    Personally I'd add the AP Survivor and definitely remove the rolex DJII and DDII due to their awful date window.

    Did the hands have to be broached or crimped to fit on the Swiss movement?

    Wow, you guys are harsh. It just looks like bad lighting and mediocre SELs to me.

    TC's blog says $130, but doesn't mention GMT at all.

    Mine does. It's incredible, about 1 sec/day, best movement I've got so far.

    I ruined a bunch of hands with the presto. Ever since getting the manual lever type it's been no problem at all. Ditch the presto IMO.

    Cheaper though.

    So it looks like a real rotor, not just a sticker on a stock rotor, is this right?

    I was kicked out of scouts. Turns out they don't like atheists.

    Er, good luck with that.

    Switch to the other side maybe?

    Pay special attention to the ring lock engraving in your QC, most of the ones I've seen have been crooked and weird. (One example, the "I" in "ring" looks like it's falling over.)

    Excellent balanced discussion of the topic here: http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the-riddle-of-the-gun'>http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the-riddle-of-the-gun

    OK, that's 85 essays written by three guys anonymously. I'd like to see where they write about it (not disputing just yet, but I'd like to see.) Also, it's quite clear that the authors (Hamilton, Jay and Madison) are a very small subset of the "founding fathers." They were influential but not the only game in town.

    Makes sense. You'd be crazy to put a sec @ 12 or sec @ 6 7750 on a winder, just puts constant stress and wear on its most vulnerable points.

    Source for this?

    But on the other hand it has awful Ring Lock text, letters misaligned and pointed in crazy directions.

    Only would affect the amplitude calculations, and the difference will be minimal (a few degrees tops). Don't worry about it.

    Awesome info, Thx!!

    C/O means clean and oil?
  22. mch2112
    Don't know exactly, but they are different makers.

    I might have spare clasp lying around if you're interested. If you get a new strap it's easy to replace, just push on the spring bar ends.

    Over on RG some of the pictures show a crooked hour marker at six. I'd ask them to remove that red A sticker to check.

    Crappy situation but seems IMO that your instincts are right. You've got a short time left with him, you can't compromise that. Maybe send the kids to a motel where they can reflect on their attitudes and start thinking like grownups. However it plays out, I hope it goes as well as possible given the circumstances.
