  1. I wish they would have fixed the 3 o'clock subdial with misaligned 10 and 20. I was at and AD over the weekend and heard a salesperson give a speech why someone should never purchase a watch outside of an AD. She gave the example of the HBB. Said that it as so accurate that 99% of people wouldn't notice, but if you know what to look for, it is easy to spot. That being said, I would have purchased another one if this problem had been fixed or if they had made the ceramic bracelet. AD charging $2300 (discounted rate) for the genuine.
  2. Here ya go...you can compare it to mine. Hope it helps. EDIT: BTW, caseback is solid.
  3. I think you might also want to check if there is a special adapter/spacer needed for your Jeep. If they are not settling on the correct angle, no matter how you balance/align your wheels your gonna get a shimmy.
  4. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!! STOP CRYING ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. Chad, Like Kint said.....you need to chill out. EL is a dropshipper. His main line of work is not selling reps so e-mailing him every single day will not get you your watch any faster. I agree with you that his after sale communication is lacking, but you will get your watches in the end. Some of my stuff came within 4 days of payment, but others took over 3 weeks. For the veterans of this hobby, 2-3 weeks is nothing.....
  6. Great tutorials....you shall see the fruits of your works tonight!!! I hope I don't mess em up
  7. If you are going to do the cannon pin fix and relume, Eddie Lee (999unicorn) has the best watch. It is a bit pricey, but after the mods a little more accurate than Davidsens. However, Davidsens is the best "out of the box" Fiddy.
  8. The stainless steel bracelet from the AD is $800 list price so it would definitely be worth repping. Supposedly there are multiple size rubber straps, but if the gen copy is from an Asian AD, then it may have the smaller size as most Asians typically have smaller wrists. I'm not sure about the Costeau's hour markers, but on my regular aquatimer, they seem to be much more reflective (almost shiny). I will try to take some photos tonight to see if I can get a comparison. BTW, I shoot using my wife's camera (Can 5D), but don't know how to use any setting except auto....so if anyone can send me some PMs on how to take clear pictures I would appreciate it. I can't control the AF points so they always focus in on a single area leaving the rest blurry.
  9. I hope his long awaited dream of whorehouses aren't filled with these "girls"............

    Just wear it a bit loose and higher up on your arm a bit....it helps relieve the "digging".
  11. Dammit!!! EL was one of the best out there. I bought the majority of my watches through him and they are the cream of the crop.
  12. Is anyone carrying the 2892s??? It seems like all the dealers our out of these......
  13. From previous business experiences you can expect a shutdown of at least 1 week. Our factories in China actually close for 10-14 days......
