Now I'm semi obsessed with making straps.... THANKS A LOT

Seriously, I've been taking apart old leather items and experimenting making straps according to your excellent article.

49

The finish is a shiny jet black. Very striking and impressive.

This is my current grail watch... one version already posted here.

This watch is nearly as much a rep as the others we buy and love... came in the mail from Ron yesterday, and I"m lovin it.

I've had two daytonas with asian 7750; the old one without running secs @ 6; and never had one problem with either one. I don't think it is recommended to change the date near midnight with any chronograph.

What did I do wrong this time?... was it the 'lazy bastard'. Doesn't anybody watch the movies or know something about sarcasm?

Sarcasm doesn't come across very well in written language, in my experience. Just my .02

I was sold a rep as genuine by someone on ebay. That started me on a quest to learn about reps. Search engines turned up lots of the $1000 rep sites then eventually I stumbled onto RWG1. I lurked for a while and saw that your are generally an honest and helpful bunch, then started posting occasionally and buying reps.

I hope this is not a stale topic; I thought it would be interesting to read your stories and compare my own.

The Zigmeister, your reviews are always top-notch and valuable. Thanks!

I've been a member of both RWG (guide) and TRC for over a year; though I don't post a lot, I visit the rep sites regularly. I've dealt with several vendors and other members in trades and sales of my watches and theirs. I don't get much time to post as I'm a doctor and get online at work between patients, but I like to talk watches and reps. Hope to get to know those of you I haven't "talked" with yet.
