When will you be there? Planning a trip to Seattle and Lake Chelan the end of july until end of august. Would be cool to meet up with other members...

I'm a chief steward on offshore service vessels for oil companies. Been all over the world. Its like being a chef, a hotel manager and Uncle Charlie from "My Three Son's" all rolled into one.

Wow. That was an intresting read! Too bad the reps of today aren't the same quality.

Pretty lame effort... Basic and Big flaws that even noobs like me can see

and then there are brave, I mean really brave soldiers's dream girls:

Hi. I'm working on a ship in the North Sea and I see that a few of the divers have Seikos. The Captain has one thats atleast 10 years old and the bezel is so worn down that there is a lot more than just the paint that is gone, it looks like its gone through hell and is still running like a champ. I personally would go for a Seiko as long as you're not looking for a rep that someone here can recommend.

That was kind of my point in asking that question. Gosh give a fellow forum member a chance atleast.

So... Are Bergie's the same wallets on E-Bay then?

Hi! Pretty new here myself. Welcome! I can guarantee you won't have any problems gaining knowledge here and enlarging your collection!! It becomes an addiction, a sickness, just wait and see. Lots of ways to contibute here as well Anway welcome again, and it really IS a great forum! Jim

Hi, Although I can't really answer your questions, you might want to PM kenberg. I'm sure he'll give you an honest answer. You can go in on accesories / Bergie's/ man-ology section and look at pictures of the Paul Smith wallets. Hope that might help. Jim

The Sea Dweller! But that's just because I can't stand the cyclops on any watch. You don't go around and see those things on people's glasses, so why should you on a watch? Both are nice, you just need to pick the one you like best and save your money for the other one. Good luck deciding Jim

Hi. I am by all means no expert, but I thought the "o" is supposed a capital "O" on the back where it says INTERNATIONAL WATCH CO. Looks like a lower case o in the picture. Probably best to leave it to one of the experts here but I thought I'd give my 2 cents.

Sorry, I don't have answer for you, but I am very interested in this topic. My son is allergic to nickle, which is found in most stainless steel watches. We are looking at titanium watches for him right now. As far as tungsten goes, I think mostly its sold with the name tungsten and is an alloy with varying percentages of tungsten and therefore will contain nickle and other metals and is not hypoallergenic. The ceramic watches I've seen mostly have stainless steel backs (titanium too), metal between the links and on the clasps. Rhodium plating is hypoallergenic. Hope someone here has some answers, will be really interesting to find out about the reps...great topic...
