TeeJay

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

This one uses an A7750 movement. What does the Tudor Chrono use?

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

believe me, they are not red

The best is to wait for a member to get one (many coming next week) and post wrist shots.

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

not sure if I follow (I don't see any red hands). Remember, there's a blue AR on that crystal. Depending on angle and lighting the hands will look diff from bezel dot and button.

I'd be very surprised if they had bothered to make a new batch of hands at all. They are probably the same as the V1.

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.

I keep reading on this site and RepGeek about the cartels but I am unsure what is meant by this. Can someone shed some light for me.

cheers

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

is it just me or does the miunte hand and seamaster font look too red? everything else looks amazing!

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...

Which version is it? The newest one with Voiceover has a method for selecting the playlist, but I will have to consult my manual.

I believe it's a version 2, about an inch square with a round control interface, it doesn't have voiceover.

I have a first Gen Shuffle "Pack of Gum" version. Mine plays in the correct order -or- randomly based on switch position.

Your problem could be caused by an error in the "Playlist you are filling from". (Caused by the shuffle button in iTunes -or- by sorting the playlist previously.)

Try this:

1.) Make a new playlist.

2.) MAKE SURE "SHUFFLE" icon is OFF in iTunes

3.) Drag the songs you want over - IN THE ORDER YOU WANT THEM

4.) Make sure NOT to "Sort" the playlist at any time.

5.) FILL iPod "FROM NEW PLAYLIST

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

Acutally Mike Wood owns 18. Thats 18 of the estimated 200 left in the world ...

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?

Hey look.. he threw in a black NATO!

Customer care at it's very best

No way. I've only seen crap on Canal Street. Usually way lighter and obviously flimsy. the majority of replicas are chrome, these are stainless steel.

I don't claim to be an expert, but I've had replicas before, and these are the nicest I've had. Bali has 4 types of watches; cheap, Canal Street like ones, heavy chrome ones sold in retain chains, stainless steel ones (what I got) and they had what they claimed were swiss movement.

I honestly think people assume you need to spend a few hundred for something nice so they are discounting these based on what I've paid. I've paid more in the past and gotten much less.

You're not wrong there. I've purchassed many budget watches in the past few years, and I've always found their quality to be more than satisfactory

thanks - that's mine. It looks better in person.

I can't comment on how well it's replicated, but 'as a watch', I think it looks great

That's a BCE but I am afraid not a very good replication. For $85 I suppose it's pretty good for testing out the model but there are much better available from our trusted dealers, although at a cost. Interesting to see what else is out there in any case.

It's fun to see what's on markets abroad, as they often have some interesting fantasy models Not always to everyone's taste, but always interesting to see

Paying that much for a watch, is crazy... Having six identical mil-subs in a collection is OCD gone too far... A fun read, but I think I'll be sticking with reps

I'm not much of a Breitling fan, but I like the 2nd watch

Awesome Interesting that the shape of the lugs appears to come from a bend in the steel, rather than machined shaping

I like the sound of that
