Justasgood Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Installed my newly acquired Genuine 128 crystal. Took about 20 minutes of modding to the Bezel. Worth it? You decide and let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Looks great. That doesn't sound like a NO drink though, Hurricanes for the tourists, G&T for the old guys and Dixie for the real diehards, Abita for the rest of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Nice run down. I lived about 400 yds from the Abita Brewery way back when nobody knew what an Abita beer was LOL! I grew up on my dad's warm Dixie, Jax and Falstaff..at parades, he would give his spittle to the kid that fetched him a nice cold fresh one.....I was always pretty fast and probably an enabler to my dad's drinking. He swears he is not an alcoholic though....he says they go to meetings. He is a professional drunk LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justasgood Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Well, the 90 got clipped a hair...visible in macro and under a loupe. My old eyes can't detect it on my wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelizer Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I just ordered yuki hands for mine. they look just like original hands. has someone tried them before ? I ordered a set about a week and a half ago. Should arrive any day now.. Judging by the pics they do look very promising, so let's keep our fingers crossed for the length to be perfect for the DW dial.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the pics they do look very promising, so let's keep our fingers crossed for the length to be perfect for the DW dial.. I'm as patient as the rest of you guys, so I've ordered a set, too! They're still a few weeks away, but I'll make a 3-way DW vs. CWP vs. Yuki comparison when I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He swears he is not an alcoholic though....he says they go to meetings. He is a professional drunk LOL!!! Man!! I can tell you those are some rough beers,Dixie, Jax and Falstaff. I bought a 6 pack of Dixie "Voodoo" years ago to take to the hunting camp. At the end of the season, we still had about 4 or 5 cans left!! And we had some serious beer drinkers in our ranks. Abita Amber draft is probably one of my favorite summer time beers. Please excuse me for getting a thousand miles off on a South LA tangent. The Monte Carlo is really nice, and the genuine crystal makes it even nicer. i agree with what has been said, you just can't beat genuine Rolex glass (Plexi) for clarity. They are just better. Sort of like comparing Zeiss binoculars to Bushnell, no contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
