Mike, this place is all about empowering people to speak their minds, to give kudos where they're due, and to out the scammers. Each member has the freedom to do this. You guys are doing a fine job keeping people informed of the dealings with MD2020. He approached me almost a year ago about being a trusted modder here, so I sent him a nice piece so he could prove himself. I withheld any endorsement until I personally saw what he can do. His performance was going to speak for itself. It's been since March and I never got it back. All communication has stopped. In my Scout troop I give the boys just enough rope to prove themselves as leaders, or to hang themselves. It's about standing on your own two feet. I did that with MD2020 and he failed miserably. So from where I'm sitting MD2020 won't be getting RWG's approval as a modder. I won't speak for Admin, this is his house we're playing in. But I'm sure he feels the same way. Thanks for CCing me on the PMs. I still hope you guys get your watches back, but like Legend, I've written mine off too.

Nicely done!

FJs and old Land Rovers, now this conversation is getting interesting! After all some "sports" are driven at walking speed.

Oh, I thought you said FJ40...

Merci!

...maybe it's under this heap of scrap metal! Yarrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhh

I will worship the ground you walk on if you can get me two of those thick gaskets!

"Sports" can happen offroad too...

Did somebody say TRL!!?

Wow! Let's see some pictures of that AOPA!

Wowwwwww nice!

I have just the opposite problem, I can't find an inner gasket big/thick enough! Are there any sources you know of?

Okay gentlemen, I've looked deep into my heart and I can ignore it no longer. Yes, most could walk by and blissfully ignore your plight, but I need to rise above. I'm duty-bound to right these wrongs ... to bring solace where it's possible. And so, I have decided to carry your burden. I know it's unexpected, but I cannot stand by and watch you suffer. It breaks my heart to see your anguish as your crowns only screw down 1/2 a turn. I feel your pain. Please package up the wretched things and send them to me for (cough) disposal. I'll deal with them. And in return, a shiny new 703 crown for every participant! Guaranteed to screw down at least one full turn. It's the least I can do for my friends here.

Time for some Crazy Eyes!

You're right about that one for sure!

Here's what the windows look like on the 2nd story on the downwind side of the house.

I sent my 6536 bezel to JMB to make some coin edge samples from brass. He sent back a blank that's about perfect and it measures 2.06mm thick and 37.51mm O.D. The 6542 will be a little different as its a different shape.

You're welcome to join me! I took the dogs out for their morning ritual and they didn't appreciate it much. I thought it was funny as heck!

I guarantee that case is not 13mm thick. My 6536/1 case from the same era is ~5mm thick. Overall from bottom to top of the crystal it might be 13mm.

Well we've got a bit of a breeze blowing outside now, up to 106mph and rising.

Sorry about that DP, but just wait till you see what I've stirred up now, swapping inserts around. We're having a 100mph wind/rain/snow storm tonight so no pictures will happen. I'll try to post some up tomorrow.
