Hate to use the word daily beater, but I figure I will wear the heck out of it and let it pick up some aging. Right now it has the appearance of a "well cared for" almost 40 year old watch that would seemingly have had the crystal / bracelet replaced. BTW: Had this pressure tested for waterproofness. Passed with flying colors. 10 BAR / 100m IIRC.

I predict this will be one of the next Supers out of our usual friends. Wondering if they will get it right/close enough on a v1 though.... Even though this is 42mm it seems to be "thin enough" to wear on a smaller wrist. That has me excited since one of the reasons I sold my SteelFish and BS was the thickness. The only design elements I struggle with (mildly) are what I consider the NASCAR style fonts. But, makes sense from an "Air-Racing" perspective.

Probably the east coast Canal Street crap provider...

Going with by UBI 5513

Here are some Wristies:

I love the look of the Helson. Only issue for me is @ 45mm x 18mm high that thing is going to stand off and be a bit top heavy. I fear, minimum wrist size to get away with this is 7.25 and larger. The Zenton reminds me of many of the Seiko "Mods" available. Good stuff either way.

RE: ASKMEN Any magazine/website with word 'Men' in the title is usually a piss poor excuse for a magazine. This applies to 'Mens Health', 'Ask Men', 'Mens Fitness'. These are advertiser driven dribble with half-ass, half-true articles. I think their target audience is high school educated, too chicken to buy Playboy, and too intimidated to buy GQ/Esquire, and buys into "pop" fitness article of the day. (Sorry about the rant, I have been cornered at parties by dumb-dumbs citing the latest diet/fitness/style craze from these rags) As far as PAM popularity goes. I think the gen market is up/steady, and in the rep world people are just trying to cash in on the popularity of pieces not getting worn as much. My local AD has actually 'expanded' their PAM section. More Observations from my local AD: Panerai Section - LARGER Breitling Section - A 'touch' smaller Rolex Section - Same size, but less product on display (could be Basel transition) TAG Section - Same size Jaeger Section - LARGER Chopard Section - LARGER Cartier Section - Same Size Ebel Section - A 'touch' smaller, going back to classic designs Patek Section - Same Size

Excellent... Just got back from Hawaii to find the updates! CG's look awesome. Can't wait to pick it up this weekend! Thanks R!

Quick question for Admin/Mod's. How is RWG handling referrers? Is the obfuscation with "xx" really necessary? +1 Exactly. Speaking of wealth and lifestyle, anyone with a line of credit can walk into a store and buy a Rolex or other high end gen. This is no indication of wealth, money, power, etc... Where can one find said skanks...

OMFG! Excellent. The story so far is we met up just under 5 hours ago. It started out like any shady back-ally deal-- the car was quickly raided by Mrs Ubi, and his two lovely children who were trying to make a fast get away with some root-beer floats. 5 Hours ago, this MBW POLEX 5513 had this dial on it and looked like this: Amazing. I told him to take his time. Evidently, that meant lightspeed.

That would look great on a ladies wrist (or mens).

The person under me owns more than 3 watches...

As far as "numbers" are concerned, I would venture to guess that over 50% of the members (here, there, anywhere) are/were drive-by's on their way to a Sub rep. I would be curious to know the number of members w/over 100 posts/topics. To me those are 'active'.

I never understood the BSP (Blatent Self Promotion) of stats like this. Member Counts. Here, there, or anywhere... Personally, give be quality over quantity. And in the case of "Rep" forums where the content is borderline , I prefer low-profile... I have accounts at all the usual suspects, but RWG is my homebase. In all honesty because it seems to have the lowest "Noise Level" (least amount of BSP, good level of constructive comments, easy to sweep in and Read New Messages in a reasonable amount of time.) Also, the forum software here rocks. I will sale the For Sale section at RG does seem to have a bit more activity, so if buying and selling is your primary goal its a good place to go. RG is more like Vegas RWG is more like Monaco Keep up the good work Admin,

Oyster with Steel Bezel for sure. I could see NATO on black insert based bezel however.

I am probably a bit less concerned about the technology (or lack of) in the rep movement, and more concerned with 'truth in advertising'. It would be nice to know the watches are in fact A7750 clones or A07.211. And on that note: if a GEN ETA Valgranges can be a direct R&R swap.

There are slight hand incompatibility when going from A7750 28.8k to ETA 7750. I believe the issue is with the seconds chrono hand. It is not uncommon to go GEN ETA, but, it is more of a project for a Zigmeister who can broach hands, etc.

Yep. On multiple machines. Latest, greatest Firefox. I managed to get it to work once correctly by clearing cookies, but the problem immediately returned.

Yep, this is a classic. Here are more thoughts about that site:
