Hi mate, I’ve a question, did you modded the Nautilus perpetual calendar?

I'll butt in because he's not online much these days, something about saving the world...

Anyway, I'm fairly sure he did mod it - there's a thread on it I believe, hand painted if I recall.

I might be mixing things up. He modded the moonphase on an AP. Read his review here, it's towards the end of the review.

An amazing collection :thumbsup2:.  This should serve as a warning to us newer members as we dive deeper into the rabbit hole.  After ordering my sixth watch of the year recently, I was accused of being obsessed. I flipped through this thread for my wife to show her that all is not as bad as it could be.  :lol:

Great minds!  I did exactly the same thing.   Was asked why I need a moon watch when I am not going any where near the moon....

Maybe this thread should be a warning sticky in the new members section. :rofl:

Hi mate, I’ve a question, did you modded the Nautilus perpetual calendar? I’ve never seen one with a moon phase indicator like this one.

Yes I did, I designed and printed one out on A4 sticker paper. It was a low budget mod. The tricky bit is removing the subdial hands without breaking something.

That Lange Tourby is delightful, do you wear it often? 

Not often enough, I ration my wears to give the other tourbillons a chance!

Less is more? 

You have many. 

Less = more

Many = much more! 

Love the mental gymnastics there :rofl:

I've sort of given up on a focused collection now

Someone's gotta keep the rep industry alive in the time of COVID19.

Not seen any COVID19 patients yet but I do not look forward to working in ICU next month :wallbash:

It's an exponential curve, there's 9 more months in the year so................

I admire the discipline. I just like to hoard stuff. Hence the double wristies to make up for it (poorly).

F*@k me ,shows me up as a rank amateur:D I sincerely hope that you have written in your will that your reps are to be used for the benefit of the RWG and are donated as inducements to pay one’s dues:drool:

I'm all for equality. I wear both men's and women's watches. Glad you both saw stuff you like :thumbsup2:

I have to admit, without the pink band that is a Daytona I'd be willing to wear. It's both cheerful and subversive and I've got just the mushro...er... strap for it, too.

TGF likes a pink strap on.

I would love that dial in a regular SS/black bezel case (or black PVD come to that) - then I'd happily go for the pink strap on too!
