FlipLockBuckle Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) After cracking 2 Genuine crystals I finally got it First I've glued the crystal to the genuine spacer ring with epoxy adhesive, then I've put the crystal-gasket-entity into the watch and filled the spaces up with silicon (and let it harden a little while). The result us a superb-water-resistant-submariner with genuine gasket and veeeery nice date magnification. Sorry, my cam does not support macro mode, but this is what it looks like I'm am so happy that i finally did it...and for all those who think that a 295C is not compatible with rep cases: here's the evidence to the contrary: Edited January 24, 2007 by FlipLockBuckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Got any pics in focus? If your cam at least has a button with a flower icon, use that mode!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 No vice this time? The date window looks a little crooked. I think you should break this one and start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, no sorry there is no flower. I made some pictures in "landscape" mode, they are a little better. Scroll up....pictures are updated!

Pugwash Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Stand further back, put the watch near a window and crop the picture afterwards. A small, clean picture in the middle of a large file is better than a huge blurred one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Also put the camera on a stable surface. Right in front of the watch on a table works fine. I learned that from Pugwash!!! BTW, The crown guards look pretty good on that sub from what I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 This fellow is playing RWG folks like a fiddle... Imagine someone spending upwards of $750 on genuine crystals for the want of a $50 press...not likely... I think he's having a good laugh at our expense. The quality of the pics, his camera only has "Landscape" but no "Flower" setting, can only take a crappy picture etc... trying to convince others here to use a hockey puck and a vice as a crystal press, no wait, even better - epoxy and bathroom silicone to hold the crystal in place... I dont' believe a thing this person says or posts, nada... Come on folks, am I the only one that sees this for what it is? Someone having a lot of fun at our expense.

jfreeman420 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I did notice the near perfect CG's on that sub. You think a troll from another forum? I don't think anyone could really be that stupid and have the name fliplockbuckle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Come on folks, am I the only one that sees this for what it is? Someone having a lot of fun at our expense. Nope we remember The Zigmeister - I'll refer to my earlier post on this joker's thread, where I put forward my belief that whatever this guy's motives, his actions and/or behaviour point to the fact he could benefit from a little chlorpromazine...
