    It hasn't left my wrist, I don't shower with it on, but it's good to 100ft, so I suppose I could

    Same with me, Grandfather had a Datejust, gave it to my father who gave it to me. Then I expanded into other watches and fell in love with Submariners, particularly vintage models and just finished this:

    I don't know, something about Invicta watches just makes my soul die a little bit each time I see them. Really dislike the brand, how the company is run, their pricing schema and over-all goofy designs. This is one of their better looking watches for sure, and a decent homage, but something about it just really still bothers me... just being honest.

    OMG ROLEX IS THE BESTEST EVER WATCH MADE!

    I will build one of these - I was considering doing a proper big-crown build but these fascinate me much much more.
  13. 508-Fanatic
    I feel much the same!
  14. 508-Fanatic
    Holy crap, now those are MACRO shots!!!
  15. 508-Fanatic
    $260 sounds about right... we'll have to keep an eye on that.

    Here's a few more shots before it goes back together

    The mid-case arrived today from Dbane - absolutely lovely work all the way around. Very pleased, a real gentleman and craftsman. I am excited to cobble it all back together this week! I'll post detailed pictures when it's all back together and a complete build-sheet.
  18. 508-Fanatic
    Fantastic ^

    Added a couple 6538 shots. The depth reading is blurry, which is odd because it wasn't on the phone.

    Here's the clasp on a gen 9315 bracelet, it's beatup and been repaired but holds. Also a couple IWC 5002 shots.

    I bought an Olloclip, thread here Having good luck with it so far! Neat gadget.
  22. 508-Fanatic
    Took these today, just starting to experiment with this neat little gadget. Here it for iPhone 5S
  23. 508-Fanatic
    So excited to get this thing all back together. Here's another shot from DBane with crown in and the strap I ordered from Worn and Wound.

    Looks like ol' Jacob the Jeweler hired a real watchmaker. His crap has been a joke in the watch industry for over a decade, found on the wrist of rappers and such, all bling'd out with terrible movements. Ice-T had one, he said on Cribs awhile back that the thing actually just stopped telling time, but he still liked wearing it "cuz it shiiiiines." So silly.

    Dropped a genuine Rolex Datejust on the concrete while remarking to a friend about how well made they were... $800 in parts/ repairs later... karma.
