plus i dont like to play favoritism and if he did give it to me like that , i would imagine he would want something back in return , just not my style

joe

   ... and the steelfish superocean will be one of the best reps around.

AMK, I guess this is the other side of the coin of 'Frantic Enthusiasm ' that you displayed earlier,

and more than a bit of frustration that Jay did not have the time to research your submission for you,

despite it going outside of his guidelines.

I think you need to understand that Jay is risking a bath tub full of cash to bring our ideas

into reality, so must take the time to make the right decision.

He has already taken us up on improving the Bond PO, which is just about complete,..

and has stated that he will replicate more than one on our list, which is only a list of five...

Jay has proven time, and time again that he is a man of his word,.. so let's give him all the time

and respect he needs to make the annoucement,... after all it's his money on the line.

If you don't care to participate in further discussions.. that's your prerogative, however if you are

going to throw rocks into the gears of creativity and fun for others...

I think it's anti-progressive, and gives a negative impression that can mar us all.....

@RT:

Wrong. I will not be frustrated at all if the EBEL is not reproduced.   (.... though is still part of the second open "wet wish list"  )

In fact I will be very happy if the IWC is reproduced by Jay. 

I am not sumbitting more watches because I and many others members we have already submitted many watches (20+ if you add the deleted ones   ) ..... to be honest I personally consider them enough as a number

.

Of course if others want to submit more.... thats fine with me.

As I said earlier, I still believe that this is a great initiative. 

I never said that either you or Jay you dont stick to your word ......and if I recall that right, I also said that I am not firing against anybody.

Sorry you took it that way.

Not anybody can take a positive critisism.

Few more words ......

I was a bit surpised from your comments.

I am neither throughing rocks, nor I am negative (...pragmatism does not EQ negativism) in my comments and definaterly I am not anti-progressive.

Progession is a step-by-step process.  Step 1:Pick the watch, step 2:make the watch, step 3:improve the watch, step 4:pick another watch ...... and so on.

.... I fell that there is no point to add any further comments or to continue this discussion further.

You can keep going if you wish.

Like the good old days.

Great effort on recovering this TT.

This worths a pinned thread in to the Knowledge Subsection or a specific subforum.

Did they all use "factory supplied" pictures ????

I will check my email settings, it may be the Spam filter blocking it, for some reason, someone, somewhere, thinks I need a penis enlarger...and I keep marking them as spam to try and stop it. Same for my PM, otherwise I end up overloaded with messages...

RG

pls send me a pm or an email through here or suggest a way of contacting you.

Thanks

Andreas

Apologies The Zigmeister,

I did'nt meant to either offend you or to intrude a personal area without permission.

I have tried to PM you first but you have your PM box restricted.

The reason asking for your email addr is because I have already send you an email (regarding a repair) to the email addr you used to have a couple of years ago but I am not sure that this addr is still valid.

I will aprerciate it if you can check your email box and If you have'nt got my email, to either PM or email me (trough RWG) your  new email addr.

Thanks

Andreas

Can somebody pls PM me The Zigmeister's email ???

I have used his a*****1@y***o.com (since two years now) and I am not sure if he is stull using the same one.

Thanks

or it will run ok, if you don´t use the chronos... but why a chrono, if you can´t use it?

That's if you are unlucky. Normally chronos should run OK.

Maybe just luck but in all of my 7750 the chronos run and reset OK.

I like the Panerai ones. Quality also looks good.

@ Kenberg:

Do you think you can sourse this (or similar) ???

Thanks

hi,

money is nothing , really not so important.

i have a really hard job and if i can buy something for a good mood, i'll do it.

rolli

Rolli ,

I can only agree to that.

Do you guys realise that 150 USD for a strap = 115 Euros = price of a "very average" pair of shoes (not fashion shoes)

So aprox 100 straps = approx 100 pair of shoes.

And yes Kostas , as you say , I am not a strap collector ... I am only an average strap user. 

I am speechless.

114 straps x 70 USD (average price , some 40 USD , some 100 usd) = 7980 USD

I agree with many of your comments guys .... but it takes ages.

..... and the released Choppard Gran Turismo XL (which I am dreaming of) ..... is simply bad.

Damn

Defective reveived watches are send back.

This at least what I do.

A LOT OF EXPECTATIONS BUT NO WATHES YET

Ok .... this is not a complain the "pugwash" style.

It's just an open invitations to all dealers to break their silence and inform us about some new and highly expected watches, if and when they will come (am I naive here ?? - most likely yes ). These watches were anounced aprox 2 months ago.

There we go:

1) Breitling Steelfish Superocean (not seen yet)

2) IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Cousteau Divers (not seen yet)

3) Chopard Mille Miglia Gt X (existing ones not recommended due to cheap/bad movements and many flaws)

4) AP ROO (exiting ones not recommended due to many flaws)

5) HB BB wth black ceramic bezel (not seen yet)

6 IWC big Pilot (ok, dealers never said that this will come .... was just a rumour from RT)

Author's foot note: 

In many cases I have wonderd if they dealers do really know nothing

That's looks to me like a very "open ended" situation.

Is Jay looking for specific models or a pile of "desires" from watch lovers ??

In any case I have already posted mine .... and I stick to the Ebel.

@ Ken: since you are dealing with Leather goods, have you ever seen a (rep) MB organizer like the above or similar ??

BTW and for info only: only 75 pieces were made on the genuine .... sort of collectors item.

I am looking for a MB Organizer (rep lether goods)

The organizer below is not seen yet from any of the leather good dealers

If anyone can find this pls PM me.

PS: Apologies for posting this here but couldnt find any other appropriate subforum.

Thanks

RT was telling that one of the dealers is releasing one of these soon.

Never so far.

Remove strap , take few pieces off (but put them all in the package) and declare defective watch for repair.

Dude, the polls ended three weeks ago.

ps. It appears all dealers have access to this rep now. Mail your favourite dealer and get a price.

I know.

I am just stating this cause this one was one of the canditates with a good number of votes (.... I personally dont like the watch).

Since now is out , it leaves an empty spot for another watch.

BTW:   Richard ??? How this goes ???

Still jay cannot access the forum.
