Let's make - Amer.. sorry - the SELs great again!

[hologramet]

Sorry Trump-voting Americans. You just elected Ronald Reagan again. This time with a toupé older than his wife, reality-TV instead of Hollywood, and narcissistic/megalomanic personality disorder. IQ. But who are we kidding. Modern democracy is only about believing you actually make a difference, when it's still Status-quo no matter which puppet gets elected.

...

Consider this more a proof of concept than a straight up guide.

I was one of the guys truly [censored] when I received my Noob v7 no-date Sub. The SELs were once again just as horrible as the Noob v3 I bought >2 years ago.

Having a NOS LF Sub-C bracelet incoming, and 2 more bracelets in stock... Why not experiment a bit.

With the aid of abrasive pads, papers, diamond files, and a dremel armed with dentist-grade polish tips... I went to work. 20 hours later... (and still not 100% done) i present to you:

 

Basically what you want to do is:

The blue part = avoid removing, otherwise you will lose the upper "limit" that is adhered to the lower part of the bezel and your bracelet will jiggle vertically

The green part = remove little, creating a pleasant curve with the rest...

The yellow part = remove a lot

The red part = remove almost everything... until you fear the metal tolerance to the springbar "tube" will crack on ya

The thick one is an umodded Noob v3 SEL (basically identical to v7)

This is how you create jobs.... Now get to work! :)

I made a similar remark a couple years ago and nearly got banned.

Oufff...

Well I won't edit it, because I won't hide what I wrote... but not even in the spirit of humor? I mean it's a play on his slogan. And I question his ability to be president since he is neither a good actor or a good businessman. And then I conclude that politics is not about democracy nowadays, it's about media coverage. Neither in America, Sweden nor any other country I have visited (or have friends in) have elections been about presenting policy, plans or anything similar. It's always about controlling the media coverage through advertisments, "hidden" bought advertisment through different tv-shows or about creating media buzz through controversy. There is no bad publicity seems to often be the case (unless the politician crosses the line sexually through pedophilia, or in most countries through homosexuality and/or infidelity).

I hope my remark and play on his advertisment didn't anger anyone, if so, I am willing to take consequences and apologize to anyone offended.

I think negiative political messages should no place on RWG! Considering the election is now past,we should give the winner our support as he may well have very positive impact on our wonderful country!

let's stay focused on the magic of Daytonas, Subs, etc....

I find you post very funny. Thanks!

This is the GREATEST post I've seen on any forum in a very long time.  Humorous, witty... Well done my friend, well [censored] done.

Of course, it's easy to make fun of us Americans, we obviously are idiots.

Seems like you did a lot of work. Good for you.
I wish I had the time for that.
I am just going to deal with my v7 otb. It is been in the plastic a week. Shows how much time I have.lol!

It was just a joke and all good. 

Humor and good intentions are always welcome here and you showed both.

Great! 

Sometimes beauty and humor, is in the eye (read: mind) of the beholder. 

As long as it's just a joke, it's just a joke... 

 

Merry Christmas everyone! No inspired examples to show guys?

Great job. I would love to see some "action" photos of the work. I'm looking at doing something similar as well
