  1. Looks wonderful! Agreed with others' sentiments on cases; is there a decent modern 5512/5513 case for sale?
  2. One on the right seems to have more depth and detail in the printing style. The 'R' seems a bit more elegant...the tiny serifs on the small letters seem a bit more pronounced...all the letters seem a bit more raised. This could also be the light/the angle of course...as the left pic is more straight-on
  3. yep, that's for sure a french case...you can tell by the distinctive CGs.
  4. you gotta fine DavidsenJPN aka DSN. He was knocking them up years ago. there are also a few 'homage' and 'microbrand' versions of the vintage-style BPFF...but they cost more than reps!
  5. Yep, one can't use PayPal or eBay if you want to sell and avoid even bogus charges from customers. In short, PayPal is for buying, not selling.
  6. its too cold in Germany 10 months out of the year for the barefoot thing. while at the beach? or out in the woods? why not. in the city? nah. glass hurts when you step on it, and in Germany there's a lot of glass around in cities. i just smoke weed and hash to get my necessary hippie vibes. not as public as going barefoot in populated places, but that's also kinda the point for real tho, good luck + have fun, everyone I know who does this is pretty kind and friendly..so maybe you are too.
  7. oh man, please tell me you put a movement and dial back in that 'born from dragons' case !!!!
  8. I lost a Panerai once while surfing. Was on a NATO, it just went somewhere when I wiped out. (Head-high waves, and the board took a good chunk out of my left thumb when i was in the washing machine...it probably got cut off my wrist at that point, tbh.) Broke a JLC one time after laying down a scooter. Pothole bump got me after having a couple drinks with a conductor of a major orchestra. That was a mistake. Not since will i ever get on a motorcycle or scooter after having ANY alcohol AT ALL. Killed a couple more watches trying to work on them or mod them, but they were already dead. Oh yeah, they were reps. I'm waaaay too low on money to treat gens that way. Maybe one day i'll be like those gentleman drivers who wear their Pateks while they work on their own Ferraris or something... Till then if I'm doing something where there's a chance I could lose a digit or two I wear reps or Seiko.
  9. OP: haha, u just did some 'aging' ! 'vintagizing' ! i love how reps allow us all to actually use watches. I'm sorry, i've owned a couple vintage rollies, and i've never taken one up a glacier or even fly fishing or cycling on fire roads. I'm not rich enough to risk that kind of thing. Reps? I'll rock climb in them. nanuq: holy sh----- what a story. also: you have a 6536????????????
  10. that 'salt' on the subdial edges is unbelievable. so genlike and subtle.
  11. lets hear more about this dial. this is the best looking rep dial i've ever seen tbh
  12. most of the 21J watches are bulletproof and fine for work. i prefer the Tudor Black Bay as it flies under the radar compared to that watch brand with 'R' in the name everyone loves. If you like quartz, the Speedy Mark II is good for a chrono and the JLC Reverso is good for a dressy watch. but grab any $100 21j and you should be good.
  13. ^^^^ that dial is so nice. the tiny recessed subdials, the serifs in ''Daytona,'' the little lume balls....all very well done
  14. ^^^^ is this one of the new ones? Looks like a Yuki dial fitted?
  15. ^^^ I've never seen this watch with white lume! All the others I've seen have that bad fake yellow stuff. May I ask where you purchased the watch?
  16. ^^^ wow, it looks better than the Yuki!
  17. Where'd you get that dial, Mr. Cordell!!!?? So nice.
