My boy's Yobokies this afternoon.

To Infinity and Beyond!

That thing is gorgeous! Nicely done.

And some parts will just dry up completely. The autowind wheels on my 1030 movements for example. When they die and there are NO replacements then the watch becomes a paperweight. So my Frankens with ETA hearts get more and more use.

I thought I overpaid when I gave Philip on TZ $300 for a genuine dome T18 crystal ten years ago. Now there's one on eBay for $980.

Wow, you're kidding! I'll look at it with my loupe. I was thinking it was chipped... look closely at my photo, at 37 minutes on the insert there's a piece chipped out of the black. I sure hope I can just clean that off the 40. I'll know when it comes back from the Spa. Can't wait!

I spent a couple hours tonight learning this: http://www.azchords.com/c/crosbystillsnashandyoung-tabs-5029/triad-tabs-133815.html Wow that was a tough one... and what great chord shapes! Anyone else into this stuff?

This is precisely why this place exists, to out scammers and share watch information. Well done, lads.

Boom boom, out go the lights.

Roger that, when you have a genuine crown and tube with a little wax on the threads (dental floss) it's so nice and smooth you want to just play with it all day.

"In the Beginning was the Dial. And God looked down from on high and said 'It is good'". Lo, dude, it rocketh!!

The Big Gonzo is at the spa, so it's Little Brother for today.

I love that dial! Now you have to make the hands match it. A very simple (and irreversible) way to add some tint is to hold a lit cigarette close to the hands (while they're mounted on toothpicks) and let the heat discolor them. Go slow.

Yum!!

Yeah my MkIII is getting chipped already from diving. Look at the damaged 40...

A lot of wishing on the seller's part.... Realistically its a $4,000 piece as it sits, because.... 1) it's iconic and, 2) there are only about 14 of them in the world. Interestingly, 4 of them live here on RWG.

Wow, the details are all there to make me think that's a gen... that would make it #14 worldwide that I know of. Shame it got so damaged! I can hear it saying though... "yeah you shoulda seen the OTHER guy!"

Hmmmmmmmm...... I have a red triangle Phong sitting here. I should mount it in the extra MQ bezel and I can have a spare set of shoes for baby.

Phew! Good, the serifs on 3 and 4 had me drooling.

Because I have no pride whatsoever I'll put up my skanky old beater as the follow-on to cc33's incredible red triangle insert.

For the love of all that's holy, where did you find that insert!!!

Heres a photo of an Ivan dial to compare with the MQ

A couple of gen t17s on fleabay right now...

While out on the Snauxbike...

Okay I'll put up the Frosty Flake.
