A fantastic project My personal suggestion for the insert, would be to get the blue military insert from classicwatchparts. You already have many black on black Submariner-style watches, so the blue and black would be something different. Also, I believe that the blue/black Tudor Submariners were issued to the French navy

It's the least I can do, bro All's good so far

That would be an excellent idea, it would make it very east for people to know who to go to if they needed assistance, and might save the mods from having to deal with the more mundane questions

Sounds like an awesome idea I'm always happy to help out anyone who has any questions or guidance

I nearly emigrated to the USA five years ago, and would have been doing so on a fiance visa. I found the information on the immigration/visa websites to be very helpful. As long as you fulfill their criteria, then you shouldn't have any problems. You say that you may be going over with a company... If this is the case, you must travel from your home, to an actual place of business. A friend tried to move over, as he worked remotely as a server manager, so it made no difference to his company where he was actually logging in from, but, the immigration folks said that because he wasn't actually commuting to a place of business, they weren't satisfied that he actually had a job to go to (the conditions for emigrating as a self-employed person are very strict). That said, I believe you could be sponsored by a US Citizen, and I'm sure there're plenty of bros in the US who would be able to do that for you Best of luck with it all

That looks awesome My wife had a HBB Aspen which she wore till it fell apart (literally. The pushers eventually fell out ) That's certainly not gaudy or tacky, but a fine balance between functionality and decoration

I didn't know Adidas had a functional cloning factory

If 'expensive looking' is what you want, I'd suggest the TT Submariner with blue dial. I don't know enough about gold and gold plating to say how well it would last, but, I think that, even if scuffed up, it would look better than the Diamond DJ. As Doc said, they're gaudy. He was being polite. I'll go that step further, and say they look tacky. Unless you wear a lot of similar jewelry, which it could 'blend in with', I don't think it would look good as a 'daily wear' watch. TT Sub, on the other hand, will always look good (as long as the gold doesn't wear off ) Best of luck with making your decision, and welcome to the forum

Looking good Is that a regular aftermarket strap, or a branded one (not Rolex, of course )

I think my bro Lani's covered the main things: We all make mistakes, and we all learn from them. Silly (outright stupid) thing to do, but, it takes cojones to own up and admit being wrong, so all due respect for doing that With regards your comment about learning from the folks over there... It's been said that many members of gen forums are little more than brandname-worshipping elitists (see the comment telling the other person they were not welcome) who don't actually know anything about their watches beyond the price tags. Folks here, on the other hand, know about both the reps and the gen watches... One has to know about the gen, to know about the rep... People here are also used to 'making their own repairs' and even building their own watches from scratch. I don't think many on a gen forum would know how to do that... The resource of information which you seek is right here, not over the road, under a 'brand-name banner'. Have a read, and I'm sure you'll find out everything you ever wanted to know (and more) about watches

I would love to see the results of an AD actually foolish enough to try confiscating someone's personal property... Reps are not illegal for a person to own. Yes, taking a rep into an AD is verboten, but people still have rights over their own personal property Any AD who tried to confiscate a rep, could wind up facing a theft charge

It's a tricky balance, to be sure. I've had deals go very well with members with hardly any posts, and, by the same token, had members with very few posts make offers to buy, but fail to complete the transaction. When that happened, that made me think "fine, platinum members only..." but, given that most platinum members already had what I was selling, it wasn't as if they'd want to buy duplicates, so easier to make some things open to all. I don't even mind if someone backs out of a sale when, following questions, it turns out the item is not what they're looking for, because as mentioned above, I'm not going to take someone's money just because I want it, and I'd certainly rather someone explain and then step back, rather than simply not send the money, and totally back out of the deal like a piker... I guess it's just a case of being grateful when a transaction goes well, and philosophic when things don't work out as intended... [edit to add] I'd say that in general, the world is a generally ruder, less considerate, and more self-centered place than it was, not even a decade ago...

I've got my second 'wedding reception' on Sunday afternoon, and as it'll mean being away from home for a few days, I'm just going to be wearing one watch. That watch, being this awesome wedding gift from my bro, Nikki6 I have to admit, I had previously thought it would only be a 'dress watch', but, I've got to admit, it looks pretty damn good with jeans and a white shirt

"If convicted" Given that this was his third strike, and they know he was driving on a suspended license, and that you've got surgical rods coming out of your knuckles, I'd certainly expect the parasite to be convicted. Here's hoping As for re-offenders, you're spot on. It's crazy how these social parasites think they can just carry on as they had been.

Nothing wrong with Maxi Dials

From what you've said, it sounds like you would find it more satisfying to modify the watch, rather than to simply sell one, then buy another... If you're not worried abot the actual value of the watch, I'd say just stick to the plan of transplanting in a no-date dial

I believe Statham has worn a different PAM in each movie

Damn, really sorry to hear about your accident, I hope you heal up. I know I'd be absolutely screwed if I was ever to damage my hands in any serious way. As folks have mentioned, next time you're in, ask the doc about upgrading to some Adamantium claws All the best for a speedy recovery And as for people who: then ... (or any kind of unsafe driving practice) Fuck you. Your actions have greater consequences than your own miserable lives

I agree with Andy, it'll probably be worth filing 'the feet' of the CG to ensure a better contact between the crown and lever. I had to do the same thing on mine (same case number as yours) It's not tricky, just a bit time consuming, but well worth it in the end, to ensure a good closure of the crown

I've no idea as to the value of the watch, but, given the dial is rare, I'd suggest only taking it to someone who deals primarily with Rolexes, so you get the best possible price for it Best of luck with any sales

The watch Daniel Craig wore in QOS was 42mm. The watch Omega are piggybacking off sorry, marketing ( ) for QOS is 45mm.

Some nice work there

No problem at all Best of luck with the project

I'm not one for TT watches, but that's one fine project, brother
