  1. @LifeTrekker to minimise Customs risks it is doing Europe as a block, since we are all in the same Customs area. Then probably CONUS next, then maybe Asia or who knows. It was very careful selected for it’s handsome looks and being Quartz is a bonus considering how much of the postal system it has seen already. Stick around and maybe it will get to see North country snow. In the mean time you can always post the wristies you can’t post elsewhere? Alternatively the genuine watch is a steal at only $85,000
  2. Did you see @docthor write up about his pair of slim 7750s?
  3. Really? Oh dear that doesn’t leave many options does it? I thought 1655 and 1675had the same spec mid case, is this a peculiarly of the the particular rep then
  4. Vietman is where you need to look my friend http://vintagewatchesmq.com/minhquy/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1370&category_id=146&keyword=Dials&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 For example
  5. I hit the gym this afternoon and as usual it as Polish rap for the most part Cooking pasta for dinner I listened to While eating dinner this was playing Nothing if not catholic in my musical taste
  6. Does Getat still give anyone nightmares? Four and a half months!
  7. Parnis use this skeleton 6497 in some models, it could be worth seeking one out Alternatively you could buy the movement and put or have it put in a Pam case with a display back
  8. Hello and welcome to our community
  9. Hello brother. Good to see you here. I will dig out a 6538 build thread by our brother Dbane and send it you. Believe me it is unreal Here you go Talk about grail watches, that is mine. I want it more than I want a genuine 6538
  10. I’m very fond of old Omegas and have a few. The 561 is a beautiful movement, I’ve always liked the rose gold finish and the shape of the rotor. The case back looks genuine to me, but wrong period. I would have expected a sixties model to have more of a 3D observatory and that centre piece in gold, but why the hell would someone refinish the inside? You are a man of great integrity, most would have no hesitation in banging that on eBay as all genuine Old Connies are amazing value IMO
  11. Invest in a sticky ball from eBay. They are only a couple of Dollars and open case backs surprisingly well
  12. Ah, welcome to the thread Bart, I’m sure we have enough music heads to keep this thread running and running. You should do a write up on your HiFi as well, I love to read stuff like that.
  13. What do you listen on? Are you a vintage audio and vinyl freak. There are a few of those here.
  14. Hello and welcome to the forum. A tiny island in Asia, doesn’t sound near any of the Watch makers I know. I have heard of people putting a tiny bit of grease on the rotor bearing. I’ve heard others say it has no great effect. Hopefully others will have more direct experience. I think with care, you could probably do it yourself. @Legend any suggestions on a Singaporean watchmaker brother?
  15. I wouldn’t touch either. I have a real thing for holes in the lume on hands and as the big guy says, it’s hard to reproduce convincingly
  16. When you buy your first lume kit, you will be able to fill the 12 marker too. It ain’t a big job to repaint the black minute marks. Boom! job done.
  17. Death metal is my preferred listening when I’m cooking Sunday dinner or a fancy meal
  18. Prog rock gets a good amount of airtime in my ivory tower. Pictures at an exhibition and Fanfare for the common man. As well as Jethro Tull, which is either Folk prog or Prog folk (Spinal Tap oblique reference). Number one girlfriend likes Focus. Hocus Pocus greatly amused all the kids when they were small.
  19. Send him a PM mate, J is an old school gentleman, a talented machinist and a tight-wad
  20. I’ve just dug out the Omega, that huge Watch next to it is a standard Cartel. In case you are wondering, yes it is absolutely a men’s model.
  21. I like vintage watches and have girlie wrists, my sweet spot is 36 - 40mm. I have an Omega I picked up a few years ago, solid rose gold case and very pretty, but feels too small at 30mm. I have a small collection of military watches and some of the early ones are tiny by modern standards. I have three working WWI trench watches and some parts and projects. By random chance I have two the same and of that pair the one in less good condition gets fairly regular wrist time. Large, I’ve grown to like 44mm Pams, I have a couple at 47, but feel a bit self conscious in them. I have a B-uhr homage. 55mm. Even the strap is so big, I could probably wear it around my thigh. It was designed to go over gauntlets though.
  22. If you are serious I could put you in touch with guys who could do the dial. Here to enable ?
