  1. i like the unique look of the brown/brown...would look sharper in ti, but still looks nice in the ss... R-
  2. hey J!... excellent look!...love the almost gothic kind of look to the dial!... definitely the smooth bezel... and nice bracelet, too... R-
  3. sounds like a great friendship...very cool, guys!
  4. only 1?!...a couple breit reps with gen dials count... the person under me has at least one titanium watch...
  5. only 3 times?!... the person under me is not American...
  6. phew...it's been too long since i posted a daily wristie - i actually feel "guilty"... just been buried with a new job - but all is good!... there's only one way to wear a PAM........"ziggified"... Have a great weekend, RWG...off to daughter's vball tournament for the weekend!...... R-
  7. handset...handset... leads are being followed... if anyone has a complete handset - including vintage daytona hands - pls holler...
  8. heyyyy...the search is going slowwwwwwww... actually - i've been very swamped at work and home - all good, but has left me with little RWG time...this, too, shall pass... hunting and pecking around for parts/etc for my Tudor chrono project...spending a lot of time looking for a complete handset... BS Avenger is still available from dealers - but i'd rather find one from a member...
  9. looks nice to me...that's a pretty beafy crown... what/who on the components... well done and thanks for sharing... R
  10. holy crap...an amazing dial... it was actually sold on the bay?!...thought these were tightly controlled?... wear it well - and looking forward to seeing the finished product... R-
  11. definitely rep...v1 pvd skyland... but tell ya what - if it had the pushers and crown it would make a fun distressed piece for $100usd... the question is: how's the crystal and why isn't the crystal distressed...wonder if the owner got the bezel off and removed the crystal...that, unto itself, is a big win...
  12. Update #1: 1) watch "kit" still in transit... 2) gen crown in transit - thanks, Marty!... 3) bracelet on order - thanks, Justin!... 4) various discussions and leads on movements...nothing yet... 5) handset...need to find the right handset - rep or gen...takes same hands as vintage daytonas...prefer charcoal gen hands like Namor's - but think that going with polished ss for now will work... 6) info on tube for crown provided - need to order the tube... ***thanks to everyone for their advice and assistance...stay tuned for further updates... R-
  13. yup...my 2002 Aerospace ti/gold has gold accents that are 20 micron 18k gold... since 18k is soft - you need to be careful to not scuff it off...which definitely happens over time... the real question is: does Breitling do anything to scuffed gold accents when they service the watch...i've not had mine in for service yet...
  14. did he re-lume the pearl? looks good! wear in well!...R
  15. +1 for Blackbard...awesome strap quality and leather - and even more awesome a man!... R-
  16. sexy!... best breitling rep (an gen model, too!)...bar none!... R-
  17. does this mean we can blame Mickey?!...
  18. well done, T!... thanks for your continued excellent commitment and expertise!... R
  19. been thinking about this thread...and have decided that it's tough to acknowledge/recognize members that have made a difference and/or have supported me in any number of ways...i try to connect with people - thru posts, replies, pms, sales, buys...it's because RWG is a community and most members get that!... i value friendships, laughs, concerns, harassment most of all...to me this isn't about acts of material kindness - it's about communal support...many of you have become acquaintances of mine - and quite a few have become good friends... i thank all of you for allowing me to live, learn and give to RWG...you all make a difference!... R-
  20. argh....bad weekend for me...but i would soooooo be there..... great chance to meet A and Red...and to attend a yoga viewing with the King Toad...
