  1. The watch looks amazing is real life.. if you're wearing fatigues or a flight suit.. otherwise it's a bit silly in my opinion. Definitely an occasional use weekend watch. I have a Black Steel on an olive drab nato strap that has the same problem
  2. A Stolex Oyster.. sorry mistyped that writing the previous post and it seemed rather appropriate
  3. I always wondered how many stolen watches the service departments pickup, especially now you can't buy parts any place else.
  4. Anyone with half a brain checks a watch immediately you open the package.. if you don't have half a brain.. well thats too bad..
  5. Happy Birthday Logan!

  6. Very nice work ! Did you do the bead blasting yourself? If so what grade / size beads did you use and where were the sourced from. I brought a little air brush sized sand blaster recently but having trouble identifying the type of beads to get.
  7. Give it time.. our Chinese friends are always improving. Theres nothing wrong with just having one watch of course.. many normal people do that I hear
  8. The brands are hurting so I guess they think cracking down on reps will increase sales. They are probably right to a limited and short term degree, but I've always felt that reps do increase the desirability of a brand. Like the old saying "the only thing worse that being talked about.. is not being talked about". If your designs are not being copied then it means no body cares.
  9. wow.. I wonder how many of those I've read.. even if it's one in ten thats still a heck of a lot.
  10. Half the watches pictured were probably reps. After all domestic China is almost certainly the largest market for the reps we buy. As we're well aware you ever tell from the pictures.
  11. My parts showed up safely this morning. The finish is amazing in person. I hope to spend some time on the conversion this weekend.
  12. The bottom of the SEL's is a bit untidy, but overall it's very good
  13. Of course you can get paid an awful lot of money in Australia at present.. the initial job offer you have is probably only the start. Once you live there a lot of head hunting of talented people goes on. I live in New Zealand but every second person I know has moved to Aus recently it seems.
  14. A very crude way to reduce the diameter of something like that with serious tools is to spin it up in en electric drill, then hold sand paper or a fine file against the spinning screw to remove some metal and reduce the diameter. It's slow going if you need to remove much and not exactly elegant, but without either a lathe or drill press you're only other option is buying different screws.
