TMG - Thank you again soooo much for putting this up in the Raffle! You've been nothing but a pleasure to deal with...he's a true gentlemen...and an invaluable member here at RWG...

Thanks to Lani for putting this whole thing together...truly an amazing guy!

THANKS RWG!

Lucky, lucky man! I'm not jealous...I'm not....really....I'm not.

I'm not, you know.

OK, I am. VERY.

Way to go TeeJay! There's nothing like having a go yourself.

Stick with it and keep going. Practice makes perfect.

Superb shots of a beautiful couple of classics.

I didn't know that Natos came in leather!

Nice look IMO!

Congrats!

Nice idea, and a good shot!

We in the UK are generally running a bit behind the rest of the world it seems

This is my result. I'm with BT, the national phone service provider. It costs me

Speedy Vintage Red ~

Now, I like this model. I shouldn't because it doesn't look like any other watch which I am attracted to; but I love it!

Congrats on a good choice lani!

I feel for you.

I sent back a JVC camcorder recently, as the zoom would work on its own, randomly.

The retailer sent it back to me with a 'fault not found' statement. To add insult to injury, when I looked at the still images saved on the memory card, I saw 3 pictures of the monkeys in the stock room, having a right old time with my camcorder.

In one picture, the warehouseman was giving a 'two fingered salute' to the camera!

I wasn't pleased, complained, and was promptly ignored despite repeated attempts to get some proper 'service'.

Makes you wonder how these clowns stay in business.

Love it! I feel for you, and am right there with you!

I have screwed up much more than I have ever fixed!

Fun, though (strangely).

im deeply dissapointed. well done db2

So I am! But well done and congrats db2!

Even us losers have helped the RWG coffers that little bit, so we have all won in the end!

I'm in! Good luck peeps!

Hang on! Scratch that....I want to win.

Clear off you losers!

A superb idea! Can't wait to see it take shape.

OOOOh....yes please!

TeeJay....that looks SUPERB!!!!!

You could always make one!

Have a look here, and have a go yourself!

Superb comparison shots. Three great models!

Sounds good to me. The last GTG I went to was in 2007. I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!

Let's make it happen. But TBH around Christmas may be a bit busy. Perhaps October/November or January?

Great tip. I would never have thought of this.

Thanks!

No, me bucko,

I be a bandwidth pirate....Ayee!

edit.....

Aaaarrrrgghhhhh! Eeyeee! Aaahaaaargghh!!!!!! Still be the 19th 'ere maties!

@ Red...you can do the mod on this one to make it more visually accurate...if it bothers you.

When you hold these things in your hand, you have to assess at the size of the piece, whether it bugs you enough to have the hour hand in synch with the 6-o-clock subdial, or whether or not you would rather freeze it. I'll probably freeze mine in the future...but right now, it bothers me none.

I took a different view with my Speedy. I removed the 6 sub dial hand, and relocated it 5 hours ahead of the main hour hand. In this way it never looks synched to the eye, and gives the impression of accumulated hours on the chrono. Works well.

Give it a try!

@ hackR....great piece! I need one myself.

To this now...

What do folks think?

Go for it TeeJay. Always full of good ideas!
