Yes, I think back a year or less, (Dennis and I signed up one day apart 馃槈) when I would check in and nothing was going on. Then B a m 馃く, or so it seems.
I imagine though it has been a steady geometric increase. I'm sure Trev could do a graph or chart of some sort. 馃槈
Great watches Steve, I really like those wide boys. Maybe I should find a Datejust version...
You can never have just one - It's like having a terrible affliction - gotta have all the references, gotta have all the metals - gotta have all the dials. It's a never ending thing that can consume your life.
These are all 1960's watches with Omega domes fitted to replace the Rolex Cyclopes item.
I was asked to share some of my favorites on here - I hope this isn't too rude for a first post on here,

Honestly, these vintage DD's the OP posted are off the scale cool because of the unique styles and stella dials, but comparing the current DD2 to the RG HV, I think the Hour Vision has it all over the Rolex, and avoids that Miami drug dealer whiff that the Rolex has

Hello everyone.....
Ok once again lets restart this thread.... Vintage DD are cool.....
Here are the two I have....
1803 in White gold.... non lum dial and hands.... here is a Omega crystal , which i had to remove... as it did not pass water resistance test... augh.... so back to a cyclops !
Hi Bill, was this a new (modern replacement part) or an old stock Omega dome? 29.60 diameter?
Hi Kyle
It was on the watch when I got it ... I it tested and failed... I did not want to screw around with it... and I had the right cyclops I think 114 tropic in my bag as a backup.. .so I had it changed.
One of the biggest mistakes made is putting in a bad fitting crystal.. You wind up with a very damaged dial.. in the end...
I think its one of the two biggest mistakes , generic crystal useage when a factory original is available.
#2 ) using cheap ass brass spring bars instead of Stainless steel spring bars for your watches and buckles.
Either one of the above fail.... and your expensive watch gets a beating.. due to the faiulure of the sub 50$ parts...

Its actually called Xenforo, with a lot of heavy modification by Trev to suit our tastes, it was only released in the last couple of years as a whole new type of forum software breaking with a lot of older traditions and legacy 馃榾
@dsio Don't want to get sidetracked, but I'm so happy for the choice of and mods applied to Xenforo.
One thing that would take it to the next level would be notifications for @ mentions... I assume this requires a daemon to run in the bg, and might eat too many sources server side. But if it were possible, it would be great.
