Very nice.

I bought one of the wrenches, but as scoobs said, a wad of duct tape works just fine.

Nice!!

Thanks Steve.

I have a sapphire crystal coming from DSN. He sells single AR and no AR. I opted for no AR thinking I would send it to one of our AR guys and get a quality single side application. Then I started thinking, is this even correct for a 111h? Anyone know? Thanks, Mike

It's hard to tell from the pix, but I think the rep you are looking at has the standard Asian 7750 date wheel. The font is more rounded than the gen which uses a standard ETA 7750 date wheel...I think. . Thanks for the input.

I agree it's crap, but so is the one you link to. It's still not at all like the gen. If that's the only difference, why pay an extra $70 for something that's still incorrect? At least I hope that's the only differance. . Do you know otherwise? Besides, I have an ETA 7750 date wheel that I bought months ago to swap into an SMP chrono. If this watch turns out as I hope, I will swap into this one instead.

I have been concentrating on PAMs lately and was on silix's site checking things out when I came across this: http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1755 I was eyeing this watch several months ago, but like I said above, been doing the PAM thing, and since I seem to be unable to focus on more than one thing at a time, I kind of lost interest. That is until I saw the price of this from silix. Hope it turns out nice...I'll let you all know.

Hey Athan, Nice watch!! I bought the cheap Trusty Time version of this watch and have begun modding. My crown was the same as yours, but I was able to correct the issue by removing the crown and stem from the movement, unscrewing the crown from the stem, filing the stem a little (do this slowly and check the fit several times, you don't want to make it too short) and replacing the crown to stem and reinstalling it into the watch. It's really a pretty simple mod. A couple of pix in this post: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=76968 In the text on the above link, I said I retained the flat gasket. I have since replaced it with the other, more donut shaped gasket. Mine passed the kitchen sink test. I'm working up the nerve to try it out in the pool. The swan neck should be an easy fix. You should be able to just move it into position. If you figure out a way to clean up the blue paint, please let me know. I have the same issue. I ordered a sapphire crystal from DSN without AR. I'll one of our AR experts do a single side job for me. As soon as I can get an appointment with watchsmith, I'll get the cannon pinion fixed and super lume done. I'm still hoping V will come through with one of those awesome CG's (please...please...please ) Good luck, Mike

Hey Ken, The gay comments were from me. In my part of the world, gay is sometimes used as slang for whimpy, or lame, or weak. I realize this is not really politically correct, but it was just an attempt as light hearted humor.... LOL as I type this i am seeing a commercial on the TV for Mamma Mia the movie...I certainly wasn't intending to offend or insult anyone. But what would you expect from someone who listened to AC/DC, UFO, RUSH, Pat Travers Band, Led Zeppelin, The Scorpions...stuff like that during the 70's / early 80's. In the words of Joe Dirt, "I'm a ROCKER, through and through". OK, now you can make fun of me for being able to quote from the movie Joe Dirt!!

Sorry guys, but there are only 2 reasons why ABBA is not the gayest band of all time: 1. Village People 2. Air Supply Yes, they're even gayer than the BEE GEES!! EDIT - Damn...I forgot about WHAM and Culture Club...OK ABBA is the 5th gayest band ever!!

My #1 favorite beer is this: Wailua Wheat form the Kona Brewing Co.. It's brewed with passion fruit. But, by llsteves definition, it can no longer be considered since I can now buy it in Colorado. Up until about a year ago, it could only be had at the Kona brewery on the big island... ...So, to stay within the guidelines layed out llsteve on what a micro brew is, this would be my pick: Brewed at the Tommy Knocker brewery in the little mountain town of Idaho Springs, Colorado. They also have a nice seasonal chilli beer that goes great with a bowl of chilli (a winter favorite of mine.)

.........I guess your prayer did work......... .........The winner is Ztech!! Congratulations. I'll have Lani PM you, but I would imagine he needs your mailing address.

OK...Time's up. No more entries. I'm drawing now and will announce the winner in a minute. Drum roll please.........

Any time Bruddah.

Nope, Not too late...You're in Z. About an hour to go.

How can I pass up a deal like that? OK. About 2, maybe 2 1/2 hours from now, I'll post a message on this thread that registration is closed and draw a name from those replying in this thread. Good luck to all!! Mike

Really!!! Might as well just send it to me. I'm always up for some pretty wahine action!! (Freudian slip)

Well count me in. And let me just say, I'm proud to have been there when this idea came to you.

I pity da fool who disagrees!! B.A. Barakus will rip your F'in head off!! (Super groovy van too!!)

Yeah...It sucks...I've been getting a bunch too. Sonsabitches!!

can't wait to see the results. I'm very interested!!
