You got it baby. Sorry about the wolverine snot! It does wash out with soap and water. Hint: DON'T GO OUTSIDE for awhile. Wolverines are mightily attracted to the snot of their mates.

I like several things about the 702. Mostly I like the beveled back and how it looks in between an old pair of crown guards. That little gap to the case is essential for vintage Rolex. Then I like the fully exposed threads. With a 703 part of the threads are covered by the crown and if you get crud in there (inevitable) it can't be cleaned out and the crown/tube threads can get stripped. Finally, you can clean/wax the threads on a 702 tube with a piece of dental floss and keep 'em smooth as a baby's butt. Nothing finer.

"B" is the rep.... and very nicely done!

Just a little sumptin-sumptin, fresh back from the Canadian Spa!

How about if there's more than one page when viewing new topics? I can't find a button to go "next page" It's the same on my iPhone.

PPPPFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo...................... man that was a long time holding my breath... Nice job, Boss!! Looking good.

I pity da foo who miss his dam' appointment!

I pity the fool who mess up the ETA stem release button. AGAIN.

That's a very nice gesture. This was my answer to the same thought:

True, true. Some of the uberfrankens we have here are gen right down to the case... which is a true 1:1 copy of the real deal, made from the same steel. Does being machined on Rolex CNC machines qualify it for being a gen case? Sooooooooooooooooo how about the Doxa cases being made in China? And if some of those cases happened to pop up as Doxa reps... would that "rep" in fact BE a gen Doxa? Is my gen 1665 in fact a replica... of the original prototype? Philospher's Axe, indeed. Shades of grey. I think it's all in the intent.

SWEET! You're well prepared for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Splash away!

Holy SMOKES have you got the touch!! That's a spectacular result.

Nice discussion, LK. Here's a question, for the sake of argument: Say I have a gen vintage watch and it's missing the pearl. So I find a nice aftermarket pearl, vintagize it, and glue it on. Is my watch still a gen? Now let's say my insert with the new pearl is really nasty. So I find a good PMWF insert, age it slightly, glue in that custom aftermarket pearl, and snap it on. Is my watch still a gen? Now, I'm tired of the boring caseback, so I go looking and shazzam, there's a gorgeous COMEX caseback for sale. I snatch it and put it on my watch. Is my watch still a gen? I'm sure you see where I'm going with this. At what point does it stop being gen and start being fake? Is a '66 GT Mustang without the Hipo small block still a GT?

Oh BABY!! I'm in love.

Not to worry, Ziggy is EXTREMELY busy with his business. At this time he has a closed customer list. Any new customers will be by recommendation of existing customers, and that's not even a guarantee. He is GOOD so he is in high demand. Stick around awhile and see if you can work your way onto his customer list.

Unfortunately that really IS 40+ years of hard use. And only 10 since the last complete Rolex Service Center rebuild.

I wonder if that would make me go faster on my mtn bike? If it was my choice I'd go with this little beauty By Paul Gerber http://www.tp178.com/jd/uber-comp/artikel_4_2.html

Hey now, it's not thaaaat bad!! "Gently used" I like to call it.

What an awesome tribute to this place we call http://127.0.0.1 (for w0lf's benefit) Well done chaps, near and far.

All good news! The varnish IS getting a touch faded on the mahogany around the fireplace in the Admin/Mods lounge, wouldn't you agree? And don't get me started on the latch to the walk-in cigar humidor. And are we finally getting that topless single-malt bar you've been promising?

The admin teams at the other boards have his username, email address and IP address. Still no login since 9/4 darnit.

Good luck with the caseback, these have a groove that the opening tool fits into, instead of raised teeth like Rolex backs.

Nice! And I spy Jeppesen ... "ATC" training?
