OK, will do. Thanks Ryaku. - J

Please let me know

OK Mr. Donerix, I've had enough of this. If that beauty is ever on the auction block, I call first dibs! Arg.... why..?

Thanks Tex. I am looking for some parts for my Slevin. Probably dial, hands, rubber strap, movement. I am not worried about a long wait. Talk to you soon. - J Sent from my BB

Anyone have one for sale? thank you - J

I too would love to build one. Anyone know of a good case with crown guard and the bakelite bezel other than tudor? Maybe some Rollie model I'm not aware of. I am thinking of having one drilled for the pushers if I can locate one for less than Yuki's case ($). thank you - J

Folks, I haven't dealt with Texski in the past so don't have his email. However, his text messages box in here on RWG is not allowing me to send to him. If anyone is able to contact him, would you please let him know that I would like to ask him some questions. thank you - J

OK, the round B&R is making me drool. Talk about outspoken class. - J

I took this crappy picture at the Jeweler with my cell phone. The picture sucks, but I'm told the DJ is about 7 years old and has had a cleaning, but not full service. I tapped my fingernail on the crystal and it does in fact seem to be crystal not plastic. Note the spread on the jubilee. Again, I know nothing about jubilees, but it seems very sloppy to me. Anyone here able to point out any flaws which may identify this as a gen or rep? If I decide to go with it, I'll of course have them open it to show me the movement. Any other comments? thank you - J

Come on in, the water's fine. There are a lot of smart dudes (dudette's too maybe?) here who are generous and helpful. Also, for comedic relief, either Zeleni or I am drunk on any given night. Try the roast beef; tip your waitress! I'm here all week. Sent from my BB

Most excellent! I'll be looking forward to following you. I've been meaning to start it, but a pesky, neverending home remodel keeps getting in the way. And of course, upper management (lovely wife) is less than indifferent to my hobby needs until the remodel is finished. I tried explaining, but women have no sense of priorities! What about MY needs?... ThatKs what I'm saying. Can I get an Amen? Sent from my BB

Sorry, screwed up. Was reading on a craptastic BB phone and missed the subdial. Throw the rotten vegetables, I deserve it.

I have an opportunity to pick up a Datejust two-tone with dark grey dial and jubillee bracelet. The local jeweler is asking $1200 for this used watch. I love the head, but the jubillee is crappy feeling to me me, tinny and loose so I'd probably replace it with a nice strap. Anyone have an idea if this sounds like a decent deal?

I just killed an hour with a big grin. Also, the change for a dollar movie made me call my folks and siblings to let them know I love them.

The rep has no subdial while all the gens, of any model on their website have one. Seems the biggest problem to me. Sent from my BB

JMB on these fora is a modder who has milling capabilities. He is a Tudor afficianado, but maybe you can get him work on that beauty for you. Awesome piece, by the way. Sent from my BB

Thanks Chiman. Do you know the angular difference? Are the pushers, say +/- 20 degrees on the 7733 and +/- 22 degrees on the 7750? Or maybe something odd like +21/-24 degrees? Finally, would this matter since the pushers aren't directly connected to the movement, but push on a surface and appears to be a 'rough' match to where the movement pins are.

Anyone know if that Daytona case has a removable bezel? I like the case, but prefer the black insert bezel as on a 9420.

Could this not be replicated exactly with the 'custom' assembly from the H fact reps? Sent from my BB

Tex, I'm trying to PM you but it reports your InBox as full. Could you PM when you get a chance? Thank you - J Sent from my Android

Joe, did you find out about the strap yet? Can Angus source them? I've got my zig lumed Slevin on a bracelet but am thinking about trying it on rubber as well. -J Sent from my BB

'Cost of a gen' above should read 'cost of a rep'. Danke - J Sent from my BB

Thinking of having one built for my German brother-in-law, a hell of a chap. Could amyome estimaet the cost of a gen with reasonable mods and the cost of a franken? Thanks - J

What also floats?
