Very nice synopsis of the screw variations. I guess I never have surmised the different variations all in one place, so to speak. Awesome!

Hmmm...which one today?
 

You gents crack me up!!!

-From your best friend

Happy Birthday!!

I still have some of Paul's handwritten happy birthday cards somewhere... Along with a few Abay watches

Original parts intact! Extra case laying around meant: let's customize this beast!!

Black case changes this 43mm beast. It's quite thin though for a tool watch so it appears & wears very elegantly.

Anyhow, this is a damn nice watch!!

It started out as a Marlin Roadster I built from a kit when I was a teenager. Over the years I've bolted new bits on when old bits broke or I found something better. Currently it runs an Alfa Romeo 2.0 twin cam, 5 speed, maybe Fiat, maybe not. I can't remember and a Toyota Celica back axle. If I nail the pedal from a standing start it usually just swaps ends, which never grows old.
 
If I aim the hosepipe at it, it makes a pretty good Sunday lunch car, I've had it at track days, swap the tyres and I can go trailing in it, I drive it around the fields all the time and when I was younger and even dafter, I used to commute in it.

Remember: It's not your car unless you've had it in bits all over the shed floor

That's serious Alaskan King Crab right there... And appreciating at a crazy rate nowadays too! What a great simple beast!

What a delight to see, Ubi!

Marathon Day

Happy Birthday!!! Kampai brother!!

Never had any issues with DHL! Love the fast delivery times.

The one on the right found its way onto my wrist today. I didn't put up a fight, I let it slide up onto my wrist sans struggle

Cool original early 60s Navitimer strap, too. Makes it look like an AOPA advertisement poster model

The one with the rubber strap today

Looks nice. One big thing I've noticed with vintage reps versus genuine vintage Rolex are the edges of the lugs... Reps have sharp as hell edges on the lugs. No vintage piece ever does unless it's totally NOS unworn.

Wearing it but wish I could find a replacement crown stem for the Mystery V23 DW Copy Mov't

Thank you! Been thinking of a 911 for a while... The timing just seemed right.

 

The decision came down to a 997.2 and an early 991.1; ultimately went with the 997.2, keeping with a more analog experience but with the reliability of the 9A1 and I also wanted PDK. Plus, I can fit the kids in the back seat 

 

 

 

Excellent choice! Coming from a maniac watch collector, the 997 has perfect proportions!

It's amazing how it can be used daily, trunk space, rear seats in a pinch (or for kids)... It's the perfect daily driver. And yes, the saying is somewhat of a cliché but life is toooo short to drive a boring car

It won't be your last (or only) 911!

Cheers ol' pal

The old Lava matched the gauges!

Spent a few months looking for a 997.2 and finally picked one up this past December. Pardon the bad cell phone pic...
 

Something a little different today...

The sizing/proportions are perfect for me. Kinda magical actually.
