might have to get out the jewellers mallet to pushout the edge a little bit. The nice thing about a metal bracelet is it's maleability

thanks for the info! it's hard to see in the pic. Beautiful dial though!

wow.. that's a big crown! No idea. honestly no idea...

that's great! Nice blue bimmer.. and very nice watch. Very standoutish! wear it well!

His point is merely that you should do your hw. This place is the best source of information. Bad experiences from josh are few and far between. One thing is to have a problem with him. Another thing is to have a problem with a watch. Often, dealers are very open about their shipping policies. If a watch has a problem or develops a problem the best ones on the forum will try to fix it. And it appears as if josh is doing just that for you. I also find it a bit disconcerting that the same problem happened to two of your watches. In my 3 years time here on the forum, I don't recall reading about anyone's crown stem coming out, but that's not to say it's never happened. Just be careful and mindful of all things when buying a rep and especially in how you treat it. We're all pretty forgiving in this hobby and have all shared similar bad experiences. We live and we learn, sometimes it's easy to blame a dealer for the problems of a watch, but enterign this game has it's risks. Just take it all in stride and pic a dealer that will take care of you when things DO go wrong. Hope to see pics of the watches in question sometime! we love that kind of stuff here!

+1 Seems to be a slight bluish hue on that cyclops! very nice

that's great! Nice blue bimmer.. and very nice watch. Very standoutish! wear it well!

looks like a treasure box that drifted onshore of a deserted island! I love it! 10 points

It's lookin good. I honestly can't tell the watch has been modded.. i don't see the scratches or glue marks that you mentioned! at least according to your photos! Good work! Always nice to see ingenuity on the forum. DIY mods are always more meaningful! you get a 10 in my book!

update @valerian: Just read.. that Davidsen has sapphire crystals available for the fiddy. Send him an email and see if he's got any in stock.

very nice.. But what's the dial read after Swiss-T.... I can't quite make out the rest of it. are those numbers? they look blurry or cut off

interesante digo yo.. maybe the red color is more on point than I thought. Anyone pulled the trigger on this one yet? I need an AP.. but will probably hold out for a more elaborate model like montoya or barrichello once the funds build back up...

Glad to hear you got it fixed.. now you're just THAT more confident in working with your watch.. don't you love this game?

This is a great looking watch, I haven't seen many on here but now that you mention I guess Lanikai might have one.. he seems to have just about every great looking watch that exists.. Hey nikki you got any pics of yours?

So far we've got 12 people on the spanish forum plus you guys here on rwg. The list of interested folks is as follows so far: 1. Plaifender 2. petem (2) 3. BigE 4. Chudd 5. Paulw 6. Repwatch 7. Bosk 8. Nakortheblue 9. Rickhic 10. Z3k0 (2) 11. panerisiti(2) 12. jcrry (2 or 3) 13. Pabler 14. Lanikai (2 or more) We've definitely reached the minimum, with the spanish forum the order is currently at 30 crystals. Remember offshore can't find out pricing and more info till after the Feb 22 but keep the interest coming!

Could you find some info on the watch.. and post it Val? I think that the fiddy uses a bigger different size crystal than the 253 and 212 but i'm not sure. If it does use a different size crystal and is currently only available in mineral.. maybe we can find 19 other people on the forum that might be interested in hopping on board with you. But post some info just to be sure it is indeed different

not bad... what version is that? too lazy to click the link!

I'm way past due for work with zig... with lumers here in spain.. i just don't know if i'll ever make the jump and send my watch over the ocean!.. but with results like that.. i mean....

It'll be a while before you receive the watch since it chinese new years. be patient and post up those pics when you get it!

this is a vicious cycle.. this here rep world...

welcome home!

yes thewatchboys.com. A lot of people use them here. Good quality for the price
