Thanks for the welcome - much appreciated. My guess is that we were using far too much bandwidth. Maybe this can be sorted out with an upgrade of the hosting plan, maybe not - time will tell. Either way, I think I can speak for all of the guys when I say that we're glad rwg.cc is here

Thanks, John - good to find you here, mate.

As I've said before - if bucks is all it takes, I'll be glad to contribute, too.

Another refugee says hi... Hoping this ain't the end - anyone heard from JB? ... and I was sooooooo close to powermax......

A 111h wears pretty big - it's a LOT bigger than the Rollie (I have a day/date too, and it feels tiny). It's really just down to what feels comfortable to you - so long as you're not 12 years old, it shouldn't _look_ too big - whether it _feels_ too big is really just down to personal preference. Personally, my 111h is my most-worn watch. Love it.

It's a spurious malware report. Chrome obviously thinks that domain spreads malware - however, what it's picking up on is the domain hosting the avatar belonging to the OP. You can safely ignore it, but this is what you get from using beta software

There's another way of looking as this: You start off dead. Enjoy the peace as it's the last you're going to get. You wake up in a Nursing home. You pee yourself several times a day. You gradually get to where you stop peeing yourself so you get kicked out. You spend several years wishing you'd paid more into your retirement fund. The gold watch you are given on your first day at work is Chinese. You work 35-40 years or so, earning less money each year. Your kids change from adults back into teenagers, with all the whining that ensues. You finally become young enough to get back into school and are promptly beaten up by the school bully. You have to learn algebra. Again. You start peeing yourself. Again. You spend 9 months floating in comfort, true, but the noise of stomach rumbling and farting keeps you awake You finish off as "are you finished already?"

I'd be very happy if my son bought me a PAM113

Never mind anything else - 22 Panerais. In a year. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit. I'd be in heaven. Totally awesome collection you have there. I can see I have some catching up to do......

A third recommendation for Euorotimez - you won't go wrong with Chris.

Yeah, but when watch is without chronos, a 21J will do nicely. Chronos are where quartz reps make sense imho.

I have a quartz AP ROO, which is a stunning looking watch and looks like real quality. Cost me under $100 and certainly beats the hell out of worrying about 7750 secs@12 problems. I still like my automatics, but quartz is very tempting for some of the more complex chronos...

3, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13 but basically, sell anything you want but keep the PAM and the VC....

The Santos is on my wish list too, but I particularly like that grey dial/strap combo. Very distinctive

Works every time - no scratches - much easier than rubber gloves. HERE

Reps are going to be 220 (for the real cheapies) and 316 for everything else. 904 is found in gen Rolex only, 440 is only gens - there are no reps made of 440l steel.

Eurotimez, Precious Time, Homer, Narikaa are all EU-based.

A thing of beauty. Must buy one myself - currently my 111h is my favourite watch

Man, that's an impressive beast. I'm still in love with my 111h

Newly-acquired Pam 111h @Andei3000 - love the IWC - such a distinctive & stylish look

They're yet another of those companies who buy inexpensive Chinese-built replica watches, put their own name on them and sell them as their own designs at higher prices than you'd pay for a rep. Don't bother - you can pick up several skeleton designs from most of the better rep dealers. You'll probably wind up paying less for 'em too.

I used to feel the same way about PAMs, but they grown on ya..... Meantime, how about a Vacheron Constantin Overseas as an alternative to the Ingy?

.... Let's call the whole thing off....

She may be the cutest thing I've seen all week, and I'm not even a big fan of dogs. Absolutely adorable! Sorry for your loss, though.
