Hey, I'd say it's a pretty darn impressive first attempt!

I would guess gen bracelet also. My rep bracelet sure does look inadequate compared to the one in the pics anyhow!

avitt is your man. That Breit looks like it was blasted with a coarse media.

Nice! Do you wear one on each wrist?

Great googley moogley !

Well if they do rep it, hopefully they'll make it a lot smaller!

Definitely.

You definitely didn't get the crystal in the picture, but it is genuine (that O in Rolex is correct on the wax paper). If you want a flat one, they're available out there too, and you should get a full refund and shop elsewhere.

Here's what the game came down to in my eyes... The team that wanted the gold more won it. And my hat is off, and in awe, to Sid The Kid. Here's a guy with all kinds of hype surrounding him at age 22, and what does he do on stage in front of the whole world? He not only lives up to the hype, he exceeds it. It could have easily gone the other way for him after getting nothing but air on that late breakaway shot 1-1 with Miller, too. But he came through and now has both a gold medal and a Stanley Cup under his belt in less than a year. And, really if you look at it from an accomplishment standpoint, he's done more in his career by age 22 than the likes of Mario Lemieux had done at that point in theirs. Of course that doesn't translate to what he'll do for the rest of his career, but looking ahead for this kid I do think the sky is the limit...

Does anyone know the history of the fat font bezel inserts that are seen on some vintage pieces? Is there a particular serial range for which they're appropriate? Or were they randomly dispersed throughout Rolex history? Thanks in advance.

No, it has tritium...

vlydog, if you want mine I'll sell it to you. Brand new, never worn, never on a watch. I'll give you 15% off lonestarwatches.com price. :-)

Relume?

OK, you're right. The one I like happens to be the mark1 dial.... probably not the easiest to find. Hrm.

I think so too, alligoat... I just like the look of the smaller, crisper print on the earlier dial for some reason.

It also shows me just how good your DW dial is in its own right, W.

Don Cherry says Canada doesn't want to win, they *HAVE* to win. The pressure is on. The USA team has speed and endurance, and aren't intimidated by Canada's physicality. Couple that with, as By Tor says, the best goalie in the Olympic tournament, and the advantage goes to the USA. And as Mike Eruzione said, when you put a team on the ice that can skate with anyone, they're going to be there at the end of every game. USA in a tight one.

Love the DW and 16520! And, hey, you can't beat the sentimental value of the Palptona!!

Actually, I'm sure it's genuine... But for some reason I don't like the dial print. I think I'm going to hold out for one that looks like this: Such a big variation between dials!!

Hi all, Does anyone out there question the authenticity of this tritium 1665 dial? Thanks in advance!

You might want to upgrade to a more accurate Vietnam case if you're going to be housing genuine movement, dial and hands. And it will take the 1570/5 directly.

These are original and in tip top shape. Service hands generally come cheaper.

Gen hands (these were NOT cheap) ....
