Wow, that really is a beautiful watch

It works really well, and given all the text and markings would have had to be re-created, excellent re-finishing work

That looks spot on to me Nice build

That one's not quite so much to my taste, but indeed, for someone who likes the bling, absolutely perfect

a21j is a perfectly trustworthy and reliable movement, I've adjusted several of mine to +0.5 seconds per day, so they are every bit as good as the ETA. They might not be as easy to repair, but they are much cheaper to replace As for dealers, Narikaa is The Man when it comes to business, Silix, on the other hand, well, you'll be lucky to get what you ask for, and even if you do get what you ask for, it will be dropshipped, un-QCd, so possibly flawed. Go with Narikaa and have a smooth transaction

I didn't realize BK had the Sub in blue, if they have, that's good stuff When it comes to details, it is very much a personal thing. Initially, many people get hung up on the idea that they might 'get called out', but truth be told, no-one really notices (and almost never comments) on the watch a person is wearing, so from that perspective, personally, I can't see the point in shelling out the big bucks for a watch when a budget alternative, while perhaps not being as close to cosmetically perfect, is certainly still good enough to have the look of the original watch, and could still fool most people in the street, so budget options are certainly not always 'bad watches'. I believe that the genuine blue SS Sub (as linked) is an Asian-market Only watch (I might be wrong there) The only blue Sub I have seen, is worn by the actor TJ Thyne in Bones, but of course, that could be a 'wardrobe costume prop', or if a gen, maybe something he picked up on travels, so I've never been sure if it is actually a rep or a gen. One thing's for sure, I've never seen anyone posting a blue Sub as part of the wrist shots or their collections (although I wouldn't mind one myself) so it would certainly be a nice break from the norm of the usual suspects of 1680 and 16610 Subs and DSSDs... At the end of the day, go with the watch which you like the most, and you will be the most comfortable with, and you won't go wrong

That white Sub looks fantastic, the YM-style insert definitely makes the difference, and the 3D effect of the insert is definitely what gives the YM it's distinction from a Sub Seeing the white Sub definitely makes me think that the grey Sub with the YM insert might be worth a try I remember you showing the watch before, but I forget if pink was the original color of the dial... It's certainly a unique piece, and I sometimes feel with this hobby, it is the unique pieces which keep it a fun and interesting hobby They are indeed

I just found this, and thought it was rather tasty. I then thought it might make a nice project to combine with a YM bezel

I believe this is more like what you're thinking of than a BK. He does not do blue...

Welcome back

I believe also the a7750 movement

Silly quick question, and totally OT, but would the SMP chrono use the same movement as a Tudor Chrono?

Welcome, indeed :drinks:

The top watch is awesome

And of course, as most catalogues state, pictures might not be identical to received item

These hands look red to me...

The one with the red hand though, the orange of the insert dot and on the button still looks like the correct orange. IMHO, the dial and hand are a different and incorrect color.

A group of dealers originally consisting of Andrew, Angus, Joshua and King. They had the market on all the best watches from the factory. I don't think this quartet exists any more as a group, but of course, they each still deal individually, and Andrew and Joshua have a particularly close business relationship

It looks absolutely fantastic As above, not the prettiest watch, but that's not the point of a project like this, this is one which looks like it has been used solidly every day of it's ownership, a fine project indeed

If the color of the hand and font are supposed to look like this: Then yes, they are completely the wrong color. I would not say that the hand looked 'too red', or any other shade of orangey-red, I would simply say it was red... As with everything in the rep world, one fault corrected, one fault created...

I believe it's a version 2, about an inch square with a round control interface, it doesn't have voiceover. Thanks for the tips, I'll give that a try tomorrow when I'm back on that PC It doesn't seem to be shuffling the tracks randomly, just alphabetizing them by artist, which is nice to have some stuff grouped by artist, but it's also nice to be able to arrange the playlist for flow of tunes

Crazy... I can understand collecting things, afterall, that's why we're all here, but multiples of identical items in a collection, that's a bit too extreme for me

The GS is way closer, especially with the deeper bevel

Hope you're feeling better soon, I had such a bad toothache a while back, that the root canal was a relief For prior pain relief (that's a joke) I was taking Syndol, which the net describes as: Mild to moderate pain such as headache, including muscle-contraction or tension headache, migraine, neuralgia, toothache, sore throat, dysmenorrhoea, muscular and rheumatic aches and pains and following surgical or dental procedures. Tablet containing: Doxylamine succinate 5mg Codeine phosphate 10mg Caffeine 30mg Paracetamol 450mg Dosage: Adults: 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed. Maximum 8 tablets in 24 hours. Children: not recommended. I was taking 3 tablets ever 2 hours to keep the pain bearable I knew my body couldn't handle that much chemical abuse for long, so I booked in at the dentist. As soon as the tooth was drilled, the pain was gone. That is until I started to get the withdrawal from the Syndols... I was well and truly :animal_rooster: like a smackhead, and got the shakes so bad, I couldn't hold a pen to draw After about 48 hours, I was okay...

Just tried loading some stuff onto a Shuffle, but it seems determined to simply list everything in alphabetical order of the artist, rather than the pre-arranged list... Any way of avoiding this, or is that just the nature of the Shuffle?
