Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. You know how they say NOT TO RUN, but to back slowly away diagonally, and to drop and protect the back of your neck and abdomen if he charges? That right there is the hardest thing you'll ever do. Every fiber in your body is screaming FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, RUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Well said. I had sent him lots of junk to work on over the years, and he always did well. But when I sent him my 6536 for a service, I swear I could hear him whistling a merry tune all the way over where he lives.

If it will make you feel better I have one just like it I'll sell you for $20.

Okay that's enough. Zeleni, you're done for a week. Come back when you've calmed down. Akira apologized and I told you to drop it. This crap ends now.

Everybody shake hands and agree to drop this. I locked the other topic, there's no need to continue it here.

Phew, where were you 6 months ago when I sold my gen 6538 bezel here for just under $600 ?? Now I wish I had it for my spanking new 6538! I'd be polite and firm with Phong. Circle in the photos the EXACT things you are using for verification. Tell him in short simple sentences you want that exact dial, in the circled photos. No wiggle room.

Argh! You gotta get that promised dial. The one he sent is...... not as good. *cough* (my mama is working on me to play nice. so there's my attempt)

The bezel looks gen to me. There are some details that everyone misses and I see them there. Your last hand-held bezel pic is the money shot. Man oh man oh man this will be a nice build!

*stagger stagger stagger -- clutching chest * Good Lord M, you've got to warn me before you post those pictures! Sooooooooooo tasty. Now when you post pics of your completed Big One build, I guess I'll just have to go throw my 6538 away. Or drive over it with my Land Rover!

Gahhhhhh!!! Tell me more about that 6200! *twitch*

Legend, let me put it this way... Ziggy is the only one that I've ever had rebuild my vintage Submariner 6536. He'll be sorely missed.

I had JustAsGood work on my Frosty Flake and his work was absolutely impeccable.

Uh ohhhhhhhh, we have the New Dawg Modding king and the New Dawg Big Crown king together in the same room! Steel / Flint / Bank transfer numbers flying... Stand back folks, this is gonna get gooooood.

Y'know it feels pretty good to be struttin' around with one of TWO known pieces by the New Dawg. But I already pooched the movement on mine (imagine that) so it's off to a spa for a movement and crown. Next is an upscale plated bezel. Maybe a slightly longer minutes hand. Hmmmmmm. Then a 1030 movement? Hmmmmmmm............... STOP! BACK! STEP AWAY FROM THE EDGE!! *slap* Huh? what? Phew, thanks.... I was in a daze.

There's a New Dawg in town...... Hey Modelizer, that's one fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine watch you got there! Your taste is impeccable.
