The disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370
Mike on a bike replied to Legend's topic in General Discussion
At this point theories abound but going back to Limestone's post"One can compare the tracing of the Air France plane that disappeared in 2009. It took 2 years before we found some subject of the investigation and were at great depth almost 3000 meters in the Atlantic." I have a feeling resolution/discovery will be far down the road. -
Guys watch in could not be happier as my pics are not so good the ones up surely do it more justice. Impressions: well the sweep is smooth as silk even my best movements cannot rival it, great presence on the wrist I dare say if you are in skinny wrist club might be too much despite its 42 x12 specs wears much larger (Aston might even wear this). Nice bracelet but slight down side double deployment I prefer latch with ADJ to get a perfect fit (but that is just me) but even I will be taking out a link or two it is long........... Also needs some conditioning, time to break out the clean ride. Legibility is excellent I felt it would be one of the reasons I purchased and I was correct. Only 3ATm water resistance w/ no screw down another minus so this in the do not get wet section for sure even washing the dishes could be dicey but I am anal about that. Fit finish very good not high end watch good but let's face it kills 99% of Reps.Over all a definite buy rating and at JP's link for $133 USDs hard to beat. Ps forgot to mention crystal is very cool and lume just on hour/min hands.

Ryan wait till you see it in the flesh then you can make a better assessment.
-
Looking good , a lot of heartache and $ down the road it would seem. But AH in the end. :clap2:
-
Ryan just to point out we are super anal here not a terrible watch at all. As you seem new to this do not get upset most reps need a little tweaking before right and movement service is just a good idea on all Reps. Remember you paid what $300 or so and this reps a 8k watch so if you want it just right (not perfect all reps have flaws that have nothing to do with improper /defective construction /parts) more $ may be needed.
-
Good eyes missed that shadow there ,getting old! Well it is what it is looks like new bezel and date wheel alignment needed, also have movement serviced Ryan while at the smith.
-
Guys most likely angle on shot with date wheel need a straight on.
-
Works for me, wear in good health!
-
Who knows but " I told them ill accept and they are shipping." means just that if I were the dealer.
-
Well Ryan the cow left the barn right so wait till you have it in hand, as all bezel issues not the end of the world to get another one.
-
Ok got me how did you know?
-

Along with my collection of micro brands divers, Pams ,Breitlings lord knows what else and having been wrongly painted with anti Rolex brush let me share some of mine with you. Let's start with the double red SD. mods: standard vintage low puff lume job. The hands are dulled and slightly aged. Dial has mildly patina. Used matte coat for the dial. The insert is lightly aged. The pearl is relumed with vintage lume to match dial. Silver DWO and a ETA 2846 movement with 21.600bph. Next the big crown. THIN TIGER PROJECTS CASE- LUG HOLES DRILLED AGED GHOST INSERT WITH RE-LUMED YUKI PEARL HELENAROU 2 LINE GILT DIAL - RE LUMED BY BIG DAZ CORRECT LONG SECONDS LOLLYPOP HAND FROM CWP ATHAYA 8MM TUBE AND CROWN GEN NOS 2846 SLOW BEAT MOVEMENT - RUNS BEAUTIFULLY WITH MINIMAL ROTOR NOISE Next: Project X Heritage w some aging for that older look Original case was the SA3135V2 Sub C, reshape the case to have a thinner profile and perhaps most importantly..lugholes Dial has been relumed to a nice vintage off-white cream (Project X used a really ugly fake yellow lume). Vintagized case to make it look like what a heritage Sub would look like 20-30 years from now. So it is intentionally weathered and appear as if it's been polished several times. Movement is an Swiss ETA 2834. Dial is a relumed BP no date. Second hand has been lacquered white. Platinum mod on numbers and red triangle filled. 8mm crown and tube courtesy of Athaya. This one just bought today. Yes and a TC on the way (3rd one raffles! ) This one on me now has not left the wrist since it arrived wears great on a beige w/ red strip NATO, my beater! . In closing those of you who know me know I have ten thumbs and could not mod sh*t, these watches are a credit to the expertise, hard work and vision of the RWG members who built them.
