It is my #1 spot. Home away from home. Usil

Used reps are worth what people are willing to pay for them - end of story. Usil

Excellent - this needs to be a sticky. Usil

Variety is the spice of life... Skagen on Friday: Caseblanca tomorrow: Black Seal on sunday: PO on Monday: Good old Breitling Chono Avenger the rest of the week on a short trip. Usil

Does anyone have an extra - spare - SS bracelet link they could part with for the Breitling Bentley GT? If you have a spare link and screws I would be in your debt if you could send it to me. I will - in kind - send a spare Panerai buckle. PM me and we can make the trade. Thanks, Usil

Great story. Looking forward to more plus the pics of the Breitling. Usil

Happens to me at the end of the day. I size my bracelets at the end of the day and never at the beginning. I used to make the adjustment too tight but hey, these are bracelets so they are supposed to be loose and it feels fine now. Yes, the watch does not stay centrally located on the back of the wrist but that is just the way it is. I don't find that I have to change holes for leather bands so I am thinking that the leather shrinks and lengthens as needed with the wrist movement. Usil

Sub on a nato would be perfect. Usil

Hire a truck, go back and haul the dumpster to your back yard - dump the dumpster in the back yard - take the dumpster back. they will never know. Ebay will make you rich. Usil

Excellent review with good pictures and great comparisons. Usil

I am like you but I did not buy the watch. TTK's pics were perfect and the description of the quality was difficult to set aside but in the end, it just did not do it for me so I did not get it. Maybe a member purchase at a reduced price some day but not right now. Usil

One of my favorite Northern Italy locations. Between Merano and Cortina the moutains are breathtaking. Usil

Bending the spring bars will weaken them. They make bent springbars for this. Just google and find them. Usil

Here is my tutorial for the UPO bracelet; You will need several tools. Removing: 1. A pin removal tool that has a thick pin. This is needed to start the pin out of the bracelet so that the removal pin does not bend in the process. 2. The pin tool above will only get it out about half way so you will need another pin tool with a longer pin to get it out a little further. You need to get it out at least 3/4 of the way to start using pliars (carefully) to remove it the rest of the way. 3. Using pliars, pull straight out. If it is not already at least 3/4 the way out it is very likly you will break the pin. Replacing: Align the bracelet and using pliars, start the end of the pin a little into the bracelet. Make sure you use some oil on the pin before inserting into the bracelet. Slowly, push straight. It should go in at least 1/4 to 1/2 way. From here on it is impossible to get any further unless you use a small jewlers/watch hammer to lightly and repetatively tap the end of the pin the rest of the way in. You must do this a little at a time and make sure you tap exactly vertically so as not to bend the pin. The plastic end of the hammer can be used at the start but you will probably find that the end of the pin start to embed into the resin and you will have to change to the metal end of the hammer as it gets harder to move the pin. A note on the pliars. Use carefully so as not to scar or bend the pin. I used a pair that had flat on the end with no teeth. This is the procedeure I used on all three UPO's and it worked each time. But, you have to have the tools and don't even start to do this unless you do. Good luck. Usil

Welcome to the group. Usil

Loved that movie. Saw it many times. Usil

I get withdrawals when you don't post every day. God speed on the next leg of your journey. Usil

How about killer whale eating guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuJyL4rqKkM...ted&search= Usil

Good story but personally I would never have done this. The AR coating looks great on crystals and I don't care if it looks different from the Gen. This is a rep and I will take AR over no AR any day. It looks nicer on the watch. Usil

Great looking watch and good story. But don't stress out so much on future watches - life is good. Usil

The work of a master. All I can say is WOW. Usil
