Thanks Goat

Thanks! Welcome back mate! I hope all is well.

Ha Ha! So true!

Keep me posted as well, I think I might have to look into this, Any place where I should start researching to get the ball rolling?

Many people have issue with the search function, I am one of them. Meaning the same thing doesnt produce any results. a great tip, use google: site:rwgforum.com then your search item

Please see my prior post "Search Function Officially Sucks" :bleh:

Here is my recipe when buying a rep. Plan on getting it serviced, it'll add $110-210 to your overall cost but if you want your shiny rep to work longer than 3 months gonna have to be done, or buy a 21j movt rep. WHY? Because these movts have 0 QC, assembled in no sterile environments, or are old stock. As mentioned before, get the movt serviced and all will be right in the world.

Are they reliable like other Asian clone movts? I thought I read the came with extra parts floating around that can become dislodged and cause havoc for the movts. Myth or fact?

I meant overall, Might have to bit on a sub. Keep my posted on the triple 6 conversion!

I had a DSSD, it was just too damn big for my girlie wrist. What is Bk offering tight now, anyone know?

Drats! After reading my title it can be construed something different.

Sorry i shoulda been more clear, NO DEEP SEA! Just the Old Sea Dweller 16600. I'm on the list for the bk.WM9 SD but i dont have faith it will come to fruition.

Short of a used bk or JackJo Sea Dweller what options exist? Are any of the dealers offering anything decent?

Are the 21j GMT movt's used by the factories modified movts? So an Otto Frei gmt movt has been design as a GMT and hence more reliable?

You are talkin over my head

Is it just like every other 21j, when it dies, swap it or trash it?

Rolex GMT Master II sold for $3300 "These are all the pictures I have at this time", right! I cant believe this went to the end and the plug wasnt pulled. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=300477050773&si=JDJ3qhlfhFM%252FW8BgeX3FP4LsumQ%253D&viewitem=

I believe the white dial hour marker rings are gray and not black, Wont accept a gen dial. Can a gen crown be swapped on? Does it need a gen tube? that's all I know.

On my 8th try it returned results. it was the first time I had two options: Forum or this thread.

Gonna have to go with user error. Might not be, I couldnt log into rwg for almost 3 months this summer from my home wifi for some reason. Connection? Hmmmmm

This time, Jean-Claude Biver may have gone too far. Earlier this week, an incredible, almost unbelievable advertisement from Hublot exploded like a virtual bomb on the internet. Although the advertisement has been highly visible on the web for the past few days, it has attracted little comment from the watch community –positive or negative. It’s almost as though both consumers and professionals of the watchmaking industry have been rendered speechless in the face of such brazen, code-breaking brand positioning. Let us recap the facts for those who may not be familiar with the situation: Bernie Ecclestone, top boss of the F1 world, 81, had been severely assaulted two weeks ago during a home invasion by thieves looking for money. Judging by his injuries, our guess is that this elderly English statesman fought like a lion. In the end, his attackers left with his watch, a Hublot F1 King Power. Already famous, this particular timepiece was about to become infamous, thanks to some rather questionable marketing decisions. Straight From The Horse’s Mouth We had the pleasure to talk to Mr Biver today, who happens to be in Miami at the time of writing, and so we are able to give you the complete story straight from the source. The fact is that Mr Biver and Mr Ecclestone are friends, and surprisingly it was actually the latter who suggested Hublot use his homemade picture (taken with his cellphone) for this campaign. Thus, it seems the idea not originate within Hublot. Secondly, according to Hublot we are talking about a campaign here, as distinctive from a one-off marketing stunt. “Of course it’s not an advertisement, but a series of 3 campaigns. It’s our mission to stand up against hatred, racism, cowardice and violence” explains Biver. The sincerity in his voice suggests this is not a contentious point for discussion, yet one has to observe that at least 50% of the picture is dedicated to the product. This may in fact be intended as a campaign and not an ad, but nonetheless, it is still disconcerting to see how similar the formulae for each are! Finally, Hublot is not a newcomer to this area, citing their involvement in a similar campaign with another sporting platform. “We already did something similar to this during the Euro Cup, offering our advertising space along the corner lines to the Foundation ‘ Fight Against Racism’”, reminds Biver, highlighting the strong partnership the brand has with FIFA. Perhaps this evidence of long term involvement might stand as a definitive proof of Hublot’s good intentions? The Final Word “In my opinion, we can’t make and sell quality and prestige without denouncing such wild behaviour”, concludes Biver. We’ve come to know this man quite well. In this instance we were fortunate enough to spend more than just a few minutes with him and as usual, we had a frank, honest discussion. The mere fact that he personally answered our questions while travelling on the opposite side of the globe demonstrates just how personally he is involved in every facet of Hublot’s brand positioning. We also know that he has a compassionate side and is genuinely affected by such despicable, violent behaviour, especially when it is inflicted on an 81 year old defenceless friend. Even still, we believe this ad – sorry – campaign, was certainly not the best way to reinforce Hublot’s core values. We are not sure that, without a proper explanation from Mr Biver, the message will be conveyed correctly, especially on media platforms such as the International Herald Tribune or the Financial Times, which have been chosen to display this picture. This campaign will probably not stand as Hublot’s defining moment, but Mr Biver has already proved to us many times before that he constantly looks a decade ahead. Time will tell. http://thewatchlounge.com/hublot-strikes-again-but-have-they-gone-too-far-this-time-we-ask-jcb-exclusive/

I hope I could say I feel 600 posts strong (whatever that means) but I dont. Though in the past few months with the help of many well est. members and a few noobs I have been adding to my knowledge base. Daring to seek out new members and assist them as I was assisted when I firs joined. As the quote says: "I REALLY like it here!

I did that and same ol same ol but, the site:rwgforum.com did the trick! Someone really needs to fix it. A lot of people have problems besides myself. Might help the noobs and goons like me from asking redundant questions! We all would like that
