I like that, too, but the big turn off for me is that "Oyster Perpetual Date" under the Rolex label! It's suppose to say just "Oyster Perpetual"!

Good luck!

Contact Joshua, I get parts from him for my ROOs!

For a good Daytona... My advice is to build one using genuine parts and an El Primero 400. That's the path I took...

It's an expensive project to endure, but the end results are worthwhile (in my opinion).

Only the best.........and it shows! Love your Tonas, my friend!

Gorilla Glue!

The new vintage rolex submariner/sea dweller series rep from trustywatchguy is a big step up in quality and a very reasonable price made with the new 316f higher grade stainless steel it has a very solid feel to it, case finish is superb with eta 2836-2 or asian eta option.

The acylic crystal is a very thick superdome type which magnifies the matt comex dial ,the bezel is one of the thickest i have seen on a vintage rep giving the watch a unique profile it turns smoothly without any play the semi matt bezel insert is great with a flat pearl that should stay put.

the crown and tube is of a thick type like on a gen turns/winds the watch silently and very precise again one of the best i have seen.

the backcase is a very thick type and well engraved with the comex/rolex logos.

the helium escape valve is a dummy but can be drilled out and have a yukiwatch escape valve fitted

Overall this is a heavy solid watch mabe the new 316f steel is a bit too bright for a vintage watch but this can be toned down with a combination of rubbing the case with steelwool and polish it upto the required shine

this watch would be great left as it is or would make a great project possibly by fitting a gen rolex movement or mabe fitting an older slower beat eta movement mabe a 2783/4 from a 70s watch i have one fitted to my 5513 which may become a tudor sub in the near future but thats another story(staytuned) aeromatic!

FYI!

DON'T Get it WET or Dunk in water! I broke the Cardinal Sin......Since the Dealer claimed it's Water Resistant......don't assume it is!!!

Here's my Comex 1685 with same case or build as yours, this from Joshua.....after I dunk it in a bowl of water to clean it:

Sorry for the Pix.....I took without aadjusting the WB!

I applied grease to all the rubbere o-rings.....but guess where the water got thru?????????

the crystal!

Here it is after I sealed the crystal and did some Bastardizing (waiting for new movement......the original died after the water bath !):

NOBODY'S wrong here!!! Try everything said and find your comfort zone! Go to A fitness store and try everything you see.....and settle with the machine you're most comfortable with! Don't get the top of the line or the ones with the most electronice gizmos,,,,,they don't matter!

Other than that.....cut down on your food intake and just move......walk, take the stairs, run when you can, bike......don;t take the escalator, the elevator if jst going up/down 4 floors! you have to include lifting weights koz it helps and important as you grow older and if you have kids!

and lastly! MAKE THIS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE! WORKING OUT SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR LIFE! GIVE YOURSELF AT LEAST AN HOUR A DAY! MORE THE BETTER! FORGET THE ADDITIVES....EXCEPT MULTI VITAMINS, VIT D, FISH OIL AND CQ1O! THESE HAVE BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN! THE REST ARE JUST SNAKE OIL!!!!

I have a small gym at home with weights, a Nordic track and a Threadmill and I'm a GYM member! I also have a few Mountain bikes and a cross country ski!

I made my lifestyle change when I turned 27! I'm turning 55 this year with 118/70 BP......I do everything I mentioned! I lift weights 3x/week...benching 225lbs! I do at least one adventure a year...climb at least 1 mountain and a class V white rafting trip and a scuba dive if I can! Spend a few camping trips with the family in the summer or a backpacking trip somewhere!

I still dream of climbing Mt. Everest or the other 7 summits! As they say in the US Air Force........AIM HIGH!

GOOD LUCK SAMMY! AND STAY HEALTHY AND PROSPER!

Hike

and it's a Chrono !

Dude, you're quick !

I ordered 4 from Josh last week....got it today in two separate boxes!!!! 2 in each!!!!

Show us some pictures!

Here's some of mine:

Ohhhhhh! Good pick there, Sir Nanuq! Good choice.....Hope Red's Fiancee would likey it!

Have you checked the MIO heart rate monitor watches.......they do quadruple duties in the gym and some of them are water-resistant to 50meters+!

I think that would be perfect for her as a gym/pool watch!

Hey F!...nicely done...that watch matches perfectly with your signature...nice coordination...

Cheers hackR.....You still got yours?

STUNNING!!!

The '12' and '6' are actually on the underside of the sapphire! Pretty cool, eh?

The multi-plane surface dial really gives this one a lot of depth. It's a very cool piece (and I especially like it on the G10, as Hike has his )...

Thanks Guys! and Chief's AR just make it more stunning!

I'm gonna hack with the hackr - Chopard for me, too!

oooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh........aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........yum-yum!

Damn, Brah....now you make me look small! I thought 2500 was a milestone........shoot, now it's nothin......I have to stay here another 10 years! O gaaaaaaadddd!

Congrats, Bud! You're #1 in my BOOK!

as Randy would say in American Idol!

I haven't seen a Cali in a while I have plans

Thanks T! Took me awhile to develop some love for this watch...but finally it's kicking. I'm amazed everyday

on the beauty of the simplicity of the watch!

Hike
