  1. Dont worry Angus is around...he just gets a lot of emails. Sit tight.
  2. As the title says, this watch works fine but after reseting the chrono, the 6'o clock subdial with not stand up straight at 12 for too long at will settle at 4 or so....is this an easy fix for a watchsmith? Why is it doing this?
  3. The GT's biggest flaw is the bezel rehaut (white area that is too wide and turns with the bezel when it shouldnt). The day/date font is the least of your worries. I sold mine for a Evo...whic is MUCH closer to the gen.
  4. WOW love the 6'er...thinking of getting rid of the SL for one...very nice my friend.
  5. Cars help a bit...Im in my mid 20's and my daily is a 2006 SL500 sport....never questioned about watches if they see the car.
  6. Well I tried winding it slowly and the rotor didnt spin...the chrono was on though. Ill try it with it off as well. Its like after I spin the rotor/roulette table... it spins for maybe 5-8 seconds longer then the other watches and then sometimes kind of goes back and forth (clockwise to counter clockwise 1/8 of a rotor turn) for a a few seconds...or sometimes I hear it wind at the end.. If I shake it harder (jerky shakes) sometimes it will wind without spinning very much or at all. Ps: I also had a interesting experience with one of my Swiss 7750 watches....after it came back from The Zigmeister it just seemd better all around.....smoother...kept better time...quiter, etc. Thanks for your help Rob
  7. So am I manual winding when it is in my palm in regards to "wind it slowly" or am I slightly shaking? I knew something was up whenI received the watch and it wasnt running....all the others had gained power reserve from the trip from China...lol. Thanks The Zigmeister....you are a master and the only option for repairs and mods in my opinion.
  8. I have a new fast beat BCE and the rotor swings around very loosely when I move the watch/my wrist...Ive had many 7750's and actually 3 of these exact watches...but this one seems looser. Its not the rotor screw thats loose but the amount of turns. Does in need lub etc? It distracts me a bit since I can feel it gyrating all the time....maybe this is a good thing? Thanks Cy
  9. Some people order Ultimat BCE's with V1 dials (blue and White etc.) which is missing the subdial mark but is still Ult/V.2 double AR, case, hands, etc.
  10. I have a friend with a gen diamond bezel BCE...my diamond bezel TW Masterpiece looks more genuine then his watch according to the majority of all people who have commented on both pieces. Ive seen many reps with diamonds and most are crap...there are a few that look genuine though. Anybody who knows stones would know but may need a loop.
  11. Ive been on Rep watch forums for 5 years....The Zigmeister is the only guy I would send a watch to period...hope you come back Zig.
  12. Not sure if you resolved this but I personally wouldnt call her or email her again for a while.....I would speak to her at the party as if nothing had happened but also talk to as many other girls/guys as possible (lets call it socially dominating ).....I wouldnt let her know she had caused so much emotional turmoil even though I would probably want to if I fell for her that bad so fast....Lord Rasta is right, at her age she is probably just looking for a good time....Im about that age and most girls I know are the same. If she wasn't at the party I would wait about 2 weeks and then communicate by simply saying, "I hope things are well with you" etc. Many young girls seem to want what they cant have. Sad but true.
  13. At least its large...thats all it has going for it.
  14. Thnaks for the email Trektagger I will contact him....if anyone else has any suggestions let me know.
  15. My usual guy left the business and now I am looking for a good watch smith who will deal with reps in the LA area. If you know of one please PM or email me.....or post the contact info here if you feel comfortable. Thanks in advance, Cy
  16. The AR is very visible on both watches since they share the same AR from the factory.
  17. either way.....its a nice piece for SD lovers.
  18. Looks very good..but will there be an all SS version from this maker? The new super SD looks good as well. The last quater of 2007 is bringing out serious Rollie reps.
  19. The real Jetmid drinks cristal from the tap in his newest jet like the stuff was water...=P
  20. Looks good....are there any flaws...crown guards etc? I wonder if it will take gen parts.
  21. I know...I was at the AD in NY today...........I want.
