Great watch! A FF is on my short list. Some day...

Funny, I want a gen 16610. You know, the watch everyone will always assume is a fake! Ironic in so many ways, isn't it?

That is why if I ever go "Gen" Sub, it will be a 14060. No good reps, and no Cyclops drawing extra attention.

@Freddy333 - Great photos (even if the watch is on backwards) . Now you have models to pose for you!

I think I will be wearing this for awhile:

Wow, thats an incredible gift to recieve.. Did you know you were going to recieve it or was it a surprise?

Surprise, but I had a suspicion. She was paying attention, more than usual, last time we were at the AD. Plus, she asked too many questions about the black face noob.

For me, it has become a path to Gens, but not necessarily same rep model to same gen model.

Actually I reserve gen purchasing for modern watches that are not rep'd well, or have complications or water proofing that I need to work-- like the Navitimer, 14060, and White Face Exp II, GMTs, etc.

I will continue to have reps/frankens of the hard to get/find vintage models like the Tudor, 653x, 1665, etc.

Also, I prefer reps as a try before you buy. A perfect example for me was the Steelfish and Blacksteel. I like having these reps, but based on how they wear I would not get the Gen, and might even part with these soon. Then there is Panerai. Since most people never heard of Panerai, I will probably continue to wear these as reps. IMHO, the 6497 based watches or other common ETA 28xx based watches get hard to justify paying the $5000ish price for.

Thanks all.

Nope, no sister DL.

For Christmas she has expressed interest in a D-SLR camera. She also likes 40mm PAMS, and the 38mm SuperOcean on mesh. Maybe a trip to Hawaii...

Hmmm. Maybe Santa will be good to her.

Well, I have to say, my wife is a keeper! So is the watch she bought me for my birthday!!!

Some quick pics. I will do a better comparison against the latest Noob (but black face) version I have.

Enjoy.

Healing thoughts your way...

Given modern tech and medicine, hang in there. If we can put a man on the moon, there has to be a cure... Hang tough.

Also, as mentioned, have you tried alternative approaches? i.e. Acupuncture, etc.

If you EVER want to sell those, let me know. Dibs!

Excellent. Any chance you can turn that CD into an .ISO or .ZIP and share/host somewhere?

Thanks!

Mine is currently at Chiefs for AR Coating.

Not sure what your timeline/urgency is, but when mine returns, I will let you know.

I think it is a aesthetic thing. If you are a lab rat scientist, you can multiply by 10 and thus 1 becomes 10, 5 becomes 50.

The watch was for nerds/geeks of the day. Set it apart from a Sub.

My theory and I am stickin to it.

Thanks for sharing. Always looking for good alternative bracelet lube methods.

Very nice. Given the dial characteristics, it looks correct for a circa 1973->
