Well I dont know about the learning, researching, buying and selling thing , but the dry sarcastic humor will be greatly appreciated, welcome Mike

The hornback Is about as good as it gets Imho, beautiful work

Nice looking piece, dial looks almost like sandstone. Nice work, thanks for sharing

Le Mans ?? does seem to ring a bell Welcome to RWG or better yet welcome back. Mike

I could not agree more Teejay, I dont often wear a watch more than two days In a row, almost any watch can keep desent time for 48hrs. But If you wear a watch for several days at a time,then accurate time keeping Is much more Important. The 23j movement In my UN Is probabbly my best time keeper over a several day period. It's a great little movement that I can have regulated when necessary.

I think this Is one contest thats??? Well no contest. game over, you win

absolutely

Points well taken my friend

Then It will probably be as accrate and depenable as a watch can be. I do like some anadigi watches, this Is one them, enjoy

I agree with some of your suggestions/Ideas but not all of them. The reason Is that we are not all In the same boat. What I mean by that for example Is, some of us would rather purchase new watches, never know how the watch you are buying was treated, not really. If there Is something wrong with that watch, chanches are you will not get a new one In return. Some people rather not soak a lot of money Into a rep. If they going to spend a $1000 or so they might want to consider a nice gen, say a Hamilton for example. Most $300.00 reps that are serviced are going to be about as good as a rep can be. Maybe not as accurate but certainly as dependable. I agree that sometimes we need to Install gen parts on are reps, especially crowns/tubes etc. I do agree that purchasing the best out of the box rep Is probably a good Idea, thats what I try to do. I would rather have one really nice rep than say 3-4 cheep ones. Im not saying cheep reps cant be good (Hi TeeJay ) all Im saying Is that I perfer the better movements and better reps and better movements usally go hand and hand. I guess the bottom line for me Is, one should buy what makes them happy. RWG Is a deverse community, not everyone likes or wants the same thing. The "passion" for this Horological genere Is are common ground, as It should be. Thanks for your thread. Mike

I have the 45mm(red/black bezel) version of this watch and they are a fantastic replication. Imho they are one of the nicest reps for under $200.00, really cant go wrong with this one. The 23j movement Is one smooth operator, very nice Indeed. Mike

Give me 5 min with a cape cod and I will make this thing like new, like new I SAY

Really makes one appreciate why the prices are what they are for these things, fantastic video, thanks

Thats a very sweet V3, enjoy and wear It that bad boy well Mike

Nice Seiko What size Is this? Looks like It might be around 45mm, I think the reg Monster Is 42mm, not much of a monster by todays standards.

I keep mine on the SS. The last time I tried to remove the bracelet I broke two sping bar tool removers. Talk about a pain In the ass I like the way the black leather strap looks on your PO but I will never try to remove that dam bracelet again. I like the strap change system on Pams and also Oris, Nice and easy with a micro screwdiver. It's nice to change around, gives the watch a new look.

TeeJay I have a question Do you like Tudor's Nice pieces man just having some fun with my bud.

Nice Pocket watch, real class

Can I get a amen

Although Im not a HUGE B&R fan I do like the auto pilot design of this watch. Whats the movement In this B&R? Thanks for sharing. Mike

Thanks Andy, good stuff to know about

Thanks Andy, I read resently that It's always better to rock or rotate the watch as oppose to tapping/shaking the watch. It has something to do with the watch being completly unwound, perfectly In beat? The roller jewel, palet fork and escape wheel should be on a perfect line of center. The balence wheel recieves It's Impulse from the palet fork. When you wind the watch up, a slight motion Is needed to move the balance wheel any direction to recieve the Impulse from the palet fork. It Is suggested that one rotate the timepiece back and forth Instead of tapping or shaking. I read most of this In Watchtime Magazine. I thought some members would like to know why we rotate/ swril/ rock are reps or gens for that matter. Mike (ps) Im sure you already new this Andy but I sure didn't

$130 sounds like a very fair price for a good quailty Hornback
