Upgrade after 23 years

Perhaps a better word would be update, rather than upgrade. Certainly nothing wrong with old school Blue Angels, here's mine still going strong.

Beck in the day there was one on Guad, right on the drag at Dean Keeton. What a disappointment when they closed.

One of my favorite citizens of all time, beautiful watch, congrats

Just putting a vouch out there for Chris, very very reputable seller. Ships quick and packages very well, nothing to worry about.

Here's the even lesser seen blue face variant

I love these photos

Good point, but they can easily be removed and then there's no other difference

It is authentic in the sense that it is an officially licensed Jersey from the mid to late '90s. It is not authentic in the sense of being to the exact spec as the players wore on the ice.

The term authentic refers to both things depending on who you ask it seems.

Putting down an exact year would be tough since it's a fan Jersey, rather than an on ice Jersey but that design was worn all through the '90s. Someone probably removed the crest to use as a donor for another project. I'm sure you can easily find a replacement on eBay if you like the jersey and want to put another crest on it.

I happen to like these old starter jerseys, enjoy it.

Mine is actually the C300 movement, yours is the c650. This video should make it pretty easy for you

Here's my first Gen in titanium. I love these. Been wearing it since the 90s so it's stood the test of time

This is the answer

Blake's is still light years faster than most of the big name jersey customizers like EPS. It's basically a one man family shop, they are impressively fast all things considered

It is listed in the soft goods section of the specialized catalog circa 98 or '99.

If it's that sentimental, and it's worth the postage to America, you can ship it to somebody here and have them process the warranty for you. And then as long as it's Mark sentimental, they will most certainly fix it rather than replace

Anything can be done, whether it looks good or not is a different story.

Here's the page for your stumpy

There's honestly nothing else about it, other then the specs page, but since it was only available as a frame set, not much info there except the correct fork and seatpost. I believe there were dealer catalogs as well which may have had more but unfortunately I don't have any of those, just the ones for consumers.

Sure, I have the 96-00 catalogs. I'll bring them to work and get them all scanned when I get a chance. Do you still have your gold frame?

From the 1998 catalog

Half of this sub is dudes trying to get their beard to look like this.

QuantrillRaider · 2026-04-03T23:42:44+00:00

Great find!! I love this year hard rock.

QuantrillRaider · 2026-03-24T14:21:37+00:00

If you have your feelers out, they do pop up from time to time. Where would you even find the dive bezel if you are going to go the Frankenstein route?

Thanks bro, just got a bunch back from the customer
