  1. Yes and it looks like she is wearing a TT sub.
  2. T, great to see others are experiencing the quality and beauty of your DLC.
  3. Absolutely KB. Can anyone identify the sub?
  4. With all the buzz...couldn't resist to wear this one I'm buzzed!
  5. Nobody is using Tritium to re-lume dials nowadays right? If I want the white color on the dial, is Luminova my only choice? @Lani or Ubi... are the hands on Lani's sub Tritium or Luminova?
  6. Thank you so much to all who replied. I am certainly leaning all white at this point. This would be C1 right?
  7. Set your sights high, be persistent and eventually good things will come your way. A little luck and good friends are also a winning combination. Well it looks like the planets have come together for me. I was smitten with the Tudor snowflake from the moment I laid eyes on TMG's gen in a wrist check thread just after I joined RWG. With all the current buzz around this beauty and with the likes of Ubi, Lani and Stephane strutting there stuff, I have no choice. It is time to give in. I was lucky enough to score a set of NOS lumi hands from the bay. Good fortune also came my way a short time later when I pinged Lani and asked if he would consider selling a dial that once belonged to Ubi. A trade deal was worked out and now the dial resides with me. If it were not for the good will of both Ubi and Lani this dream of mine would have still been in my pipe. I need the help of the RWG community. Both Ubi and Lani have weighed in with their opinions now I would like to hear what the rest of you have to say. I have to make a decision on how to lume the dial and hands. First I must say, I am not a big fan of the lume that shows a lot of age with the deep rusty color. I am more a fan of a light cream or ivory vintage lume like the dial of my 1665 or on this 5517 dial. It almost seems like a crime to desrtoy the naturally aged indexes on the dial I will be using... So what's a guy to do? As I see it there are only 3 choices. 1) Leave the dial alone and re-lume the hands to match the dial. 2) Re-lume the dial in white to match the hands. 3) Re-lume both the hands and dial in my favorite creamy tone. Your help please.
  8. It sure is a wonderful feeling when those little annoyances get straightened out. It is also refreshing to work with someone who is a perfectionist and who performs quality work and provides superior service. You watch looks great!
  9. [ Some week you got going there Lani. Awesome trio!
  10. Switched over to the 1665 for this evening. Going to start the work week with it too.
  11. FF21 for FD Happy Father's Day!
  12. I agree with TeeJay saw a stunning RG Hamilton on a gent the other day with a reddish brown gator strap attached... beautiful combo
  13. Absolutely gorgeous tmg. I don't know how I miss this thread.
  14. Nice pick-up. It seems to be in great shape despite its age. Does this model have the alternating red/black date wheel? Wear it in good health.
  15. Not only a great watch and strap combination but an excellent photo as well. Bravo ss!
  16. Thank you Sixx! There by the generosity of Lani and Ubi go I...
  17. Red, Both Stephane and Ubi have given you very detailed and concise direction. The only thing I might add would be to look for an already modified MBK/MBW 5512 or 5513 in the sales forum. If you are lucky, this piece will already come with a lot of the modifications that Ubi explained. You will just need the Tudor dial and hands and you good to go.
  18. Lovin' this watch and strap combo Ubi
