Phalanges

Well hearing me speak it with Korean pronunciation and a southern accent will really mess you up.

No one ever knows what's going on around here... That's why it is so..much fun.

Numbers

Given that I only read a limited subset of Chinese as Hanmun, and haven't had any real practice in 25 years, I don't feel too bad about that.

Something like... Exciting week, just to tell you I was very surprised that this was not the real thing... I was actually not able to tell the difference from the real movement, but only just gone out of 400 goods, really looked genuine, few people should be able to tell.

Yes. We'll have to arrange a gtg sometime.

Mt. Baker near Jimi Hendrix park.

Yes. They are all the same, just worn out equip. Any sharper ones after fat font would just be new equip.

Sounds lovely.

The Pepsi insert looks Gen.

Crappy printing from worn out equipment is how fuzzy, fat number sub inserts were born.

The method behind inserts is complete different from dials, and you can find examples where several numbers touch the inside, or even outside. Not the first time I've mentioned this, and I'm not the only one, but it is a minority of 'experts' that recognize them for what they are. Most call them Mk 1s, and the sharper bezels Mk 2s, 3s and maybe 4s, but the reality is the sharper ones are older, and they get fatter as the equipment wore out. So they have it backwards.

Looks like you have quite the collection of parts already, enjoy your voyage.

What no comment on oversized rehaut engraving?

Where are you located?

Never forget...

A century ago it was the Swiss who were making [censored] 'replica' pocket watches with questionable sub-par movements, copying premium American pocket watches.

Technically, it is not Bamford designs that ruin a Rolex, it is the application of the design to a Rolex.

Those are a press fit. Usually using an appropriately sized punch from a staking tool set, by hand, to apply pressure evenly and avoid damage. You will need to adjust and regulate after. http://www.timekeeperforum.com/forum/threads/adjustment-and-regulation.21105/

Too bad no one saved a pic for posterity... Already gone.

No. It too blurred to be legible.

Will be home from university this weekend. I have all my watchmaking tools at home. Will upload new pics asap.
