  1. 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'.
  2. 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,
  3. Oyster with Steel Bezel for sure. I could see NATO on black insert based bezel however.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Yep. On multiple machines. Latest, greatest Firefox. I managed to get it to work once correctly by clearing cookies, but the problem immediately returned.
  7. Yep, this is a classic. Here are more thoughts about that site:
  8. I have to say, I have come around on the bezel design on this. I really like it now. Does anyone know if there this will be available in the USA? The only listing on the Tudor site if for Rolex USA in New York: address: 665 Fifth Avenue New York 10022 United States tel: +1 212 758 7700
  9. Dang F333, great photos of a great watch... I think Friday for me will be:
  10. Final Cut for sure. It also just came out on BluRay. Then after you watch "Blade Runner", rent "Ghost in the Shell" (The original movie circa 1995). "Blade Runner" inspired "Ghost in the Shell", and "Ghost in the Shell" inspired "The Matrix"
  11. Just noticed @24 seconds in there is a Cyclops over the date, but then disappears. Last minute design change?

  13. Excellent, a friend of mine is restoring a 67 Shelby. I just sent him the link.
  14. Just an FYI, "Marking New Posts as Read" goes to lala land. Blank page. Anyone else experiencing this?
  15. Is he correct about the bracelet being 19mm? My 1601 from the same time I could swear takes a 20mm. *Not nearby to check... ???
  16. Holy $hit! Are you for hire?
  17. Slipped this on a few minutes ago:
  18. Keyword "Phone". Totally acceptable, given size, processing, etc. A phone sized device is not meant to replace anything. But a living room, lifestyle, media consumption, device being dubbed as the "best way to experience the web"-- unacceptable. I played with an iPad for about 30 minutes the other day. It was cool, but after 30 minutes I was kinda bored... Its a nice "toy".

    New Tattoo

    Interesting your friend must be a BattleStar Galactica fan. That is a wedding tattoo from the TV Show.
  20. Fantastic! Just need to see some pics of it on Mrs. Ubi!
  21. :rofl: Upgrade your iPhone/iPod Touch to an iPad! How to Print from the iPad:
  22. Use Zigmeister or find a good local watchsmith. Maybe if you have big enough Rolex AD, they may have watchsmiths on site, but will probably charge you close to RSC rates $300+.
