TeeJay

Sad to say, but as bad as things are now, this is just a warm-up to Britain's (& the EU's) real problem, which is just around the corner - Islam & sheria law.

That has what, precisely to do with riots and hooliganism The scum who've been kicking off have likely never even picked up a copy of the Qur'an

Sure, why not?

Some answers here.

Yup, just like the downfall of the Roman Empire...

Have to admit, I quite like that one, rather reminds me of this

Enjoy your trip

Personally speaking, I don't like the look of it... The dial looks cluttered, and the case looks like a Hublot-wannabe... Personally, I'd spend the money on something else, franken or otherwise

I was thinking the problem lies more with the parents & cultures than with the kids. Whipping errant cultures into shape & making it once again politically fashionable to be able to publicly describe cultural shortcomings would cure a whole host of societal problems.

Absolutely spot on. Personally, I blame the UK's shameful rate of underage and unwanted pregnancies, the result being, a generation of apathetic wasters with misplaced feelings of entitlement, or, as UK TV host Jeremy Kyle says, the issue is "Kids raising kids". There is a real lack of respect for authority/anyone in much of todays UK youths, and fifteen years of a system of nambypamby do-gooders, has resulted in these youths never being held accountable for their behaviour, and the results of that lack of discipline have now been made clear for the rest of the world to see...

It's already lot of 40 iPhones on London Graiglist for sell ...are they ( looters) moving toward the New Bond street ?

Rolex for 1K, without B&P ?

I can just see the eBay adverts now...

"Looted from a London store, so I'm passing the savings on to you!!!!"

The media here has been a bit fuzzy about what the catalyst was. I've read a few stories in the Sun (on-line) and I just don't understand. I think all of this stuff goes back to the lack of "spare the rod, spoil the child" that was used when I grew up. Little creeps nowadays know that about all they will get is a slap on the wrist so there is no fear of punishment to keep them in line. I don't care what libs think, the only thing that keeps some kids in line until they are actually old enough to understand is fear...

I think you're absolutely right there. The youths of the UK have been able to get away with too much for too long, and combining a generation of apathetic wastes of space with government cutbacks and no prospects, situations like these riots were just waiting to happen. I'm just hoping it gets resolved without the need to turn the UK into a Police State Today's news buzz-word: Criminality

I agree, J. People wouldn't pull half the [censored] they do if there were actual consequences that came as a result of their actions.

+1

I meant to say earlier, but that is one fine custom strap

Just what the hell is going on over there!!!???

Some wannabe gangsta got killed by the police last week (they shot first, although he was armed) and the scum of society have been using the opportunity since then to go looting some new trainers and flatscreen TVs

Stay safe, amigos

Absolutely fantastic project

Excellent work

Here's a franken I did for eton sometime back...

:thumbsupsmileyanim:

My favorite sub shot...

Wow, straight from Vulcan's Forge

sry off-topic , but what tattoo gun you use? Self made or?

Just a generic 'off the rack' Chinese machine purchased from a local studio, with 8 wrap coils, so I keep it set up as a liner Since taking that pic, I've rebuilt it and made some better 'coil stickers' for it I actually used a KII gauss meter on it while it was running the other day, and at the point where my watch would be on my wrist, the field was strong enough to light almost all the lights, so from now on, I only wear quartz while working for fear of magnetizing an automatic movement

PS I do normally bag the machine and clip cord, as well as having the glove over my watch whenever I work, but that would've defeated the object of the picture

A few to share...

Love this watch

Love this one's my favorite T!

Thanks I have to admit, it's still probably my favorite photo as well, even though the watch itself is nothing special If I recall, the ice was about an inch or so thick

Here're some of my favorite pics I have taken over the years

Thanks for looking

haha It was a leap of faith. The watch has survived showering (steam is notorious for finding flaws in your watch) so I had good feelings about the pool. Definately my point and shoot's strap was wrapped around my wrist!

Best way to go with testing, IMHO If it survives a trip under a faucet on full force and then a trip through the shower, then it's swim time

Trusted buyer list...

Probably safer to say a list of people who can't be trusted to deal reasonably with folks...

I'd just like to say that Ken is a complete gent to do business with, and if my financial circumstances had been healthier the past few years, I would have been buying a lot of stuff from him, as his products and service are first rate

hi, i want to buy this Tudor Submariner Ref. 91790 from the late 90`s

the serial is B898XXX, the seller says all parts are 100% gen and comes original on the watch!

The watch is not commercially replicated, so the worst that it could be would be a franken from 100% gen stock parts

Nice dial too

Aloha All,

#1. I’m in need of a point in the right direction for hand painting.

Not only the technique, but the sequence, tools needed to remove and replace.

Do you mean to completely strip the watch, or just to remove the hands once the case is already removed?

Aloha All,

#2 I would like to replace the all the gaskets on a Josh 1680 & PT 1665, who do I source these from? What about the gasket underneath the retaining ring?

I can't help you with that one...

#3 HE valve on the PT 1665, epoxy or ……….? I’d like to swim with it.

Your comments & guidance are welcomed and appreciated.

Regards

Depends on the internal structure... If it's a functional HE, then you could just leave it as it is, if it's only a cosmetic marking on the midcase, again, you could leave it as is, but if it is a complete cut-through and non-functional, then epoxy is the route many have taken

Awesome :good

I have the original purchase receipt for this one, $225 out the door in 1971

Even the good reps of that model cost more than that now

Ah good call about the colours.

In retrospect the yellow wasn't the best choice

It's a good color, just a case of using it properly
