Good, the US needs more people available!

Get well soon!

LOL, it is obvious which one is getting wrist time. Enjoy your new watches! Perhaps try the YM on the right wrist while you wait for a slot to open on the left?

Welcome to the club! Please send your membership dues ~

The GST seems to have good presence sitting on the wrist. Perhaps it sits up high, standing proud and tall

Watches are keeping me working

Another photo-tutorial opportunity?

I saw a gen PO with the same issue at my local Omega AD.

I haven't heard of any bad experiences with the new movement but it still hasn't been out all that long. Perhaps we will hear something soon? No news is good news.

Sequined lapels? I would recommend you add a fedora hat for $10 extra.

Pugwash was a Panerai Anonymous but has recently come out

LOL, Nanuq is going to win his own watch!!

It is a recent announcement

Nice! Can't wait for the next set of pics!

For the price, no doubt that is very nice. Incredible..

Unbelievable. You might as well open up a Rolex shop now Very nice.

Some glove oil would darken it for sure Thinking about buying a PAM just so I can get one of these baseball straps..

Wow..

I wonder what the required steps from Paypal were. I don't mind reshipping from US to Canada but someone more involved would be a better choice.

Yes, I agree. It is not often you find something truly worth making sure your friends read it as well.

Thought you guys would enjoy. I certainly did.

I am new to this site and since I have missed many of the “good” topics, I am going to give my opinion to every one I can think of…………So get ready for a long note. Sit back wind up your watch and read on if interested. On buying a Rolex: Buy from any AD near your home. It makes absolutely no sense to travel ½ way around the world to buy a watch. Even if you do save a few $$ you will never have a local resource for questions, adjustments, etc. Buy the one “you” like. It will be on your wrist so “you” must enjoy it. Do not buy anything recommended by someone else, unless you let them pick out your suits and lunch also. Keep the box. It will serve no other purpose but to remind you of the day you bought your watch. Always a happy memory when I pick it up and hold it. Usually only when I am moving from one home to another. Buy from the best looking women in the store. You will already know what you want so who you buy it from does not matter, but anything in the company of a beautiful woman is better. On owning a Rolex: No one except you really cares what kind of watch you have. Bill Gates does not care nor does the check out girl at Wendy’s. When did I get mine? When a confluence of personal and professional facets allowed for it. No one had to do without anything for me to purchase, nor do I think credit is appropriate for a watch purchase. On wearing a Rolex: I have had my watch on my wrist on the following occasions; Immediately after the birth of each of my three children when I held them for the first time. Twice when I thought I might die; once while a volunteer fireman in NJ in a house fire and the second while rafting the Gauley. When I shook hands with G. Bush Sr., B. Clinton and R. Giuliani. When I caressed my wife, my lover and my girlfriend. Each separately and never all in the same day. When I was arrested. When I was promoted to Vice President and when I was told to close our plant and let go all our employees because our site was being closed and moved. I sleep with it on and shower with it on. What I have done with my Rolex on my wrist: I have played over 200 rounds of golf (I don’t swing like Tiger so don’t worry) I have gone swimming in two oceans and two seas. Traveled to three continents and 15 countries. Customs does not give a rat’s ass about watches. Trust me. Been in countless pools, hot tubs, saunas, lakes and rivers. Fired over 10,000 rounds of 9mm handgun ammo in competition and recreation Jet ski, skydive (13,000 ft), rafting, kayaking, shark fishing and deer hunting. I have been in many more strip bars than churches, been to more funerals than weddings. I have worn with my Tuxedo, yet prefer the leather when riding my Harley I broke the crystal while fixing the upper radiator hose of my truck on the side of the highway. On fit and function: Cyclops is the dumbest thing I have ever come across. You get 2x magnification, yet only with a direct view which requires a “Rolex” type salute to actually see. Also never without a glare. My next Rolex will not have it if you are wondering. Accuracy: I am not responsible for launching the Space Shuttle or any military maneuvers. I have never been late for a business meeting and reset the time accurately at the start and end of Daylight Savings Time and any month with less than 31 days. Water Resistance: Get out to some place where you can free dive to 33 ft, 1/10 the rating. It is damn deep and you will not be doing that too often, so relax. Service: It makes absolutely no sense to send a working watch for service unless it is losing time or stopped. Of course if you have the engine on your 500 SEL overhauled every 60K; by all means have your watch serviced every 5 yrs. I only take my watch off when I send it in for service. 2x. Stopped once and crystal the other. Scratches, Dings, Dents = Character, I believe I have it and my watch does too. Care and Cleaning: I shower once or twice every day and so does my watch. A good cleaning occasionally requires Close-up tooth paste. I have “Lived” my life and for most of it I have had my Rolex on my wrist. I have made mistakes, yet I have no regrets. If I were to lose my watch in the ocean while body surfing, would I shed a tear or feel sadness? Not one bit. I would drive to my local AD and buy another, and start another batch of new memories. Memories with a new watch. Thanks and these are “my” thoughts and I love ostentatious Roman numerals. I want to start a movement to get them put on the Submariner. PS Take off the sticker if you want to, it is your watch. Wear your watch on the wrist of the hand you use to “relieve tension” with. It keeps the main spring properly wound and also takes care of a bunch of other issues. PSS At the end of the day all it does is tell you what time it is. It is just a watch.
