....Riddle me that. Who's afraid of the Rock n' Roll Bat!?!? I was just talking about this with hackR! I really don't care either way what people think of my watches, or anything I wear for that matter. I wear them for myself!! If asked outright, I'll say it's a rep, I have nothing to be embarresed about!! Sixx

I got the white MOP Aquaracer with diamond numbers and bezel for my mam earlier in the year, got it off Reg and it's perfect!! She totally loves it, she is a a diamond nut so loved all the shinies on it, but totally loves the dial!! Best tihng about MOP, it never looks the same way twice!! It has hints of blue, pink, white. It's the perfect dial for those who can't make up their mind!! My sister has the gen pink MOP Aquaracer with Diamonds, Regs is SO good, you need to really know diamonds to make a tell on it!! Less common that the Link too! Sixx

Just for clarification, Noddy Holder is the singer in Slade, the British 70's glam rock band! A very much under rated band, they are marked as one of the main influences for Noel Gallagher and Oasis, the Beatles were big fans, noted by Pete Townsend of the Who as being one of the most under rated bands of their era. And of course they sang that bloody Christmas song!!! lol Sixx

Think I may have one, I'll have a rummage for you HA!! Sixx

What, no Noddy Holder shoutin IIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSs CHRIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSStMAS!?!?! Has the world gone mad?!?! Nice one Gio!! Sixx

I like the sound of the PVD and red one, or the SS and red accents. either way, bang for buck, these are serious watches! Big, chunky and hefty! They do have flaws, but then not too many people are going to notice that part of the keyless works should or shouldn't be on show, etc, etc. Just us anal breed!! Sixx

Hey Woodmaster! Firstly welcome to the forum, this is an awesome place with some of the most fantastic people you could wish to meet!! There are people on here who have forgotten more about watches than most of us will ever know, but worry thee not!! They have kindly divulged a great deal of that knowledge within the anals (thats Anals, as in anals of history, so you can stop sniggering at the back there, yes that means you hackR and your sidekick HikeUSA!! Don't think I can't hit you with this piece of chalk at the back corner there Pugwash and you Nanuq!! I know that snigger anywhere!!) and halls of this great fora!! Read lots, learn tons and have a pretty good laugh while doing so!! We have trusted sellers on these boards, you will find them under collectors, or dealers, whatever they are being called these days! All the people you find in there have given excellent service to pretty much all the board members (I heard that snigger, don't think I won't use the eraser if I have too!!) You won't find any shoddy and cheap garbage like you have unfortunately been sent previously, we have all been there, trust me!! Have a browse around and read some of the reviews on models that you like ask questions, we will be happy to help, but please try and find the answer yourself first, you will be asked or told to do just that by some members, not out of discourtesy, just you can only be asked the same question so many times before you get tired of answering it. The search function, just below the shout box, is your best friend, you will find the answers to a lot of questions using it and if you still can't find it, then ask us rabble! Oh, just as an aside, Narikaa has just put new pics up of his new stock, he is also in the UK, and he just happens to have 2 different Richard Milles in stock!! Sixx

You have one of the best right on your doorstep my friend!! Try Bricollio, I think thats how you spell it, he is in Germany and does most of the servicing for the EU guys. If you can't find him, look for Star69, he has his details in his sig! Sixx

Don't you dare start "whooompin" again there W!!! Sixx

cdk847, you can send the other ones to my inbox, they will be safest there!! I went as myself, I was very convincing!! Sixx

They are good guys, Greg_R is on here too. Got lots of smarts in hm that guy!! But if you see Dave123, kick him inna fork for me bud!! Sixx

Very well said Pete!! You have shown exactly what our 'noob' members need to do!! Never be afraid to ask, but always try and do your own footwork first! If you can't find it on your own there will be plenty of guys more than happy to help, myself included! Just be aware, you will be asked, normally, if you have used the search facility or had a rummage around looking for the answer you need, but like Pete succinctly said, you have to take on some of the responsibility yourself!! Again, very well said Pete, I think you are gonna be around for a while! Have fun while you are!! As for the original post it's self, I have to admit, I thought it was only a matter of time before this happened! 2 Guys with a constant stream of brand new watches that 'didn't really do it for them'?! :scamface:!! I love this place and a good few members in it, this place has done a whole lot for me, as some of you know, especialy the guys who know the whole story! So thanks for doing the 'house keeping' and sweeping out the trash!! We all appreciate the efforts you guys go to!! Sixx

Hmmm, a Porsche Flat 6 in Red with the ultra amazing Chiefs AR on it?! Are you sure it was me?! Oh, wait, yes, I have it here now!! Mmmm, Red Flat 6 lovelyness!! :p Oh, and just to make matters even better, I have the Tag red F1 too!! Mmmwahahahahahaaa Erm, I could reccomend a good therapist rather than a watch maybe?!?? lol. Sixx

Huh, wha?!? Whad I miss, whad I miss?!? Damn you looky, sight havin bastids!!! Sixx

