Repair Question - Crown Tubes
I have a question for some of the repair people out there...Are Hamilton Crown Tubes threaded into place, or tension fitted into place. Specifically, I am thinking about a Hamilton Barrel Plain that needs a new crown tube.How do I go about getting a properly fitting crown tube? I will likely order from a parts house, but I wonder how to get the color/shade/patina to match, or simply not worry about it since it will likely be covered by the crown.I knowit's a very specific question, but the folks on this forum know A LOT. Thanks,Chris

WATCH TALK FORUMS site redesign - update!
In last month's newsletter, I announced that WTF was going to be undergoing a MAJOR site redesign. I had originally hoped to have this project completed by the end of January. The bad news is, we won't make that completion date. The good news is, the work that our Site Administrator (Greg), our design consultants, and myself are doing is going strong. We're now hoping to launch the re-designed site during the first week of March. We have a test environment set up in which we're testing the new design and upgraded functionality. Next week, I'll be giving the entire Admin Team access to the test environment and they'll be assisting with identifying and squashing bugs, as well as contributing their thoughts to the final design. This will help ensure a smooth transition when we "flip the switch" and bring the new site online. Don't worry, all existing data on WTF will be there when you log in on the new site - no one will have to re-register, and there will be no lost data. Here's

Hi allAlways admired but have never really considered it on my wrist until recently. I currently own a Sub and Daytona (which I wouldn't let go of) but still find myself looking at the 5167 more and more.Finances mean I can't fund one presently but this forum and the 5167 comments / photos is doing a great job of making my mind up to commit to myself on focusing in on purchasing one within the next year.Can anyone advise on availability in the U.K.?Thanks

Rolex damaged badly in accident!
NOT MINE.... It is of one of the good youtuber who does watch reviews. He reviewed the Rolex loaned from a friend and he was ready to buy it for $5K. He was going to meet him with the watch and kept on the rooftop and put his daughter in car seat etc and forgot about the watch until he was half way. He came back to see his Rolex box shattered at the corner of the road with multiple cars crashing it badly. He's paying the guy $5K anyways.My question is.. can this Rolex be ever restored? Is it worth it? I think the restoration will exceed $5K. What do you think? Have you seen such a bad state of a Rolex?Only this much is left of the watch.What can be done? Thanks.
