Yes, I was busy composing my question while you posted it. Usil

I was just adding up what I paid for reps this year (I have been avoiding this) and I spent about that amount. But, I still prefer my reps to the one IWC. Usil

Quick, the IWC GST Chrono Automatic TITAN 3707.003 is marked down from 3000.00 to 2759.00 €. Usil

So, what is the trick to putting them back on? Usil

I don't know anymore if I am now just sensitive to what people wear, even in movies, or if it was really placed front and center for full impact Usil

I just saw Miami Vice and noticed a big IWC prominantly displayed several times plus the IWC bracelet logo on the Ricardo Tubbs character played by Jamie Foxx. It had two opposing (3 - 9) sub dials but I am not familiar enough with IWC to know what model it was. Usil

You are not an idiot. You gave it a good try and once you settle down, you will research and fiind replacement hands. Then, things will look a lot better and you can chaulk one up for experiance. Good luck. Usil

Just checked my mail today and happily received my PAM 187 from Neil. This is the 4th watch I have recieved from him and each transaction went perfectly. Delivery time is usually about 3.5 to 4 weeks. The watch is in perfect operating condition. Nice tight rotaiting bezel, markers are welded, perfectly aligned sub hands and running smoothly. Hugh watch but fits nicely on my large wrist. Happy customer. Usil

Yea, we are back up. Usil

I saw the Graham I wanted and ordered it but was informed they were just sold out. Waited a few more months and saw another one I liked, went to order it and again told that it was sold out. I still look but am giving up hope. Usil

Wait till the RWG is moved to another server and we all have to log on as noobs again. Usil

Your best deal will be with a trusted dealer here in the forum. It is pretty much a crap shoot if you do not know where to go. Spend you time enjoying yourself and not looking for watches. and WELCOME. Usil

Just logged on and clicked on ' View New Posts' and got a screen that said: This menu has been disabled I had to re-log on. Maybe someone is trying to hack the software? Usil

I don't do individual stocks. Too much effort. I prefer Mutual Funds. Usil

Just went to a thread and got - permission denied. Then clicked to go back to main area and got the following message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /members/index.php on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I had to re-log back on. Usil

I parked my investments temporarily in a cash account at the last peak so currently the account is up 11.5% YTD. Past month has been hash and the market does not seem to know what to do. Dangerous times and I prefer to wait a while. Still think another adjustment is coming this year. After that - bounce back in for a little ride. Usil

I just now clicked on a thread and it said I am not authorized to view that page. Maybe the server is about to go down again. Usil

I have gotten that a few times too. Strange. Usil

Well, 2 years is conservative. If it lasts longer all the better. I follow all posts about straps and those that have pictures are best. But, I will take my time before I ever buy another strap. Too many unused ones in the drawer. Usil

I have just clicked on my RWG shortcut and got an opening screen minus the skin. This has happened three times in the past few days. Click on it again and the skin appears. It appears random. Also, several times, once logged on, I click on a thread and it takes me to a new log on page to re-log on before I can read the thread. Sometimes this happenes and sometimes not, again random. I know that RWG has had some server issues lately. Could this be part of the problem? Usil

Looking good is part of it but it has to feel good on the wrist too (especially the wide straps for the Panerai). I have one strap, a Toscana Vero Cuoio that has the look and the feel on the wrist that I like. It is not an expensive strap but is the best one I have in my collection. If they all felt as good I would be happy but all the others I have are a poor second place - they look ok but just don't have the comfort. Usil

I would like a strap to last at least 2 years. Watches gain 'character' over time with the wear they receive, the strap should do the same as well as hold up to use. I am still looking for a good 24mm 'horned gator/croc' - (125/80) strap for less than 100.00. I know that I am dreaming but this is my dream strap. Usil

I have more difficulty buying straps than watches. I have bought so many bad ones that are not what they seemed to be in the pictures. Stitching is part of it. Usil

The band and the watch go together. Can't wait till mine arrives. Usil

Oh, I wasn't putting all the pieces together. Thanks, Usil
