No wristshot today, but the first Yellowfin Tuna of the season. Prepared in a Wasabi-Sesame Crust and served with garlic-mahed potatoes:

Wow, that Honpo 6239 is still one of my favorites on RWG! LLD for Friday:

Hi Guys! I want to show you my last purchase. This project started up a few months ago after a conversation with my friend Darío (Reziarius). We talked about we would like to get a Seamaster 300 vintage NOS (he already had one, so this one would be his second ). After an unexpected delay because of a missing piece that refused to appear, I can finally enjoy of this full GEN timepiece. Darío, thanks so much for your amazing job! :kneel: Hope you enjoy the pictures Some wrist shots Thanks for looking! All comments are welcome

If there are three things that are a constant in life, they are: Death Taxes Ken is logged in to RWG It doesn't matter what time I pop in, Ken is here keeping the fires burning. He's one of the good guys. For him to be gone this long is unprecedented. Something big has happened and he's dealing with it. Hang in there folks, Ken will be back. Hopefully with good news about this absence.

Just back from the Canadian Spa with a tune-up, new dial, better font DW and FINALLY my gen 589 end links fit the case!!! Thank you Zigmeister. One day I'll tackle the bezel....

3717 Today:

Funny ... I had a nurse who had 3 kids tell me she'd rather give birth again. When they start, the pain is actually in your lower back area. Imagine someone hitting you repeatedly with a baseball bat in that area and you'll come close to what it feels like. The majority of the pain is actually caused by the stone moving through the ureter to the bladder. The first one I had was jagged, and got stuck at the entrance to my bladder. Was in and out of the ER for four days (gotta love morphine though). Had to be surgically removed, and I'll spare the squeemish from exactly how it came out, but I'm sure you can guess. Second one hurt just as bad, but passed on it's own after a few days. Here's a trick that will help ... in addition to whatever else (like Percoset) they give you, ask for a 800mg prescription of Ibuprophen. My urologist told me it's fast acting to the kidneys. Had that for my second bout and it made it almost bearable. Also, if you are prone calcium stones, the doc will likely tell you to have something acidic in your drink (like lemon) or drink cranberry juice. Guess it helps keep them from forming. So far it's working for me, and I knock on wood every day.

New build - posted a full description to the Rolex forum See how the brushed metal dw looks silver in some light, and graphite in other light

NSTNS....I do understand your frustration...I really do. I also dont agree with the "get a life" comment. That was not necessary. That being said. Please try to hang In there a little longer before you file a PP dispute. If that Is Indeed what you are planning to do. That only hurts the whole community and will make things more difficult for all of us. Including you In the long run. Im not trying to defend my friend...although I do consider Ken a friend. But If I didn't feel Ken was a stand up guy then I would remain silent on the issue. Reguardles of my personal feelings about the man. Remember that Ken is not some fly by night vender....he's been around these rep forums for many years. In other words....Kens not going anywhere. There Is nothing else I can say....but do try to hang In there a bit longer before you do something you may regret later. cheers. Mike

---- Came in the mail today Lovi`n it! Friday babes ♥ Keeping with the military theme.

Yikes! Hope you feel better soon, B! This, too, shall pass.

Good thing. Too much red meat might give you kidney stones.....

Mate I aint trying to be clever here.. but if you go to the General Discussion section... there are a few threads some very recent regarding watch smiths in UK... Most of what I read didnt bring to light any modders.... a few lume guys and a few rep friendly watchsmiths... there was a guy on RWG that was in UK but i think he has stopped doing it... it mainly depended where you were located as most would only deal face to face... The best guy IMHO within EU is Domi.... especially with Rolexs and APs.... he is a watchsmith by trade and has worked for some high end marques.... He is a big Rolex lover so he seems to excel at doing work on these... though i use him for PAMs and other brands..
