Watchmeister

What took you so long? Oh yeah, nice watch.

I am going to have to remember that "reverse squid proxy" thing. I have no idea what it means but I will definitely recite it to the tech guy who takes care of the computers in the office. He was actually one of the early on successful hackers.

I would have guessed the first picture was of Amelia Earhart. Am I right? Finepics, what took you so long?

Great work by all. Joe, I am sure having the proper font on the date wheel will make it more apparent what the right answer is. It appears that the laws of refraction are not serving our purpose (or we can't measure) Am I correct in assuming that we may have to get made exactly what we want as there is too much variance in the stock items?

I feel like I am losing my rep virginity all over again. Is it supposed to hurt? Hello to all and many thanks to the new crew. This is fantastic.

So we are over the extreme temperature issue? I can't remember whether the issue was degradation of the lense, risk that it falls off the crystal. or glue used. Are there any refractory issues with the two different materials (sapphire and flint glass)? I know these are cheaper but I ask because for those without skills (me and others who ultimately will buy) we have to factor in the cost of shipping and work if there is an issue. So lower chance of failure is worth something.

Nice guess. I like the white face too. I really prefer the SS bezel. I guess it might be white gold in real life? Now if we can get Ziggy back we are cooking on all cyclinders.

Randy-

Great post. I love the watch but the mystery movement scares the heck out of me. Is DW still in business or are you looking for used ones and praying the movement works? If you can't identify the movement how can you order parts. Or maybe that is part of the allure of a DW Daytona.

I did just pick up a nice Red Sub from Tribal though. See, I am making progress slowly.

I actually prefer the newer looking daytonas with seconds at nine (98,99 I guess). Did DW ever make these and do they have the same mystery movement or is there anything with the right size and spacing with a normal movement? Sorry for all the questions. But I do know you know the answers.

By the way, great to see you here. I was depressed when I saw you had disappeared from the other place.

You lost me. Are we talking flint glass or sapphire?

I wouldn't read alot into it. I almost picked Blade for a new screen name.

Looks like what Eddie Lee is offering.

In fact, could that be Eddie since he is in Canada.

Nice to be here.
