Dutchy

No idea. Mine was fine an hour ago.....

LOL, this thread has gone quite off topic Anyway, let's see that price Neil.

Guys guys guys........break it up.....dutchmeister (sir dutchmeister to you newbs) has entered the room....area....cave....thread.

As I mentioned in my Pm......fantastic.

Ooooooh........I like that. Screw Homework.....I can get a watch!!!!

Verey well said Euno.....especially that last part....now my signature. WIth credit to you of course!

I assume you have at least 20kg of watches and not a gram less....

I only read this now as well.....Neil, very sorry to hear. I'm glad you're back.

Its got an item number on it......for sale??

Beautiful setup, its gonna be great!.......but now.......imagine this: You're 18. Your only source of income is your monthly allowance which gets you through a a couple movies, and maybe dinner or such. Then, you live in a country which employs workers for 150-200 dollars a month, not week, month. Every package that is sent to you is opened by customs, postal workers and whoever else wants a peek....and when deemed of value (ex. ROLEX stamped anywhere) they will take it....even if its not valuable, just nice, or ugly, whatever....its free (or so they see it). Now......you have placed yourself in my shoes. Lol. I have to wait til college when I'm in Holland for safe transport of parts etc.....but even then.......since when does a college student have money?

A real part of Dutch (and German) history. Very interesting read, thanks for that.

Ah, didnt know that his prices were always higher. I kindly asked him for why his prices were higher and he said that he just wanted them that way, lol. Fair enough. Anyway, it would be interesting to see those crown guards done a little better...

LOL, VERY GOOD!

ONLY IN AMERICA: Only in America.....do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke. ! Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight. Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering. EVER WONDER .. Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin ? Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? ! Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?! Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Thanks for your insights Randy, fully agree with the time and hassle to get all the parts including shipping times/costs, etc etc etc and other possible factors that can go wrong. P.S. Been trying to contact you....PM box seems to be full.

Yep, we're all set! I like your views on the idea of making your own watch. But people like Sherrington (most recently) and many many many others have made their MBW's into Frankens by means of amongt others drilling cases, and crownguard adjustments, however also just inserts and crystals, which do not require much force.

Thanks TT

Of course, a perfect rep doesnt exist (although sherrington's is basically perfect). Furthermore, MBW can accept gen parts out of stock. That's why I want one. I dont want to screw up with trying to stamp in a genuine crystal, but rather have it just pop right in.....same goes for the insert, spring bars, crowns, tubes, etc.

Harder? F'in impossible for me, lol. Though that would be really neat!

EDITED by myself: Anyway, just odd pricing.....350 in regards to 460....for the difference you can buy a gen crystal already for teh watch.....

Absolutely amazing.....brilliant work......and GREAT format capturing in the photo. VERY creative and really aids in the comparison process.......thanks man for sharing.

Ok I know luckyyy has been deemed a scammer here by many (rightly so in some instances given the stories we've heard). But I was wondering about the prices. Luckyyy always asked 350 dollars for an MBW, 360 for a Vintage. Now I contacted George: 350 Euros, which I believe is like 460 dollars or something. Now, ok, YES, they can ask whatever they want in terms of pricing, and what /I've heard is that George always ships out ASAP and doesn't stay in teh dark (as according to some stories here). Anyway, is that right? Anyone else get a diff. price.....he said his prices are "unfortunately fixed". Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy to chat with and I'm not slagging his prices, I would agree with his probable motto of 'well if ya dont like it, dont get it', was just curious. Thanks guys..... By the way, you guys seen Sherrington's DRSD.....jesus......amazing.

If you shout out "he's a [censored] he's a [censored], look at him he's a [censored]", I dont think theres a way out......

Yep. Well done for resurrecting it, its a top thread!

Yea, the [censored] wanted you to sell it because: 1) You have a higher feedback - meaning more people will trust and bid. 2) If your account gets suspended, he has nothing to do with it. 3) You're selling it for him, so you're the one violating Rolexes laws.
