I had a delicious 3 hour breakfast with Lani this morning and it was humbling and inspiring. He's much more than a gentleman, kind, generous and humble. I felt I was in the presence of a giant among men. He's doing well, VERY busy with a grand new adventure, and I'll be seeing him again in a couple days. Can't wait for it! Aloha nui loa, ma brutha.

Why, because I can<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And you?

I got the email Brother. And thanks again. To you and EVERYONE involved to bring this to us

As always, lovely Panda, Freddy. <br /><br />Enjoying a cold beer rite now...<br /><br /><br />Sent from my SGH-T889/SHV-E250S using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

I had breakfast with ma brutha Lani this morning and we talked about the waves, he said here they measure the back side of the waves, not the front. So a "25 foot" wave will have a face of 50' or more. That's what I was watching, behemoth monsters crashing into the rocks, and humpback whales breaching offshore a mile or so. It was awe inspiring.

So let's start a poll, which question is worse, the terrible one that is this post or "who makes the best sub?" I think the latter is still worse but this chap has clearly made a run at it. To answer your question, yes probably every single person here has purchased from PC. Josh is one of the best. Next time read something......anything

Certainly to each his own. The snowflakes are and important part of Tudor history, and most Tudor collectors feel like their Tudor collection is not complete without a Snowflake or two. Snowflakes were also among a select few watches that were issued to military units. The Snowflake was issued to the French Navy (MN)<br />I have several Tudors, a couple of reps and a. Gen 9411/0 Blue Snowflake <br />Here is mine.<br /><br /><br /><br />

The only things I wouldn't mind riding this summer! Lol lol sorry just had too....

Tudor should have it's own place here on RwG we have so many collectors of the brand and I've seen some cracking builds on here backed up with great knowledge of the individual pieces, let's do it now if we can before the new Black Bay and the Pelagos come out cause they are gonna be huge sellers my 2c anyway.........................some pics.. I want one...........please.... and this.............. Think I might have a Tudor problem........

Couple of gens.

So...how about another meet for 2013????

Seems like a good idea to me. Here are mine 7924 big Crown 7016 with "lollipop" second hand 9411/0 Gen

I'll second that...

Hello People of RWG! Became a member just under a month ago and have been lurking, reading and learning a whole bunch of stuff and of course staring at a lot of pretty watches. After perusing the forums and the trusted dealers websites i decided on the Yellow faced Seawolf and a Black faced Transocean. Purchased these watches from Perfect Clones and I am very super duper happy! Ordered them on Thursday 28th of Feb and they arrived yesterday 8th of March! here are the links to the watches. http://www.1-pc8838.com/blsw00008s-seawolf-ssss-p-12529.html http://www.1-pc8838.com/blt10007m-transocean-chrono-ssss-black-os20-p-12130.html Anyway... thought I should share some photos with you guys. Album link: http://imgur.com/a/9IZKM Thanks,

The 1030 is what that case was made for so a skilled watchmaker should be able to fit it in for you. The dial is very important, I can reccomend a good one based on your price range. Gl with it! This is what mine looks like

Hugo Boss for me.
