  1. Not sure if it's the angle but the 6 marker looks off a tad, maybe just the light? Apart from that little thing this one looks awesome nice pearl too btw !
  2. Some great ideas for you so far, if it was me I'd want to keep it simple but with some impact too does she drive? If so how about leaving the watch on the steering wheel of the car so when she gets in it's waiting for her
  3. Will be sad to see him go, but even the best have to throw the towel in sometime, I'm sure he will be tinkering in retirement to some degree Never had the pleasure of dealing with the man but from what I've seen his work is absolutely first rate, all the best and good luck to you Ziggy @ MD - I'm sure plenty of us will be asking to use your services mate
  4. Not strictly a wristie but hey it's Friday
  5. I can't see the comments either mate? Not sure why though
  6. 029 all the way M you won't regret it mate and it'll look great next to that Transocean in the box
  7. Looks really good Asci, love the SD is that the bracelet it came with mate?
  8. Great advice if you have forced in the screws you may have stripped the threads mate
  9. No worries mate I'll give it a try for you I'm sure there is a how to somewhere here for this but this is what I do The easy way.......You'll need some 'White Lightning' or 'Rock n Roll' I think it's called, basically a bike chain lube which you can pick up at most bike stores, the one I have says it's got 'Cerflon' in it but basically it's a wax product suspended with another chemical that leaves a dry wax coating on metal as it dries ! Bored yet? No well next you need a medium sandwich type bag and the bracelet of your choice (easier when it's off the watch)............................... .............And then I thought I'd try a quick forum search and voila........here's the guide I used to help me from the start.......http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/93590-bracelet-rattle-fix/?view=findpost&p=881788&hl=%2Bwhite+%2Blightning The hard way.....with much better results comes from sanding down and reshaping the bracelet then carrying out the bracelet clean and lube, link with some after pics here http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/145825-my-new-keeper-ingy/?view=findpost&p=1120904&hl=%2Bingy Hope this helps guys Now have a go yourself and enjoy the nice comfy feeling of a new bracelet after you do it
  10. You didn't cook it did ya we need some pics please !
  11. That's the stuff White lightning 'clean ride' (she said ) is awesome stuff, if you want some help with how it's done drop me a pm mate! Not sure on the peanut or Virgin oil haven't tried a virgin for a loooong while
  12. Those pics look really good cougar1, reckon they have done a great job with the pearl and the insert looks good too I'm sure we will pick the crap out of it though I'll still be getting one !
  13. Not for me mate but hey each to their own
  14. Every single bracelet I get including Gens gets the full bracelet treatment feels better lubed up mate
  15. There's no right way to deal with the sales threads atm until Paypal or something very similar is up and running so that members can easily upgrade and pay their subs in, I'm damn sure that admin are trying their very best to sort this out, after all it's them that are losing money here not the membership. I agree with any business that runs itself for it's honest clientele, you will always have an element of scammers etc but generally they don't last long here and they don't cause too much grief for the membership as a whole as they are outed fairly quickly, that said when a noob member gets fucked over it gets my gut going, older members should really know better than do a deal with someone who is offering something that is to good to be true and I consider myself a noob too! As for ways to solve the dodgy sales etc, a couple that have been tossed around that I think made sense For members that were Platinum/ViP before the PP issues came up and only yearly subs members, reinstate them as such until they can sort out Payza payment, give them 3 mth grace. Minimum post counts, I think if we had a count of say 10 before a noob can even view the trade sections and 100 before they can sell anything, unless of course they Pay to upgrade via Payza. These couple of measures I think would help, but in all honesty you still won't stop all the scammers, they are motivated by one thing and that is parting you from your hard earned for bugger all in return Tread your own path............. Edit: To add that when I first joined I did so because I loved the place, great people abound with a wealth of knowledge of horology that is hard to beat, I was not in it to buy a watch from the forum but to gather the knowledge I needed to buy a decent rep watch, which incidently led me to buy a Gen instead (to many dodgy reps!) but my point is that my first purchase was from a Trusted Dealer....not from the boards
  16. Saying what needs to be said that's all mate I for one am sick of seeing people get scammed atm !
  17. @ legend - I reckon he gets the message though mate
