No David, the jewels were counted yesterday. It were 39 btw!
I'll give one hint... The first one is from a 36mm case, the second one from a 26mm.

Cody... I should post more about what? Every question that's asked gets an answer by somebody that knows...
You guys usually don't need me! If there would be something that ONLY I can answer, pm me and I will gladly help if I can. Like the jewel thing... I didn't know until I actually went and counted the damn things myself!

So if there is anything like that that you would like me to post about, let me know...

Don't be rude Triplock.

IMO that was a very poor throw away line.

Read previous threads and posts.

As Nick requested, here's some more "history" on me!

I was born and raised in Belgium (I speak Flemish). I went to watchmaking school in Antwerp in 1999, at age 19. After 2 years I was considered a watchmaker, but I desided to do an extra year to specialize in modern chronographs (like Valjoux 7751). I also did an internship that year at ETA in Grenchen, Switzerland. I graduated first of my class in 2002. Right after school I started working for Breitling Benelux. Soon after I got married to my American (military) husband, we moved to the USA in 2003. In San Diego California, I started working as a watchmaker for an independant Rolex service center. I worked there for 1.5 years and then we moved to Arizona. I work here for an AD for Rolex, TagHeuer, Omega, Baume&Mercier, etc.
In the mean time I went to the Rolex training in Pennsylvania.
I consider myself a pretty skilled "modern watchmaker", meaning I don't know much about vintage... But for the time being I don't feel any desire to learn about them, since it seems way to complicated for my simple mind
Hope you guys quit assuming all watchmakers are men!



Triplock, I am not very clever but I can push two buttons.


Hi Vanessa, sorry if you were embarassed in any way.
