Now I am starting to wonder about the same thing chieftang.....when Asian copies of ETA movements first appeared maybe?

OK boss! g. (I am only a poor peasant from Norway...... )

I do not deny my own history or as you puty it "your inglorious history as a mod at the old board and your uncanny impression of Nero, fiddling whilst RWG-I burned? No??? Thought not." I was bad, maybe worse and I have payed for it and obviously still am reading your lemon posts. That being said I may have been missrepresented by some and chiefly by JF that was the target of my "fiddeling" and it cannot be denied in retrospect that JF was later found to be the real vilain in that sad saga I am honest about my opinions and am not afraid to speak my mind and I do not easily bend to popular demand If it bothers you I am glad for it and wish you would continue your little show of of manlyness...I can bite too if I so wish...your opinions give a glimse into who you are and where you stand (I respect that even if I may not agree with your tone) Now lets see how you fair Happy timekeeping Gunnar Gran

Now this certainly sounds like an insult or two......but we do have free speech. I love to see a man speak his mind (and I will leave it at that not to start any major fires) I love RWG g.

This I like I find this mix of watch and nature to be very much in the spirit of RWG. Great post and I wish I was there and I bet Nanug Rob would love to be there with you too Best regards Gran (Way out in the wilderness...)

Appropriate is not my game now is it? It is highly relevant at least for those of us who remember the long discussions..often mindless ones... on this very subject back on RWG senior and even thereafter....without history we are lost as true collectors Peace and love Gunnarg an

Great movie but the watch looses all interest having "Top Gun" so prominently displayed on it. Its not quite as bad as putting Sylvester Stalones name (or the like) on an otherwise very desireable watch. This is simply just not horology its Hollywood....great for the young and the Gunfixated but nothing for the dignified ones g. (give me that axe of mine and I'll...)

So many answers Great that you have now found the replica movement "Grail" (even if its probably quite unholy...even a sacriledge to some horologist) That being said I am so glad to hear that Klinks words finally and definetly verified by The Zigmeister the masterby the highest authority on this subject around here Humbly from Gran

The world is an inferno makes nme sick to hear such dreadful news. Peace be upon them and my sincere condolances to the families and the entire country

Replicas simply do not last for very long (as functional timepieces) unless serviced properly by an expert..but again this could be a general feature of mechanical watches. Even so my genuine watches are 40+ and 100+ years old an run like clockwork to present. Replicas are for the eye only not for longevity. Simply put "I would recommed to save up for a genuine quality watch if you care for Longevity" Regards Gran

So they do not even wind them up?

V fear being replicated? How very satirical Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me: you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

There should be anumber of OMEGas to selcty from that should fit your taste Even some PLanet Oceanss can be had all black so that is my advise to you. Good luck.

We did this days ago......quite a mess when one has 20+ watches and some clocks too

I stand corrected

Sure is Doc....its seems I am retired...my teeth are all candy and sweet ...everything is all calm and peaceful on RWG these days. Even Neil loves me

Damn.....he has become all civil and all no fun and out to play today today neil?,,,, I got a go play some squash.....

Another rare glimpse of ryyannon(ish) emphaty?

I must admit that its a great looking watch. Perfect for the metrosexual or a big woman

I quote "differences between TTK and a bad Beginmariner" Now this turned our to be only hype but a good review....I am sure there are other differences between TTK and the noobmariner as well and I shall not dare to list them at all in fright of the wrath of that ghreat champion of neandertalstyle luxury (dont forget the neandertal have significant larger brains than most men currently alive myself included) would want to give my a literary kiss.....

That watch sure isnt homophobic ..seriously its a great watch and a beautiful (or even fabolous) tribute to the geat gay avaitor of those early days when men could be real heroes by being airborne and The French were what they still are g. (been drinking again.....)

Damn thats hairy (hirsute)
