Hmmmmmmmmm that's a good idea.

I thought franken too, but the original sales post from the prior/prior owner says it's a gen Tissot 2846. Without changing the wheels, how can a movement running 33% faster keep time?

I bought a 2846 for my Big Gonzo build and my builder says it's running at 28.8k bps. Has anyone heard of this before or know how it could be doing this?

Thanks Woof! Strangely enough it was the first Rolex I "had to have" and now it's the one that speaks to me the least.

I did the small-arrow swap a few months ago. Pretty snazzy huh?

A little crushed ice with your Pepsi?

I got tired of it on the steel band, and thought I'd try something different. It must have worked, I've been wearing it for the last 2 weeks! Here it is on a boring old steel band, to keep everyone happy. And a photo before I swapped it to the tropical dial, this was the "radial" dial from its earlier life.

A little ice with your drink, sir?

All of them, they fight over the #1 slot, with different winners from week to week.

In the queue for tomorrow...

Yep, and there's the rub ... nobody has ever seen a Datora with the AOPA wings. It's like it was a transitional model between the Datora and Navitimer, but sprung from the workbench of Charles Gigandet.

Hi Cruvon, yep it's mine. Pretty rare bird, I've never seen another one anywhere.

*snerk* I shoulda reset his post count to zero while I had a chance!

Please pm me and I'll let you know what we need for a vetting before high value sale approval.

It's just a replacement for my gnarly scorched-earth original lens. These things take amazing photos, even freehand.

I like it!

now it shows his baby for the picture

Take a look now, Sgt ... should be all fixed. PS, thanks for supporting RWG!

....and as the members are caught out modding their watches into frankens and getting banned for showing them, the membership will dwindle to the last remaining guy with the deepest parts stash. The rest of the guys will wind up over here with us.

The Rolex Swiss mountain elves, yes the very ones that take a year to build your watch, agree.

This explains all the holes in my '63 Land Rover.

Ewwww

So close, and yet so far! Maybe I can use some whiteout to paint white outlines on mine?

One nice thing, as a general comment, the brown tint of the dial is nearly the perfect tropical color. Compare it to my 1675 and 1665, and it's real close. InGod got that part pretty close. Out of the box it was too bright brown, but the aging toned it down nicely.

Sure, no problem, but risk and expense is on you. Note: sorry gents, I need to move this to a sales thread!
