  1. Hmmm, Im a fairly techincally proficient guy. I cant see why I couldnt try this! But if I did manage to screw it up, id REALLY be pi55ed at myself! Anyone know what part #'s I should use to order a new crown/tube/stem? Thanks! Dylan
  2. Can I order gen parts from ofrei, and have them installed? Thanks! D
  3. Just got it, second hand, from a member on here and already I have problems. I just looked down at it, on my wrist, and it had stopped! I shook it a bit, and nothing. So I unscrewed the crown to manually wind it, still nada. But in the process of screwing it back in....bam, it STRIPPED! Being [censored]/disappointed, I rapped it firmly on my palm to get it ticking...and it did. I can screw the crown one turn to keep it in barely, but its F***ed. What are my options? Can I upgrade to gen parts? Thanks! Dylan
  4. Recently aquired Omega SMP Chrono! In your face! lol Regards, D
  5. Ive vintagized 3 diff subs. One method was to take an empty plastic peanut butter jar (cleaned or not...lol), fill 1/3 to 1/2 way with pennies, throw in the watch, and shake away. Checking every 30 sec. On my 3rd vintagizing project I was lucky enough to have an unrestored 5512 to "copy" off of. I used a few methods, but a good start is the penny method. If you get unhappy with any markings on the acrylic crystal, take 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper and wet sand them out. Then with firm pressure, rub toothpaste back and forth(on a wash cloth) and watch it turn clear. D
  6. Hmmm, I always just used olive oil. Not really to coat it, but to fill the little clangy gaps in between the metal. Gives them a MUCH better feel/sound. I would imagine that those concerned with using potentially harsh chems, and having them seep into their skin, could use a bees wax type wax. D

  8. I have a handgun. It saved the lives of myself and my girlfriend at the time (about 3 years ago). There was a carload of young gang-type punks. 2 charged toward us, I drew my weapon. Aimed, having full willingness but no desire, to fire. They took off. We were/are alive, and she is unraped. What would TTK have done? I mean honestly. Arrows werent designed to kill? What an idiotic double standard. The blanket Anti-American bullsh*t from "TTK" is the only thing about this thread that bothered me. I would tell him to go kill himself, but he'd have to beat himself to death with a sharp pillow...and that would just take too long. I have friends in the UK, and even without that being the case, Id never be so ignorant/arrogant as to blanketly label a countrys occupants. I chopped one of my favorite quotes a bit to fit here: 'Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.'

  13. Guess we cant play it that way, like we used to? Admin? Thanks, D
  14. Wow, talk about bang for the buck! Wear it in good health. D
  15. Is this a problem anyone else has, in reverse? Am I alone on this one? Just curious. Thanks, D
  16. No, the answers were educated. Its the question that was......well, nevermind. We just get tired of lazy people. We were all there at one point though. All the best, at least you made it here! D
  17. You forgot to mention how AMAZING the bezel feels/sounds when rotated! The most solid rep bezel Ive ever had/turned. Out of sight! Thanks, D
