As always, fantastic shots, bro, almost makes me want to try a DJ for myself

Yup, I've done that myself... (twice ) Chances are the its going to need a professional repair.

At the most, you might be look at an hour's consultation time, and then a fee for if they draft a letter for you. Some lawyers offer a certain amount of consultation time free, and depending on any benefits claimed (or possibly student fees/expenses) they might be able to offer a reduced price. It certainly wouldn't hurt to enquire, and then decide how you want to proceed

I have a Casio divers watch with a 10 year battery... Only cost me

Absolutely awesome

This is so true. I love my 004, but any time I put it on, I just find it 'too harsh' to go with stuff, so it sees very little wrist time. A shame, seeing as it was a birthday present from Emily the year before last, but never mind, such is life

Thanks for the info That's one expensive digital watch

I've just watched the Nicolas Cage movie Bangkok Dangerous, and wondered if anyone might be able to identify this digital watch, which featured heavily in the movie, and was worn by both Cage and his Thai prot

Exactly the same situation for me. Price is irrelevent to if I like a watch, and if I like a watch, I'll buy it. With regards daily wear, I don't think cost is the issue with what one can pull off, but their overall image, and if the watch is incongruous to that image, it is going to get unwanted attention. Not because it might be a rep, but because it would look out of place with the wardrobe. Eg: A really high-end dress watch is going to look out of place when worn with a T-shirt and combat trousers, simply because the style is wrong, not because of the cost of the gen...

Thanks for the responses, guys I'm really in two minds about my project plans... I love how the ceramic insert looks on the GMTIIc, so I'm really keen to use an insert in my project, but I am concerned how well it might last on a watch intended as a beater... I think that while a regular insert might not have quite the same impact, it would be more long-lasting... Of course, I don't have the cash to start this project for a while, I just want to know my options for when the time comes

Looking good

I agree completely, when I first saw it, I wasn't 100% convinced, but, it gradually grew on me, and, having tried on the gen, I can honestly say that it is a gorgeous watch I'm not sure I like it enough to keep one 'in factory condition' ( ) but it sure is awesome

Cool beans Has it been subjected to much 'rough handling', or just the usual daily activities?

Indeed, very helpful, bro I guess it would be fair to say that a ceramic watch isn't really well suited to any kind of environment or activities where it might be subjected to any unexpected knocks/drops etc... Thanks indeed for that, it's certainly made a choice for me with regards my GMTSub V2.0 plans, and I likely won't use the ceramic insert in the bezel, as, from what you've said, I don't think it would stand up to being worn in all circumstances. Of course, it probably would be fine, but a metal insert is much easier to replace (if need be) than a ceramic one, and, while scuffs on a metal insert can add a little character, a watch being sans insert, wouldn't look so great Thanks again

I can't really make any other suggestions, but, I will say congratulations and best of luck with your upcoming wedding You won't get better advise on the subject than this awesome band of brothers As Lani says, One heart ~ One community

I'm not sure who patented it, but my favorite innovations are practical ones: Deployant clasps, and the Diver's extension. Some are a bit more complicated in manufacture than others, but, they all do the same thing, and I think that is a very simple, but functional thing When I was younger, I was fascinated to see a watch bracelet 'get smaller' to fit the wrist, without being 'done up' like a regular strap, so I guess it's only fitting that I find the Diver's extensions of similar interest, as they perform the exact same function: Changing the size of the bracelet, without any need to 'break the bracelet' for any kind of re-sizing. It's just a simple process of going from one size, to the other, and back again

You've got to post some pics of it I know folks might think I'm crazy, but I actually find it interesting to see the variations in these watches, as most are like nothing Rolex ever made I know that a rep's a rep, and a fake is a fake, but with the real fantasy models, it's the 'what if...' aspect which appeals to me

What an awesome experience Thanks for sharing, I can see the study and its contents in my mind's eye, what a truly remarkable experience

I'd say the most versatile and 'middle of the road' Seamaster is the 42.54mm Planet Ocean. I considered getting a 2254.50 as an upgrade from my Submariner (upgrade in terms of larger hands, larger dial, larger luminous indices, not in terms of brand recognition) but, while I was 'doing the rounds' Casino Royale was released, and I went for the Planet Ocean instead. In terms of personal favorite, I would say it is the 2354.80, but I think the Planet Ocean is slightly more versatile in terms of color, and the integrated crown guards are sublime

This watch has appealed to me, on the quiet, for quite some time when I was in my 'Panerai Phase' I always thought that if any Rolex would appeal to me, it would be this watch, but I was always concerned about the dial size when compared to a PAM. Of course, having gotten used to a sub-sized watch again, I can honestly say that this is a gorgeous watch, and a 'must have' for any collection

I felt like a change and figured this one hasn't seen any wrist time in quite a while.

Crazy as this might sound, I would like a really bad 'fake Rolex' for my collection, even if just for shits and giggles.

That's good to hear Have either taken the odd 'ding' or two and come through unscathed, or simply been worn carefully?

Having read about the unfortunate who shattered the bezel insert of their GMTIIc, I was just wondering what experiences folks might have had with other ceramic applications on a watch, be it rep or gen, and regardless of brand involved

Personally, if those were my watches, I would sell off the Rolex, simply because the divers watch is more suited to my needs. No other reason at all, just a case if which would I get the most use out of. Of course, that's just my .2c
