This is the gizmo Sorry for the lousy photo

No, the whole kit was like a dentist would use, small angle-neck mirror, scraping utensil and stuff... The item in question, looks like an oversized marker pen nib... I'll get a photo of it

I was just wondering if anyone knew how deeply the holes are drilled into lugs, when they are not drilled though completely? Is it just a few mm, or a bit deeper?

I believe that that Tony is also TonyXKF aka Watcheden, so in that regards, considered a sanctioned dealer on RWI, and under apprenticeship here Awesome watch, what did you use to brush the mid-links? I picked up a dental kit in Poundland on a hunch, and the 'stain removing' tool, is excellent for re-finishing brushed SS If you were to do the bezel mod as mentioned for the DSSD, I think you'll just make the watch look even more badass

I've never had a customs issue with ordering watches, and, an article which was recently linked here, said that customs don't bother prosecuting buyers, because they have bigger fish to fry, so it's all good

I'm still wearing the one on the right

This isn't my watch, but it gets my vote

My sinuses are playing up at the moment too, so you're not alone... Get well soon

Key word there, being 'if'. As was mentioned above with the Cartier, that was destroyed because it was sent from the AD to Cartier. In order for that to happen, the AD has to take possession of the watch somehow, and, also as mentioned above, any attempts to confiscate a rep will open an AD up to theft charges. Are there any instances of this actually happening? I remember once reading about a tourist who got caught with a bag full of reps, and being given a customs tax on them as if they were genuine, but I haven't heard about a manufacturer suing a rep owner... To be honest, I can't even see what they would hope to gain from such action. Suing the rep manufacturers, sure, but the owner, it seems pretty far fetched... And also has no legal power to If you want to look at a collection, all you have to do is put your watch in your pocket before going in

That's a fine looking watch, bro

I found my PAM 029a got the most compliments from the ladies, both young and mature At one point, it got my wrist grabbed by a rather hot female friend, and at first, I thought she was just trying to see the time, but no, she was actually checking out the watch Hell yeah

I'd say something nice and simple, like an Omega Aqua Terra or a Rolex DateJust

Nope, they have no powers of confiscation at all. While it is bad form to wear a rep into an AD, they have absolutely no powers to do anything to the watch. It is not illegal to own reps. A rep watch is as much your personal property as the shoes on your feet or the shirt on your back. Any attempt on the part of an AD to take/keep/destroy a rep, is quite simply, theft. They would get in more trouble for seizing it than you would for owning it. Okay, in the case of the Cartier which was then sent 'back to base', they mght have some power of destruction, but I would not be too sure, and while it might be hard to claim damages for the loss, it might be possible if the owner was to claim ignorance that it was a rep by claiming it was a gift, but of course, it's much better to avoid any situations by simply not taking reps into that brand's AD

Good to see you back, amigo

If the colleges can use the money to give more scholarships to people who would not ordinarily be able to afford tuition, then that can only be a good thing

Welcome indeed

I changed my name when I got married, as I wanted to take my wife's surname rather than keep my own. Changing my name was the easy part... Getting companies to use it was the hard part At least all my ID and official papers are now correct I believe the line from Coming to America was "A man has the right to change his name!"

Fantastic watch If they ever release a decent rep of it, I could be tempted

OKay, I'm not actually wearing it at the moment, I just put it on for a wrist shot, but I'm quite liking how this combo came out. A kind of Sub does DateJust

Polar bears FTW [edit to add] From one of my favorite movies: A toast... To the cubs winning the World series and big tits.

Okay, my GMTSub really wasn't in any condition to join in So for the group shot, I'm putting the prize GMT in as a proxy What're we looking at... From the left, we have my Project Sub, which is in a constant state of flux, not as near completion as I'd like, but still active. I installed the Yacht-Master's bracelet on a whim, and as a Sub isn't as blingy as a Y-M, I feel the bracelet simply add's a little extra class, rather than being OTT... Next is my Yacht-Master. A purchase inspired by a childhood watch, and the Ulysse Nardin MMD. I've pretty much butchered and re-built this watch since receiving it I initially put it on the bracelet from the GMTSub, because I wanted to tone it down a bit, and didn't want it looking blingy. Since then, I have had to replace the white gasget and crystal with the ones from the GMTSub (as I butchered the others with cyanoacrylate when trying to waterproof the watch ) It wouldn't look good under a loupe, but is quite acceptable on the wrist. I can see this watch being my beater for the forseable future. Lastly, we have the 'coke' GMT, fitted to a mystery bracelet. I honestly can't remember what watch the bracelet is from, but it replaced the factory-installed bracelet, which had some gibberish stamped into the leaves. This watch has also been completely broken down and re-built, and is as good as I can get it, before it finds itself a new home, with whoever wins the activity (to be decided) at my best friend's stag in Tokyo. Having had this in my custody for a few days now, I actually really like it. I wouldn't go so far as to say I prefer it over the all-black insert, but it is definitely a watch which I could wear as a beater, if it were mine (I'll just have to win it ) Of course, it's place in the lineup will eventually be taken by V2.0 of the GMTSub, which will technically, be a GMTIICSub, but obviously I need to buy some watches to cannibalize for the parts to build it

An awesome duo

It'snbeen a while, bro, I hope all's well with you Indeed, for the money, you really can't go wrong I just put the watch on my rubber strap, to prevent the bracelet getting scuffed up during the shakedown period, and I think it looks awesome I really like the Yacht-Master I got from the same dealer, but it's going to be hard parting with this one when the time comes

They may be reps, but they're still made of real metal, saphire and rubber I've always feared mechanical failure of the movement more than a structural failure from the watches taking a few dings
