    Re: Breitling Replica?

    Looking at my two Glycines with 7750 movements I notice that I have a different regulator on mine. Also, I believe there's the ETA logo under the balance wheel near the edge of the movement -...
  3. Re: PRS-20, any comparisons with Radi0mir?

    I don't have a PAM210 to compare my PRS-20 LE to, but honestly I have no desire to get the PAM - the PRS-20 is a fantastic watch and I can't imagine I'd be any happier with the PAM.

    I believe the...

    Re: Some thoughts and help with Dornblueth

    Dornblueth's web site was one of the first watch web sites I bookmarked when I first go into this hobby - I still think they're some of the nicest watches that I've seen. They're still a bit above...
  5. Re: Sellers, would you use a bank transfer instead of Paypal

    I wouldn't ever again use PayPal, so it's perhaps obvious how I would feel about this.

    As a seller I see zero problems with accepting bank transfers. I've even had people deposit funds directly...

    Re: Why is this not selling?

    The size, 7" wrist size, gold, the cost or just the economy - any number of reasons it's slow to sell.

    I certainly couldn't wear it (needs another 1.5" worth of bracelet for starters) and I don't...
  7. Re: does advertising influence your buying a watch?

    I can't think of a single advertisement for any watch that I own. I've discovered the watches by reading the forums and looking through the sales forums. I recall radio commercials for Patek Philippe...

    Re: Your preference: domed or flat

    Most of my watches have flat crystals, but given a choice I would prefer them slightly domed. I think there's less of a problem with reflections on a domed crystal. With a flat crystal, one bright...

    Re: New Mercedes Gull Wing

    I think I saw one of those last week (unless there's another MB out there with a very low, flat hood.) Honestly didn't like the look of it at all, although I'm sure MB could care less what I think -...
  10. Re: Is it false economy to get an old Seiko diver serviced?

    If the watch means something to you, by all means get it serviced, regardless of price.

    About the only time I wouldn't have something serviced would be if it almost cost as much to buy the same...
  11. Re: PRS20 standard vs LE? Advice please.

    If you really care to know how well a PRS 20 runs, it's possible to note when the minute hand crosses one of the eight linear minute markers. Keep track of that for a few days and you'll know how...

    Re: The value of a watch and servicing

    If it were a proper service done by the factory and fully documented then that would increase the value. However, if it's just a statement that the watch was "recently serviced" then I wouldn't put...

    Re: Somebody please buy this..

    Doesn't apply. Individual sellers don't need to collect sales tax from their buyers. If you're a business, you only need to collect sales tax from buyers in states where you have a physical location....

    Re: Full lume Italian

    I would certainly be interested in such a watch. I have very few watches that I don't think I'll ever flip, and my PRS 20 LE is one of those.

    Since the dial is already produced then it'll be what...

    Re: Panerai movement question

    Does anyone know what a 6497-2 movement directly from ETA looks like? I know that it has the higher beat rate than the 6497-1, but I wonder if it also has those Panerai styled bridges. Somehow I'd be...
  16. Re: How accurate is your most accurate mechanical watch?

    All of my watches with the 6497/8 movement can be kept to within a few seconds of perfect for as long as I care to keep them running. I can set them down at night to gain (dial up) or loose (crown...

    Re: Italian on a Toshi: help needed

    While that strap is perhaps a little thicker than I would like, I think it looks fine on the PRS 20. I prefer a wider strap on that watch (I made one that's 28 mm wide and it does squeeze in there...

    Re: Q about the PRS-20

    I was fortunate enough to get the PRS-20 LE and it's one of my favorite watches. I have a 8.25-8.5" wrist, and even I think the wire lugs could have been angled down a little. I believe that on some...

    Re: Real or Fake?

    Real LIVE one. Sits in its pot for a few years and when it grows too big it gets planted outside and another one is bought. Been doing that for years.

    Re: PRS-20 wire-lug problem

    Try to install the wire lugs without a strap attached. You should be able to notice how far the wires go into the case, and when you tighten the screws the wires shouldn't move. If you can't get them...
  22. Re: Watch Restoration - viewed the same as classic cars?

    For me, I'd consider a watch - or a classic car - to be original if all of the non-wear parts were the same as when they left the factory. I have no problems with, and indeed would prefer, that the...

    Re: Incursore "hommage"

    Most of the watches in my modest collection are Glycines, so I'd say try to find the exact Glycine watch you're looking for. They're great watches and are often very reasonably priced.

    There may...

    Re: Quote for today

    Actually, if Switzerland defined "Swiss Made" the same way the US defines "Made in USA" we probably wouldn't be having discussions like this.
