To be fair, as is the case with most religions (& cults), not all members take their holy books literally. The trouble with Islam is that, for centuries, a large minority does & the majority of the rest remain silent & do nothing. That is something that sets Islam apart from all other religions. Every group has its bad apples. What sets the civilized apart from the truly savage is how a group treats those bad apples & Islam has an appalling record of celebrating its baddest apples.

Allow me - Australia: Muslim pedophile not charged because of “cultural differences” still stalking children In 2003, Sweden's rape statistics were higher than average at 9.24, but in 2005 they shot up to 36.8 and by 2008 were up to 53.2. Now they are almost certainly even higher as Muslim immigrants continue forming a larger percentage of the population. With Muslims represented in as many as 77 percent of the rape cases and a major increase in rape cases paralleling a major increase in Muslim immigration, the wages of Muslim immigration are proving to be a sexual assault epidemic by a misogynistic ideology. The statistics are skewed by urban centers where the Islamic colonists cluster. In Stockholm this summer there was an average of 5 rapes a day. Stockholm has gone from a Swedish city to a city that is one-third immigrant and is between a fifth and a quarter Muslim. Sweden, like the rest of the West, will have to come to terms with the fact that it can either have female equality or Muslim immigration. It cannot have both. 1 in 4 Swedish Women Will Be Raped as Sexual Assaults Increase 500% Muslim men rape non-Muslim women (and girls) in disproportionately high numbers in countries with growing Muslim minority populations. Rape of infidel women is part of Islamic law and Islamic tradition. As such, it’s been going on for centuries. Islam, rape, and the fate of Western women A rape epidemic is coming to America. No, this is not the feminazi version of rape, where a woman can decide much later that a consensual sexual encounter was actually rape. No, this is the worst form of violent, nonconsensual, criminal rape. And the future American victims of rape can thank Barack Obama for the crimes against them. The president wants to bring in a huge number of Islamic “refugees.” That is the problem. Rape has been an Islamic tradition since the beginning of Islam. The Koran allows this. “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war” (Koran 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The coming rape of America 'Our society is falling apart. We have to borrow money to provide education and basic health care for our citizens. Due to decades of mass immigration, our previously safe country is not safe any more. 'Not only do we have a very high number of shootings and gang-related violence . . . but Sweden now has the second highest number of rape reports in the entire world.' Torn apart by an open door for migrants: Sweden is seen as Europe's most liberal nation, but violent crime is soaring

Well done.

Gentlemen - you are free to express your views, but not to use foul language or to attack specific people. That is over the edge. While I believe there is more than 1,000 years of factual evidence to support the premise that Islam is a violent religion (or cult, as some historians have suggested), to suggest that all Muslims are violent or ignorant is itself ignorant & unenlightened. But 1 cannot ignore the fact that nearly all of the military-style attacks against innocent, unarmed civilians since the late 70s were committed by Muslims. Not Christians, not Jews, not Norwegians, not South Koreans & not Texans. The perpetrators are nearly always Muslims & their 'jihad' is always against the 'Great Satans' - Jews, Israel, the United States & other western societies. You can rationalize or feel whatever you want, but that does not change the facts.

Interesting analogy, but the fact remains that if all of these Islamic terrorist attacks since 1978 on innocent civilians had been committed by Jews or Christians, there would have been loud, unequivocal & nearly unanimous condemnations from virtually every Jew & Christian. The reason so many Jews & Christians look on Muslims with suspicion is specifically because the silence from the Islamic world in the face of ongoing & ever-more violent acts against innocent civilians is deafening. Every society has its share of evil people. The difference between the civilized & the uncivilized is how each society treats those evil people. The civilized condemn & punish them, while the uncivilized celebrate them. (Palestinians dancing in the streets on 9/11)

Excuse me? There is no reason for you to lock this thread.

Ken - Murder on a grand scale is exactly what these Islamics have been threatening the west with for literally hundreds of years. Now, we can debate who started the Crusades until hell freezes over, but the fact remains that since at least 1978, Muslims have been threatening 'Death to America' & 'Death to Jews' & doing their best to make good on those threats. I just do not see anything similar coming from the west. In fact, it is because the west has been so civil in the face of this Islamic barbarism that it has not just continued, but snowballed. Sometimes, you really do have to fight fire with fire (as opposed to stern words & appeasement). Even Homeland gets it. Thanks for the link, Ken. It demonstrates that nearly all of these violent terrorist acts were/are committed by leftists &/or religious fanatics (of all stripes).

You decide:57% of Arab Israelis say Islamic Movement represents themPoll: 18% of Muslims in Israel say ISIS is not a terror group 'In last year’s survey, 24% of the Arab Muslims demonstrated ‘positive’ and ‘positive to some extent’ views or refused to comment on ISIS. That’s nearly a quarter of the Arab Muslim population either supporting ISIS or remaining silent on its atrocities only 12 months ago.' How Muslims fuel ‘Islamophobia’

Impossible to say without trying them. The problem with aftermarket cases is that there is little or no quality control or consistency of parts. A gen tube or xtal may fit perfectly into 1 case, but they may not fit in the next case from the same source. Because the crown fits onto the tube (not the case), a gen crown will fit a properly installed gen tube. Most (not all) of the time, you can get a gen tube to fit into most cases. However, you may need to retap the threading since in the case depending on the type of threading used for the original (aftermarket) tube. But, again, the only way to know what gen parts will fit YOUR case is to try them on your case. There are hundreds of construction threads on RWG that you can research via the Search. I would recommend you do that. Also, check out the pinned articles in the Watchmaking forums.

I generally prefer bracelets to straps on a 62xx Daytona, but always love seeing them no matter what affixing device their owner chooses.

A lot of brilliant GMTs in this thread, including the OP's 'new' 1. Well done gentlemen.

If you find yourself back near these shops, tell them you are a member of the world's top replica watch collector forum (& feel free to refer them here). Then, ask if they will permit you to take pics of the store for the 40,000+ RWG members (who are all potential buyers). That may sway them to be a bit more favorable towards your pic request. And good post!

'Accurate' is the key word. 100% accuracy will cost you a gen. 98% accuracy will cost you several thousand dollars for a high-end V72 franken. 95% accuracy will cost you 4-5 grand for a good V72 franken. 90% accuracy can be had for several hundred dollars for a 775x rep.........& so on. There are many threads you can find via the Search detailing the options. Although it has not been updated for a few years, a good place to start is Bytor's Daytona review.

My sympathies to the people of Paris and a warning for the rest of us: we had better take off the gloves and acknowledge that these fiends are waging war on the civilian populations of the west before it is too late.
