Now THAT is some hard-won knowledge right there. Ubi and I ran into some of that "the hard way", maybe this will save you guys some aggravation. Thanks for the post!

Garrrr me hearties, hoist the Snowflakes and man the lines! Arrrrrrrrrrrr!

There we go! Right there.... see that boys? REAL constructive criticism! ("metal is too wide" my ass, where's the damn BAN button for Vlydog!) Just kidding!

What??? A perfect opportunity to tear apart my watch and you want me to leave it alone??? Y'know Ephry, there's a verrrrrrrrrrrrrry tasty little 9411 Snowflake for sale right now. With a BRAND NEW Ziggified movement. What's the old saying? "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"? Think of the joy, the unmitigated GLEE that thing would bring you! In fact I outright guarantee heart palpitations and breathless joy when you unwrap it. When you hold it to your ear and hear its gentle ticking it will be just like your first kiss with Rebecca Jean Farnsworth under the stairs at school. Yeah you thought I didn't know about that. See?? I know what you like. This watch has your name all over it. GUARANTEE DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on this site are my own and not paid for by special interests.

Thank you kindly Red, looking at yours and then at mine, I think we have the same hands. I wonder if mine would benefit from the espresso painting technique? It would take away some of the shine from the borders.

This won't effect the lume on me buxom hand, will it?

Now there's an idea! I can have you mill a couple thou out of its middle lengthwise!

Avast, ye scurvy dogs an' tell me what be wrong with me buxom lass? Me eye tells me her minutes hand be too broad in her beam. What say ye? Cast a close eye.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr lad, fairer says I than me gen GMT be the' meters-first Sub ye hoisted up in me eye. Right tempted be I to offload yon wench GMT an put the booty onto a meters-first of me own! Stand and be counted lads, who's to buy this wench GMT and fund me bad habits?!

Wow, THAT is a piece to be proud of. Well done. I bet the gen fora would wet themselves to hear we are making our own dials here.

Here's me daily wearer, ye scallywags! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

You have GOT to post a warning before you put that photo up! Serious heart palpitations here.

Welcome! If you're in the Seattle area there's lots of good places for eyecandy downtown........

Garrrrrrrrrrrrr me hearties, 'tis the day for grog and a buxom lass ... National Talk Like a Pirate Day! Take what ye can, and give nuttin back! GARRRRRRRRRRRR! Talk like a Pirate Day

Nothing much, I put a bear bell on the dog and leave my phone on in my pocket (so it can be located). Other than that just pay attention to what's all around and no worries.

Thanks Mike, I've got my skis all waxed up and counting the days! Good thing that was a little bitty black bear poo. I hate finding the great big brown bear piles with the fingers and toes still in them.

And a huge THANKS to Red for doing this for me! However, when asked I will disavow all knowledge of how that seconds hand was broken completely off my movement. Or where the seconds hand actually went.........

You'd have to go back and search but I think someone here took a Marsupliamiwhatever 702 tube and cut down its length to fit a 700 crown. I think....

I have a bezel nearly identical to this one, if you can't find another source. In this picture the wear around the base of the bezel is from contact with the crown. It's a close fit anyway, and as the crown gasket wears, it screws further onto its tube, and eventually the clearance between crown and bezel is gone. Turning the (soft) bezel eats it away against the (hard) crown.

I took this photo starting my climb last night. Perhaps a little less coffee would reduce the jitters?

Ephry, the dial is captured under the rehaut, but only by the slightest amount.

Roger that, I bought my Brevet 6mm twinlock crown from him, and the innards are rounded so it jumps when I try to wind it at the crown. Live and learn.

Yep, black with a slate grey insert. Glad you like it!

I went for another hike tonight, and the Fall colors are getting better and better! No snow yet but we're freezing at night now. Wristie Fall colors Are we the only forum with photos of watches and bear poo?

Proceed with caution, he has a couple of those and one is missing the crown "guts". Try this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/7mm-Rolex-Submariner-Double-Red-Sea-Dweller-Crown-5513-/330608711837
