Gentlemen, you are too kind. I am just 1 of a number here who listen (to others' experiences), look (at how things work) & learn (mostly, by mistake). And I still think that watch looks like it got mugged on Canal Street.

I like the smurf Sub myself, but I would hold off for a better rep. That 1 looks pretty cheesy to me.

Is true

Sorry, I was not aware of that.

I posted a version of this a year or 2 ago, but I had somehow 'mislaid' the original (color) pics so I think the original got posted in black & white. A friend just located the original pics on her computer & I thought they were worth reposting as a mindless distraction to end a long work week on (please ignore if you already saw the original post). No one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns, they observed and studied, the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency, men went to and fro about the globe, confident of our empire over this world. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded our planet with envious eyes and slowly, and surely, drew their plans against us.

Yes, that was in my mind at the time, but the setup was just too obvious to let the opportunity pass me by. My apologies if I offended you.

Or the 333rd (nudge nudge wink wink).

Due to the current economy (which I understand is particularly bad in Vegas), I think Kruzer's upper range sounds about right for Tourneau (not generally known for having a very pliable attitude when closing deals). But I guess it all depends on how well that particular store is doing. If he does get the watch, be sure to get some wristies - those are nice watches.

Thanks. Too bad they do not make them like that anymore (now, they all seem to be 'man-made' ).

A real beauty (for a woman) & worth the wait. Well done & I am sure she will love it.

I think toothpaste may be too coarse, but any final polishing compound made for plastic or high gloss automobile finishes will also work As long as you follow up with a satin overcoat (which hides your 'work')

The 3rd it is

Looks like you got mugged on Canal Street.

Wow, that is some dome you got there. Kind of makes me want to But, back down here in the world of dreams, here is another dome

You might have better eyes than I do & it is impossible to be sure without better pictures, but I see nothing that makes me question the authenticity of any of Craig's Rolexes, including his asymmetrically-pushered 6263).

Possibly, a problem at Andrew's (or the cc processor's) end. I would have emailed Andrew after the 2nd failed attempt & let him locate the source of the problem & get back to you. Often, when you repeatedly attempt to place a charge (even if the charge does not go through), it looks very suspicious (to the bank).

Friday

All you need is an inexpensive drill press stand from Sears. See the pic in the 1st post.

Model: Cosmograph Daytona Reference: 116520 Movement: Asian-made ETA 7750 clone with additional gearing to transfer the running seconds from 9-to-6 o'clock on the dial Case: Stainless steel Crystal: Sapphire The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is an icon in modern horological history & stands as 1 of the most highly sought after & coveted luxury items ever produced. In spite of the current global economic crisis, many authorized Rolex dealers are allotted only 1 or 2 of these prized 'grail watches' per season (if that many). In fact, most Rolex dealers maintain lengthy lists of people who must wait, patiently, some for as long as 5 years, to 'get the call' when their name finally makes it to the vaunted top of the list.

When you mod CGs, you need to grind down the base (where the case tube screws into the case) as well as the ears. These are before & after pics of the same watch case (dial was changed at some point between the 2 sets of pics) (before) (after)

Although Omega has been able to pay its way onto Bond's wrist in the recent 007 movies, Daniel Craig seems to have developed a distinctly non-Omega pattern in his off-screen (unpaid) watch-wearing habits Rolex Oyster Perpetual (probably a vintage Datejust) Rolex Daytona 6263 Rolex Anniversary Milgauss Rolex Submariner (probably 6538) on NATO strap Just thought it worth noting.

Someone must be over-fluoridating the water up there.

If you can get a readable pic of the datestamp on the other side of the leaves (& the numbers back the seller's description, which looks good so far (alot of generally reliable sellers are selling franken bracelets these days, so I have found that you have to assume the worst until proven otherwise)), I would say it is a good deal.

Congratulations on your new watch. Now that you have gotten your jollies at your WS (an AD?), you might read this, paying particular attention to item 25.
