  1. All the 551x models have the wrong case incl mbw. They are based on the 1680 which is a different shape. Subtle but easily enough spotted. The T on the dial and the swiss text are usually easy tells for non gen dials on the 5517 but for the initiated the caseback markings will give you away early too. They seem to know all the runs. Build a milsub 5513 would b my plan. Same soldered bars but gives you some freedom with hands and markings

    There are quite a few variations of the this milsub. Which one are you building?

  2. If I want to do bussiness with ebay using PP as the means of recieving payment

    the three below are the steps you need to make to lift your $500 limit withdrawal a month. Meaning If I have $1500 in my PP account, it will take me 3 months to to withdraw the whole ammount. On the other hand, if I have those three verified there will be no limit how much I can withdraw from my PP account.

    Steps to Lift Your Withdrawal Limit: $500 a month.

    Confirm your Social Security Number

    Confirm a bank account

    Complete your enrollment in the Expanded Use Program

  3. [i would just list any watches you ship as watch returned from repairs. ]

    Thanks for the tip Tim. The state is AE and the auto teller will not process my request saying that I need to see a "live" teller.

    BTW, I thought I saw you in Pentagon City last Wednesday in a black bimmer. Was that you??

  4. Here is another one and it also looks like it has asymmetrical pushers and no other blaring mistakes.

    Damn if these do not look like DWs

    But $300???????

    HighDef -- How did you figure that price and can you translate the rest of the page?

    The thickness of the case and the sub dial position from the pic on that site tells me that it has the 7750. I could be wrong.

  5. And look at the depth of the subdials and serifs on the '3' on this thing

    I have never seen this level of accuracy on any other non-put-it-together-yourself PN rep!

    And all for $300???!!!

    This could be the old bait-and-switch rep scam of using gen photos to sell rubbish. But I do not know.

    I would love to know what Ubi, the undisputed Daytona mod king, thinks about these.

    EDIT -- After more careful study of a few more of the PN's on the page, I have concluded the following --

    1. The movements may be bi-compax since in all of the photos (several) the hour subdial is always 'fixed' at 12. Now this could be because the chrono was just started (or has not yet run long enough to engage the chrono's hour clock) or it could be because the movement does not have a functional third subdial.

    Around the middle of the main index page, there is a red & black PN. About half way down the page for that model, there is a photo of the movement. I am viewing this on a laptop, so it is hard to see the details and I cannot tell which chrono movement this is (I do not see any text or branding but the movement does appear to have a small bit of decoration, so I do not think it is a cheap Asian clone)

    I tried to PM The Zigmeister, but he apparently has his messages disabled. But, Rob, if you happen to read this, please have a look and let us know your opinion.

    2. The cases appear to be the same (thicker) case like the one used for Joshua's manual PN's.

    Still not sure about the pusher positions. All of the watches on that site that have the correct dial, appear (in the photos) to have asymmetrical pushers. But there are also a bunch of watches on the main page that look like cheap junk. So it is hard to tell.

    Sorry Fred, I do not speak the language either. That movement is the Seagull ST19 manual wind. I use the currency converter to now the dollar ammount. I wish Ubi and Euno can share thier toughts about this watch. I wish they post more than just one pic. I like the looks of this and the price. I think Ubi or Euno know how to speak Nippongo.
