I'll kick this one of with the new Gen! Gotta love a good tax return

Change up time. Ok the birth year Grail has landed. She does not disappoint. Very happy with her. Nice early 50th birthday present. Quick pic.

As most of you know I've been a sick flipper the past years. It seems to me that this "phase" is over now... My collection contains 9 reps now from which 5 are with since more than 6 months now...feels like I really made it Therefore I'd like to share the pics I made just now from my latest purchase... A very nice 243 on a rockin Elephant hide strap from PhillyRock... I already ordered swiss 7750 for my Panerais and try to source a swiss 7753 as well as a gen dial for my 187. Since reliability always was my biggest concern it was a good idea to have all my reps with swiss movements. No problems since and I doubt there will be some in the near future. And I bet this is one of the reasons why I don't sell them. I won't get back what I invested so I keep'em

Looks good to me

Ok guys here is a quickie. Polished up the plexi and put on the rivet. I had to trade two of my favorite gens and a truck load of cash [emoji383][emoji383] for this. She didn't disappoint. Dial is flawless.

Wearing this until FedEx shows up [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Beauty! Is it a cream dial or just the light? Either way, congrats on a great pick-up! Here's mine...just have to remember which one is the rep

Personally speaking, elephant hide is not right under any circumstance.

I'm hoping that a lumed one is coming my way!

For the love of all that's holy....

gooood stufffffff Starting to believe trying reps to buy the real thing is a true and real transition. I'm looking at acquiring a 5513 too.

First and foremost; congrats on the acquisition! That's a beauty of a gilt! However, I think we all know that the collecting bug dies hard, and while this will likely satiate you for a while, I am sure that you'll find that the journey is far from over. There will always be another watch... Another grail... to acquire It's an addiction I tell you, and a hard one to overcome. But... There are worse things to be spending one's money on!

Just got this in the mail! I think I'll change watches for today. Tax return well spent.

Here you go (I changed the plexi for a T17, in the build thread it's a T19): https://rwg.cc/topic/181883-57-rlx-6538-2-liner-w-gilt-dial-and-fat-bevels

DW arrived today!

Liga Privada been smoke of choice lately. T52 is my favorite but like the 9 and Undercrown as well. They actually lived up to the hype. Normally a Don Pepin guy. Like Corojo and Hanano wrappers the most. Tatuaje Miami is probably the one I smoke the most. I am an everyday cigar guy and have large humi with several hundred in stock. Some are 20 years old. Love a good smoke especially on the golf course. Glad to see a discussion about em Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
