Here's a good start, we talked about this in 2011 when he built a jaw-dropping 6542:

Hey Legend, that's how they make legends in Canada! Beers on the house!

Donerix did a tutorial years ago, I'll see if I can find it.

To my jaundiced eye the dial looks great. I'd take a slightly different approach... consider the Donerix trick of sanding the rehaut to bring the inside diameter back a little. That will open up the face a little and reveal more of the minute ticks. That might be all it needs.

So a Phong ETA is, what, a rep of a Phong gen rep?

No, he didn't call you a "Canadian Legend", he was replying to Legend that you reside in Canada. He has the IP tools to look that up, being a trusted Moderator here. Good luck sending your watch to China. Be sure to post pics of the repaired piece when it gets back.

Three Statisticians walk into a bar. The barkeep asks them if they want a beer? First statistician: "I'm not sure" Second statistician: "I'm not sure" Third statistician: "Yes!"

There's a 87.335% chance you'll love that Signet.

Three statisticians go hunting. After awhile they spot a rabbit. The first statistician aims and overshoots. The second aims and undershoots. The third statistician jump up and yells "We got him!"

I could do 100 movements a day and still have time for beer and brats. It's simple: Dunk movement in bucket of gasolineBlow dry with air compressorSpray liberally with WD-40.Next

Once you do that and get the ring off, the broken bits should come with it. Clean them and the case up and it's easy to slide the new crystal down over the "lip" on the case. Then press the ring back down over the crystal to squeeze it in place. Beware there are at least 3 different sizes for tropic 19 crystals, varying by very small amounts. The right one will be a snug thumb press down over the lip, the others will be sloppy loose or "no way in hell is this thing going on that case".

I've never seen a porcupine move so fast in my life.

Only in Alaska.

Well said, Legend. Thanks for watching out for us!

They say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". It all depends on amount of "aging" you're looking to achieve.

Looks like a service dome. Here's how the refractions look on a Service vs a Superdome:

There are actually at least 3 Mark III variants, this is a rare "hook five" style:

It's all about the tiny serifs. Look at the 3, 4 and 5

Nicely done. I'd like to see the results for the surface method too. I think you and I would have a lot of fun at a GTG, but everyone else would be looking at us like we're from Mars or something. Consider a section view of a toroid. At its center place a circle with its bottom tangent coincident with the toroid's center, having diameter equal to the outer ring diameter of the torus. The area of the circle will overlie part of the torus' cross section, but there's an arc area extending from the toroid center outward to the torus' perimeter, beneath the arc of the circle, which will be uncovered. My question is, can this uncovered area be modeled as the area lying between a hyperbola and its asymptote? If you could "denature" the arced area onto a flat axis, would it result in what I'm hoping for? I've been tossing this around for a couple months and can't convince myself it would represent a hyperbolic arc. Whaddaya think??

Nice! Did you get into nonlinear functions with your time series analysis?
