  3. Corel PaintShop Pro X6

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    Just playing around a little with PaintShop Pro X6. Black & White photo, then I touched-up the markers to make the lume brighter white.

    I also did inside the date window.

    You can do a lot with this software. I'm just using the 30 day demo for now.

    gen case and movement,gen crown,gen hands ,crystal,bezel assembly,and insert,and dial and braclet.is not a franken to me,its a hand built gen,to me a franken is every thing gen apart from case bracelet and movement like mine;)

    +1, I call my 16610 Sub a Franken. Some might try to call it a Super Franken, or Uber Franken but not me. Everything on mine is gen except the case,bezel ring,bracelet and movement.

    Although I do have some gen parts on my Y3135 movement also, like the date disc & main spring!

  12. No BS, it really works!

    I have to say; I read a lot of Tips, Trick, Short-Cuts, etc… and most don’t really live up to my expectations. But I finally tried the ‘Bracelet Lube’ treatment using the Rock-n-Roll Extreme Wet Chain Lube.

    Man I have to say, this stuff Really makes a difference. I just separated my bracelet in two half’s, put each one is a small plastic baggie. Shake the bottle, squirt some in each bag and just rub it around the bracelet for a few minutes. You will see the blue color change a little as the dirt hiding inside the bracelet comes out. After letting is sit for only about 5 minutes, I just removed the bracelet parts and wiped them down with a paper towel. I did not wash it and I don’t think you need to. Since this is a Dry lube, is doesn’t leave behind any oily residue. The bracelet is very quiet now and just feels so much better. :)

    So, although this is just another post about the bracelet lube trick, you still should try this if you haven’t already!

    GS? 455?

    I wish! It was a basic 1966 Skylark with a 350 in it. Fun to drive, but no Real power.

    It was a very clean car and it got a lot of thumbs-up from people when driving it.

    Previous 'Toy' was a 1959 Chevy Apache Pickup with a 283 .30 over.

    In between these I had a Harley Road King, completely custom built with an S&S 124,

    Baker 6-Speed, Rinehart Dual Exhaust, Barnett Scorpion  Clutch & tons of Chrome

    Dave you are officially my cuff link hero. I collect them too but this time of year I don't wear as many suits....

    Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

    Ah thanks! I sit in an air conditioned office all day, so I don't care if its 80-90 out.

    I still wear my tie & cufflinks!

    ;)

  23. New tactical watch

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I had a first gen Omega X-33, and it was a very good watch. Quartz, but analog hands, and a bunch of other functions, which were pretty easy to get to after a little practice. On the gen Omega forums, some said that the first gen had crown problems, which were fixed with the second gen and the first gens that were sent back to Omega for repair. I never had any problems with mine. Titanium case and bracelet made it super light. Just wasn't generating a lot of wrist time, so I sold it. I had several gen Omegas over the years, and they never were long term keepers.

    I also had a 1st gen X-33 that I installed a 2nd gen crown on. Another one I wished I had kept.
