Since I first started collecting reps many moons ago, I have lusted after this watch but have yet to find it from any of the reputable dealers. All of the scam sites list it but I won't buy from them. Can someone please help me source this watch? I have reached out to Joshua and Andrew to see if they can get it for me. Haven't bought any new pieces or been on the board for awhile, so don't light me up for missing something obvious.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Haven't posted in awhile, but I'm still enjoying my beauties.

Have an older orange PO from Silix with ETA movement that recently crapped after a couple years of reliable service. Sent it back for repair. Got it back and wore it for a couple weeks and it stopped one morning at 10:45 a.m. A little while later, it had started back up by itself. Two days later, it stopped again at 10:45 a.m. oddly enough. Started playing with it later that day, shook it a bit and it started back up for about 15 minutes. Stopped again and won't rescuscitate. It is fully wound so don't ask the obvious question. Opened the caseback just to make sure there wasn't a dead squirrel in the gears. Thought about giving it a squirt of WD-40. (Kidding)

Any ideas on an easy fix?

Thanks guys.

Been out of the loop for awhile and was looking for King's site. Searched the board but didn't find any recent threads. Forgive my not keeping up with things recently. Any info would be appreciated.

I'm wearing the DRSD on the left today, but I think both of these will be dominating the rotation this week. My newest acquisitions ...

Am I the only one using my watch as a penis ring????

I thought about doing that, but I would have had to buy extra links ...

Anybody have a good online source for these. I got a couple of the Vintage NOS lume dots from the guy on ebay and they're very nice, but they don't appear to be the correct ones for modern subs. Looking for a good aftermarket source.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Paul

Just wanted to share the newest additions to the family - a DRSD from Mrs. King partially modded by yours truly (my first dial relume) and an SD from maxmsu, which I just received Friday. It's funny how RWG influences your preferences. When I first got into reps and found RWG, I had no desire to own a sub. Just didn't think it was a very attractive watch. Now I have seven!!! You guys are killing me!!! lol

Enjoy.

Read this thread before you continue down this path. I wish you luck if decide to continue your attempts - Cheers

Thread on why not to attempt removal of LV bezel

Thanks. Wish I had seen that thread before I stood on that thing. Now, what used to me one of my nicest-clicking bezels is bent and barely turns at all. Argghh.

I'm not hip enough to post an mp3. I'm old school, man. I'm playing blues music that was recorded 50 years ago. And the only thing I shred are my bank statements.

hey blues man love that fender half stack !

hows the sound ? i my self play thru a marshal ! ..

great set up .. how about a lil hendrix redhouse !!!

It's a 63 Band Master that I completely restored and built a cabinet for to Fender specs. Put 2 Jensen vintage 40-watt 12s in it. It kicks ass, man. That genuine old honkin' bluesy tone with no pedals required. I use a Fender spring reverb unit with it because the amp itself has none. Rock on!

OK, this is kind of twisted. As long as I can remember, I have removed all my jewelry during sex, but now I'm kind of enjoying looking at one of my favorite reps while I'm taking care of business. Have I completely lost it?

Gentlemen, your thoughts ... :cc_confused:

Not sure how this happened, but I recently acquired a taste for the Sea Dweller. (Hanging around you guys too much, I suspect.) Anyway, here are a couple of recent acquisitions for your visual enjoyment.

On the left is a DRSD from Mrs. King modded by yours truly. Still awaiting a better bezel insert, although you'll notice the vintage NOS pearl. You may also notice this watch came with a silver datewheel. Relumed the dial (my first), rounded and polished all edges and carved the CGs to look like the skinny ones I've seen on some of the older DRSDs. Considering taking the plunge on a gen superdome and still have to drill the lug holes to 2mm.

On the right is a very sweet modern SD from maxmsu, which I just received yesterday. It's funny how RWG influences your preferences. When I first got into reps and found RWG, I had no desire to own a sub. Just didn't think it was a very attractive watch. Now I have seven!!! You guys are killing me!!! lol

Found some nice NOS vintage pearls recently on ebay, but I'm looking for a source for the modern inserts. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

BP

I am trying to replace the bezel insert on my LV sub from Andrew. I have done numerous insert replacements on other watches with no trouble at all, but the bezel on this watch won't budge. Broke two utility knife blades trying to flip it off using the usual method. Don't want to drop big $$$ on a bezel removal tool. Any suggestions / tricks from the old hands out there?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks Nanuq.

The crusty old vintage SDs have a hemispherical acrylic "pearl" glued into the insert. The newer SDs are the ones with the gold ring around the pearl... imagine the dials and pearls being similar: gold index circles on the hour markers equals gold circle at the pearl. If the dial has simple lume circles (vintage) then the pearl has no ring.

Cheers!

In the process of modding my DRSD from Mrs. King and I need a some illumination from the old hands about a couple things:

1) Do the bezel inserts on the gen DRSDs have a metal ring around the pearl, or is the pearl just glued straight into the insert. The pics of gens I have collected off the web seem to look like there is NOT a ring around the pearl. I just got a couple of those sweet lume dots off ebay (listed only briefly) and they look like they would replicate the look of the gen quite nicely.

2) The rep I got has a silver datewheel. The gen pics I have seen all have white datewheels, but I recently saw a gen 1665 movement for sale on ebay that had a silver datewheel. Can anyone clarify?

Thanks for any help.

Has anyone come across a dealer with a Moon Watch w/the solid engraved caseback? All the dealers I have looked at seem to have the see-through back.

Thanks for any help.

Paul

The knowledge is truly remarkable in this place. I learn something new evertime I'm here.

Thanks, guys.

Looking for a nice 20mm oyster bracelet with solid end links for my DRSD from King. Please PM.

Barring one from a member, does anyone have a source for an aftermarket oyster bracelet that will fit the bill?

Thanks for any help,

Tried aging a Pepsi bezel insert for the vintage GMT Master project I'm working on by soaking it in a solution of bleach, water and salt. Came out kinda blotchy. Any ideas on how to get a uniform fade? I've seen any number of posts on fading sub inserts and they seem to look a lot better than mine,

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

BP

I'd love to see Paula wearing nothing but a ladies Datejust...drunken [censored]

I also was wondering about Joe. Sent him a couple emails in the past month and no reply.

I still don't get it ...
