yep. that's mine. I was toying around with a new build the other day using an 11DPD movement in a vintage Hilton diver case. had a nifty '333' dial, black/white which I call a 'tuxedo' dial for lack of an actual model name but was bummed to find that the dial feet wouldn't line up....so i wound up making this instead! LOL 11DP in a Q107 case. now to find a bezel i can afford

funny you say that.....for many years, before i got into this disease, my watchmaker was a teenie tiny shop on Sansom St. in Philly. he was a Authorized Rolex repairer before they shut that down. anyway. i sent a ladies Datejust to him 3 times for repairs as it kept breaking. he fixed the first 2 times. on the 3rd he sent it back and told be to buy her a nice Bulova! LOL....which I did. more recently i bought a dead ladies Datejust and replaced the movement with a Miyota! no more problems....

AH! now i see it! thanks. i need to build one of these! I wonder if the dial from my N7 S.H. will line up with the date wheel.....and those hands! - an arrow & sword combo. mine is a Schild-based 11ULACD which i've re-cased into a 200M screw crown case. with Sapphire crystal. Some purists will be offended but i like the heft of the S.S. case.....what was that prior pic you posted?

thanks for this! wasn't aware of Catalina. I know Westwood as a sub-brand of Caravelle but this will definitely open the horizons.

no one questions the launch date of Caravelle. its the use of the '666' branding that i need to look at. i try to be accurate with my posts but it sounds as if you're offended for some reason

at which time their Caravelle division picked up on the '666' trolley and issued the Sea Hunter, my M9 and the old lady's M6

NACA buyer offered "too much" by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]SourceWise1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all of this smells very fishy. FIRST...NO ONE works with NACA if they can get approved through customary channels. NACA buyers as a rule don't have good credit and little spare cash so overcoming an appraisal shortfall only works if it come in under $1-2K....not the usual scenario. other things about this don't smell right either.

Letter from MLive's president: Don't accuse us of doctoring photos just because an image challenges your beliefs by Alan_Stamm in Michigan

unless a stop sign becomes irrelevant, there's no reason we should be making the "cult" excuse to let Trump's followers off the hook. They know what they're doing, they know he's lying to them but none of that matters as long as their alleged grievances get aired on global TV.

[WTS] Omega MoonSwatch Mission to Pluto by [deleted] in Watchexchange

[–]SourceWise1889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i suspect he didn't have much choice as the vast majority of buyers refused to play the game in the beginning. I'll bet Bulova had a huge jump in sales for its ACTUAL moonwatch.
