    Wow where have I been… I wasn’t very active on the forums for a couple years and I am just seeing this now. He was a great man.  I sold him my old super patina distressed Comex 5514 build many many years ago. I didn’t even want to sell it but after I posted pics of it on the forum, he fell in love with it and wanted it. I couldn’t say no.  I am so sorry for your loss. RIP. 

    Feel he same way brother.

    Hello all. My name is David, I’m Nanuqs son.
     
    He told me a lot about his friends on the watch forum, so I thought it would be appropriate to post this here
     
    Unfortunately Bob passed away on Monday due to complications from heart failure.
     
    He loved this group, or all of the forums he was a part of, and I’m going to post this on all the watch forums he has on his Tapatalk app
     
    My Dad was an incredible man, and watches and watch collecting was probably his favorite hobby.
     
    I’m currently wearing one that he made for me, probably with help from people here default_smile.png
     
    Bob did not suffer in the end, and his passing was peaceful and surrounded by loved ones.
     
    I just wanted to let his possible friends know that they were appreciated, and I didn’t want people to wonder why he went radio silent
     
    Thank you guys for being his friends. It’s brings me and my family a lot of comfort

    I haven’t been in the forum in a while. Reading this made me tear up. Your dad was an asset in many ways to everyone he knew. Always an incredible source of all good human qualities and a great mentor for most of us. Lovely sense of humor as well.

    My deepest condolences to you and your family. I am glad his passing was a peaceful one, though he will be missed.

  14. TC to 16800

    If I buy the jf case and I remove the rehaut, I have a 16800 no?
    But my question is... The holes will do in the right position? And not more up or left.. Etc...

    No, you’ll have a case you can’t use with your current dial and movement.

    A modder in germany from a other forum!

    Yes you can make the same with the jf submariner!

    He has in over 10 watches drilled lugs ! I have a watch smith too but he can the wrong chinese lug size make to to real only (but with no lugs in case the other guy makes this for me)!

    Yes a TC or JF case with drilled lugs are a 16610 woth lugs,because the rehaut is to big,you can mod this or take the startime case for a 16800!

    Starting hasn’t had the 16800/3035 cases in a few years. Very hard to find.

  15. Submariner cases 16610 & 16610LV no longer available?

    I always try Point out to people the differences between wants and needs and what reality is. I’m the [censored] of the family so that makes it easier. At 17 walking about with a seemingly expensive watch is asking for the kid to get jacked, particularly if it’s just for the bling aspect. A nice G-shock will always do better as well as be more practical. Heck I have a few of them including my first g-shock that is going on 30+ years now and have only had to change the battery twice. The plastic disintegrated a long time ago but I keep it just because. First g-shock I ever had and it was also my watch for first year of military school. Lots of fond memories.

    Just saying.

    @ephry73 I will take your advice and let the TC case be what it is.
    I will have the lugs drilled and y serial numbers engraved and leave the rest as is..

    Right on. If Neckyzips is still around he does amazing pantograph work.

    ST3035 case vs TC V2 case(rehaut engravings buffed out) and a BP 16660 for comparison. The ST3035 is my 16800 rendition. I wear it on a 93250 bracelet for daily wear and have a decent 93150 for those days I want more accuracy and rattle lol.
    As you can see there is a difference in the angle and depth of the rehaut. Subtle, but it’s there.

    The rehaut depth will drive you nuts once you make all the changes. Trust me. Been there done that. Let the TC case be what it is and do it right, or drill holes and make it a proper 16610 with lug holes. But a 16800 needs the thinner shallow rehaut.
