Well put indeed. There is some damn good advice in there! Col.

Farrrrrk! Nothings gunna stand in the way of that! How do you sandbag for ice? Col.

Well, as I suspected Melbourne definiatly has enough for a meet and Sydney looks oke as well. Great! Looks like Ken may have a few more guests at his birthday! I'l let this run for a weekor so and then start colating the info. Col.

:rofl: :rofl: Great answer mate! Col.

RWI recently established a system of regional co-ordinators for organising GTG events and muggins me got his name put foward and foolishly agreed to take on OZ. In talking with AHW (she's co-ordinateing the co-ordinators) it was decided that due to the small number of Aussie members it would be best to run this across the two RWGs as well as RWI. So, with TT's blessing this is a call to all you members from OZ to either post here or PM me with your location and any other revelent info so I can build an idea of how many folk we can muster in various parts of the country. If you travel to other states regualy or can do so please indercate this info as well. I think we can muster enough folk in Melbourne to kick off there and then proberly something in Sydney that both Melbourne and Brissie/SEQ and nth coast NSW peeps as well as Syd folk may be able to attend. Let's see just how many Aussies are out there. Any input from fellow Aussies welcome. Regards, Col.

Thank God, much better. Col.

If you want to try this I can put you onto a dealer who can supply a bare A7750 MVT. Col.

I gather you allready know a bit about watches? If you can pull that off you would have a line a mile long of folk wanting the mod done. Col.

Very nice! Since you take shuch great pics don't forget the photo comp! Col.

Ummmm . . . . .No.

The poster with the dummy hand is up on the avenue. Near the theater from memory. Col.

Now that is one hell of a good idea! Alltho none are super reps there are some damn good reps under a couple of hundred bucks and some real dross as well. Sorting the wheat from the chaff is not easy especialy when a lot of the time the folk buying these cheaper reps are not as well versed in reps (read noobs) as those buying the more expensive stuff. Lanikai: If you wanna make it a interfora effort them by all meens we would love to help. Col.

If you must go for US based there is also WBKtime over at RWI (not on the list here but a damn good dealer IMO) but from the US you are realy safe with the China based dealer of your choice. Very rare to lose a watch to US customs and most will replace it for you if the worst happens. Col.

Ummm: Sorry Chief, couldn't resist. Nice watch BT. Now stop making us jelous. Col.

Get the ETA quartz MVT. Who is going to question a quartz model SMP? Col.

Those drivers look like the same ones I got from Offshore. the're a fine driver. A little longer than the Bergeon drivers which is a good thing IMO. When you order replacement blades just order the gen Bergeon ones. They fit perfectly. Col.

Now I don't know jack about this 'un but wot andreww said makes sence to me. That would require removing the hands however. Don't put the glue in the holes if you're not removing the dial from the MVT. You don't want tp push some thru and possibily gum up the works. Col.

Never heard of them. Prices seem reasonable but who knows what the service is like. As for their location. Below is the whois info for the domain. That should give you a rough idea Registrant: Organization : lin yalan Name : lin yalan Address : GZ City : GZ Province/State : Guangdong Country : CN Postal Code : 510000 Administrative Contact: Name : lin yalan Organization : lin yalan Address : GZ City : GZ Province/State : Guangdong Country : CN Postal Code : 510000 Phone Number : 86-020-13724191126 Fax : -020-13724191126 Email : Technical Contact: Name : lin yalan Organization : lin yalan Address : City : GZ Province/State : Guangdong Country : CN Postal Code : 510000 Phone Number : 86-020-13724191126 Fax : 86-020-13724191126 Email : Billing Contact: Name : lin yalan Organization : lin yalan Address : GZ City : GZ Province/State : Guangdong Country : CN Postal Code : 510000 Phone Number : 86-020-13724191126 Fax : 86-020-13724191126 Regards, Col.

I'm actualy quite disapointed. I realy wanted one of those but it's just not the same in yellow. Damn and bugger! Homer! Mate! Why? Col.

Hey Lawrence. New here maybe, new to the game? Na Good to see you here. Col.

Of cause the top end is not overpriced. Buy a Lang & Sohne or a Glasshutte and you can see where the money went but the mass manufactured stuff like Rolex, Briet etc is wayyyy over the mark. It takes a skilled watchsmith a year or more to turn out a Lang and a machine less than a day or two to make a Sub. How can you say that a watch that costs less than 500 bucks to make is not overpriced at six grand? Col.

Thanks for the good find. Bookmarked. Col.

You can't get it in rose gold anymore? WTF? This piece was made for RG. Col.

I think that should have answered your question Col.

All thos rolies and not one TT! Col.
