Welcome to RWG. Good luck with your new watch. I have always been a Omega man. I have one older gen and a Po rep. Good to see you here,have fun Mike

Good to see ya Hawaiian. I to arrived here with my sites on a gen Omega PO. The price tag is a little much atm. The thing is I dont think having the gen could be as exciting as buying a rep. To spend $4.000 on a watch, well naturaly it's going to be great. The dam thing cost 4 big ones. To get a watch that for all practical purposes looks the same, well this is even more impressive,Imo, when you consider the price difference. I mean "come on" were talking about pennies on the dollar here. Thanks for stoping by, Mike

I make salmon jerky in my smoker, with brown sugar and Yoshidas as part of the mix... over smoky birch and a long slow smoke it comes out as a dry jerky called Squaw Candy. Red salmon is best, especially from the Copper River. Mmmmmmmm! I'll put up about 30 or 40# of it every summer.

MMMMM sounds tasty. I just love me some salmon. Big plus is great source of Omega 3 fatty acid

U guys are making me hungry. About three yrs ago I was visiting family in West Virgina, big deer hunting country. Well I was at my uncles house when he asked me if I liked jerky. I said "yes, very much so" He go's into the kitchen and brings back a huge zip loc bag full of the stuff. He says "here try some I made It myself" I tried some and I will tell you the best i ever had. He says with a big grin and smile, " It's Vinison from the buck i shot a few months back. I spoke to him a few months ago and he says he has plenty more. I will be going back soon. Moral of the story. Eating your deer is a good thing True story Mike

Drum sticks? Gay.

This is the, not-arguably, best rock drummer that ever took in air. If you want to argue the point. Start a new thread. I promise I won't click it.

Demsey I cant agree. Then again I cant disagree WOW Oh and by the way it just so happens that Led Zep is my all time favorite band. Jimmy Page on his double neck. classic "Get the led out" Mike

WOW is all I can say You are indeed a artist Mike

if u order a rep and end up getting it, thats poor customer servicing not scamming..

like i said i've never dealt with them, but i've inquired about some of their products and the comunication was excellent, just didnt end up pulling the trigger

u should research and examine all the pics of the product before buying it, and make sure that u get the same exact piece u order before ordering it

IMO, they're ligit, its just poor quality

not scammers

I know where your coming from but they are scamers, make no mistake about that. Please dont take my word for it. Complaintsborad.com has six to seven pages of people who have had serious problems. To scam and intentualy misrepresent something are the same thing in my book. They are not forth right or honest with there product. Call it whatever you want to call it, just dont buy a watch from them. Mike

Welcome to RWG Lazbals.. I see that you have been given some great advise. I do want to add one more thing. Have fun and happy hunting Mike

Nice work, I wish i could make my own straps. Congratz Mike

The perfect watch to wear when settling up with your hooker

Shaken not stired

I agree with the snakehead idea. In general I would say that the buckles haven't received enough attention yet. There should be more variety.

It's a shame I don't know a metal worker that could this kind of work. Well I will do some research, maybe I find something to go with my straps.

Wanted to thank all of you guys: this place is great, people are really supportive and one can get lost for hours in the incredible stream of information in the forums.

I wish you will with this strap endevor. I think your realy on to something. The Serpente straps are kick ass to be sure. If you could find someone to work with you on a design for a buckle, well who knows? Best of luck Mike

I purchased a strap for the Pam 217 Destro that I had on order. I like to have the strap in hand before the watch arrives. To make a long story short the watch was not working properly when deliverd. I had to return it and get something else. I sent SC a message telling them what happened. I asked them if they would take the strap back, I had not received the strap by this time. I got a message from Seth. He said "no problem", just return the strap and I would get a full refund. I have had a few problems in the past returning straps, not with SC. All I can say is "the strap was awsome". I will be getting a Pam GMT soon. I will also purchase the strap from SC. Great straps and great customer service. Thanks Mike

Good to see you here R. I would say that your off to a good start. I also dont mind a good Quartz, Although; I have to admit that Im more Interested in automatic watches these days. That being said, I have a Hublot quartz on order. Have fun and welcome Mike

Welcome to RWG Punisher. Is that what your girlfriend calls you? The bug is a fierce little mother. Once bitten look out and hide your wallet, not that it will do any good Take your time and have a good look around, happy hunting Mike

Try Paul @Timepieces.ws. There $6.00 a piece I beleive. Mike

I would be very interested in purchasing one of these awsome straps. Do you know what would be cool, very cool? No mike what would that be? I think a buckle that looked like a snakes head would be all kinds of Rockin Roll. Just a thought Mike

UPDATE: payment went through. Paranoia is a b***h

Same thing happen to me. I had payed for a watch that I did not have. I received the watch three days later. Relax it will be fine. Easy for me to say, right? Dont foeget those wristies Mike

I know how you feel Prsist. I was waiting on a watch about six weeks ago. After 15 days had passed I sent my dealer a message. He said that after the watch is sent he has no control on the shiping time. He said to relax and that it would arrive soon. I thanked him for his reply and told him I would let him know when I got the watch. It was the next day. The funny thing is I was going to wait one more day before I sent him a message The next watch arrived in 8 days. I guess you never know. Let us know when your watch arrives. Some wrist shots might be nice Mike

Welcome to RWG. Just curious about what you paid for your first rep. To get 2 years of everyday use sounds pertty good. The quality of reps as grown by leaps and bounds over the last several years. Take your time and have a good look around. It wont be long before your looking down at your wrist with a big smile Mike

Screw the golden rule...I'm only going to help if Admin makes sure Shundi and Ajoesmith are not allowed to change their Avatars.

I offered my services to mentor 1thunder. I'm now signed up.

well, thats about what i was thinking, 80 ish in USD + ship

i really like this wood, i have some other projects and woods i have to use up, but i think you guys would like it to seeing it in person, its a very semi glossy smooth as glass feeling. This is definitely my new favorite one.

I would think that $80-100. would be more than a fair price for pens of this caliber. I mean there hand made for god sakes. To have a hand made pen would be cool, a conversation piece to be sure. I hope one day to buy one. Mike

Negative.. no tag.. no "badge" . we will "keep it simple" this is not a "teach the noob all about reps" .. they will learn at their own pace and skill as we all did.. we are NOT going to "Control" the forum .. what we can do is "suggest" that the Noob think about "supporting" the forum if they are gaining

Value Added"

In a simple sense.. you don't even need to use the PM.. it may be a better idea to keep everything in the open .. and "suggest" that the member consider an upgrade ..

there is too much room for inconsistencies and time is alway's a factor .. no one is going to "Monitor" these members.. that is the duties of the Admin Team.... we communicate.. support ... simple..

let's keep it that way .. just simply suggest without using pm's

Aloha~Cheers

Well said Mike

I dont know that much about Pens. I have a few, Parker and a cross, and a couple of others. All I can say about the pen above is "MAGNIFACENT",very nice indeed. Mike

Im no expert on movements Athan. If your Asian 6497 serves you well then why spend the extra $80.00? I have heard that the swiss movements (6497) are made where all reps are made, China. This is what I have heard, and it does make sense. Then some believe that they are indeed Swiss made. I dont buy it but thats just me. I will be in the same position soon. I like your Idea of using the extra $$$ for a strap. Good luck with your decision. Mike
