Oh well it was worth a try

yeah thats possible.. seems weird.. or maybe a group of franken builders buying up gen parts.. i'd like to know though Lonnie

Lately i've been seeing a lot of weird usernames on ebay.. names like m***n i***l d***y Who are these people bidding on all these watches and parts? Or is this some sort of hidden username thing? Whats with the "***"? I was trying to buy a PAM strap and a gen rolex tube and these guys with names like this kept outbidding me Anyone know? Lonnie

Why dont you tell us how you really feel? haha i agree.. one day he'll get it.. someone will get him for what he's done. Lonnie

never had a problem with mine.. swimming, showering etc Lonnie

wow that looks great. You can really tell its got some wear and abuse Those are good pics for a camera phone! Lemme know if you ever want to sell it.. would make some good parts for projects. Lonnie

OH GOD PLEASE POST PICTURES!!!!!!!! I bet this watch is just beaten and worn... Please show us what it looks like Lonnie

Bump for new pics... Vintage box set... anchor was bought from an AD many years ago. LOnnie

I think your right? HA HA HA too much beer today LOL Lonnie

HAHA Q: Why is pirating so addictive? A: They say once ye lose yer first hand, ye get hooked!

I havent done any wrist shots yet... but i have this one on right now.. 1970 Gen Airking date But its too small so back to this one

I feel like i am in the frickin Twillight Zone or something. HAHA.. TTK was known for the worst communication is now gunna be known for the BEST communication!! I'm glad to see this TTK becasue i will now be ordering from you soon. Cheers Lonnie

My photo skills are brutal but i think i am gunna give this a shot anyways... haha Lonnie

yeah it will fit.. doesnt sound likes hes done one before. i was scared to death the first time i tried this haha Lonnie

it actually looks not too bad... not a color i would wear but the pink looks good on the PAM. Im sure im gunna get flamed for this.. haha

wow its getting MUCH to easy to buy an MBW these days.... my bank account is gunna hate me I just installed Skype.. toook about 5 min.. easy.. Lonnie

7000 registered users.. but how many active users (people who have logged in during the last 90 days for example) say people that log in at least once a week would be considered active users Probably a much smaller number.. I'm guessing VIPmembership probably around 10 percent (of active users) even though i am completely guessing here haha Lonnie

Did you guys know that today Sept 19 is "International Talk Like a Pirate Day" ?? hahah im serious... google it YAR! Lonnie

Very nice!! Nothing beats a good cigar Lonnie

that caseback is much better than mine.. yours doesnt say SHITINERLAND inside it like mine does ha ha ha Engraving outside looks a little thicker also... You will for sure need to swap in a gen tube if you want to install a gen crown. I am planning to order a 1680 from Paso soon.. i just got all the info from him today. His prices are pretty good and he has them in stock! Lonnie

You only need to install the Gen springbars on a case with the drilled lug holes. If you want to drill the lug holes through the case, or try to drill out a solid end link bracelet, then you better have the right tools and know a little about working with metal. Its not that simple unfortunatly. If you're not worried about the rehaut depth, then just mod your Noobmariner. Lonnie

The could prob make a decent looking watch if they just changed the dial and bezel insert.. "CLOWN-MASTER II" hahaha I'm sure they could make a cool dial if they tried. Lonnie

Wow good choice! Thats one of the most accurate super-reps there is out right now. With the ETA you will also get the anti reflictive (AR) coating on the crystal.. If you dont have the bluish AR anti glare coating then its an Asian Movement. You'll know in the first 5 sec if its got AR or not. If it has AR you will never have reflections on the crystal blocking you from seeing the time. I had a Chrono Avenger with no AR and i could barely see the dial half the time, it was really bad. Lonnie

I was gunna say to use one of these .... but your method works also Laz. haha

hello and welcome to the forum! If its a swiss movement then its probably an ETA brand movement that the rep watch manufacturers buy in bulk then put them into their watches. The new generations of Asian movements are getting pretty good. If you buy a submariner the Asian movement you get in there is actually almost as good as the swiss ETA at half the price. If i buy another noobmariner i will probably get the Asian version. If you are getting a chronograph then the new fast beat Asian 7750 movement isnt to bad either but not as good as the ETA version... and its $200-300 less than the ETA7750 There are a lot of rep dealers than charge you for swiss ETA and give you Asian ETA or WORSE yet, the piece of shyte $3 Chinese movements... yikes! This has been highly discussed recently on this forum... BUT avoid the Daytona sec@6 like the plague... trust me on this one... haha Which watch did you order and from what dealer?? Lonnie
