Today was a first for me tears rolled down my face. I had 91 year old women whom I was trying to give an aerosol treatment to, she keep taking off her treatment mask. She was Italian same first name of my recently departed 93 year old Aunt Assunta /Sue. For me it was taking care of my beloved Aunt so I pulled up a chair took her hand in my gloved one and started singing in Italian. She immediately calmed and left the mask alone. So I sat w/ her in my gear seen above singing to her till the treatment was over. I can get through the gear being an old bass choir singer, you will hear me. At the end in a small voice she said you sing beautifully, whatever risks I take they pale in comparison to what I felt , it's all worth it. By 2 Pm it was time for another round I pulled up my chair she reached for my hand I did Latin , Hebrew in choir style & even threw in some JT, "whisper something soft and kind" ( guess the song guys). I see death I see pain I see fear in my patients, myself and co-workers, but this was a day of a small but meaningful triumph , at least for me....................... I can only wish my co-workers in their own ways get these little victories to offset their stress and anguish. The sun will rise I go to bed now , tomorrow once more into the breach but w/ a lighter heart. We shall prevail against this petulance my friends or die trying, I have found renewed strength in the most unlikely place by singing to an old women all alone dying.

Who would pay that kind of prices for reps? $658 is a laughable price for a Chinese knockoff. You can get a nice used vintage Omega for that kind of money. Personally, I just stopped buying them. They are fun watches for $200 or $300 but that's where the limit is (for me). Reps are fun but they have no real value and even finding someone who services rep Rolexes can be tough. And while some of the reps are very accurate they will never have the details of a gen.

The only thing you can do is file down the tube seat between the lugs, but that will only get you a mm or two.

By-Tor, you're still here!!

Guys as you know from my rare post of pics I buy mostly gens. I recently picked up a Ball for a wee bit more than a rep. Lord knows I still have plenty of reps but in truth my cheap quartz ones are just fine to play with (surely have high end ones also), now they may be obvious to our guys but out in the real world just fine. If your going to blow 2-3 grand on a vintage that cost 60 to 100 k well that makes sense to me ( been there done that many times) blowing 4-7 hundred on a V whatever not so much. If I felt I really had to have a gen Rolex or whatever I could sell off a good chunk and get it, WTF is the fun in that I am a WIS I like to have many & my interest changes like the wind it's like trading baseball cards.
