Usually it would be the dressier watch, the MBTW, but I swear that this DSSD is making a Rolex fan out of me. Well, a fan of that Rolex anyway. I catch myself reaching for the Rollie every morning now. Soon to come, pics of the PAM 165 and IWC Big Pilot. Just got the PAM today and I am feeling way too lazy to do any pictures or anything right now. The IWC is in transit, so naturally I am standing in my living room looking out the window and waiting for the postman to come. LOL

Me Too man...

I just got a DSSD, and love it! I'm not even a Rolex fan...sorry about that. I got this watch by accident. I ordered it for a friend and when it arrived he didn't like it...too big for his wrist. For the price, I couldn't pass on it. It has become one of my favorite watches, rep or gen. I find myself reaching for it every morning. This is a bit unusual for me, as I generally prefer dress watches with leather straps. The DSSD has changed my thinking on the style of watch and the Rolex brand in general. I think I am falling in love with them. Right after I got this one, I ordered a Sub too. LOL. The only [problem I have with the watch is the clasp. More specifically, I

Hey guys, I am killing 2 birds with one stone...I'm just showing you all the stuff I picked up this month, and getting a little practice with the camera. Sorry for my photography skillz. So far this month I have picked up the following: 1. Mont Blanc Timewalker RG/White dial 2. Rolex DSSD - Thanks Hike !!!! 3. Rolex Sub 4. Gen Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Ball Point Pen

OK guys, I'll start taking some pics. Maybe like 2 a week. I 'll find out the history of the watch and all the other info I can too. I'll probably post the first ones the middle of next week. He has one cool little watch. Its an Accutron, and its battery powered. It was the "Other" watch that went to the moon. It looks like a little bubble. Cool stuff.

Great watches, very unique. Better believe that no one at your local Starbucks is gonna have one of these babies. I would suggest going ahead and getting the big boy version. You want the Chono to function. I have this all black King and love it. Its big though. Better have a good sized wrist for the King. I researched these reps for a while before I pulled the trigger, and I ended up going with Josh. Here's the link to the Hublot page with all the ceramic models, but they are mostly in the $750 and up range. ALso, about the chronos only lasting a few months, read The Zigmeister's stuff on how to care for a chrono/7750. I actually brought two back from dead by having them serviced. Don't give up on them yet. ANyway here's the link http://www.watchc.com/Hb-Big-Bang-Full-Ceramic/c79_280/index.html

I see a lot of Rollies at work. But the best of all...My boss (Who happens to be my grandfather) rocks a gen Piaget Polo, and its one of the older solid gold ones. The gold band is just sick, it looks almost like its woven or somehting. The CPA at our company (My Mom) rocks a Presidential, amd its a gen too. As a matter of fact, I am gonna put come pics of these up next week.

Hey everyone, I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in seeing some pics of some vintage timepieces. I have a friend in my hometown that owns a fine jewelry and watch store. It's a small store and most of his new watches are lower end Swiss brands like Tissot, Hamilton, and Victorinox. He also has a wonderful collection of vintage Rolex, Huerer, Moischer, and several other unique pieces. If I get a decent response I thought I would start posting some pics once a week or something. Its just a thought...

I wear a suit to work, and the Timewalker is my "Go To" dress watch. I have all but quit wearing my VC Patrimony. It's just not big enough anymore...

I have been wearing this since Monday...thanks Hike!!!

"Winding me up" that's priceless, given our common interest here...watches. I had to chuckle at that one. And I should apologize too. I think I was still a little hot over the whole thing. The fact that my watch was fake has nothing to do with me getting upset. It's the fact that the guy used soemthing that I told him to blatanly humiliate me. I could care less who knows my watch is fake. Ask around here, a few of the members will tell you that I don't care who knows...Almost to the point of being reckless. I have had a few members that are wiser than me, call me out for wearing my reps in to the AD's around town. I just don't care. I have never been a person who measures my own self worth by the opinions of others. If that where the case, I would have bigger problems than fake watches. If anything my problem is the opposite, I tell too many people about reps. One reason fot this, is that I have been a watch enthusiast for many years. I own several gens in addition to my growing rep collection and I personally have been blown away by the quality of my rep purchases. Now I have done my homework and purchased reps that I feel are from a higher range of quality than some, but that's just MO. I have grown to believe that there's not a big enough difference in the reps I choose and their gen counterparts to justify the huge pricetags. I guess you could say that every time I get a good rep, I feel like I won a small personal battle with the gen companies. I beat them again. HAHAHA. I have stated many times before on this forum that it would take a very special watch to make me buy gen again, b/c I wear my watches, and I am rough on them. I don't baby them, real or rep. So if a rep breaks, who cares,but when you get a scratch on a gen, you are [censored]. For now, reps do it for me and I could care less who knows. Its all about the look, the general asthetic that you are trying to achieve...well it is to me anyway. Now a lot of the folks here that build and mod will tell you otherwide, but that's what is so great about this hobby. There's room for everyone and their quirks. Me, I just like the way watches look. I don't care about movements and I am not exacting on the details. Hell I have a rep that is gold plated and says stainless steel...and I wear it almost everyday. So I was not, nor have I ever been ashamed of wearing reps...I mean they are still nicer than a $100 Fossil and they are even nicer than that $600 quartz watch at Brooks Brothers. So I say wear and enjoy and if you are trying to fool people, the only person you are fooling is yourself. But I do appreciate the psycology lesson. I have a habbit of acting w/o thinking things through. Some people call it a temper, me I just call it affective conflict resolution. LOL. Anyway, no apology needed. Welcome to the neighborhood. Happy hunting. Oh, and for all you Texas fans... ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bit close to the weekend for Ayn Rand, don't you think...or maybe something a little more light hearted like ANTHEM. LOL

You can have this one if you want it. Consider it a contribution to the history of our hobby. LOL. Seriuously though, you can have it. I'll even pay for the shipping. I want it gone, but can't bring myself to throw it away for some reason. LOL.

As a matter of fact, another member PM'ed me about it a while ago. I have since refrained from doing it. I was unaware of all that was going on to thwart our little past time. I was just bringing it up to illustrate a point...that I am not ashamed of my reps. I wear them as often and with as much pride in ownership as I do the gens I have. That was all I was saying. But thanks for the heads up.

Hmmm...I like it. I am not a bug stickler for the flaws, if I like it, then I like it. I just do this for fun, you know? And I kind of like this rep. For the price, its not bad at all...then again I am no expert on the brand.
