    Looks absolutely brilliant! Is the dial made of acrylic glass?

    I've bought a couple of those. Two subs (one blue and one red) and a lady's Datejust for my wife. The DJ had to be returned since the cyclops was misaligned and I've had to buy a new red sub, because of my own stupidity (took it apart without the proper instruments, and broke the second hand). The blue sub is now my daily beater. It works great and if you can accept the misalignment of the rehaut engraving, too little magnification of the cyclops, that the blue is too purple (which I like, btw) and all the other minor errors, it's a great watch. I enjoy wearing it very much. The subs are only $29.99 each, which make them a real bargain. Plus Michelle (who works there) is great to deal with.

    Yes, it seems that way when I'm looking at my gen Datejust. Would make sense too, since the cyclops is symmetrical.
  7. rosamannen
    So, the Lady's DateJust has arrived in Chine, and Michelle has taken notice of the cyclops problem. That's good. I changed the cyclops for one from Esslinger. See if you can spot the difference... Before: After: That's right. Virtually no difference at all... Perhaps the Esslinger cyclops doesn't have correct magnification after all. Well, looks like I have to search elsewhere.

    The upside of having an empty case to play with is that I have now submerged the crystal in chemically pure gasoline to dissolve the cyclops adhesive. If all goes well, I'll install that crystal in the blue sub and attach a cyclops from Esslinger, which would give me correct magnification of the date. And no, I won't do anything to the movement.

    First I was like And then I was like Well, goes to show what happens when you lack skill as well as proper tools. I thought I'd be really clever and realign the datewheel on the red sub. Now the red sub is gone. Since I didn't have the right tools, it turned out that I broke the second hand when trying to remove it. So... I tried to glue it back. That worked. For a while. Until the second hand got stuck in the minute hand. Then it all just went wrong. I tried again, but used too much glue, so the second and minute hands were stuck together. Then, when trying to remove some of the excess glue with a needle, I naturally scratched the dial. That's when I gave up and tossed the hands, dial and movement. So now I've got this great looking sub case with red bezel and nothing in it.

    Hi, Does anybody here have any experience with the Midsize Submariner from Timesshop? http://www.timesshop...id_product=6614 My son (8yo) is absolutely crazy about my sub reps, so I thought I might get him one of his own. I know there's no gen version of it, but I think it would look really cool on his wrist, even though he's a small kid for his age. Anyone? Edit: Here's a ladies version, that might fit him even better. http://www.timesshop.net/product.php?id_product=2045

    You're absolutely right. Thanks for pointing it out. It was still visible at the bottom of the post. Now I've removed it from my attachments, so it shouldn't be visible anymore. Thanks! Yes it is. It's the one I wear the most.
  12. rosamannen
    Oh yes! I'm thrilled. This is fun and exciting. I can't wait to open my first caseback. I'll probably start with the Colamariner, since the datewheel is slightly misaligned.

    Thanks to Ken who kindly removed my attached image, portraying the customs declaration. Won't happen again. Sooo... Being slightly annoyed with the lack of date magnification, I decided to take the leap and become a modder. I found this - http://www.esslinger...magnifiers.aspx - and swiftly ordered five of them. 7x5.5mm seems about right, so that's what I've ordered. Let's just hope that the magnification is better. I'll keep you posted. Now I just have to wait for the package to arrive. And of course I ordered watch crystal glue as well. On another note: I've returned the Lady's DJ to Silix. The package is currently at the international terminal in China for sorting.
  14. rosamannen
    Thanks! I don't think it's anymore based on a gen than any other rep. It's basically identical to the blue one, and at $29.99 it's quite cheap as well.

    Update: Silix have offered to replace the datejust without any trouble whatsoever, as you would expect from a trusted dealer. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
