  1. I think you did a damn fine job! Wear it well buddy!
  2. Some pretty impressive prototypes here!
  3. Probably not, USPS doesnt scan internation parcels except for customs. Unless you friend used express/EMS. If he did then the next scan it will probably get is "delivered"!
  4. PBDad said the bezel construction is gen construction but he didn't say if he has tried gen parts/insert.
  5. The dealers also have the black bezel insert model with superlume w/no rehaut engraving but from the pics it looks to be wokky too?
  6. Nice! Where are you? I see it's water resistant!
  7. Yep, that's the one I'm asking about. Thanks for posting the link, for some reason I couldn't copy/paste anything from Josh's site? I thought it looked a little wokky but wanted some other members to look at also. Thanks for the help so far!
  8. On Perfect Clones it's the new 16710 GMT Master II "Ultimate version" with superlume. For some reason I can't copy and paste from his website??
  9. I'm wanting to pick up a GMT Master II (non-ceramic) with coke or pepsi bezel. The newest models from the TD's finally have superlume which is what I've been waiting for. But my question is.....How are they? I would love to see some real world owner pics of one of the new sapphire crystal models. Or any of the Rolex masters who have looked at the pics of the newest superlumed offerings to tell me what flaws they see. Thanks for help in advance, Duke1973
  10. this is the WORST time of year for shipping international..... It could take days or weeks depending on customs. Nothing you can do but wait it out,
  11. the crown guards and pearl DO look better on these! Too bad about the hands....

    That's a beauty! The now extinct Super Sea Dweller! Awesome watches, hang on to it...
  13. Kudos to you Highhoey! You have awesome dedication to keep this thing going for yourself and all of us! As already mentioned, when this project is completed it will be EPIC!! Thanks again for all your hard work!
  14. It's only gonna get worse fellas..... I just retired (I say that because I went back to my old profession before the crap hit the fan) from the USPS after almost 8 years of working as a city carrier, sorting and distribution manager, and maintenance. The hatchet is gonna fall really soon and the good ole USPS ain't going to worth a $hit I'm afriad. The politicians are running the post office and they want to privitize it like UPS/Fed Ex so they can make loads of money. It used to be customers came first and nothing was more important than getting all the mail delivered as quick as possible. Now it's all about part time workers, no guaranteed hours, usually working 16 to 25 hrs a week. They wonder why they can't keep employees?? The average length of employment for the USPS new hires is less than year right now when it used to be employees stayed on till they retired. They are in the process of pulling employees out of the federal retirement system, the federal thrift savings plan, dropping federal healthcare for a new postal health insurance plan. Adding a crappy 401k retirement plan and no new employee will ever be guaranteed 40 hrs a week.
  15. Is that Yuki"s website?
  16. Silix has always been top notch when I've ordered from them! I don't know why my post has a line through it?? Stuck button on the keyboard I guess??
  17. It's a pretty decent watch, go ahead and get it. The rehaut is fine, the pearl needs swapped out with an aftermarket and the crown guards need trimmed. If you want to add a gen crown and clarks tube that will really make it. The bracelet is actually a submariner bracelet with the half link at the clasp that the Sea Dweller doesn't have and it's kinda crappy. You can get a "TC Sea Dweller bracelet" to complete the package. I have 2 of these SD's with the above mentioned mods done and IMO thay look pretty dang good!
  18. absolutely stunning! Congrats! The watch you built here is exactly what I would want on a TC sub. With TC's excellent sub as a base, adding a few gen parts can make it perfect IMO.
  19. Stunning combo! Awesome looking 1675.
  20. the things some people think look good??
  21. Try Gary Cloner, "Katt's Watch Repair" he's a trusted US watchsmith on RG or RWI and I've used him 4 times with excellent results every time. He also has a very fast turn around time too, less than a week in my experiences...
