Jetsons Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Looks fantastic, J! A bit of a change from the standard issue rep crystal. I suspect you'll be starring the dial quite a bit from now on. Is that the newer T-39 with the flatter top? Congrats on a terrific MBW!

Linder Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Don't knock that flat 39. That looks NICE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 thanks guys, i'm definatly not knocking it, it looks amazing. as for the ring, its exactly what randy said. after reading his previous post on it, i did in fact notice the groove in the case where the ring should be, so i dug through some olddddddddd bad reps that i had, took the case backs off, and found one that fit right in.

alligoat Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Thanks, Ubi, now I understand what a washer is! On my 5513, I ran a small bead of GS hypocement around the base of the inside ring, pressed on the crystal and the outside ring and water tested it to 5' at the swimming pool! Should have taken it down to 90 feet last weekend scuba diving, but I wore another watch, instead! I realize that cementing the crystal might not be technically correct, but what the heck!
