Hi all, Just received my PAM111 Noob rep from Trevor and finally got it working. While one co-worker was impressed with the rep (and he knew it was a rep) another co-worker (a rather pompous [censored] who always has a smart-ass putdown to pretty much anything anyone says) tried to ridicule my choice of rep (ie the fact that it was a high-quality rep instead of a gen). Of course, it was later on that I thought of a good reply. Since we all know at least one person like this, here's what my response is going to be from now on: Him: "That's a fake, isn't it!" (in a condescending, sarcastic tone) Me: "Yup. It's as fake as your girlfriend's orgasms..." If the guy gets angry, my next repy would be "Sorry, mate. I guess I shouldn't have assumed you'd have an actual girlfriend." Be proud of your reps! Just my two cents' worth... DD

I have owned a lot of genuine watches...if I told how many, no one would believe it so I won't. Here is a hint...since 1990 I bought 340 watches with the brand name starting with the letter 'B'...not counting quartz watches or watches for parts. Exceptions: a new quartz Breitling Navatimer 3100 from Alan Marcus Co June 1990 and a new quartz Breitling Callisto from Tourneau in January 1992. . Anyway...me buying a new genuine 'keeper' watch will never happen again because there is no longer any such thing for me (keeper). They all end up traded away or sold and the ones I can not get rid of wind up in a box in my safe. I have not stepped inside a rolex, omega, breitling etc AD in probably 15 years. I do know what I like however...vintage steel or solid gold with acrylic crystal, manual wind or automatic, on a croc or lizard strap. Watches like this have always been my favorites. Note: I have owned a lot of new stuff in the past 10 years 'by default' because a friend had a retail/wholesale watch store and some of it ended up with me when he closed out brands or models. Got a lot of junk too...last Thursday he offered me a used Citizen Promaster 3745 needing a battery. He asked how much I would give him for it and I said 'ninety one cents'. He gave it to me and paid for my breakfast. That's how to buy quartz watches.

This is why I love this forum. There are not many besserwissers here. We help each other out. We were all noobs once.

dusk when you get past quantity ( I have so, so many) you start to think about what your chasing, the verdict is not in yet for me...............

I have been around a bit and buy M2M 99% of the time. I am lucky as I can abstain from latest and greatest trap, once you get over that you can watch the board and pick up some nice watches.Hint: higher cost watches modded by our many talented guys is a sure way to get a good piece ,cost more but then again does it really.................

I make my own nylon gaskets to hold the bezel assembly, you can use a crystal gasket, but you need to find the right size to stretch over the retainer, or cut the crystal gasket to the correct thickness.

This is my franken with a H3 cp upgrade In my opinion it's worth...
