Of years ago and days of magic filled the air.... My favorite rep does not come without a story. I got one of Davids first 202a`s. Off it went to Vac for the Winter of a long time ago. The watch was done finally after many months of back and forth bantering, and some late night hops inspired phone conversations. What I cherish the most is the friendship that came from it. We always started off talking shop at first, but soon evolved into talking about family and life in general. Though I don`t keep in touch like I should with my old friend, I do keep his good Karma with me. My 202a from a long time ago from the Wizard.

For the Doxa guys here, never wear it enough but love it. Been on rubber for awhile and had to hunt down the bracelet for it. Maybe picking up a Gmt Caribbean this week.

Nanuq, was this the other place it was up for sale? http://www.1800lastbid.com/auction/listings/details/index.cfm?itemnum=117130&ID=0 Still waiting for a Blacklung to surface again, hopefully before I`m too old to strap it on myself . I lost out last spring when one came up for grabs, and won`t let it happen again.

A rep that looks pretty darn good for this price was what we got into the hobby for.

Went with this model, the Gold looks very good in color compared to what actual gen pics I could find on it. Painted the bezel screws and cg screws black like it should be and very impressed with how close it is.

need somebody to fix watches in seattle area
pizzanooo replied to jgw0's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
There are a few clandestine shops in Oly & Lakewood. But by your examples of movements they are not worth servicing, just the truth. Better off re-investing your money to a new watch. If you truly wish a watch service on them. Contact Vacuum, a verified watchsmith here who is in the States and will no doubt give you a quote. -
This is reported as a true happening, either way some damn funny [censored]. We have the standard 6 ft. fence in the backyard, and a few months ago, I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make sure this never happened to me, I got an electric fence and ran a single wire along the top of the fence. Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had, made for 26 miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. long ground rod, and drove it 7.5 feet into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with the more you have in the ground, the better the fence works. One day I'm mowing the back yard with my cheapo Wal-Mart 6 hp big wheel push mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the yard. I knew for a fact that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the mower around the wire and reached down to grab it, to throw it out of the way. It seems as though I hadn't remembered to unplug it after all. Now I'm standing there, I've got the running lawnmower in my right hand and the 1.7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow on fire on the cover. Time stood still. The first thing I notice is my pecker trying to climb up the front side of my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the lawnmower ignition firing in the backside of my brain. Every time that Briggs & Stratton rolled over, I could feel the spark in my head. I was literally at one with the engine. It seems as though the fence charger and the piece of crap lawnmower were fighting over who would control my electrical impulses. Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg to differ. Not only did I do all three at once, but my bowels emptied 3 different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix kind of bowel movement, where time is creeping along and you're all leaned back and BAM BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 times. It seemed like there were minutes in between but in reality it was so close together it was like exhaust pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand. At this point I'm about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding onto the fence wire. My hand is wrapped around the wire palm down so I can't let go. I grew up on a farm so I know all about electric fences.....but Dad always had those pieces of [censored] chargers made by International or whoever that were like 9 volts and just kinda tickled. This one I could not let go of. The 8 foot long ground rod is now accepting signals from me through the permadamp Ark-La-Tex river bottom soil. At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to just man up and take it, until the lawnmower runs out of gas. 'Damn!,' I think, as I remember I just filled the tank! Now the lawnmower is starting to run rough. It has settled into a loping run pattern as if it had some kind of big lawnmower race cam in it. Covered in poop, pee, and with my vomit on my chest I think 'Oh God please die... Pleeeeaze die'. But nooooo, it settles into the rough lumpy cam idle nicely and remains there, like a big bore roller cam EFI motor waiting for the go command from its owner's right foot. So here I am in the middle of July, 104 degrees, 80% humidity, standing in my own backyard, begging God to kill me. God did not take me that day.....he left me there covered in my own fluids to writhe in the misery my own stupidity had created. I honestly don't know how I got loose from the wire...I woke up laying on the ground hours later. The lawnmower was beside me, out of gas. It was later on in the day and I was sunburned. There were two large dead grass spots where I had been standing, and then another long skinny dead spot where the wire had laid while I was on the ground still holding on to it. I assume I finally had a seizure and in the resulting thrashing had somehow let go of the wire. Upon waking from my electrically induced sleep I realized a few things: 1- Three of my teeth seem to have melted. 2- I now have cramps in the bottoms of my feet and my right butt cheek (not the left, just the right). 3- Poop, pee, and vomit when all mixed together, do not smell as bad as you might think. 4- My left eye will not open. 5- My right eye will not close. 6- The lawnmower runs like a sumbitch now. Seriously! I think our little session cleared out some carbon fouling or something, because it was better than new after that. That day changed my life. I now have a newfound respect for things.. I appreciate the little things more, and now I always triple check to make sure the fence is unplugged before I mow. The good news, is that if a burglar does try to come over the fence, I can clearly visualize what my security system will do to him, and THAT gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, which also reminds me to triple check before I mow.

IE8 still locks up for me, Firefox fine.

Bumble Bee with me in the water this weekend.

Great to see you posting the collection, and always eager to see your sale posts also. Your Alpina extreme regulator is a great watch, on my second one after trading the first reluctantly.
