  1. Necro Bump. I'm gonna give my crown a try with vinegar Let's see!
  2. Hi xzhync, from distance it's just not possible to tell you what could be the case. It may be just that the movement needs a cleanup (so a service) or it may be that it is a very low quality one with unfinished parts, requiring a complete new movement. Consider that a new movement is around 120$ shipped (minimum) and a service of your one is around 180$ (minimum), so you should carefully evaluate what to do. I may suggest that, if the watch is a really good one that could interest people on the forum, you can try to sell it M2M providing to well explain the defect and accordingly lower down the price. Some horologist can be interested into its purchase.
  3. I use the same way, but I start with wet sandpaper grade 800/1000 then 1500 and final with 2000 (or even a 2500 spounge disc). Finally I use a profesisonal car polish (fine grain). Very important (that you haven't mentioned) is to protect with tape the rest of the case, especially if it is plated.
  4. By the way Ezio, when she'll see Ken's catalog, which is full of nice fashon bags and shoes, you'll regret to have spoken to her about this place
  5. Ehi, speak for yourself only Inside I'm 15! Sure!!! By the way... How old is she?
  6. This one is good, but the case is 3 or 4 mm larger than the gen:
  7. Well, when the IT posts were all under public government it was a disaster. Unfortunately here practically ALL public services (except, but not fully, the health system and, a bit, the school system) has been considered this way: - 75% people that want a working place where they can simply do nothing after being hired and be payed with none that can simply fire these dumbass out - 20% same like previous but friend of someone with power (politicians). These generally become managers, totally unworthy of their role, but getting huge money from our taxes. - 5% people willing to work but ending up in an environment composed by the upper 95% fu__ers, and therefore getting marginalized and frustrated like hell. And, the more south you go into Italy, the worse this situation is. I mean situations where you ask for an information to one of those guys who is openly reading a newspaper during working hours and getting back a reply like "Eeehhh, uff... we are not here to give information...". You know... Now the postal system is much more private and also works as a bank system, and it works also much better (at lease here around Milan area)
  8. Nope. UK Mike, shipped to Pseudonym (RWG bz member) to have it then reshipped to Italy as Silix doesn't directly transship Ah and, in my whole life, the only times I've had stolen things from postal service it has been with Royal mail. Never ever with Italian mail system.
  9. It's not meant to be strapped on the wrist
  10. What the heck are they doing in those damn customs???? More than 3 weeks there, waiting for God knows what! No notifications received from the addressee, no news from Parcelforce, nothing! I'm getting so frustrated...
  11. Eccome! E la cosa migliore è che sono qui per lavoro (VmWare world forum)
  12. Mine is the same, but I'm not [censored] of by that.
  13. Just take care about the hands size. They may be different.
  14. Go for an eta clone based Noob factory watch and I'll assure you will not regret I've some of them and they are damn good
  15. If it has subdials at 12, 9, 6 yes, it is a standard one.
  16. TudorBB in Barcellona hotel
  17. What is the difference with this?http://www.trusty-watch.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6&products_id=7506 St19 and Venus 75 are the same thing...
  18. It was actually my preferred one too
  19. I know 3 persons bewteen here and RWG.bz that could service it (most probably it's just dirty) but they may fear problems as you're a noob here and not a "VIP" (those that have upgraded their accounts and pay a small fee to be part of the forum, in order to support it). One is SSteel (and it's around here too), one is Joran on rwg,bz (not sure if he services also the chrono anyway) and another one is UK Watch Services (which is a trusted dealer on rwg.bz). Try contacting them, but, as I wrote, I can't assure they'll deal with you as you're not known around here.
  20. Thanks mates, grat info @ Hodinkee site! I'm planning to get one of them (intending manual handwind daytona, not necessarily a P. Newman) for Xmas. I really love their vintage aspect (expecially on a distressed leather strap!) In doubt on one of these 3. Any suggestion from the experts?
