My head hurts after three days if this

Mines a 2004 with still only 40k on it. As soon as I got it I pulled the suspension and redid it all with much heavier duty parts. Also added big brakes, and all the performance bolt ons, plenum, dual exhaust, test pipes etc. these come with 289 HP and I added about 30 more. Did a lot of measuring and math to get the right offsets and have squeezed the most rubber I could under it. I have not had a chance to drive the 370, but that car has more power to start with. They say they're great cars. Mine still puts a smile on my face every morning

Me too

The Ofrei pearls are clear whiteish. I have bought them before.

No holes??? No Lugholes???? Blasphemy!!!!

Congrats! TC are the best of this series out of the box

Interesting. There used to be some in the 5-700$ range on eBay. But all I'm seeing even aftermarket are 4800$ no plated to be found. I have this little day date, runs really well and the watch looks pretty good, until you take a longer look at the bracelet. I never wear it because of that. I might have if I'd found a good plated bracelet at a reasonable cost.

Dateless today

There's a couple if nos pearls on vrf right now for 80$ http://www.vintagerolexforum.com/ Also at Ofrei http://www.ofrei.com/page_150.html

I didn't have a lot of luck with internet dating. I got plenty of dates but nothing of quality or a match for me. Found out so many of the ladies in the age group I dated were not very honest people. (35 to 45) Terms like "average" means fat. "curvy" means obese. "independent" means must be in control. "thin" means average to fat. "no baggage" means baggage...a lot of it... and finally "a few extra lbs" means you need a flatbed truck to move her. I also realized at some point that the attractive ones are seriously outnumbered with 100's of guys giving them attention..and that's why they are there, just for the extra attention. I get a whole lot less rejection in real life. Actually it's a rare thing for me in real life, like it is for most guys. Internet dating is really not for me.

Good Day To Die Hard

Here's mine with pics of Hev installation. I still need a professional vintage relume, and a gen bracelet. Mine has the 2846 in it also. Constant little upgrade machine

So Yuki's bracelet ends will accept 2mm springbars, all you had to do was use end links that took the bigger springbars? Yeah I have also had trouble with making small holed end links bigger

blue, I think he opened up the bracelet ends. You can do it with a punch or similar tool. You push it in and then you can sort of ream them out a little. Once that part is large enough that the 2mm bars fit, you can use the WSO endlinks made for 2mm bars or gen endlinks. I have done this on a few bracelets and used the WSO endlinks. Btw the WSO endlinks are labeled on their auctions as using the 2mm springbars, as they sell both types.

I'll toss one in....( i have told this story already lol) I bought a mint/like new 16610 insert off ebay from a guy in Greece....55$ shipped. It indeed was genuine and mint, it also arrived within a week! The deals are on there, you just have to be diligent.

Really came out nice

Nice watch! Thanks

Cpttripps, Nice pictures, those are the 2mm wso 580's? Did you have to open up the Yuki end?

Lookin good!

Ill take the black one.

If its any consolation .... Ebbets Field, Denver Colo, Feb 26, 1975, He told me to shut up, I threw a drink on him, I was not even asked to leave the club... and the crowd roared with laughter He tried another song and was finally boo'd off the stage. That guy was full of himself and an ass. I've never been heckled by a performer before.

Yuki is supposed to have the hev's in stock, and cheaper than the one I got from Phong.

Congrats! No worries on the chrono...many people don't understand how they work until they have one in hand! Enjoy your new watch! Where's the pictures? We all have been sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for this watch to arrive!
