Okay I'll give you guys credit for figuring out #2. But steeeeeeeerike TWO and THREE on the others. #1 is my neighbor's dog, the biggest Akita you've ever seen. A truly frightening bone cruncher, all white like a polar bear with a pure black head. We call him "sir". He loves to go for hikes with me. #3 is a small wolf. There's been a pack hanging around the last couple weeks howling at night. Good guesses guys!

DING DING DING DING!!! You got #2, indeed a wolverine. Now what's #1 and #3?

C'mon Maxman, toss it out there. What say ye? Name those furry beasts! HINTS: Pictures #1 and #3 were on pretty hard packed snow. Picture #2 was deep and soft with a bit of a crust.

I went up the mountain behind the house last night and saw some neat tracks. Who can tell me what made them? Here's #1 (note boot print for size comparison) Here's #2 Here's #3

Ahhhhhhhhh, a man who recognizes the true Sixties funk of bean oil. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Okay I'm feeling generous. Here ya go.

Ding ding ding ding!!! Da winnah!!! I'll send you a photocopy of a check for $3,200.

Makes you wonder sometimes. Go ahead ... tell me which of these is gen, and which is rep. Hint: I left the giveaway visible.

Oh, that's just cruel. Go ahead, rub salt in my wounds. (did it work? do you feel guilty yet??)

That *might* work. You'd have to get the case crazy clean for the Faststeel to stick correctly. If it was me, I'd probably chase out fresh threads in the case to get new, raw metal and then do the epoxy. Of course if it was REALLY me, I'd go find a "helicoil" to fit the existing threads and provide the correct reduced thread size.

Thanks R! I aims to please.

Yes please! I'll take the 700. Do you take gold dust in trade?

Here's a 702 crown and tube

Dvn, I made the requested edits for you.

Thanks for the heads up about the potential scam. Please keep us informed about the outcome. Can I suggest you remove the names and email addresses of his references, as well as his personally identifying information? That is to be kept between you, he, and the admin at TZ.

The Sons of Norway are hosting a big event downtown with the dog races. This ought to be a hoot!

For gawd's sake don't post that on the Doxa forum!

PETA? People Eating Tasty Animals? You bet!!

Thanks gents, it was given to me by my buddy that died a year ago. His uncle flew with it for decades, it's an AOPA Gigandet and I've never seen another one like it.

Montbrillant Datoras, say hello to Grandpa Datora.

This will be the highlight of the week. GO DOGS GO!!! If you're really REALLY lucky you might run into The Man, The Legend... George Attla

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Hence the "wokky" rehaut on many 6538 cases. The gen case is quite small compared to a contemporary "40mm" case, which is the basis for most no-crownguard Subs. So to make the smaller dials fit they just push that rehaut angle out to fill the gap. When you see a vintage piece with the right dial diameter and a nice near-vertical rehaut, you know you're looking at a boutique case (I love that phrase!) or a gen. Compare a gen 6536 and its rehaut: ...to a "boutique" case:

True, and unfortunately a gen pearl falls out as easily as an OFrei part. So it's aftermarket pearls for me!
