Still wearing my beater

PM sent.

With your low post count & inability to accept Paypal, I would be sufficiently suspect as to simply not buy. If someone is making libelous remarks in public about you, you should warn them to stop. If they do not, report them to staff.

Still wearing my beater

Took my beater to the range

Nanuq - You are joking I hope? Like 'tropical' black dials (that fade to brown due to paint issues), (naturally) bluing inserts are very collectible.

You are going to have to bite the bullet & pay the going price if you want a gen (I have never seen a credible aftermarket/rep fat font insert). Best sources are the for sale sections of the gen forums & ebay.

Got to love a nice DJ. I think you may have a later datewheel (the 160x wheels typically have the flat-top 3), but that is common on a watch of that age & was probably replaced during a normal overhaul. Otherwise, well done.

Tiffany blue aside (I happen to like it), if you can: 1. reshape/correct the CGs, 2. live with the washed out colors & 3. have the lifestyle (& balls) to pull it off without it looking like a poseur, then, yes, absolutely. Here is the gen for reference

Hi Andyp25 (or is it Andiep25?) & welcome aboard. 1st, pics are mandatory. You cannot come here, blab about having 32 watches in 3 cases without posting at least 1 good, clear pic . 2nd, all of the sellers listed on RWG are known quantities. But, like everything else, some are better than others. Perfect Clones (Josh) is 1 of the best, but, like anything, YOU need to do your homework & research before you hit the buy button. Remember, these are reps, not multi-thousand quid gens (genuine watches). Also, I would recommend that you read Toad's newbie guide along with the forum rules (both pinned atop the Introduction forum, accessible from our home page). Good luck & have fun.

I would never have clipped a gen Sub dial, but, otherwise, ditto above.

Wearing a wee bit of red for Valentine's Day

I thought it looked great to begin with, but the enhanced patination does take it a step further.

Very nice & keep it, unworn, in a soft, padded case if you want it to remain nice.

Ending the week wearing 1 of my Subs

Genuine sapphire crystals are generally scratch proof. To find out about the delivery process or if a particular rep has a genuine sapphire crystal, you will need to direct your question to the rep seller. Most list these types of questions in an FAQ or similar page on their website.
