Hi George.

Forget it. You don't have the secret handshake.

Very nice. And here's a question... is there a "correct" and "definitive" shape for a Rolex case? Everyone's seen the famous "drooping" CGs on MBW SDs. Well, from the side they look exactly like the CGs on my gen 1680. Not just close... exactly the same. And the case at the 9:00 position is nowhere near "vertical". It leans in considerably from the back toward the bezel. In that aspect, the MBW case, while being vertical, is not "correct" because it's supposed to lean in. ...............or is it?

The effect is very much like Ti when it's by itself; you'd never think it was just a bead blast. But when you put it up against real Ti then you can see a small difference. It's not quite as dark and menacing as the real stuff.

Snowflake too? Actually no, too much of a good thing and all that... Thanks gents!

Thanks Chief, it glows like a torch too!

A Seiko Mod from Harold, AR'd sapphire, reversed case, "titanium" bead blast.

Where did I put that camera?

Yeah Mister Nice Guy... I see that 9mm in your waistband.

It was great having them... let's hope they make it a habit to come back!

Uh oh. He pulled Da Foak. I think I'll just, um, concede my position now...

Sweet! Wait until you reach 1,337 posts...

You're good... but not good enough! My associates have their eyes on you.

Lord have mercy... It's perfect.

Oh, wait a minute........that's not mine! It's just eye candy for a Friday. I want to see Freddy's jaw drop.

Not so fast, Sparky. I have it on good faith that Maria still assembles watches, painstakingly, one at a time, in his mountain chalet, with these helpful assistants to keep the casual visitor away.

My favorite thing! 11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing! Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary: Day 683 of my captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. The audacity! There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow - but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded! The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.... for now.

A tip of the hat and a free trip around the sun to Sub_Frog!

Another free trip around the Sun! Does it GET any better than this? Oh, and.... happy birthday to SubFrog too!

Thanks... my info came from a GS crystals catalog, that showed tropic 19 replacements having IDs within .02mm of the tropic 127. Go figure!

Ahhhh, no Yokobies, but YES it's matte and flat. But no gilt.
