  1. Ahh, I thought you had inadvertently answered my question -- about which version I should choose, as most authentic to the time period and 007 -- but no! Turns out Sean Connery wore this one in Dr. No, which will be my choice:

    This is actually the one that Connery wore in Dr. No...

    Unfortunately Silix's version not only has the depth in white, 200m does NOT equal 550ft. Also it has the numbers...not the dial markers as the one Connery wore.

    Kind of hard to justify spending so much on a bezel when the dial is so far off...

  2. Received my new UPO Swiss ETA from Ruby today. My first transaction with her and it went very well. Great communication, very fast delivery and an excellent price. Received it in about 5 days. She sent a pic prior to shipment as well. I was able to make sure there weren't any problems with the dial etc..

    I received it on a SS bracelet, but had a Silix rubber strap I have been waiting to put on it :)

  3. I'm having some trouble setting the time on my Noobmariner. If I pull the crown out to set time, then push it back in, it seems to get stuck in time set mode. Even if it is pushed in it will still move the hands.

    After a few tries pulling it in and out I can usually get it to go back to 'wind' mode and screw back onto the tube, but it is a pain trying to set the time to the second.

    Any ideas what it might be?

  4. I have a pretty cheap Sub rep that I am making small improvements to. I was using a Scotch bright on the bracelet this weekend because the band was very shiny and did not resemble SS at all.

    I cannot find any pictures that show me for sure if the case on a gen Submariner is polished to a reflective finish or if it has a dull SS finish to it? Or are there different finishes on different parts? Like side of the crown guards is polished, but the top is dull...

    Thanks!
