Please keep the current layout (as it appears today - Thursday). It loads faster than the 'new' skins did & removal of those useless sidebars leaves more space for content (& I no longer have to horizontally scroll every page to read everything).

Same experience from 3 PCs, each running a different OS & the latest versions of multiple browsers (Firefox, IE & Opera). Since the delays are page-dependent (& only occur on RWG), I doubt it they are related to my connections.

However, prior to the upgrade, the slowness was mostly confined to the time it took to open/refresh the main index pages, while posting was relatively quick. But, now, for the past 2 days, just the opposite seems to be the case - index pages open within 10 or so seconds, but it is taking upwards of 30 seconds before a full reply page opens.

My usual for Wednesday I just returned my new Canon SX10 IS (not happy with the noise and chromatic issues) and awaiting a Lumix LX3 (ETA early next week). So I will be unable to post anything new until then (assuming the Lumix outputs something better than the Canon did).

Steel, because it makes the dial pop.

Well done.

You have 2 options - replace the hand with a secure 1 or repair the existing hand. Repair can be done either with a staking set or by cementing the hand/tube joint with a small dab of epoxy (Original pic by Avitt)

Around 5k.

I am amazed that you found these items so cheaply. Even in poor condition, they tend to cost nearly twice as much.

Outstanding watch. With the base cost of a gen movement & dial, I have to wonder, though, if you could have purchased a gen 1680 for not much more than you spent to build this franken? Of course, there is always the challenge/enjoyment of building it yourself, but I always question the value of building a franken that costs almost as much as the gen. But that is a personal decision & the watch is a stunner. Well done.

Monday

Thanks Boss.

Ditto & compliments to the management for the speedy upgrade.

Wearing the linen 16014 Saturday evening And watch for a new birth announcement coming to these here parts soon

Nice piece, AMK. I was wearing this But after reading about another member's near disastrous experience with his chs GMTIIC, I decided to swap over to mine in solidarity

Good luck to us all.

The amazing thing is that I actually hung around to read the entire story. Glad to hear your baby's chs movement did not suffer any permanent damage. That would be tragic.

I read the seller's story, but until/unless I see another like it (with proper provenance) from a reliable source, I would clear.

All I can say is there is alot of talent to learn from here.

Even with a hurricane at my back, your bike looks ALOT faster than my vintage metal. But what is wrong with your sight (though I guess it is probably difficult to see anything when cruising at hyper-warp speeds)? I always keep the shiny side up.

Much too large for my 20" wide screen, but a beautiful picture. Ending the work week wearing my usual beater

Nope, not unless you make them operable.

Once again, I find myself swimming against the current of prevailing opinion. I have always thought the modern Daytona is, if anything, on the large side, at least for my 7" wrist But, to be fair, I sold my Pams long before the big watch fad caught on in the early 00s, because, on my wrist, I thought they looked like the watch equivalent of these

TT - Lookin' good & as long as the weather is clear & I get these rebuilt in time I will be following suit this weekend
