This is something that I've been wondering for some time now. I've got two gen watches that the pearl just won't line up at 12 dead center. Is there something that I can do to fix this? Or is it something I need to have a watchsmith take a look at? I know I'm being anal here, but it does bother me to no end. Thanks in advance. z

OK, now I'm thoroughly confused...

Yep, Ball is a very often overlooked company that makes great watches at very competitive prices. I owned one in the past and they're top shelf quality. Thanks for that great write up.

I think he might be referring to the Sub.

From the picture you have the lume seems very good, is it just the way you took the photo or does it indeed have good lume from the rep factory? Thanks and great pictures!

I can't say for EMS, which is widely used by the dealers, but with FedEx, UPS and USPS they just hold the item at your local distribution office. Someone else want to chime in with regards to EMS?

Thanks for the link!

Cheers to all you fine gents.

Wow... I'm simply amazed at what lies around the corner of life. If my 2 cents even matter at this junction I'll state it. Like others have already said, I've no right to judge others as I too am not perfect. Far from it. I think we all know JohnG's actions were wrong and unforgiveable. There are many times in life that I've made serious errors in judgement, but one thing has always remained clear. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Just because you failed at it in the past doesn't mean that there won't be another opportunity around the corner. So... let this be a lesson and learn from your mistakes and drive on. I also have to say that Robbie has put things very well.

I got this a few weeks back and, although I really like the design and heft, I wish it was a bit bigger. Yep, I said it. It's very thick, but a bit on the small side for me. Still a great watch though. People look and have this perplexed look on their faces every time I wear mine.

Thanks so much liquid!!!

If I recall correctly, they do put the red dot back on after service. After I had my old SMP serviced the red dot was there again. To be quite frank, I don't even know if the servicing affected the dot or whether it was replaced after service, but I can attest to paying for it to be service in Swiss at the AD.

To be quite honest, I've yet to see or try on a watch that cost more than say $5k that seemed like it was truely worth it. This has become more so now that I've owned several super reps.

Yeah thank God for guys like Toad.

I recall that she had family over and she said that she'd be back. Then nothing... sad really as she was an awsome memeber that made things fun. I hope she's doing well and will come back someday.

I think you could just get some red nail polish and put a mark there with the tip of a pin.

Please take Toad's advice. He's the noob grandmaster.

I'd also like to know if there's anyone who will work on reps in the metro LA area too. Please PM me if you have the info.

Congrats Toad!!! Many more to come I hope. BTW, where is Victoria??? I haven't seen her on in months. Anyone got any news?

From what I can see on my PO, it looks like red laquor paint but I could be wrong.

One of our members, Francisco, did a review of several PAM dials just recently. I suggest searching for it. Good luck.

Yep, what taz said above. I believe that is a "to be released" model for '09. Just give it time, with two Grahams already rep'd this one has a good chance as well.

Sorry to hear about your little incident, especially since it was a gen. Although I've never experience it myself, I've heard from other friends that have had it happen to them. Amazingly they were all gens and some very reputable brands like Rolex and Tags. I would figure it has to do with the pressure changing, but I asume there's more to it than just that. Maybe the x-tal was and ill fitting one from the get go or something to that effect. Something I would definitely mention it to an AD. Good luck.

Welcome and enjoy your stay. With the info on this forum and the awsome members we have here, the back seat is where it's at.

By no means am I an expert like yourself The Zigmeister, but I got a 201 that Vac worked on. One of my good buddy has a 111 and there was a noticable difference. Now I know that the 111 is a sandwich dial wich is usually brighter, but my 201 with superlume looked pathetic next to it. It didn't even seem to hold a candle next to the gen. Of course, this has just been my personal experience to date. That's why I'm humbly waiting on the sidelines for you to open up your services to guys like myself. (hint hint)
