@maxpower I think you meant @bryaneidins70 maybe?

Edit:  sorry, tagging doesn't seem to work with crappatalk..

Thanks. What I don't like is when a watch looks like this

[Giles]

That's a fecking clock

[DougNg]

Same watch as mine, he's just smaller than me. The poster of that photo is in Singapore, where it's popular to wear a watch disproportionately large to your wrist.

I don't think they appreciate how stupid it looks

I have a 67 Submariner that just stopped, Rolex want a staggering £710 for a service. Anyone know anyone? There is someone near me but he wants £600 and 3 months.
When did everything get so expensive?

[bryaneidins70]

I was looking into this and I think the problem comes if you need parts, as Rolex only sell to authorised dealers.

if you're in the uk try Ocean Jewellers, Brighton.

I can get it done for about GBP350 plus VAT by the man who builds the Pinion/Iron Heart watches…...He has just rebuilt Haraki's submariner and yes, it needed parts.....

All - how difficult / expensive is it to buy a Hulk submariner?

[Giles]

Easy:

Thanks !

I see more Hulks at ADs than no date Subs

[JDelage]

ADs?

I asked that question because I went into the main Rolex shop in Paris last week and they told me that they're never able to keep them in inventory, that they sell as soon as they receive them. It's completely possible they were eff'ing with me of course.

[DougNg]

Authorized Dealer.

Maybe they're more popular in Paris. In the States, I routinely see a Hulk in the display.

I just found this business card:

Gina Pan Kirst
Sales Associate
Rolex Hyde Park Boutique
gpan.rolex@hpjewels.com

The last couple times I walked in there they have had green subs (I'm in there at least once a year). They're stateside though.

[JDelage]

I'll see when I'm back in the states. Thank you!

Granted it isnt a watch, but finding the right alarm clock has been an obsession of mine since our old one bit the dust. I've been using my Casio waveceptor but it is battery powered (which I dont trust), doesnt illuminate without pressing the snooze, and has a really horrible alarm.

I finally found a suitable replacement by Braun that is sleek, compact, has a battery backup, and sounds pleasant. Plus you tap anywhere on the top of the clock to snooze it.
