Does anyone else get annoyed with the SLIGHTLY off-center hour marker lume dots on the face of their SOH? I have discussed in brief a few times, and people have said that there;s really not much that can be done because they are so small, but I have been considering either having The Zigmeister give it a better shot, or asking for a better dial from Josh. I'm sorry i have no camera. --See my 'i neecd a camera" post in photography...... Here are some links though, and it looks like most are just a little off. http://www.rwg.cc/members/SuperOcean-HERIT...OH%2C+heritage) http://www.rwg.cc/members/beautiful-little...OH%2C+heritage) I really wish i could get a gen dial, but i guess nobody has one because this is such a cheap GEN

I Love my SOH black from Josh. I did a ton of research before I bought it, and I wouldn't even give the omega's a second look. They just aren't good looking watches in my opinion, and the look like they fit terrible. Mine fits great on my wrist, is big and cool, but not gaudy. I love it

I am thinking about one of these; I should say I'm in the looking phase, actually. How long will one of these last without scratching, though? It would show stainless underneath if it scratched, right? I think that would be a deal breaker for me. Speaking of PVD, if anyone has an ajoesmith BR 03-92 they are thinking of getting rid of...... I'll take it :):)

Ive been doing a ridiculous amount of research on cameras on the internet, and realized one of the main reasons i wanted one was to photograph my watch. I have no idea what kind of specs are required to take such detailed, up close pics, though. So Im gonna ask for help picking out a camera. I'm either gonna go for a cheap point and shoot, or shell out twice as much for one with manual controls and hella zoom. I want one I can play around with some, but know very little about photography at this point still. Here are my cohoices: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=c...3170#ps-sellers http://www.google.com/products?q=canon+sd770 http://www.google.com/products?q=canon+sd890 http://www.google.com/products?q=canon+sd880 http://www.google.com/products?q=canon+sx110 What i really cant decide is if I will be happy with the cheapest one, or if I really should go for the one thats twice the price. I'm really strapped for cash right now or it would be a quick decision.....

Oh and can I Please, Please, Please, Please, Please get dibs on your 029?????? I would settle for your 104..... I bet you have an Ingy in the box, too. I'd settle for that. Or if by some chance under the sun you have and ajoesmith B&R 03 PVD????? Or an MBW modern seadweller???? i just read how pathetic that sounds.... but seriously....

Seriously, Lani, you have to take a pic of the whole collection first.

No doubt. White dials are classic and sophisticated. They can be a little boring on sport watches. EG I like the black face EXP 2 more than the white one. I am surprised that the white dial Ingy isn't more popular. If anyone knows why this is, feel free to fill me in...

I was just randomly thinking i want a sub with date, but without the cyclops. I guess this is basically a seadweller, but the case would be a little thinner. But....if I put a superdome on a sub, that would probably defeat the purpose of the thinner case. So should I spring for an old seadweller, or maybe try to get a sub with a superdome? I have no idea the dimensions and specifications of these, for the record, but I did search for a while and came up with nothing. Any help? Also, it would probably be cheaper to just get the seadweller than a sub and change the crystal, huh?

I am surprised there aren't more Graham's on here, and more PAM's for that matter. I am debating between a 40 and a 44 mm PAM at the moment. I am worried that the 44mms won't be likeable very long. Doesn't the crown guard dig into the wrist?.... I have a SOH and for a big watch it's really comfortable, especially with thte curved lugs. I've also read alot of people find it way more comfortable than the PO. It's a little heavy, though, even on my 7 3/8wrist.

I got it and sized it a couple days ago!!!! I love it. I think it's funny how long it took Lani to figure out the size adjustment :) boomer sooner

WOW. I haven't really liked BCEs but this is very nice. Should be pretty doable right?

My guess is someone has asked this before, but I'm wondering opinions on a guy wearing a smaller PAM. I am not into the large watches that are so popular right now. I think they look awesome, but I wonder about how long I would like one, and so I am hesitant to pay for a good rep of one. Granted if I had unlimited cash I would spring for a well modded 500+ 44mm, but as it stands right now, that won't happen any time soon. I have been considering a smaller version, though, thingking it would be a longer investment. Any thoughts?

:)

do a search. we have talked about this alot. a gen strap will set you back hundreds, and a gen buckle the same. you can get used ones on ebay. the single deployants are uncomfortable IMHO. I haven't gotten a double deployant yet, but i plan on it. Breitling only makes the single deployant that I know of. there are links on the board to some sites for good straps and buckles. you can get a replacement leather strap that's not gen breitling but as nice for much cheaper. good luck

I find when i bring it up and talk about it for a minute, people are interested just because I know about it and most people don't . I told some friends from work that I am building a watch from parts bought on the internet and two guys brought it up again at two different times. some people find it more interesting than others, but once i get into it more than just "i have a cool watch" or "that guy has a nice watch" and my friends see that it's a hobby i know something about, theyre more than willing to chat about it, and like i said, some find it pretty cool

Does anyone know if anyone has repped the GMT-II Diamond bezel yet. Or does nyone have a diamond encrusted band they will trade me. Which dealers can I get these from??? http://www.rolex.com/en/#/en/xml/collectio...=M116759SA-0002

s*** lani your collection never ceases to amaze me...

Damn thanks for the write up. Very cool.

ordered mine today. hope it gets here by 2009.

Yeah, I guess I sounded a little brash, but here's the thing. If there were multiple flaws, like the CG's on the MBW's, terribly inaccurate face, bad crown, stickers on rotors...etc... on a rep that I loved, I would still go for it and get started modding it. The rehaut is not fixable, though. Am I wrong?

@ delta. I'm actually almost laughing; I cant find a pic of the helium valve on the gen a n y where.... I think you are right, though. In all the dial shots of the pvd one, you can see the orange helium valve. On all the SS ones, you can't see orange , but it does look like a black HE valve. Maybe they got it right, and that's why this one is a version 2. interested to see how people like this new version. It's a really cool watch, and reminds me of an old diesel watch I had in college. Really cool. Good luck with that hunt. Im getting a headache....

@delta touche'. I was looking at the pics at 3AM in my defense. I remember talking with you about this when the first one came out and coming to the same conclusion. One of the probs was the color of the datewheel. The He valve is still wrong, though; it should be orange. Heres an old thread: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...584&hl=br02 and a search thread since nobody can ever find the search box... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?act=Se...ighlite=%2Bbr02

Seems like Victoria has good taste. There are a ton of good reps out there that I wouldn't even wear the gen counterpart of. Both the TT3 and carlos coste divers are good looking watches in their own right, regardless of brand. I also like that they aren't as well known to most people so you can wear it without people always asking "is that real?"

the helium valve is still missing in his pics. this was a problem on V1 too: either no He valve or a terrible orange bubble thing where it's supposed to be... A shame because I really like this one

I know, I know.... It's great. The quality is like nothing we've ever seen....Everyone loves it.... but can you really call it a super rep with the blatantly obvious rehaut flaw?? It's like an incorrect datefont that you can't correct!!! Anyone who has a gen or knows what one looks like could spot it right off. Im still just bitter about it because I waited for it so long, and I still won't get one. But seriously???!!!!?? Boomer Sooner
