  1. Ya, without going crazy on a J&W build Spin would be your best bet if he can/will do you one.

    Of cause if you do have five or six grand to spend J&W would be the way to go. Either a case or a complete watch. Cant find a 6235 there ATM but here is their 6239.

  2. For the cheaper stuff WBK is the man! Great comunication, great service and great prices. Also the fastest service available to CONUS. A WBK timepiece will normaly be in your hands three days after paying. He also does an exelent line in wallets, quality stuff. I suspect they come out the back door of the gen factory, no kid! Oh, and he's a real nice guy too!

  3. Actualy if you happen to know somone with acess to the SS canteen there is no restriction on you owning one. Aperantly they had a bit of a rush on 'em when da man made into the white house.

    I'm not shure trying to get a fake SS watch thru customs would be a very good idea :)

  4. Call me snobbish, but who the hell wants to wear a Seiko? :D

    Not that they're not good watches... they certainly are, but...

    SO I supose the Indiglow I happen to be wearing ATM (seriously) ain't gunna cut it either? :lol:

    Seriously I have a few Seikos including my fave 80's quartz chrono (the watch I set all the others by) and I actualy do like them.

  5. +1 on the auto gen. Not for 100 bucks you won't.

    Your two reasons are proberly about right but add:

    3/ people are engageing in an ilicit trade that could concivibly have them thrown in prison so they expect good margins to cover both that and possible losses (if somone rips you off for 10Gs you can't run to the cops can you?

    4/ Factories and wholesalers in China are paying a fortune in bribes and protection money to goverment/party officials and the Chinese Mafia.

  6. Just let me know if you want to sell the new one.I'll be happy to give you say, 500 more than you paid for it :)

    Considering I know what your selling why would anyone in the Mid East want the old girl? Hardly a collectors piece is she?

    Then again there's a sucker born every minute I guess.

    Which reminds me, anyone like to buy a bridge? Hardly used, great investment. No? How about the Sydney Opera House then? Ranwick race course maybe?
