Diagnosis: every MAN needs a vice!

Just imgaine if we didn't have these so called "vices" to occupy us. We might already faced WWIII.

Having already tried this in the past, I'd definitively have to say NO. My grial list seems to change with the seaons and the last time I got my grail in hand it only took an entire week for me to start looking elsewhere. I'm not married, but I'm worried as this might rear it's ugly head again. My married buddies tell me that this probably won't happen as unlike grail watches women hit back.

I think that you might be like a lot of WIS's in that you like the chase rather than the capture? I too tend to do a lot searching and lusting after a watch. When I get her in hand, it doesn't take much for me to start to look elsewhere for the next hunt. Even when I get a so-called grail watch, I'm never satisfied. That's why, for me, my grail watch list is always changing.

Now you've done it. You'll never have a normal life again.

Probably should've asked this before purchasing (damn impulse buys), but does anyone know if this comes with a sapphire crystal? Can't find that kind of info anywhere...

I'll shoot off an e-mail to them today. Will keep you guys informed.

This is great new Dani.

This is sort of a tangent, but do you guys know that most postal employees earn something around $30k a year? I mean with all the high priced items flowing through their hands it's obvious this type of stuff will happen. I'm surprised that more crooks aren't caught regularly with all the "missing" packages.

Welcome.

Hey GBud. Welcome to RWG. I think you'll find that this is the only place you'll feel the need to call home. Enjoy.

Where I come from, wearing a Russian watch like a Vostok was a indicator of lower-middle class social status. Today this view has carried over to the point where wearing one is a pretty big fashion faux-pas, because it reminds of days of socialism and financial despair.

So Corgi, buying this one was a mistake? Am I now obligated to go slap my nearest Rooskie??? ;P

Ok, just got an e-mail stating that the watch was shipped out via USPS today from CT. So I'd expect the watch to get here by late this week or maybe early next. Hopefully it'll get here before the weekend so I can do a mini review of the watch.

I remember seeing that Hami PVD'd. Looks so awsome. That PVD coating almost looks like a coat of metalic paint.

Try contacting any of the dealers they should be able to source base dials for you. Good luck.

Wow. Now I'm kicking myself in the a** for not being able to make this GTG. Unfortunately I had another event I HAD to be attend. I am amazed daily of the things and acts I see on this forum. CBR that's a great write up!

Ok, you guys have to offer up some pics with your suggestions.

Absolutely I'd recommend the Santos Chrono. As a fellow big watch lover, this is a must have if you want a dress watch. I bought mine from King 3-4 months ago. I'd recommend the swiss version, wish I had spent the extra money to get the datewheel flush.

Can you please post some pics of that watch? Also, how can you be sure that you got a Swiss version? I thought that Swiss labled watches/movements were in fact Asian copies?

Yes, please do it!!! When you're finished please let me know so I can send you my address.

Welcome Simon.

Welcome. You've come to the right place for your search. Make sure to spend lots of time reading and researching before pulling the trigger.

yes, that's understood. But is it ADVISEABLE not to run chronos all the time (i.e. keep the chronos stopped for most of the time)? Or it really doesn't matter in this case?

From what I understand, I don't think it matters if you run the chrono or not. Since the problem is with the running seconds, which is constantly running whether the chrono is running or not.

Welcome. If the disease hasn't spread you might want to run and not look back.

I never thought of the Patek, but I'm looking for something more square.

I actually really like the Santos 100 XL, but with the bracelet. A buddy of mine has a gen and it's awsome. I looked for a rep, but they don't seem to be very high quality. Am I correct on this?

Welcome.

Wow, the look outstanding.

Honestly, I have no idea about the Roadster. I just remember reading that they weren't very good, but things could be different now.
