Listening to some music while enjoying a bailey's hot chocolate by the fire..yummm..life is good!

can you believe that the previous owners of my house put a wall in front of that beautiful drystone?? i was pleasantly surprised when we ripped down the wall, like finding buried treasure

@Victoria - Thanks! The house was built in the late 30's by one of Frank Lloyd Wright's students - one of the main reasons I fell in love with the house

Nope, the 1 in those pictures is the stock day/dw..I'm waiting on my ETA's from watchpark.co.uk, they should be here anyday now..The stock dw's are actually really not that bad but yes they tend to be misaligned on some days

Yes, you are correct on most everything you mentioned..Coustaeu is 44mm, slevin is 42..Rotor stickers vs. engraved on the slevin..The AR on the SS slevin appears to be better (IMO) than the coustaeu AR..

Here's mine on a genuine rubber strap

on SS

The slevin is extremely well made..Almost identical in every aspect to the genuine..Only thing it needs is the ETA day/dw's and than they are virtually indistinguishable from the genuine article

Easy solution...GET A MAC!

just got my new pilot band professionally brushed

Today, my gen blackbird

Tomorrow, slevin on genuine rubber strap

Just picked up my genuine iwc rubber strap from my AD, i dont know how it compares to the rep but i love it

and i also had my new pilot bracelet brushed and very happy with the results

Vintage Datejust Prez on folded link jubilee..Handed down from my father so it holds a very special place in my heart

WOW, you are truley an artist! Looks great

Thanks friend! Hehe My dog hates the vet..She shakes and gives the vetenerain a very hard time. It took me awhile to get the watch to stay on her neck while I took the picture, and I actually just replaced her old collar with some bling bling coach so she looks a bit more feminine. For people who dont own dogs they are really missing out. The unconditional love is really an amazing thing, and when im gone for 20 minutes she greets me as if I were gone for weeks. When i'm having a bad day, I know I can always count on her to cheer me up

Couldnt agree more Dani..I really hate all the bad press pitbulls have gotten recently..My pit is the sweetest thing ever and she wouldnt harm a fly, unless somone is trying to attack me or something like that (luckily i've never been in that situation before) but i would imagine she would take a bullet for me if it were to ever come down to that... or if i'm petting another dog she gets very jelous and protective..She's my wittle baby

WOW Lani!! Those are some incredibly cute pups!

Freddy's right..My gen folded link jubilee pulls hairs out like crazy and for that reason it doesn't get the wrist time it deserves

Yes its a genuine bracelet. What exactly do you mean by re-etch the lines anton? (see pm so we dont have to go back and forth and ruin this great thread )

should I brush the bracelet per the original blackbird specs?

still lovin my blackbird

should I brush the bracelet?

Lookin' good mate..Can you post some head on pics of the dial?

Oh, right on..It is going to look sick in that chrono avenger please post pics when its in

heres mine

and heres my gen for comparison

Looks great takashi! But why don't you just replace it with a ETA dw? It's the same the gen uses

Its not necessarily for women but its the 41mm version instead of the bigger 44m version..I know a few men who wear the smaller 41mm big bang so its not strictly a womens watch, but it certainly looks better on women wrist because of the smaller size

Apparently Hublot is doing a whole line of different colors..Red,green,orange,blue..etc..I can't imagine why there doing it because i'm sure they will all be as ugly as the orange carrot

I guarantee those orange tanned idiots are from Long Island..This is part of the reason I moved north, to escape those douchbags

Oh boy, with the volcano out, the B&R, Hublot is jumping on the orange bandwagon...Hideous if you ask me, they call it the "Orange Carrot"

And heres another new one, the "Aero Bang"..A little bit better

Nope doesn't look wierd, just looks like normal patina which happens with age, it's an old bond smp so looks good i'd say go for it, the seller looks very legit, look at his feedback..but it maybe a redial? lets wait for the omega experts
