Good stuff, Marty.

Back in black! Hey, if there is one watch that you always find yourself gravitating to, why not go gen? Enjoy!

How about teeth whitening solution? Also, try using polishing clothes to even things out.

Very nice and educational. Bear poo isn't how I would have pictured it... Is that a normal example, or do you think this came out of a constipated bear?

The top one looks better to me - most like my gen. And better than my V1 caseback looked, I think.

Actually I'm fine with the case and plexi as is. You'll find examples in the wild looking good like that... but most examples of old rivet bracelets definitely show wear and tear.

Top one looks like my gen caseback, and unlike my V1 rep caseback.

Fantastic piece. It really looks the part. Maybe I'd suggest roughing up the bracelet a bit and giving it some stretch. I think it just looks too cherry for a rivet. But that MKI dial is the nuts!! Gorgeous!!

Right. The sales post should be specific. "$100 net to me" means that I, as the seller, will receive exactly $100 after all expenses (Ebay, shipping, etc). It doesn't turn me off, though, anymore than simply asking $110 for the same item with no mention of expenses would. I agree with kbh, though. No gift payments to unknown sellers.

Well you can stop obsessing because you've obtained perfection, R!!! That's a gorgeous shot of the brushed silver DW which itself is to die for!! I also like how I can see the beginning of the 17 in the DW. THAT is vintage through and through!

Yep, great tip. It's been mentioned before, and is definitely worth repeating. Nice franken you got there too, BTW. Which movement did you use?

I think the gen cyclops does have AR. But the gen cyclops is (probably) sapphire, whereas the rep is plastic. So even AR on the plastic isn't the same as gen. But better than nothing. Definitely no AR on the gen crystal. However I'm very tempted to do single AR anyhow on the crystal, which is hardly noticeable but does make a bit of a difference.

I've got a gen silver DJ dial that I'd let go much cheaper than that EBay dial, if you need it.

Errrr... I stand corrected: "Faux Split Seconds"

Hmmm... double asian chrono. Sounds like double trouble to me. Looks like they did a good job aesthetically though!

No

That's going to come in handy! I can't figure out how to use the new forum, so imagine an emoticon of a guy with two thumbs up here.

Well, I think I've decided to keep it.

Nice, B. Very purdy bracelet there! Are you using O'Frei pushers? Me, I've been wearing this all week...

These bezel screws look pretty good. You could sell this one to me and get your diver!

Nice work T.... boldly going...

Those are nice things. And I can't see why someone would have an issue with your guns. They are good guns! PS - How is the shedding with the Golden-Doodles?

Nice... I have a pair of very similar Allen-Edmonds. Take a look at the Allen Edmonds belts, such as this one:

That's a handsome dial!
