The crystal with mags has arrived and they look excellent !!.. now I can breathe.... :D and smile...... they look actually better than the sample.. Mr/ Ali came through... after the fact... ;) ... but they are here none the less.. and here are some pics..

One thing I will comment on.. a lot of members say that they are not receiving the correct magnification..

remember that this is a "magnifier" .. and as such, the enlargement of the font depends on the height of the crystal in relationship to the mags distance to the font.. ergo the older vintage plexi crystals ... the font will be much larger than a modern day sub...

I never bothered to think about it but some genuine mags in which the crystal sits very low to the DW.. may very well be larger than 2.5 ... possibly a 2.6 to 2.8 giving the end result of magnification 2.5... or different models magnification may vary.. .. unless all Rolexes are the same height from crystal to font.. in which case my theory has just been shot to shit..

Pics...

Looks good.. but remember the DW is a little sunken so the magnification will be larger on the actual piece

I had to do ... one right away juuuusssst to be sure !!!! see the remnants of the UV glue on the crystal ??

The lack of clarity comes from the glue that still needs to be cleaned off the mag and I just heated this up to very high temputure.. but after soaking in acetone it should be crystal clear... :rolleyes:

Below is the list of members that have signed up and paid.. I cannot get in touch with Manuel.. his inbox is full if anyone knows how to reach him please do so.. otherwise he will loose his spot and mag and I will go to the next member who wants one..

and if I have erroneously left the late stragglers out .. let me know either on this thread or by pm... I believe one member did pm me and PP me so I will look ..

and I will get in contact with the members that said they would lend a hand with the forum names and physical address' for the mailing list and so Chief can cross check to the payments...

OK gang the stressful part of holding our breathes is "history".... although I was confident but since it is not "my" money per say that I am playing with .. I will light up a Habana in celebration while I see if the soldering iron I got will remove these.... the fumes from the acetone don't go well with cigar ash... :o

I have had my head buried in some other projects, but I am glad to hear all the correct crystals arrived & on schedule.

I should have had you handle all my previous purchases from Ali.

My thought process when dealing with people such as Ali ... you need to put "your" mind set into "his mind set" and negotiate accordingly... thinking like the SOP of "yourself" never works.. .... I will leave you with that very Zen like thought.. and also leave this..

ps, i wish i wasn't getting ready to move & had more time to spend on RWG at the moment -- lots of exciting projects and developments going on at the moment

This is the 1st I have heard about the move, but congratulations on the new house. That is 1 of the few things that are better to get than a new watch (I think). :thumbsupsmileyanim:

yeah there's a reason i haven't been around much freddy -- been trying to spend as much time with friends in family before moving from SF to LA, which means not much free time for RWG...

i promise to be back with some new pictures in the new (sunny) setting once i'm all settled :victory:

I don't have any clever suggestions, but I'm thinking the move means we're going to see a new handle?

while my forum name is certainly northern california based, i've grown kind of attached to it....

however, changing names seems to be the thing to do recently (ahem...chieftang :) errr...i mean bulldog :D)...

i've used the name surfside as a login before :g:

given i'll be living at the beach, it would be certainly be consistent with my location-based naming history :lol:

@lani, sorry to derail your thread (i hope you don't mind).....consider it a free bump :victory:

B - when you say LA do you mean LA proper? And is there time for a mini-GTG before you go?

do people actually live in LA proper? :lol: i'm going to be in manhattan beach ;)

i could possibly make a mini-GTG happen -- i could probably make it happen this sunday night (aug 3rd), or if not, maybe one night next week?

let me know what you think...
