Beautiful pieces!

Another thing about the hand stack is that no gen owner even knows what it is or what you are talking about. They have no need to - it is what it is and it is a non-issue for them. So really, the only people even looking at the order of your hands are other rep guys who know enough about reps to see it. Quite frankly, that is a great opportunity to make a new friend!

Very nice job with this. It looks fantastic and really seems to be coming together nicely.

That looks really nice. I'm starting to take a liking to these vintage Daytonas.

Wow. Nice! I'm really starting to like these vintage Daytonas.

Woot woot! Looks awesome!

Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved!

Yes, I believe it applies to watches as well.

Nice way to put it. Most of us only dream of owning a gen grail like this someday. You got to live the dream, my friend!

Just go to Ebay. That Taiwan seller I mentioned has all sizes for $14.88 + $3 shipping. They look really nice in the pics.

I think you are thinking of the Cartel 1680. Those cg suck monkey balls and no matter how much you rework them, they are always going to be too short. So the more metal you take off, the shorter they become. Sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The cartel 5513 is a different case.

I was told by my ISP that ICANN changed the rules for all domains this year and now you have to physically confirm all admin details or they will block the domain until you do. I'm not sure why, and it's really easy to do it, but if his site is still up then someone did this for his site. Even if you prepay years ahead with your ISP you still have to go into the ICANN site now every year and confirm you are a live human.

Gorgeous. She was beautiful.

Here's what I'm wondering. If he's truly out of business how did his website make it past the ICANN renewal this year? My website got blocked by ICANN for a few days because I didn't realize that I actually had to physically click through and confirm my contact info even though nothing had changed. Some of my clients told me that their emails got bounced back to me. Since 2004 I never had to do that before. You only had to update the admin info if something changed.

So someone or even he himself is keeping it active.

Oh... muh...gawd! LOL! Just look at that pic. Holy crap. That is amazing.

Makes my dainty Exp1 rep look like a kiddie toy, note the gift wrapping and toy remnants in the background.

A lot of people have been mentioning that ingod is out of business, so I don't think you can plan on using that dial as an option. Sorry bud.

I can't open this. Is this the thread you are posting on all of the other boards about SSteel? You might want to ask a moderator before you do something like this...

Of course. There are tutorials that members have posted on all of the various forums on how to improve the finish on the case and bracelet. Just cleaning them makes a big difference. They are usually filthy.

There are some really nice 16mm and 18mm buckles from a seller in Taiwan. I'm picking up an 18mm for a new handmade strap in getting for my b-day. They look really nice and the price is only $16 or something.

Sweet! This is awesome. Thanks for keeping this updated. You have a great arsenal of equipment to work with. Looking forward to seeing the next stage!

Hey, that looks really nice. Good work so far. Looking forward to seeing more of this as you make progress.
