Agreed - craft shop may have the dye as well. B

Ouch!

I saw the topic and had my response ready - but you beat me to it ;-) -B

dluddy, What does the front of that watch look like??? -B

Doing a little research on watches with the movement. Does anyone know much about this watch? I found this info site that has a picture of a similar watch: hXXp://www.antiquorum.com/html/vox/vox2004/vacheron.htm Anyway... -B

Thanks for the clarification re: Seagull (I have fixed the topic header). I also agree on the Moonwatch, but have read enough to believe the current version is nowhere as accurate as the previous. I do like the PAM - but requisite is that you have to be able to see the movement ;-) Keep 'em coming... -B

Every time I see a watch with the Lemania movement, I smile. I think I may need to add one to my collection. My understanding is that they are very dependable, and of course, great to look at. What is your favorite watch containing one of these movements? Just thought we could get a little chat going on this topic... Thanks, -B

Could that be my 3717??? As above, even if not, bummer... -B

Man - that is beautiful! -B

I recommend using the search button and looking for trustytime or Andrew. By and large, he has a very good reputation here. I have purchased from him, if there are issues, he will make it right - just keep talking with him. -B

I use an Oral B and have for years-one of the cheaper ones. My wife picked 1 up later and hers has a time built in-pretty nice. -B

Some of the recent 3717s have had stem issues. I am guessing that this is your problem. I sent mine back to my dealer and they replaced the stem with the (correct) longer one. I am guessing that this is your issues as well. If you have a trusted smith - it might be easier than sending back to ??? Hope that helps, -B

I have had mine since they came out - no issues at all. I agree though, I was concerned that the added GMT might affect the movement - has not to date... -B

Miss V, Hope you had fun shopping - I actually had to run a couple of errands this PM myself. BTW, who said anything about going to sleep??? Yes, it's been a long day... 'Nite, -B

Did it! Braved the cold (and I mean cold night) and got a new TV for the living room! 46 inch LCD - now the kids won't have to watch their cartoons on a broken, formerly color, TV. Anyone else? And yes! - where are the rep deals to tempt us??? -B

Great post! Sorry it took me a bit to get these pics together (and they still aren't up to board quality). Enjoy those 3717s... -B

Two thoughts here. VC Overseas - very classy, beautiful watch. Most importantly - it really doesn't matter anyway. Nobody will be looking at you. Nor should they be... Congrats! Getting married to my lovely bride was the smartest move I have ever made. -B

Has been on my list - I may need to look him up. VC is becoming a habit like that "P" thin you "others" talk about... -B

PM Sent - with offer... Damn it - just kidding, he shouldn't listen to one ;-) -B

What was I thinking???? -B

Per Ms. VB's request: My Highgear watch is no longer made but is the perfect activity watch. Definitely a back country timepiece. It has all the usual stuff, as well as a compass, altimeter, and barometric pressure reader. Oh, and it is in the water getting the water temp for me before we went for a canoe ride with the kids. The thing eats batteries like candy though... Later, -B

I had an Acura TL (had to sell it for a mini-van, man - that hurt) with a built in NAV and loved it. When I started driving my truck, I picked up a Garmin Nuvi. Having experienced both, go the portable route. They are cheaper, better, easier to upgrade, and transferable between cars (friends, rentals, you name it...). My vote - save the 1,200 (that's a nice laptop!) -B

I have thought about my reps and riding the motorcycle. I thought the vibrations may be an issue - have worn reps, have not had problems. But then again, no Harley for me... Working out/biking, always wear my Highgear digital... -B

There is a modded 177h for sale at repgeek. Give it a look - might be what you are looking for. -B

I'll step up and try to beat that dollar bid ;-) $40
