  1. Nice! I can see the ocean from my window too, but my sea is frozen at the moment. No Surfing For You!
  2. Nawwwwww, that's not super hot. THIS is Super Hot...
  3. In the spirit of Euno's Three Amigos, from left to right the Little Gonzo, Big Gonzo, Phrosty Phlake, and Double Red Diving Hood.
  4. Welcome! It is always nice to have new members. Your introduction sounds a little like an advertisement for straps and leather goods in certain widths for certain watches. We will extend you the courtesy of an open welcome, we are all friends here. But we encourage you to be honest in your sales. We have several people here making straps and they are very welcome. Please tell us more about yourself, and if you're interested in selling please take a look at our Sales area and our Classified Ads area. Good quality straps are always welcome, and we buy and sell them openly and honestly.
  5. Sorry, I was replying to Sogeha's comment about German kinder. :-) I know what you mean about "keepers" in the collection for the kids. I've got a few that my kids will hopefully be able to use to make significant down payments on first homes and such.
  6. Do I smell a 100 watch photo spread coming up?
  7. See the size difference in the hours hands? If you can, broach half the difference in the hand, and remove the other half difference from the hours wheel hand seat.
  8. Out my front door, we'll have alpenglow in half an hour
  9. Hey we're talking boobies in here!
  10. Darn tootin! If a watch can get eaten by a bear and pooped out and still keep running, it "passes"
  11. Hey don't knock the Subpaaariner, it was the basis for my "How tough is a rep Submariner?" test, lo those many moons ago.
  12. Don't believe everything you read... that 6541 Milgauss is faker than a fake thing. But what great news about potential tropic 38 crystals!
  13. Great to see you M! Get that PM box cleaned out and dust off your dancing shoes... there's a lot going on!
  14. A good machinist would be able to increase the diameter of the dial seat beneath the rehaut, so you have to remove less from the dial. And years ago member Donerix did a tutorial on modifying a dial opening to enlarge it, by sanding back the rehaut. Those together plus some judicious sanding, ought to get that dial to fit. But if you mount the dial to an ETA movement with dots (after cutting off the feet) you might need to machine the dial seat anyway to reduce the stem height. You can do both at the same time. Compare the post sizes for 1570/1520/1530/1560 movements vs. ETA and you might find a little broaching or staking will make them work. I did that for my Big Gonzo, the only real problem was the amount that had to come off the hours hand. Machining down the hands seat on the hours wheel helped. There's more than one road to Rome..............
  15. *GROOOOAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN* Ba-da-bum! Psssshhhhhhhh (rimshot!)
  16. Dare I say it...................... USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION! Hah, welcome back old timer! Glad to see you darkening our door again.
  17. Thanks for the update, I was talking to the boss about this yesterday.
  18. Hey Euno... good to see you! Member number 343 !! Who can beat that?
  19. Yeah d-dog, speaking of the RWG ring, do you still have that Ken's Left Nut © I traded to you? You should hang onto it, it's one of the very first times I traded one.