What do you need BB? Maybe someone here can help you out?! Sixx

Ubi truely is different class!! As is the OP in this thread!! TT was one of the first members I spoke to, I had read his review on Peter's (iwatchstation) Skyland v1/3.5-52 . I went forth and bought not one, but 2 of em, one for me and one for my Pop. TT was great, talked me through some things, gave me hints and tips here and there, now, well now we have a very firm friendship, rarely a few days go by where I don't enquire to the health of those in 'Toad Hall' making sure the Tadpoles (Bufo Major and Bufo Minor) haven't destroyed anything too expensive or have picked up some new and interesting vocabulary! (Bufo Major discovered the F bomb not so long ago, that was painful for TT and just painfully funny for me!! ). We have had shipping disasters that not even Steve Mcqueen et al could get us out of, but still the friendship thrives! As it has with many RWG members, hackR is a constant on my email and PM box as he trashes and weaves his way to work while telling me of the weekend and how the kids have done in their chosen sports on his blackberry. Then there is HikeUSA, alround great guy with arms like a gorillas!! Rarely a week goes by without some form of PM whether it be a short hello or a long 'here's what we did this week'. There is Lanikai, our resident raffle king, he does those out of his own time and normally out of his own pocket too, I own one of his watches won in a raffle at the begining of the year. He keeps this place ticking over with boundless enthusiasm and cannons to make the fittest of us 'young pups' hang our heads and slouch off in shame!! lol. Not only that, he knows practically everyone on here, he makes a point of it, if you been in his raffle, you been in his mind! Trust me, I still get messages if I haven't 'shown face' for a while, just to make sure I'm ok and still ticking. Where else do you get that?! Exactly, no where but here!! Thats why I feel this place is so much different to all the other fora, there is community here, people who actually truely give a sh1t whether someone is alive or not, who will go way out of their way to send a part or a package of watches because the seller doesn't want to send to that particular part of the world. Will happily take sometimes days out of their lives to write up reviews and do's and dont's, to help the horologically challenged amongst us (I'm in the vanguard, trust me! There have been a few reviews that have saved me plenty of bucks and earned me even more knowledge!!)After readng them, just take the time to think how long it took you to read it, then think about how long that would take to research, draft up, then finally put down on screen, so to speak! Next time you read, just take a couple of minutes to think on that! I know I have banged on about this several times in the past, but it's true, we have guys that can AND WILL help you with a whole plethora of problems that have nothing to do with watches, just for the sake of helping a fellow member! I take massive pride in the fact that I'm a part of all that, a very small part admitedly, but happy a small part than no part at all!! RWG, stands for friends and family in my book!! Oh, yeah and Ubi, PM me please mate, I got that Daytona for you! Sixx

I would say $300-350 is very fair OS, I like the Bulova's, they are really bice pieces for the most part, there are a few stinkers out there unfortunately. But putting in the fact that you need to get a new strap or bracelet and it needs a service, I would say your price is very fair indeed!! Sixx

Nanuq, clic on hackR's link and go to catalog, then click the top left hand link on the page and it's lot number 22. Have a look my big Minty friend, I think you will like very muchly!!! Sixx

If you have a wander through the catalogue, you will find something to make Big Minty Bear (Nanuq) and the 'Meister (Lani) drool into their cups over!! Vintage Doxa anyone?!? http://catalog.antiquorum.com/catalog_asta.html?action=list&s_batch=3 Sixx

This is my baby for today!!

Oh yes, that and the B&M I bought from Bike Mike are the only 2 getting time right now!! Sixx

I was very tempted myself! But your Chopard was just too good to pass up!! Sixx

Looks a bit like the real early Link model. Try having a look for F1 drivers, usually Maclaren, you might find a similer model there. It sounds a good bit like my dads F1 Maclaren, except his has the drivers and team boss signatures engraved on the case back. I would say thats your best bet, or google sports stars who wear TAG watches, you may find your model in amongst all of them. Either way, sounds lik you have a real nice watch there mate! Sixx

Nice catch Mickey, I know you have been liking these fo a while now! Must have grown on you as time went by!! She's a beaut mate, great snag!! Sixx

Lol, I think we all get the Hike bug from time to time!! Now I'm going to have to pick out a few to go to the FS board!! Man this will hurt more than my creakin bones!! BikeMike, your B&M is a beauty, love the feel and tactileness of it, great piece, thank you for a great sale!! Some of the others coming in are 'super Reps' from out of Tazzmans watch box, we all know how well he cares for his pieces and the stunning mods he has done to them! One in particular I can't wait for!! Hike, your PAM will go through the Scottish right of passage before the trip over the Pond. It may be a tad hungover when you get it!! Have spoken to hackR about his incoming and he has some stunners on the way!! Still gutted for him that he had to sell his VC Over seas, that was his baby man!! P4GTR, that was all class bud, that really made me laugh, thank you for cheering me up in this damp, cold country I call home! Hope everyones 'incoming' get there in good health and are worn in better health!! Sixx
