Cool, those ones will fit without drilling?

The spring bars that came with my Sub LV aren't very substantial, they seem quite flimsy.

Would these ones be a suitable replacement?

Ta.

No.....ex P.I. !

Drop me a note about the wirelesses, I may be interested.

Yes...I'm just going home to be Santa......and sort out some more business......I've got masses of electronic gear that I need to get shot of....scanners.....UHF/VHF transmitters...laser listeners......hi-fi gear.....DVD's and Laserdiscs to pack over here....too much all at once.......need to do it in stages....!

qrz?

You a radio ham, Neil?

Ummm......why did this thread get a one star rating?......Awesome post

Because there's some idiot who thinks it's funny to rate threads at one star. *sigh*

I much prefer Neil's photography.

Although seeing the things he photographs makes me want to spend money, which is the exact reason they're like they are! *must resist*

Well it's the first time I've seen it in over a year of rep forum reading.

Very interesting, thanks..

I get it occasionally with both FF and IE, it's just the page has part loaded.

*refresh*

Sorted.

It's gone, removed.

I'd love it and I expressed an interest but sudden expense has hit me (MOT, tax, insurance, windscreen and alternator all at the same time) so I'm sorry but I can't join in however much I'd like to

Good deal guys... Enjoy the watches, I'm jealous!

I have. The Tag Link Chrono on the strength of By-Tor's review.

Nobody?

I did before I posted, not a one there

Plenty of TRLs, no holograms.

Damnit

*must resist*

I also need an extra link as the watch can only be sized up to 7 1/2 inches.

Good point, I'd need an extra inch.

Stop laughing at the back

I'm after a single Rollie hologram sticker for my Sub LV. It came with one on but I took it off and now I want to put one back on again. The bracelet rubbing against the back has scratched it a bit and I'd like to just cover that up and be more careful in future.

Anyone know of any of our dealers who would have such a thing (this is to save me emailing every single one in hope), or does anyone have one spare I could buy?

A TRL sticker to put over the top for protection would rock as well

$180 would be great and I'd be in.

Indeed Oliver. I think it's really only needed if there are stiff links. I'll do the other half of my bracelet either this evening or over the next couple of days, you know what's it's for

Yesterday I cleaned one half of my Sub bracelet with Autosol, washed it thoroughly with soap and hot water, dried it then put some Napier gun oil in a bag and worked it through each link before leaving it for about 15 minutes. Again washed it all off with soap and hot water.

It looks great but it wasn't stiff at all to start with so I don't really know that there's much difference to the feel. The words 'silky smooth' are used a lot but I'm not sure I buy in to that.

The second half of the bracelet does have a couple of slightly stuff links. I'll see if it feels any better after treatment.

I've often wondered, yes people say it makes it 'silky smooth', but if the oil is full washed off afterwards with very hot water and soap, what's the point of putting the oil on?

Holy [censored], you don't realise how dirty these things are.

Autosol.

Two links cleaned.

Hmm, OK. Investigation shows it should be brushed so that kinda means I can't use Cape Cod really without having to rebrush. I've got some Autosol polish that might work.

OK, I'm about to clean, polish, oil my first bracelet and it's the one from my LV Sub but I'm a little bit confused.

The bracelet looks dull as though it should be polished and shiny, but it also looks very slightly brushed as well, but it's not obvious.

So, should I just go all out for maximum shineyness or what?

OK, constructive criticism.

Background music is bad. I listen to podcasts mainly in the car and to have music playing while you're talking really makes it difficult to hear. Plus your actual audio is quite tinny and low volume as well compared to other podcasts I subscribe to.

Technical details are very important. Use a good microphone. Speak clearly, slowly and don't mumble. A good thing is that you're not mumbling which a lot of people tend to do, they start by speaking loud and clear but drift off and get quieter.

My biggest criticism really is the quality of the audio, the actual content is good. Lose the background music (I had to turn the volume up high to hear you and when the music faded up, I had to quickly reach for the volume).

And thanks for what you've gone, great to hear something about reps and I look forward to more of them.

:eek: so you had 50?
