>fap fap fap< <-- for the hour markers alone

Does "ultra quartz" imply "smooth sweep"?

[bry1975]

I assumed that referred to the timekeeping accuracy but might be that as well!?

Bry, how difficult is it to remove PVD?

[bry1975]

Easy with the right kit why what pvd needs removing?

[CardShark]

Very nice. Reminds me of some Russian stuff, pretty sure that there's a Seiko or two out there with simular markers as well.

A bezel - I want the polished version, but can only find a PVD.

Chances of finding another are next to zero, so was thinking of getting that and having the PVD removed.

Was wondering how good a finish could be achieved?

[bry1975]

Do you have a pic of the bezel?

Can you PM your email? Don't want to hijack your Longines thread any further, and can't send attachments through PMs.

I like a Longines.

Their recent 'Clous de Paris' stuff is very nice indeed. Looks and feels far more expensive than it is.

[bry1975]

Their hydros look the Shizzle imo!

Never owned one but have satin blasted a few.

I've checked that site a few times and never noticed that one. Very nice looking.
