That is exactly why none of my vintage pieces will ever go through a RSC again. Gilt rules!

A minutes hand from a Snowflake might work.

Today it's the Frosty Flake, with new glass.

Has anyone else noticed every time new members say howdy, Vlydog is the first to welcome them to our online home? Consistent kindness and hospitality ... that sets a fine, fine tone around here. Well done Vlydog!

That's the kind of brotherhood we have here gents. This is way, way more than just a watch forum. Hats off to all three of you! -BMB

The only nicer insert than that one would be a pristine original red triangle piece. Better be ready to cough up a large 4-digits sum for it too. All Hail the Kissing Four

Correction..... they were in stock. Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa Anyone want to buy a $100 insert? Kidding! Go get 'em boys!

The first in this season's "Midnight" series of photos, this is nearly midnight.

The question of "Big Crowns" vs "Small Crowns" remains...........

Ummmmmmmmmm, what would freezing the case accomplish? If the crystal was hot and the case was cold, it might help you install a very tight crystal. But then it would crack as the case warmed up. My advice is to try T-127s from different suppliers; they vary a little in dimensions. Clark makes good ones and chances are the plastic will be fresh and pliable. If it's a nice snug fit on the case, chances are you'll get a waterproof seal. Ask around and see what people have successfully used for the case you're using.

UPDATE: Matt provided email from his earlier dealings with the guy, and that email address was registered here for a different userID, "lvguy23" Also banned.

:-) The alternative here in the frozen arctic wilderness is moly disulphide axle grease. Or whale oil..........

NICE result! Very tasty.

Summer is coming so the sun is up later now... here we are nearing midnight.

Cc33, are you referring to Farrah?!

Who remembers the posters from the 70s?

If it's an old crystal it will be brittle and likely won't seal. I had a cache of old genuine Superdome T39s and had the AD here install one on my 1665 and do a pressure test. None of them would seal. But I bet a new Clarks T39 would because it's still malleable. Try a thin line of Vaseline at the very bottom corner of the rehaut where the "neck" stands up from the case. Then press the crystal down so its base sits into the Vaseline. Then lube the inside edge of the crystal retaining ring with a thin smear of Vaseline, and press it down tight. That lets parts ease into place under the pressure of the ring, and it might do the trick.

Banned here too.

That last photo is amazing!! My SD 1665 came from a commercial diver that wore it to the bottom (literally) of the 7 seas. Its lume plots are pure stark white.

:-) I liked this so much I bought one M2M and it's gorgeous but my crystal is held in as a snap-in into the bezel. Argh.

Another one from last summer grilling on the deck.

The one on the left.....
