I'm very interested BUT.... My wallet and education so wait 4 years.

That's my point.

You are a lucky man.

Sealed as a virgin before prom.

By-Tor, hope you dont mind me posting a couple excerpts: "This watch has a terrible crooked date. It's your own sales picture." "If I sometime feel like conversing with an idiot, I'll contact the zookeeper who maintains your cage (and buys the bananas)." :rofl: "A member asked me an opinion of a watch in my forum section and I gave it to him. Of course I have the "authority". You're not very bright, are you?" :rofl: I can't stop laughing!

What technology is introduced to justify the $300-600 price increase each year or so?

Was it after the 1665 GW, the Triple 6?

Should i avoid ebay? Should i replace the gaskets as well? Or not worry about it and have that down when serviced?

That's right, I remember that thread

Tell us how you really feel Mickey. Is he the guy who you had a big row with?

Be warned! I bought gear from them for my iphone and it all broke within a couple months. Prices are low but the sell [censored].

He just dropped off the face of the earth and i haven't heard much talk about it.

great reference automatico!

Oh I know watches aren't investments. It is nice if you buy something for $5k and use it for years and go to sell it you can break even or maybe turn a profit on the original investment.

That is the kinda steal of a deal I'd like to fall into! I've heard of stories of people stumbling across items where the owner didn't know what they had.

Fair to say and increases of 10 to 15 fold.

Yeah I know. Do you know how much one would expect to pay for a gen crown? Under $50?

Around $ 415 for the SD and $ 400 for the SUB. Someone care to post the current prices? Use the last known price for the SD, not DSSD. Then we can figure out the % increase. Any economists could also chime in and let us know how that increase compares to inflation over the years.

I just downloaded them all today, that's a lot of data! I have just looked over part 1. That's some nice fine info my friend. What book is that from? I really do appreciate.

How Do I dull her up?

A very good thread. I think he is questioning those who mod and 2 months later sell on possibly looking for profit or why mod a $250 watch that is a rep of a gen product. Either way it's not my money so I could care less. Tattoos are Yonkers but I accept that they are just not my thing. Now I have a 1665 but only plan a couple mods. I am a perfectionist in most things I do but I see a rep for what it is. Certain mods make the watch perform better, such as a gen crown and tube replacement. Gens have their own issues as well. Visit many of the fora and enjoy their stories. My gen Fortis b-42's like is worse than some of my reps.

After taking these I realized I need to brush up on my nonexistent photography skills.

I picked the Silver Surfer because I was flipping through an old comic book. I cleaned house the weekend before and found some old gear. He has always been my favorite. One of the strongest most powerful characters yet morally unparalleled and it's a damn cool pic. Your post has caused me to think about changing. I have the card of my favorite painting on my hutch in my office. It's a painting by John Martin titled "Sadak and the Waters of Oblivion". Here is the wiki: "Sadak is a fictional character in a story in James Ridley's Tales of the Genii (two volumes, 1764); it is a faux-Oriental tale allegedly from a Persian manuscript, but actually the work of Ridley himself.[5] In Ridley's story, the hero Sadak is sent by his Sultan, Amurath, to find the memory-destroying "waters of oblivion." The Sultan maliciously intends to use the waters on Sadak's wife Kalasrade in a seduction attempt. Sadak endures a range of trials — a tempest at sea, a plague, evil genii, a subterranean whirlpool — before he attains his goal. In the end, the Sultan himself falls victim to the water's effect. Amurath dies; Sadak becomes Sultan. Martin's picture portrays Sadak at the climax of his struggle, just before he reaches the waters of oblivion." Whenever I look at it I see my life; never easy, a constant physical, mental, and emotional struggle, within myself and with the world around me.
