Awesome post, and a fine watch The Planet Ocean is a fantastic watch, I'd certainly say an acceptable alternative to a Submariner, it's certainly as versatile in terms of strap tolerances

Awesome watches, amigos The new bezel insert arrived today, and Emily convinced me to install it in the NATO Tudor, as opposed to the red-quarter insert which was installed. I did really like the red-quarter, but the monochromatic look's also got something going for it I gave the insert a very mild buffing with a nail-file, to take off a little paint at the edges, but it's a barely perceptable vintaging, and not really visible at all in this photo... I really need to find my digital camera...

No problem, amigo, happy to be of help

Indeed, different, but nice

Sorry to hear about the flooding... Could you not epoxy the crystal into place rather than returning it? I wouldn't like to say what kind of depth rating you might achieve, but the crystal on my vintage sub is epoxied in place, and that stands up to both the faucet on full force, and strong swimming, so maybe worth a try?

Very tasty, my friend, very tasty indeed

Faisal Ali aka warehouseoutlet on the Bay. Not someone I would want to do business with again, even in desperate circumstances...

What a trip down memory lane Thanks for sharing

Might the original dealer be worth a try?

I don't know Breitlings enough to comment on accuracy, but regardless, that is one nice watch

That's the kind of thing my wife's biological father would do, back when he was alive. I wouldn't want to put your friend's father in the same catagory as him, as he was a real scumbag, but yeah, it's not nice being in that kind of situation

Sorry to hear about the troubles, I hope everyone manages to get their issues resolved amicably

Back to this for me...

I'm sure I read a while back that the inaccuracies are deliberate on the part of the factories, as a legal defence against copyright infringement, so they can argue that their product is not 100% the same as the original. Makes sense.

Congratulations indeed Here's wishing you many years of happiness together

Thanks, bro I never drove a car, as I never actually needed to learn to drive as a form of transport, as I could always walk, walk to a train, or get a cab if need be I have driven go-karts, and enjoyed it, so I expect I could learn to drive a car without too much problem. With regard helicopters, as you say I remember hearing that if you can rub your head and pat your stomach, while making a cycling motion with your legs, then theoretically, you would have the potential coordination to learn to fly one, so I'm in good stead so far

I started on the other RWG a few years back, having ordered a watch for my wife from Applewave, and eventually found my way here A bit about myself: I'll be 31 years old in a few weeks, and have been interested in watches most of my life. I'm married, and have been with my wife 5 years now. I converted to Islam 2 years ago, I take my faith very seriously, and although not everyone in my life was initially accepting of that, most have now got their heads round it I've never driven a car, and would be more interested in gaining a PPL (specifically for helicopters)than a driving license. I have five guinea pigs, and am ambidextrous

As above, the same pins will be fine After all, the NATO strap is designed to keep the watch on the wrist in the event of a bar failure

Many thanks

The site I ordered from was EuroFakes, and they're still about. I wouldn't say it was a scam site, as I got what I paid for (and what they advertised) but I definitely got my pants pulled down over the price

I bought from one of the so-called scam sites once. I got exactly what was advertised, in the time-frame promised. Of course, I paid about twice as much as the same watch would likely cost from a Cartel Dealer, but never mind, as far as I'm concerned, I got what I paid for Never again though

I'm not sure how accurate this case is, but it has 5517 etchings, and costing just under £40... My one concern is the bezel profile, as so far, I have been unable to remove it at all, but I hope this might be of help One more for luck

I'm not normally so keen on IWCs, but that's a very tasty piece From the name, it sounds like it should be an astronaut's watch. My one criticism, is I think a white on black datewheel, like the Planet Ocean, would have blended better with the dial... Overall though, very nice
