Meh
Good luck finding one of these, I tried for months before buying a 2nd hand box of mixed crystals from the bay - ok, not too gen like but at least I can now wear the watch
.The only other option is from the original dealer.

HiI have a friend with a nice ETA 7750 253 and his crystal has smashed for the 2nd time...
What are the options for replacements , I understand the Asian models are only supplied with mineral glass now and recall a post last year mentioning an option available from Cousins UK ?
Appreciate any advice / assistance or a spare crystal if any one has one ?
Cheers

Have you PMed the new guy?
My SMP chrono is with him now for a winding gear repair, service and maybe a decent relume (he says he can do this but prices individually)
Fingers crossed - I'll let you all know how it goes - I've told him he'll be a very busy man if it goes well.
As for Tom - I've pm'd twice with no response although I hear his work is good.

Ah, sweet! Great minds eh?
Well, I am watchless at the moment (I took apart my Submariner LV and now I killed it, sob!) but will be buying 3 in January so I may be interested in the AR coating then. Of course, it would be nice to see a review of one already done...
Actually, that's a point - I could get my sub lens AR'd! Nowt to lose really, as I can always put it on another Sub or perhaps get my one fixed one day.
So I could be up for it before Chrimble, depending on dates and so forth, otherwise I will certainly be up for it in January.
-Robsa!
A good effort both. We should start getting an idea of numbers?
I have at least 3 needed AR.

Oh, ok - I guess the fact that there were also no gentlemen in Scotland back then should have been a clue - doh!

Sorry. The joke was kind of meant for Lani. He is my brother. Not a US thing either BTW as Hawaii is its own country (thank God for that). But see, everyone learned something about Hawaiian culture accidentally Isn't that awesome? Gotta love RWG. I already learned that they now make white wines without oak in another thread. Now somebody teach me something else here...

I am a US Air Force C-17 Crew Cheif....pritty ordinary yes? haha well ive been following the forums for quite some time. used to post on the other rwg, as i dont get much time to use a pc when i get deployed there are periods where i have to catch up on whats goin on. but other than that i can honestly say i love my job. the sense of pride i get whenever i see my bird fly is incredible, knowing im responsible for keeping her up there and bringing my guys home is even more inspiring for myself.

Well I guess that is an 'ordinary' job but still I reacon we're quite a varied crew and obviously no one is more valid then any other. We're all walks of life and all looking for the very best in rep or gen watches!

Depends mate. do I owe you money?
errrr. 'yes?'

I make that 12 weirdos and counting... unsurprisingly we're all different - still interests 2c what goes on, there are (so far) no 'ordinary' jobs - not sure if that means anything.

Well I gotta figure when my industry is down 35% or so and I'm up nearly double that YTD, I pretty much would have to set the line at one of every gen PAM in the lineup for starters as a fee for shared knowledge. I was thinking of instituting a watch in liue of cash bonus system with our clients anyway so maybe you can be the alpha dog on that front?
Kudos to you man, lemme think about it....
OK! thought about it......................
NO...!
I would need tangibles bro not maybes

Here's all I know:
1. Nobody can predict market direction. Anyone who says they can just wants to get your money.
2. Small but consistent profits are easy to achieve if you can manage greed and fear.
3. Leverage can turn those small profits into big ones with very manageble risk if you have confidence in your model. Not to be confused with confidence in the individual trades.
4. Succesful long/short technical trading is just like playing blackjack in Vegas. I am a good card counter so most of the good blackjack seats in Vegas are unavailable to me. They won't let me play. There is a reason for that. It is because in the long run I can neutraize the house edge and I figure to win. They don't like that. It doesn't mean however that I will win every session. After all it is a game of chance. Or is it? Yes and no. Math is math and there are small but consistent profits in the long run if you can play long enough to achieve your expectation. In trading the S&P500 every day I can play long enough, but I don't win every day. Far from it. Last year I won 42% of my trades and booked a 72% annual return in my principle asset class. That return un-levered would have been 12%. But I had the confidence to lever at 6:1. That is the dirty secret of trading models. Most don't return much but if the confidence of the math distributing the same every month is high it gives you the confidence to correctly bet more without taking on additional risks. Simple and elegant but it took me 20 years to figure out how to do it in the way that works for me consistently.
5. Quite simply put everyone could do what I do if they had the discipline. It is 100% mechanized. But most can't or won't because of psychology or discipline or both. They just can't sit and lose a lot without thinking they are failing. They also probably don't understand how to manipulate the math to better understand what it is that they do. Most want to react to what they see and I realize that what I see is not rational. The best thing I can do is not try to have an edge and be purposefully unbiased so as to make the game of trading most like a gambling game. That is to say an even money proposition. The closer the numbers are to 50/50, they easier it is to evaluate the management of individual trades so as to achieve the cardinal rule. Win some. Lose some. But always try to win a hair more than you lose...
As I said I'm just a hotel owner by the sea, however, when I consider how it is out there atm I feel like I got it easy. I spose you think you warrant the Pam253? you gotta do better then that man.

Owner/principle trader of a small private equity long/short hedge fund. We also have a new business unit which develops automated trading and hedging system software for investment banking and larger fund of funds clients. The goal in the relative short run being to white label enough of my software systems to replace the income from managing client capital, which is lucrative but brutal...
Can you teach me all you know, I'll swop you a PAM253 with a shattered crystal
