Quick update on the progress. The bracelet is somewhere between the PNW and China on its way to MY for a full restoration. Case is in NC getting engraved and everything else is with Dbane waiting patiently to be assembled. I was hoping to have this done before a long overdue vacation in the middle of May, but looks like we may be pressed to reach that goal. Regardless I cannot wait to see this baby assembled.

This keeps getting better. Excellent work.

Hey nice work here. Looks great. I agree with others the aging on the insert turned out excellent. A rivet bracelet would definitely be in order.

Very interesting information here. Thanks for posting it. I often wondered why my lume did not glow like some of the pics I see--even the pieces that were relumed by a pro...... Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

No kids here[emoji106]. So opens up options. You are not nuts. If you like driving, top down cruising is the best. Handles great with the Quattro. Goes well in the snow which is why I switched to Audi. Drop top for most of the year and Quattro for the mountains which I drive frequently. She is heavy at 5300 pounds so rides quiet and smooth like a large sedan. I had a 2010 but they made some improvements on the 2015 so I special ordered this one. It is really a 2 seater. Back seats are for looks only. My seat is pressed on the back seat. I am 6'3" but they really are not usable. Best feature is the selectable car control which allows you to change magnetic ride, exhaust sound, steering and shift points. Go from dynamic to comfort with a touch of a button. My options were somewhat limited in the convertible all wheel drive market. Only a couple to choose from. In the end it was this or a Porsche. Golf clubs fit in the Audi even with the top down so that was the clincher.

Funny, I am actually a Corvette guy. Mostly built old ones but I had a c5 and a c6 also. My all time favorite cars. Got tired of having/maintaining two cars so compromised with audi a few years back and have stayed with them. My wife has a wager I will give in and get another 60's Vette this summer[emoji322] I love the blue. Beautiful car. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

^^^ agreed 100%. Matt is a great guy and always easy to deal with. Truly one of the good guys and one that can be trusted completely. He has built me a bunch of watches and we communicate frequently; he is always friendly and professional. One of my favorite people on any forum. Pretty sad that some asshat is trying to scam him. Terrible situation especially if there are no records to support the case. I hope a fair resolution presents itself. There have been rare cases on other forums where even with a PP gift, PP has issued refunds. So that is not even a guarantee that you will not get scammed. Pretty much limits who I will deal with moving forward. I will do anything I can to try and help, good luck Matt.

Casual Friday @cc and dbane, you guys are killing me with those beautiful Big Crown shots. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

Love these. Matt recently built my wife a silver dialed late 60's 1002. I think he used gen Tudor hands. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

Thanks for posting it. I believe you are correct as I was contacted by other members looking for a 1030. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

Damn, that would have saved me a bunch of money. I was looking for one for a while and this is well priced. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

Beautiful car. Worth the effort and wait time. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

Wholly smokes, that is awesome. I wonder what that weighs? Probably next to nothing. I could wear that playing golf. Wait, I would have to sell some vital organs to afford that. You think you can play golf without kidneys and lungs???
