  1. Collecting watchess is becoming an increasingly expensive pursuit - all the more reason for you to consider booking your prized pieces in for a periodic check-up with a respected buth slightly eccentric watch doctor (like The Zigmeister) Mechanical watches are powered by machines with moving parts that are subject to friction (dont start looking for Metaphor), which leads to wear. Wear, particularly excessive and unnecessary wear, has long been the bete noire of watch enthusiasts. Early detection of problems especially for rarer or cherished models (=old timers) is a front-line defence. Wear can ultimately cause a movement to arrive at a state of collapse - more a candidate for an horological nursing home than under the dial of a favourite piece. If you felt your ticker miss a beat or two, would you simply press on to the point of reaching a state of collapse or would you seek professional intervention? Arguably, the same should apply to that little ticker on your wrist! There's an old saying that goes,

  3. Trash talking can sometimes be quite entertaining...but obviously it has to be within certain very broad limits...no fun = fewer members or less activity on the board I used to pay here and on the old sites but not so active now.....thus I am not objective when saying "it should be free" Happy timekeeping Just an old ax swinging Norwegian horologist Gunnar:drinks:
  4. Ill have to ask my fiancee if I may wear these....but does it not hurt wearing heals?

  14. Understandable......my idea way back was to start up a line of RWG watches that would develop into a brand of its own (Homage watches not true replicas) and not to make the perfect replica...I guess making a perfect replica can lead to individuals trying to sell it as the real deal and that would be a shame ..its against everything this board stands for...and yes if things can go wrong sometimes they do. But I like the notion that someone wants to make the prefect replica to show that its possible and to put the pressure on the ones making replicas today
  15. Creative censorship In this form of censorship, censors rewrite texts, sometimes giving these texts secret co-authors. This form of censorship is used in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four...ive done myself it in the olden days....
