Original Scope

I got a response from DW today. Will keep you updated.

Thanks, Will do.

I left DW a message via the website about a week ago but no response.

The Admins at RWG 1.1 have been great in trying to help. As of recently the all e mail addresses bounce back for Steve and Dw. Just wanted to get the word out(and vent as well). I guess it is part of the game but it still is hard to swallow.

I waited a long time to post this and give Steve a chance to come through. I ordered a v72 case and dial from him in November on another forum. It should have been a simple transaction as we are both in the U.S. He promised to ship it on three occasions and talked of having family medical problems so I did not press him. Now it seems he has been missing since December 30th and owes many others parts and watches as well. Just want to know if anyone else is in the same boat or if anyone else has been in contact with him or knows how to reach him. This is not a post to trash him but I think many people stand to lose much more than me. Thanks in advance. Scope

Thanks guys. I'm really loving this one.Now I'm looking around for the perfect leather strap.

Thanks guys, The price of the case and strap are about a grand. It would be around fifteen hundred for a new movement but I found a deal on a older one and dial. I came out a lot better than my Daytona budget and I have a Gen.

Hi all, it has been a long time since I have had anything really to post. Due to some family and economic problems I have tried to stay away as this site is torture when your broke and cannot afford a hobby you truly love. In the past few months I was planning a franken Daytona project that went to @#%$& due to being ripped off from a dealer I will disclose in the near future if not resolved.When going back to the planning stage I thought about the total cost of the Paul Newman Franken build and took a left turn. Here are the specs........ Gen Omega 861 winding movement(serviced and running at +3 a day) and gen dial and hands from 1984 New replacement case from Ofrei New replacement band from Ofrei And the pics of a spanking new Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch I am more than happy with my choice. It beat out the Daytona anyway and went to the moon

Wow,great job. Great post.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I feel a project coming on..........
