haha OMG i didn't realize you guys were fans of the dynamic duo (& a half)

i must start paying more attention to the show from now

these cars were made of plastic/paper, how else could you work on them?

they were also very easy to repair in case something broke, you could work on the engine yourself. try that with a modern car

too bad they arent built anymore

i'm guessing you're a UAW worker

ohh man

i'm so tempted to get the goldie MM GT now

what color Porsche do ya drive ? pick one that matches the car closest

no clues on Hawaii (yet) but i've been in/around Vegas

wining/dining/clubbing is what most folk do in Vegas but do visit the malls/boutiques.

Can do a fair amount of shopping even with a relatively lower sterling

the Grand Canyon's south rim is nearly 6 hours away so ya might wanna stay overnight when ya get there

dining options are rather limited in the Canyon village though

and if you're a REALLY hardcore outdoor enthusiast ya can even trek all the way down and up from the south side

another option is to head 2/3 hours north into Utah and come down to the Canyon from the north side

its native American territory so the tarmac is as bad as a motocross track but they have the Skywalk which hangs over the canyon so it might appeal to you. Southern Utah is also home to Zion Canyon National park and hwy 9 that heads east off the I-15 goes through some of the most beautiful red rock you'll ever see including a 1.1 mile long tunnel cut through the mountain range.

Perhaps after Zion Canyon, you can do the complete loop & visit Lake Powell in northern AZ (home of the grand canyon) while you're there, come down from the east side, visit the south face of the Grand Canyon and be back in Vegas within 24-72 hours

Near Vegas, you'll be fairly close to Lake Mead so feel free to venture out for some recreational jet skiing/boating with the your lady love. You could also go to Hoover Dam but its just an old place and rather played out IMO

if something else comes to mind i'll post up later

Thank you ... see ya

don't wanna be ya

no but seriously if someone wishes to pursue the conversation i'm more than happy to guide them to rwg

last week i was waiting for a bracelet re-size @ the local watchsmith when a guy walked in asking to fix his rollie's crown

by the time our conversation ended i had scrawled rwg.cc on a piece of paper to him

I searched and looked and couldn't find any website to purchase one of these.

Can someone point me in the right direction, especially if anyone has bought one from them so I can ask them some questions about it.

go through the Collectors' section

why are they using images from genuine items if they're selling replicas ?

why aren't they members on iOffer.com anymore ?

sticky this thread already !

i've heard good/bad things about downtown LA

anyone check it out yet ? i might make a trip coz there's a watchbox vendor too (watchmaterials.com)

passing on the inside ... tsk tsk

did ya podium at least ?

earlier today, i had a long convo about rep maintenance w/a local shop

he said that if a rep automatic is within 30 secs/day he can easily live with it

if it loses more, then bring it in and expect to pay a minimum of $75 for a service/lube/seal job

the only real alternative to absolute infallible punctuality is to get a digital watch

then we laughed about how doctors always wear digital timepieces but are always late for their appointments

superb stuff, man !

y'know that can be a common sight in some parts of Hollyweird

It's either a 074 or 196. I can't remember which was worn in which film... It was a Daylight in one, and the other, well, in the other...

Thanks bossman

lets see if i can score one anytime soon

I don't think you're going to make money short term although I think a SD bought at the right price might keep up with inflation in the mid term.

As an example I bought a new unworn SD at 2900 pounds sterling, if I'd left the money in the bank it would now be worth 15 percent less in Euros and nearly 20 percent less in US Dollars. I would expect to get 2700-2800 for it secondhand so it's currently performing better than the devaluing currency I bought it in.

we are still a long way from the lows of 2001

brilliant pic in the sig though

I believe that was because Chief didn't offer de-casing and crystal removal/installation until recently. If you couldn't do it yourself, Jakub was an easier option.

also that ChiefTang may not have been accepting new jobs

that happened to the first rep i ever bought ... was trying my hand @ badminton, LoL

Thankfully my cuz saw it fly off & we put it back on

went out for drinks that night and lost it again

Luckily the bar was not packed so we found it again

this time i wrapped it in a napkin and put it in my pocket though

i'm pretty sure it came loose during transit coz i still have that watch and it's sitting firmly ever since

Don't you think one faker running for office is sufficient

tru dat !

all i wanna know is why isn't this thread pinned or stickered already ?

looks like they are HQ'ed in downtown LA within the jewelery district

must pay them a visit & pick up a case sometime soon

mad props to ya, man !

so anyone care to debrief me on this TimeZone course ?

21mm ?

helps to know

thanks man

FM for president !

Here is a U Boat replica I just purchased and put in the backyard of my beach house. It is actual size,

and shoots kegs of beer instead of torpedos. Oh, there is a nice clock inside as well

MORE pics please
