Nanuq

Hey, dadog! Great to see you around! Take a look at archive.org, it's the Internet Wayback Machine and it has screens from TRC, way back in the day, with a lot of familiar names. Good times.

Badass

Thanks, it came like that. I have to admit I bought it assembled. But I did have it apart last night, and was slightly mystified about reassembling the rascal... it doesn't go together like a Rolex case. The list of ingredients from the seller tell me it's a 39mm dial painted by black_shark on RWI. I saw the Rolerai dial on HF that Albatross picked up... it's even nicer.

Here's dipping my toe in this pool for the first time.

In the category of Most Amazing Noob Moderators I nominate Kernow and Sogeha!

Where's the category for Angry Scotsman Scammer Destroyer? Of course that would be nikki6, the board bawbag.

No, my award is that I get to start acting old and senile and not really "get it" that using this avatar every time I write about nikki6 is somehow wrong. Pfffffft!!

You have the right idea, but the wrong approach. You need a Watch Repository.

"Lovely, dark and deep".

"Does not indulge in alcohol" sounds mysteriously like "that leaves more for Nanuq"

Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to announce the newest member of the RWG Moderating staff! We spent many an hour around the fireplace sipping fine single malt, bandying about the possibility that the new guy would keep the liquor cabinet and cigar humidor locations secret. In the end the vote was enthusiastic and unanimous, so without further ado.... may I announce: SOGEHA as the newest member of our staff. It's a lot of work, and we're sure he's equal to the task. So please join us in welcoming him "aboard".

I'm thinking the sheet would spread out the stress too. You could even add a second layer if you wrapped it tight enough. Not quite foil thin but close.

Wrap some extremely thin brass sheet around it where it broke, heat it, add a tiny drop of solder and let capillary attraction draw the solder into the joint. Then send it to me.

Eeeeek!!

Heresy!! Next time just send the old chronos to me.
