TeeJay

Great stuff, is this the drinking and debauchery and shooting thread for this weekend? I'm off to get some Heineken and Scotch.

Sounds like a plan

Good show for the most part T. I have a decent gun collection...so these types a shows are fun to watch. It looks like mom has some fake tits...nothing wrong with that though. . But leaving comments like "I'd like 2 sniff ur panties"...well thats just juvenile and shows no class what so ever. I haven't seen a close up of any of there watches....are you sure that there Rolexs....and not some Invicta or what ever poser? Im sure there the real deal but you never know.

I saw one the other day where a guy wanted an 'end of days zombie blaster' so they rigged up some kind of shotgun to fire (I think) .50 cal but in a more pistol-like configuration. Only thing that ruined it, was they put a skull-shaped muzzle-brake on it Took what should have been a really badass piece, and made it look like some Mall Ninja's fantasy piece Yeah, Renee has definitely had some new airbags installed, but nothing wrong with that Yeah, the person who left the comment didn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the box, but even so, just amazes me that people think shit like that actually works Wouldn't want to be in the shoes of any wannabe-rapist who tried to jump those ladies Definitely Rolexes though, in one show, Rich used a TT Submariner as a way of getting a buyer to accept less $$s on a trade in, and I'm sure I've seen him wearing a Yacht-Master since then

5513 is certainly the pinnacle of simplicity for Submariner perfection, but I must offer the 9401 as an alternative contender for the title.

Same simplicity of design and aesthetics, but with the improved visibility of the snowflake dial and hands

Plus, it doesn't say Rolex on the dial

Any other viewers? Seems like Rich is a big Rolex fan, and Kurt wears one too. Not a bad show, and some nice firearms. Saw some mouthbreathers post some filthy comments on Paige's official facebook page, and it makes me wonder the kind of mentality that makes someone think "I'd lke 2 sniff ur panties" will get a positive reaction, or if they'd like others making comments like that about their daughters or sisters

Looking good

Just a quick update, the watch sold, so MIL is happy

I'd only take the 42mm PO

I've waited 4-5 weeks in the past for stuff to arrive. As Freddy said above, give it another week before asking the dealer to investigate

Nice hardware all round

Nice work

Dude they make smaller Ipods! LoL

I know, but the 2nd gen Nano was the closest in appearance to the original prop I wanted to try and recreate the look of the original prop, but with something functional and wearable inside, rather than just a light up toy

Welcome indeed

I can see where the weight of the Ipod could become a issue. But you had fun and the experence never hurts.

I think that straps at either end of the cuff would provide the proper support, but I wanted to get it as close to the original prop as possible, but with the functional iPod But absolutely, it was definitely good experience

It may be uncomfortable due to the pleather...but It sure looks cool. Kind of reminds me of some of those bund straps. I have to admit...some of them look quite nice.

I would have no problem wearing one of these....especially with that watch.

Yeah, I think the pleather is definitely the issue with the heat, but the weight of the iPod is too much for the single strap, so it's not really a practical wearer (even if it did have the cover flap in place to protect everything) but it was a fun project to do That Daytona and bund is a sweet combo, bro

Roman Gladiator watch band? Dude that Is just plain old bad ass. I didn't even know they had watches back then. . I guess they did have those wrist sun dials.

Love It.

Thanks, bro It's a custom iPod holder based on a 51st Century vortex manipulator.

I wanted it made in leather, but couldn't afford it, so wound up making it from pleather... The pleather is hot and uncomfortable to wear, and the weight pulls it down onto the back of my hand (two straps would be more effective, but I wanted to keep it as close to the original prop as possible ) so it just sits on top of my speaker dock with the aux cable plugged in

Not quite a watch strap, and only pleather, but this is my attempt at a wrist-strap Still needs a covering flap, but as it's actually quite uncomfortable to wear, I've been in no hurry to do that

The service replacement dials for a 9411 are the same triangle dial as the 79090. I can't remember which but a 2784 dial won't fit a 2824 or vice versa due to dial feet thickness.

Not an issue, just a case of clipping the feet and use dial dots...

If you can track down a 79090 dial, then it'll be an easy conversion

I forget where I heard it, but I heard about someone who, before a long trip, would color over Waldo's sweater before giving the book to their kids so they would never find him, thus be constantly occupied

Yeah, Mick knows how to protect himself properly

Fantastic watches, and interesting how many of the Explorers are on the glossy black leather straps Thanks for taking the time to post the photos

My .2c... Sell any un-needed movements and handsets to buy a new rep GMT with ETA movement and build around the movement Not ideal if you really want a gen heart in your watch, but it would be one way around the issue of the hands and movement fitting correctly

Double Post

For this watch, I think I prefer the white dial variant

I was in a 70s kinda mood today...
