yeah i heard you can freeze the sec hand at 6 and take out the extra gears for the chrono movement. That would leave you with essentially a basic movement. Sounds like a great idea to me.

take it to a jeweller and open it up. this guy sounds familar.. i think ive seen him on ebay also.

The color of the gen blue dial just cant be beat! Its sooooo beautiful! wear it well my friend!

happy holidays Rob and Jen and thanks for everything you have done for me, and for the community here at RWG!! Now im off to shovel my driveway... stupid Canadian snow haha Lonnie

ive always used metal polish.. like the kind you would use on your polished aluminum wheels. Works very well for light scratches.. you can sand out big scratches with diff grades of sandpaper and use polish after to make it look like new. Lots of people dont like plastic crystals becasue they scratch very easy but they also dont know how easy they are to repair!

watchbuff? haha

patron is a good choice and the last bottle i bought was $109... crazy hey. Gotta love all the canadian taxes And yes amazon is free shipping to most places in canada i believe. I remebered i ordered a few books years back and they didnt charge me. Alsoo if he has a major book store in his town like "chapters" you can order it and have it sent to his local store free of charge and wrapped as a gift and he wont even know what it is until its opened. Just another idea.. but im in for a donation for sure and happy holidays everyone. This is a great community to be part of!! cheers!! Lonnie

everyone has a different opinion on what this watch actually is. Looks like an MBW to me... can you post a pic of the serial number and model number thats stamped between the case lugs? that would answer a lot of questions perhaps?

sorry but thats not AR.. thats the purple tint they put on the older breitling reps so it looks like AR.. well it sorta looks like AR for a distance i guess. When you hear about the AR "peeling off" or coming off when you clean your watch, thats the purple tinted coating peeling off Everyone of your pictures show lots of glare.. if it was actual AR, it would look like the crystal wasnt even there.. the crystal 'visually disappears' with double AR. dizz

Thankyou By-Tor, I couldnt have said this better myself. I am so sorry to hear about all this bull-shyte. The Zigmeister you are so important to this forum and very important to people like me who are still learning about this hobby. Please dont forget about us. I have learned more from you than you could ever know and all my watches you have worked on are absolutely PERFECT! But i understand that we all need a break sometimes. DOnt let these fukken idiot troll losers get you down my friend. Im glad this loser was banned and trust me hes about half a step from getting banned on the RWC forum as well. Hes already acting up there too. Im so sorry but this really upsets me, and just so you know, from all of us at the other forum, RWC, please take care and happy holidays to you and your family. If there is anything that JB, D4M, me or any of the RWC staff can do, please let me know your friend Lonnie

even if they are true MBW's... why would you buy one from Josh for $398 + $30 shipping when you can get one quality controlled from TTK for $350 shipped? Who cares if the Cartel has a source, they are still $80 more than TTK. If TTK took paypal, then i would impulse buy a red 1680 right now!!

i have a pam127 fiddy and the crystal broke.. angus is sending me a new saphire crystal.. hopefully this swap will be as easy as it sounds

WOW im starting to look at the YM in a whole new light.. its starting to grow on me.

very nice work! Good job

i wondered what the heck was going on when i logged in! haha. Looks good!

wow and only $1600 for a Submariner lol and it comes with a "31 jewel chronograph movement" also haha

absolutely amazing work!!

Im just wondering how you butcher a screw so badly? It looks like he didnt have a screwdriver and used a kitchen knife of something...

wow its right in there hey? LOL I dont know what those rep makers do in China but over here in North America im sure they dont rub the movements all over the genitals during assembly... haha yikes!

HAHAHA

i bet i can guess who it was.... lol

congrats TRC!!!

Im jelous too!! Thats an amazing watch you have built!

read all the posts about people who just got thier new watches.. they always talk about their dealer. Thats the best way to get honest info about who your buying from.
