USA made boxes
Did hope to have some better pictures for this and will have soon, though its hard to find the time and someone else to take pics.Thought i would post in this forum as these boxes are made in the USA and Doug deserves a mention foe just being a good guy to deal with. The sample box i received was what i was hoping for and about what i expected.Very solid box, and i took it 1 meter deep in the pool proving its water proof too.Any watch inside sits in nice foam and does not move around at all.Some discoloring on the foam from the cutting method but that has been addressed. All in all, Custom Case designs is a very nice solid box for a better price than similar products.I ordered 100 more and they are now ready to ship and were completed in a very timely manner.I will be ordering from Doug again and can certainly recommend him based on my experience.

Wristwatches didn't really move into the mainstream until the 1920s. Guys tended see wristwatches as effeminate items mostly used by women.

Water resistance if crown protective device left open
Today I was wearing my PAM 164 Lumninor Marina after a few days. Before setting the time and date, I had washed my hands. Although I was sure I had dried my hands adequately, when I opened the crown and the protective crown device a little bit of water seems to have trickled onto and into the crown as its was wet when I was setting the time. I wanted to know whether the water resistance of the watch is affected if the crown protective device is left open. The watch doesn't seem to have fogged inside so I assume that water would not have trickled inside. However, for my information,I wanted to know if any of you are aware how the water resistance is correlated to the protective device and the opening and shutting of the crown.Thanks

First Live Pic of DSSD Dblue?
Did a quick search and came up with this. Seems to be the newer 126660. If this is repeated, I apologize https://.luxify.de/wp-content/upl...lue-126660.jpg

Finally pulled the trigger... 2 years later!
Hi everyone,It's been a couple of years since my last post. The picture below is of me trying on the BLNR and ultimately not buying it. Today I paid in full and now i await the phone call. I'm 6th on the list and the AD informed me that they had 3 last month so it could be as soon as February.I've had on going concerns that 40mm would be too small for my 8 inch wrist however most members here have been supportive with the odd dissenting voice. I've put that out of my mind now and decided that there is no other watch that comes close to this (except maybe the BLRO but that's just not feasible).I currently own a Tag Heuer Link Calibre S which is a watch I fell in love with long before I could afford it! I'm debating whether to keep it or not as it's unlikely to see much wrist time anymore.As for the BLNR, my 2 year deliberation has cost me ¡ê600, but that's life I suppose.As a first time Rolex owner, what can i expect when I collect the watch? I've been reading lots of posts about sticker
