redwatch Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 New dome crystal? Or just a polish?Oh and new bracelet and endlinks??
Nanuq Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Posted March 28, 2011 What? Nobody commented yet on the date changing?
Nanuq Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Posted March 28, 2011 Okay, some of you spotted it... she sports a gen tropic-39 Superdome crystal now. All hail the Dome! In case some are sitting on the fence doing this, my advice is to jump in. The reflections and sparkle and brilliance are just amazing.
cib0rgman Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 I wonder what are you going to do with the old one...
Nanuq Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Posted March 28, 2011 The previous crystal was a tropic-39 service replacement, so it was a little bit flatter than the Superdome. I'm keeping that one, as it's got a lot of sentimental meaning to me. Each gouge and scrape bears a story. I do have one more NOS tropic 39 Superdome I can sell now. I went through the pile and put the best one on, I'm keeping one for just-in-case, so I can sell one now. But the little beastie is expensive.
cib0rgman Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 I would imagine is expensive. I'll get back to you once I sell one of my kidneys. he he he.
Dizzy Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 Each gouge and scrape bears a story. My lord, the first time I read this, I thought you said "Each gouge from a bear is a story"... and the funny thing is, I wasnt even surprised. haha. I know you like playing with wild bears up there. Not many dive watches have to be water proof and ALSO grizzly bear resistant! I agree, the is no plexi out there that looks like a gen T-39 superdome. I have one on my 1665 also and nothing even comes close to the clarity and sparkle. One other thing i have noticed is that the gen plexi's are much more scratch resistent than any of the cheap aftermarket crystals. Is that a flat top3 silver datehweel in there also? Keyless works fixed? Now you can finally wear that thing and keep the gen safe inside the house. dizz
Nanuq Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Posted March 29, 2011 "Bear resistant"?? Now why would you say something like that? And what's this about keeping gens safe inside the house? They're made to be used.
Dizzy Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 Yeah gens are ment to be worn... most gens... I wouldn't wear yours though, its too nice. Its almost in the same league as Comex Subs and Milsubs.
panerai153 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Got to second what yo usaid about the "superdome". I just look at mine all the time!! Amazing crystal. Hard to believe they went from these to those ugly flat hunks of sapphire.
