Are the sides of the links on gen brushed or polished. Could never find a photo that confirmed polished. Also was supposed to be waterproofed from Josh but only seem to get about half a turn in on the crown when screwing tight and no sign of rubber gaskets anywhere. Any insights? Thanks!

I am seriously considering buying Joshes Datejust II 2 tone with white face and stick markers but am concerned that the "triple wrapped .5mill gold" is not up to snuff. How good do these rep bracelets look compared to gen? I imagine they all come out of same factory in the rep world but curious about look, feel, and weight. Any insights would be appreciated. Also concerned as this watch has no white face on the 2 tone. Anyone have a good watch recommendation for this bracelet in the rep world with light face that is not a sub? Thanks!

Guys: It's been a year since I have ventured in these parts but my LV lost its pearl. Rather than replacing this, the watch has taken a beating due to homespun mods, out of control machining devices etc. Anyone know if these have improved in the last year. Looking to get a good one out of the box and not having to do mods since i screw these up. Thanks!! Also, it appears the websites have all changed or disapeared from my old "favorites" that I had. Where is Josh and Andrew and Paul???

I live in AZ and the heat can be murder on watches and glued parts if left in the car in the sun. I experienced this first hand as my Ultimate PO was left in my luggage in the trunk. I noticed the bezel insert was seperating on one pint and it will fall off. Whats the best substance to secure and any tips on applying?

Just had a long visit with an AD in Vegas today. They had an LV that I was able to try on and told me there is no longer a waiting list as Rolex is keeping them in production and was never a "limited" edition watch. Se did point out thet the GMT Pepsi was not going to be produced anymore. The watch was at "The Watch Shop" in TI (Treasre Island) This news made me step back as I always thought the LV was a limited watch. Now I am tempted to get gen "pepsi" Any thoughts?

Deltatahoe (delta pilot with a place in lake Tahoe?) Where did you get the white dial brit? Looks great. Love the strap as well.

I need to add a great rep chrono to the collection. Any opinions on which it would be? Looking for accuracy and durability I was leaning toward the SMP chrono but since I have the regular SMP, I thought it was too close.

TTK: Look for an e-mail from me as to wanting this baby.

Guys: I have 3 rep LVs and the bezel colors are all the same. This week, I saw a LV on a VERY wealthy man that I highly doubt would ever wear a rep. The problem is that it seems the watch has a much brighter, or lighter green, almost florescent. My delima is I trust this is a gen and I have never seen one at an AD. The photos of real VS. rep on the sights don't see, to show a difference in bezel color and it is never discussed as a necessary mod (always the CGs or rehaut) Can anyone comment if they think the rep bezel is not accurate? I have a Paul and Andrew rep and another. They all have the identical green color (dark green)

I got this watch from neil. the only concern I have is the noise the movement makes when I move my wrist about...very loud as the rotor moves around. Is this same as gen or should I get the thing oiled and cleaned??? Sorry i am ignorant to real terms. By the way, mine was the cheaper asian movement (black face and whited date)

Saw ladies YM mentioned. However, I bought my wife one from one of the popular dealers and was disappointed that the "Rolisium" dial is awful. The real SS version of this watch only comes with the platinum dial and their copy of this dial is not near accurate as it is more of a tannish hue and why they cant replicate the more silver color of the pltinum is beyond me. If anyone is aware of a SS ladies yachtmaster with the correct dial, let me know. I should ask. Is there any source of more accurate ladies dials for these???

Can you explain the locktight proceedure on the HE valve? Also, I got my UPO from Josh and so far so good, but I was wondering how good the crystal is sealed on these? Thanks!

This is the one I was refering to..........also like the yellow stitch version w/ ss bezel

I saw a great watch on Flaver Flav's signature pic and found out it was an ebel 1911 btr. I then noticed no dealers offer ebel watches? What up wit dat?

Thanks Usil. That is what I needed to know. With this enlightenment, what is the best way to seal or lock this baby so there is no seapage to case??
