Remember when Ponycar350 was giving away tropic 39 crystals? Ah, those were the days... "bulk orders available"

Jared's still selling on TZ and VFR, watches that is. I also was told that he's 'watchcrusher' on ebay, buying used Rolexes for resale, I guess.

What was the topic yesterday? "You know you've been on RWG too long when..."??

...when you understand what Nanuq's talking about here. :tu:

I still have a bunch of his crystals tucked away.. just waiting for the right watch. Its almost a shame they are probably worth as much as the MBW watch you'd put them on now.

His crown tubes with the dodgy over size thread were a slightly different story though. Have a few of those too that will need to the glued into place I expect.

I think the low hanging fruit has all been plucked by the locusts here (cough). There are still gen Superdome Tropic 39s out there, but they're tough to find. And expensive. Clarks has come up with alternative pieces, and I did a side by side comparison a few years ago to show the differences.

I'd pass on those if I were you. The thickness of the material and its index of refraction is nowhere near correct. Go with a Clarks crystal... they're very very good.

I think I'll do this ;)
