ubiquitous Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 3x 295c's @ $250 each = $750 spent (to date) on just crystals alone?
r11co Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Are you for real or just winding us up? I was thinking that myself. This guy is trying to have a laugh at the expense of those who mod rep watches. Probably some interloper from a gen watch forum who gets all uppity and sanctimonious at the thought of reps.
RWG Technical Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 I chose the "Ignore User" function for Flip a long time ago... I have commented once and only once, as I think he's wasting everyone's time...a flake to say the least. RG
docblackrock Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Well, the best things come in threes. I bought a third gen 295C, and now i will not press it in, i will glue it in with transparent epoxy adhesive both the gasket and the sapphire. I will post the results (pics) once im finished. This is just priceless, "no I shall not be so stupid as to merely PRESS my third genuine crystal this time, no I shall EPOXY it in place, that'll work, mwahahahaha....'. Regardless of whether you're a troll or just a plain simpleton, I really think you need help. And by help, I mean the professional, comfy-leather-couch-and-thorazine-drip type of help. Here's another Darwin entry, especially for you The Zigmeister (hope it makes up for the 'hockey puck' slant )

Here's another Darwin entry, especially for you Ziggy (hope it makes up for the 'hockey puck' slant ) Great, just Great... First the Hockey Puck incident (messing with our National Sport) and now you descrate our National Symbol...the BEAVER... Whereas countries such as the USA have the Majestic EAGLE for their national animal, in Canada, you have to look down the tree...a bit further down...yes look further down, and there right at the bottom, is our national animal, the beloved rodent, the Beaver. And I see that this particular one, is not the brightest one in the pack. I have to go now, I dont' think I can take any more of this, what next...mocking Anne Murray and the Snowbird song...the horror, the horror... RG

RWG Technical Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Celine Dion is an easier target... We can't stand her either, she pisses most Canadians off...thank god you took her away from us in Vegas. RG
Guest avitt Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 We can't stand her either, she pisses most Canadians off...thank god you took her away from us in Vegas. ...I thought that might be the case. Although, the last time I was in Montreal, the locals took me on a tour, and were happy to point out the cathedral where she was married...I just held my tongue.

RG Maple syrup is nice though, mmmmmm...and you can always cite Linda Evangelista to negate the 'Celine factor'. Anyway it could be worse in terms of national emblems - YOU think you lot have a feckless cerebrally-challenged animal? Consider our mutual Commonwealth cousins from New Zealand Hey where's FlippedLidBonkers gone? C'mon we want photos of the second crystal 'incident'
jfreeman420 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Beavers and BC bud..............Canada must be a loverly place........ Oh Canada Lalalalala. ...I like beaver...Maple syrup is nice though How about maple syrup on beaver after some of that kind in BC? Very tasty.
FlipLockBuckle Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) Wait a sec... you are glueing a 295c in with Epoxy???? Can't be for real... IMO Sapphire is sooo dense that even the best Epoxy won't have any position to act as glue on the Sapphire side - isn't that so? Why do you want a gen crystal - jsut for the sake of it? I mean, you will certainly see glue traces, making the watch look worse... Install a rep glass that fits and be happy. Right, I could use an aftermarket Sapphire with correct magnification and size...but the thing is most of them do not have a correct laser crown, either its too big, or its simply not there. I will glue it first to the spacerring by applying very few epody between gasket and sapphire edge, and then i will glue the whole thing into the watch. I'm pretty sure that can be done without the glue being visible in the end. I will post detailed pictures of my work once its finished. Edited January 16, 2007 by FlipLockBuckle
docblackrock Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 LOL there's actually a Canadian smilie? Never noticed before... I suppose the nearest thing to a Brit (if you believe every Holloywood movie) is this... Any other stereotypes in there, hmmm....
docblackrock Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 I will post detailed pictures of my work once its finished. I am completely sincere when I say I'm breathless with anticipation!
NRG Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 Okay guys, cut him some slack. I had to replace the domed sapphire crystal in my Seiko Orange Monster. Being a "resourceful" sort, I used a big socket from my socket set to press the perimeter of the crystal, a piece of oak across the back of the case/lugs and a C-clamp from my carpentry shop. It worked slick as a whistle. Nanuq, this is an old thread. Unless you missed it FL was/is a wind up merchant, he was takin the p*ss out of the board...

Ah, FlippedLidBonkers, how we miss him
sssurfer Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 I thought he'd returned from the dead for a moment!!!! Ah, FlippedLidBonkers, how we miss him Agree. In my personal opinion he was even better than Jetmid.
Stephane Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 Oh yes, Pug remind me of him lately...I read some old threads of him and wet my pants, again !
deltatahoe Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 something made me think of FLB, so i figured why not bump this thread for an entertaining saturday read for some of the newer folks that didn't get to experience FLB's brief time on the board back in the day deltatahoe
