  1. Nice! One of my favorites. And when you get tired of the off-the-shelf look you can go gonzo with it!
  2. Iso! Welcome back! Stick around, eh??
  3. I tried every number of Loctite out there for my bracelet rivet pin screws and none did the job. They still came unscrewed each day. I wound up knurling the threads a little on the screws and that did it... they're still tight 2 years later. And yes, I do check them constantly when I wear the watch. What's the old saying about twice bitten?
  4. Very nice! And JAG is a pleasure to work with for sure.

  8. Ahhhhhhh, the Force is strong with this one. Now we see how you did it! Nice job!
  9. Nicely done! There was a post by Ubiquitous, lo these many moons past, that described bending the leaves (not the fliplock) of a Rolex clasp slightly to give it a stronger "snap" as the clasp closed. You can hone your Mad Forum Skillz by trying to find it and bring it back to the top of the active topic list. Gauntlet tossed!
  10. Of course this is assuming 2+2=5 (for very large values of 2)
  11. Well I left out some of it, hoping that he'd be able to connect the dots. *dripping sarcasm* What I meant to imply was a probabilistic proof of the Weyl integration formula on the unitary group. This relies on a suitable definition of Haar measures conditioned to the existence of a stable subspace with any given dimension. The developed method leads to the following: for this conditional measure, writing $Z_U^{(p)}$ for the first non-zero derivative of the characteristic polynomial at 1, $Z_U^{(p)}$ can be decomposed as an explicit product of $n-p$ independent random variables. This implies a central limit theorem for $\log Z_U^{(p)}$ and asymptotics for the density of $Z_U^{(p)}$ near 0. I mean, duh. Similar limit theorems apply for the orthogonal and symplectic groups. Now if you are mapping x->Ux, Let {ei, e2s ... en} be the complete orthonormal system of Rn, so that if xn = <x, en >=
  12. Okay, I'll explain it again. But just this once more. Please listen carefully this time. A topological group is locally compact if and only if the identity e of the group has a compact neighborhood. This means that there is some open set V containing e whose closure is compact in the topology of G. A locally compact group G carries an essentially unique natural measure, the Haar measure, which allows one to consistently measure the "size" of sufficiently regular subsets of G. "Sufficiently regular subset" here means a Borel set; that is, an element of the σ-algebra generated by the compact sets. More precisely, a right Haar measure on a locally compact group G is a countably additive measure μ defined on the Borel sets of G which is right invariant in the sense that μ(A x) = μ(A) for x an element of G and A is a Borel subset of G and also satisfies some regularity conditions (spelled out in detail in the Haar measure definition). The take-home concept is, except for positive scale factors, Haar measures are unique. Now then do we need to go over this again?
  13. Dude, you settled for that pathetic 5-row piece? C'mon you gotta man up and get the REAL bling. Check the 13-row.
  14. Yeah, and look what being vegetarian got 'em ... they're all dead too. Oh, except for Brad Pitt. Angelina just wants him dead.
  15. Magnificent! I love how the crystal edges are polished over. Check out the pictures of my 1680 for more... I love it!
  16. I like how RED the text is on your dial. The bezel looks to be from a Sub, where the SD bezel is much thicker. Once you fit the thicker bezel, you'll have to fit a taller domed crystal, so take that as you like. You have the older fonts on your insert, which is very cool... most inserts have a "flat four" and yours is pointy. No drooping crown guards, very nice. I agree with Freddy, the caseback is pretty unfulfilling. Overall? It's darn nice. WAY better than the vast majority of what was out there even 5 or 7 years ago!
  17. Ho hooooooooooooo, now THAT is one gorgeous watch!! Two thumbs WAY up!
  18. I don't know about you guys, but I'm reaaaaaalllllly curious about that bezel.
  19. Very nice! If you've still got that 8mm crown there are plenty of people that can tap the case and install it for you.

    Rolex smut

    Pretty stuff, but look at the 6200 ... $99,700 and it's got a screwy bezel and insert?
  21. Holy smokes. Overpriced, but ... wow http://www.interwatches.com/rolex-watches/...nd-collectables
  22. Well okay, that was short lived... all the snow on the flats is melted but there's freshies up on the mountains. I think I have an illness... I need to call in sick with a vision problem, I CAN'T SEE GOING TO WORK TODAY!!!!
  23. Too late!! *SPLAT!!*
  24. Hey Ken, c'mere a minute, I got something I want to show you...... Oops! Scuze me.
