Looks rather clean!

These can still be purchased new in some European markets.

Meet the New Boss !



Unfortunately my real Boss, the elf, has put it away for a couple of weeks, but I had to make sure it was not damaged :grin:

Nice watch, does it have a backlight?

I couldn't resist hitting "buy it now"...no photo and not working, not a big $ risk, how can I go wrong?


Need a little more spontaneity and surprises in my life!

thanks- not sure if its a keeper but it was something a little different
@theshovel
I admire you gamble with that - they are nice pieces

Haha thanks, the gamble wasn't bad, I got a few things I wanted from the lot

Nice one there, haven't seen that one before.
Please post some pics of how you remove the bezel, crystal, movement, etc on that case if you would...I'd love to see that, I've always heard they're tricky, but have never tried.

thanks DAHASCO! I'm unsure how the crystal ring comes out, hoping for more pix.


My experience with the retaining wire has been mostly bad with these...I've had one that came off easily by hand and two others that were down right brutal - a screw/wedge bezel remover wouldn't remove it, I had to implement some other "non-traditional" watch repair tools such as a vice and channel locks. On one of mine the wire became wedged between the case and the bezel inside, so no way to see it until I finally forced it off. The wire deformed the inside of the Titanium case. It was just plain ugly.


Anyway, still interested to see how the one above comes apart if you are willing to post more pix.


Thanks!
