Thanks, and yes we do! Now for a USPS RANT!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Shipped from Phoenix on the 4th with tracking saying Saturday 6th delivery. Nothing shows up yesterday so I check tracking to see "what up", and my freaking package shows scanned in Honolulu??? No wonder USPS loses millions each year. They are ran by geographically challenged people. :banghead: :banghead:

That is insane. I'd be pissed too! I hope it shows up soon. I would love to think that's just some silly USPS glitch, but it is likely actually in Hawai'i.

Is there a new crystal gasket included with the domed crystal?

Is it single done or double dome type?


I may need this on mine.

I have no idea about the gasket. It is double domed.

Thanks. Even though it's a new watch, I think I'd want a new gasket when I change the crystal. Now to find one.

It's here and USPS was definitely at fault. My address on the label was correct. But hey, now it has a story behind it, and no telling how many drinks it had while on its Hawaiian vacation. Anyway the alignment is perfect in every way. I'm really liking the gilt in person, much better than I thought, so no regrets. It looks tired and cold from its trip so I snapped a quick pic and will let it warm up, and take a nap now. I know what I'll be wearing tomorrow though.

So, what is the best source for Pepsi version? Blue version?

Thanks! I was concerned they would be too "blingy" also. Guess pictures can be deceiving, but I really like it.

End links still don't look right to me. Harold needs to whip up a batch of more precisely fitted ones, then I'll go for a blue dial on BOR.

Probably still using 6309 end links, which don't fit the srp case.

Where did you order from? I'm leaning toward the 779 next instead of the 773.
