For Sale - Lightly used Snowflake, low miles, only stepped on once."

That works fine, tested down to -35f

When I'm camping in the cold I keep it on my wrist or in a sock at the foot of my sleeping bag. Maybe you can put it under your pillow?

I've found that oil based lubes tend to grab dirt; they become abrasive pastes over time. The wax based chain lubes don't attract dirt and work great, but you have to polish a lot to get the exposed links clean after applying it.

$6,000 is a lot of money for a watch. By spending that amount you should be able to expect a complete, well assembled, solid piece with no issues. When the small issues start to arise it will be disappointing, and the fact you spent that amount on it will feel like a betrayal. It will not be perfect, it will be very nice, and the $6,000 isn't the end of your outlay for this one. So, are you prepared for that? If you build it yourself it will take much longer but in the end it will be exactly what you want, and it will be built right.

With the recent conditions these are my footwear of choice.

YAAARRRRRRRRR!!!! Now that's weather!

This is why God made center punches. Tap a little dent right in the middle and start drilling there.

Man that Bonesy Red is a looker. Welcome aboard!

NOW you're talking.

You could just sorta place the tube in the right spot and smack it with a big hammer.....

Call me old school but put some Loctite on the tube, screw it into the case finger tight, then screw the crown onto the tube, and use the crown to seat the tube into the case. It's always worked for me.

Truer words were never spoken.

Ahhhhhhh, so a successful sale on your FS thread, then? Very nice!

There are three profiles to the domed T-19. The flattest one is the "Service dome". I have one I'll trade for the glorious Superdome if you're interested? I might even have another flatter one than that. Both gen.

Well of course you like them Pete, that's affectionately known as the Nipple Dial.

Man, that looks like a DOXA!!! Let's go diving!!!

Assault

Sintered Steel, baby. It's been used in motorcycle engines for years, partly because it's very receptive to oil films and the alloys can be very carefully controlled.

How many times have you checked your watch, then a minute later realized you don't know what time it is? There's just something about a big lurid domed plexi crystal.

Cats, is that the famous Oliver build? Spectacular! Every detail is perfect.

I finally pried the Big Gonzo off my wrist, and thought I'd go back to an old friend.

Yes, I get weird results too. And with Tapatalk on the iPhone it will work fine, then it will stop sending PMs or attaching pictures. I don't know why this happens. I guess we will call it a "feature" and go on, eh?

Congratulations to seller and buyer! But I still want to see the required forum sales details for posterity's sake. Non negotiable.
