Hi Toof...welcome to RG mate

**Bluey** · 12-07-2007, 03:39 PM

Cheers guys

Loads of questions.

Stacks of them

I'll be expecting a Vintage Comex Sub in soon, and will want to take it to bits to distress it... age the dial, make the steel look old somehow and age the bezel too, probably popping out or replacing the pearl with siomething more authentic.

I have never done anything like this before: don't know how to remove bezel (have checked some posts and videos here), don't know how to get the dial in my hands, ie don't know how to remove the back and then the hands, movement etc to separate the dial. Don't know how to age it (any of it!)

Don't know what tools required, what skill levels etc etc etc.

Jeez, I gotta go to bed. That's whacked me.

Hi Toofey,

Welcome to RepGeek and enjoy the forum.

I read your other post mate, stay away from that other junk dealer site. You'll find the best and highest quality dealers here. Take your time and let us know if you have any questions.

cheers

**Bluey** · 12-07-2007, 06:12 PM

Thanks,
Yes, I see that there are some good dealers here.
UK dealers I am particularly interested in because of customs issues.
Having trouble with Precious Time's site, no prices or payment options seem available. Also difficult to get an overview of watches because of the way the site is designed, IMHO at least.
Anyway, thanks again, super-glad I found you lot.

Thanks toofey, Sparta will keep the lights on for another day.

I've gotten so much out of this forum today that I've happily and readily thrown $25 into the pot.

Good work fellas.

Welcome Toofey! It is good to be an elite member of the Spartan Tribe!

With a name like Toofey, does that mean you are a Dentist?

**Bluey** · 12-07-2007, 09:03 PM

Not a dentist.

There was not much thought gone into this name to tell the truth, it's half of my ebay name.

I already regret it, to be honest.

Actually I wanna change my name while it's still fresh, now that I've changed my Avatar an' all.

How do I do that folks?

Where exactly is "New London?"
sorry- not as funny as I thought it would be.

Welcome Toofster! I think I might buck up and upgrade to VIP soon as well.
