  1. Joining the Vintage Rolex group:
  2. Nice. When I saw the title of this post, I was half expecting to see a watch strapped onto the wheel of the actual car doing 200mph.
  3. +1 Ubi. So, by their logic-- I own a bunch of GENS and REPS, does that make me 50% fake?, or do I get a pass? Their numbers of "lost revenue" are never correct because, a rep sale never translates to a 1:1 ratio, as many would never buy the gen at their $$$$ prices. I still argue they are getting free advertising from the 'frugal' rep buyer.
  4. Ever wear a Gen 1575 powered Rolex? I can hear my 1603 from inches away. Hmmm, I swear I have seen many without. Recent Navitimer logos ARE printed. What do they mean by embossed (isn't that something you do to clothing).
  5. Nice! Thanks for the measurements, wish more reviews included that level of detail. Since you went with the 21J, does that mean the GMT hand is fixed/sync'd on the 24hr time of the real hour? Also, did they just lop off the dial feet that would/might have been used on the ETA version?
  6. Doah! I missed it. Under $700, someone did well me thinks.
  7. You collection continues to impress the hell out of me!
  8. +1 Ofrei has these movement between $12 and $27 dollars. (You may need your high cannon pinion from the rep though) Just R&R (Remove and Replace)
  9. Better than finding that $20 bill in an old pair of pants/jacket. Happy ending indeed!
  10. Nice job. Just a thought/suggestion, maybe look into better fitting end-links or go leather. For whatever reason my eyes are drawn immediately to the endlinks instead of the awesome watch head.
  11. @Freddy333 Thanks for the dial design clarification above.
  12. ...besides, let them be distracted with crappy NFL/NASCAR/etc... $12 hats, shirts, and other crap. Squeaky wheels get the grease; If the watch/fashion industry whines there will be some half-hearted show of force probably involving a steam-roller. If the RIAA/MPAA bitches, there will be some half-ass crackdown on pirated DVDs. If Professional Sports complain, see above link.
  13. Would dial dots work? I can't visualize the clamp system...
  14. Hate to bump this monster of an old topic, but this Kindle -vs- iPad as an eBook reader advertisement is fricking AWESOME!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGmRKSds9OY (Glossy Screens Suck!)
  15. Well, even though I use many Apple products, I am not sure how I feel about this, actually short of using it for fitness, I hate it. Lets hope Apple doesn't create something akin to the Quartz Revolution of yesterday. Your thoughts? Apple spawns new accessory line: nano watch straps by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Sep 13th 2010 at 12:00PM The success of the iPods, iPhone and iPad have been a boon for Apple and accessory makers. Shortly after each product's introduction, a small but highly competitive cottage industry of cases, sleeves, stands and so on emerges. Now, the new iPod nano's unique design has many manufacturers thinking the same thing: wristwatch. The nano is small, light, square-ish and features a touch screen. When popped into a strap accessory like the Linq by Incipio, it looks good! The Linq will be available in five colors when released (grey, black, pink, blue and white), though a release date and pricing information are unavailable as of this writing. It looks nice and the iPod seems well-protected, but I wouldn't want a wire going from my wrist to my ears all day. But that's just me.

  16. ...and there you have it. Not even Rolex is consistent.
  17. Ofrei. If the link below does not work search the site for ETA CASE. http://www.ofrei.com/shop-bin/sc/productsearch.cgi?search_field=eta+case&storeid=*1423f49b3a2340460f2dc323
  18. IP address is no longer the only way to identify/track a person. Also, banning or watching "ranges" is useless (just one piece of the pie), especially if they live in a metro area with many other members. Our Admin team I am sure knows their stuff.
