i'm going off the rails on a crazy train . . . . .

you should always monitor your cards regularly online report fraudulent chargs with 48 hrs of you dicoverin it and your max libility is 50 bucks if you are a good customer thy will never charge you. re: customs no more paper trail then paypal. and josh's server not likly to get seized in china. small overall risk even if you get caught worst thng that would happen is a fine. your not going to jail for buying a couple of reps

get the chinese movement 45mm PO i recomend black bezel red numbers

Josh is really getting ambitious, an 88,888 rep http://watchwindersworld.com/1433-p-2629.html

while there isnt alot of thread on my crown to work with i can screw it more than 1 turn and my end links are perfect. i know that mine actuallypassed through josh's hands dont know if i am lucky or the recipient of some extra qual control

yeah i does. i saw another one of their modes that looks just like navtimer funny how that happens even gens ar reps

Well, as many of you have read Mr. Gladeraider put forth an interesting proposal to the masses asking for someone to step forward and pony up the bucks to front the needed improvement dollars for the forum and he would send that person a Mystery Watch that happened to be "right in front of him" (i'm glad he wasn't in the bathroom at the time) well - after much anticipation it has arrived ! - And its a GEN!! Its a very nice watch - Gen Gator band with Deployant - Valjoux 7750 (a real one) great shape, nice watch. I don't know much about the brand, have started to look into it. Seems they make a wide range of catagories of product. what can i say right- of course, i don't deserve any credit for the forum upgrade that all goes to bill - i was just looking to Reap Huge Rewards by putting up some cash I think everyone should thank him for his generous offer, it was a real great thing to do. And i have gotten to know him on a personal level over the last few days as we have spoken. He is an amazing guy and i have alot of respect for him not only in his watch tastes but his strength and convictions relating to his family. They clearly come first in his life. This is yet another amazing individual i have met through the forum - and i as i always say - you all would be so amazed if we could all get together in one big room to hang out - some of the most interesting people i have met are involved here (and i have met some real whoppers in my regular life) So lets everyone Raise a glass to Bill - Class Act #1

Yeah, you know its funny, i went back recently to this post and was going to erase it from my signature cause i figured it was becoming really outdated, but i read through it and i realized that the underlying thoughts were still relevent. At the moment i'm trying to raise a 6 mo old child, work a full time + job and open a small business. - oh yeah, and my sciatic nerve is F-in killing me. but i'll try to put some time into this tonight and clean up the obvious stuff like links and maybe add some more thoughts. Glad i can contribute something positive into the ether

I think the lume on the gen is much more white looking then your average rep. i have only tried on a few Gens but, its really obvious between the gen and teh super green looking when not glowing color on the reps I have had 1 rep that was an early EL 177h that had white numbers and give you radiation posioning glow. even my relumes didn't glow as much as that dial. that was closest to gen i have had. Personally i think the green is F-ed up, its very hard to get nice strap colors cause the green contrasts with everything. Personally i like the white.

PINNED? wow, i'm really moving up in the world - ok, now i feel obligated to actually get to the updates i promised so many years ago

just like the joys of parenthood my joy of collecting has changed and for the better. has the industry taken a dive? no the new watches are amazing and they probably should be a few bucks more. but prices across the board are going up the community has taken a hit. there used to be a natural weedng out process a pledging period so to speak. you had to figure alot out on your own. in the careful what you wish for concept perfectly trusty inc has changed the way our world works. and we have gotten alot of wastes of sperm like tha max idiot who continues todefend his paypal complaint. i was getting sad about the most recent batch of bucks spent on my collection till i got my po and bce and even the noobmariner. my collecting is really an obsession. i will never be satisfied and its usually a let down to actually get what i want. i am sick that way. but honestly there could be alot of worse things i could focus my obsessive compulsive tword. as "forums" continue to become more mainstream and the internet genration comes of age our world willbe constantly changing. good bad i dunno but changing yes. there are still a lot of special people around here and for me its still a great experience. i thinki should be more cautious with some of the newer folk. its just the nature of the beast. you dont appreciate it as much when you didnt have to work for it. and or you didnt watch the evolution. can you imagine your first rep being an ultimate po for 150 bucks? where do you go from there? down

If you have to chose 177h - modded 45MM PO red number black bezel Breitling Chronomat Evo Graphite Rolex LV Sub

i ordered the orange bezel, i got a black one, with orange numbers. I got a replacment bezel and decided to keep the black. I like the orange understated numbers the nice pure white looks cool in the photos, but i like the dark dark black red - what i like abo ut the black bezel is it makes the dial feel like its 45mm the orange brings that dial size/ illusion/ profile down i think there is alot to be said for that nice ticking eta - smooth, i really wanted that in a nice daydate but those reps when i tried to go there they weren't up to snuff. I have ALWAYS been a chronograph guy but this has turned me into a nice simple sweeping guy In fact, i now want to get the steelfish which i hadn't before considered, cause i want another "super rep" with a cool sweep.

if you want a vintage and your going to do it right - then you got to have an MBW also - i think if your a long term collector - you should have 1 in the collection just because its the most infamous Rep there is you still have to 'know someone" to get one unless this group buy works

you know i finally have my dream "ultimate" chronomat and i still love this crazy omega that i never wanted in the first place its my fav to

there is a consensus that there is no such thing as a perfect collection see my thread on teh subject

go ultimate PO, amazing rep straight out of the box - one of the best ever.

"This is a GENUINE watch!" well, it is a watch - and, for the first one - looks like it has some Zenith in it, from its mother's side

"Badges!? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!!"

They are trying to sell you a watch!!! I'm telling you my fathers breitling i think the rotor fell off, not sure but its F-ed up. And - for those that don't think golf is violent - they have never played golf - nor have they thought much about the physics of it. Remember, the amount of turn your shoulders do is magnified because its farther out in the circle - you know, like riding the flying chair at the circus

And true to form, i already have a tracking number - ohhh, how fun this will be I wonder if its one of those Esploding crystal watches - always wanted to see one explode up close - that would be worth it at twice the price:) I shall bring my camera to work and you will all share with me as i open them AND hopefully the server won't HANG !!!

no guts no glory

done!

F- It, i'll bite my wife is going to shoot me

So, i'm not cool anymore cause i don't have an MBW
