Gio, You have proven yourself to be nothing but rude and childish.

I find myself frequenting and posting on this forum less and less because of some of the avatars and sigs. I just don't feel it is a necessary part of a watch forum. Every month I pay my membership I wonder why I continue to support a site that allows porn to be linked to watches...be it soft porn, hard porn or pictures items of a general sexual nature. Some offend me, some I just find in poor taste. There are times I can't help but wonder why I am part of a community where some of the members obviously have very little respect for women. Posting an avatar with one woman's hand on another woman's genitals is classless. A way to express yourself? Please. :yucky: How about expressing yourself through your posts rather than a girl's crotch?

I am also very interested in super copy bags! I just purchased a Chloe Paddington rep and I really love the bag... but I would absolutely love a super Korean Birkin!!!!

Much has to do with the heredity of the dog, as well as the stupidity of the owner. There are such things as bad lines...dogs bred to bite/attack/fight/kill. Specific traits are passed down the line and become hard to "breed out". Unfortunately, there are too many people breeding dogs...dogs that should NEVER be considered for breeding. I raised and trained Schutzhund. All my dogs were pink papered, imported from Germany, and were trained to either SchII or SchIII level. I would consider a Pit a good dog if-and only if- the parents were Schutzhund trained to at least a II level. There is no way on this earth that I would ever have a Pit in my home otherwise. I feel the same about Rotties as well. There are just too many stupid dogs that come from stupid owners and breeders. What really pissses me off is to see some dumb-ass walking his Pit or Rot with a spiked collar, the dog is not neutered, fat, and limping from hip dysplasia. Oh…and the Rotties with skinny heads…you just KNOW those are poorly bred dogs!

I'm in... I bought a couple!

I am sorry, it must be my mood for the evening, but I had a good laugh over this. Yes, your date window is 1mm too far to the right, but you would actually consider sending all the way back to Josh--risking customs and the expense of shipping-- for issues that are common in reps? No rep is perfect. Why don't you send it to The Zigmeister or RBJ for some mods?

I can't get over poor date wheels...alignment, font, size....it all drives me nuts. I think that is why I love my ExpI so much. No date to fuss over.

I bought one!

Can we do this for the ladies as well? The dial is the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger on El's TW best ladies size....

Tacky, unless you are P Diddy or Snoop Dog.

Yes, and the dial is different from the pictures I have seen of the rep.

I love this watch. I wish the ladies version was more accurate...

I would be willing to bet the process to snap a jubilee bracelet is the same as the oyster bracelet. Let us know how it goes! In order for the clasp of a large watch to fit on my tiny wrist, the bracelet has to be short on the 6 side. I had a gen 49 for a few months, but I traded it for a gen ExpII. I really want a Daytona (waiting for a good one ) as my next large watch. I am thoroughly enjoying my ExpI and would love to source a gen bracelet and dial to "finish it off".

And here I was thinking, "what have you been smoking?"

So, how do you remove more links from an oyster bracelet even AFTER all the “removable” links have been removed? I am a woman who likes large watches. Even after all the links have been removed, the watch is too large and --more importantly-- the clasp doesn’t sit correctly under my wrist. I learned how to do this from a Rol*x AD, and have done it to my own watches ever since. This procedure is permanent, but it is a nice alternative to an improperly fitting watch. BTW, thanks to El for a wonderful Explorer. I wore it into an AD yesterday and I’ll be dammed if I could see the differences between the rep and the gen. 1. Open the bracelet and lay the watch flat. You will see the Oyster bracelet has 3 sections. We are going to force these sections apart in order to see (and remove) the pin. Please note: this will permanently damage and remove this link!!! 2. With vice grips securely holding one side of the link, take a bolt cutter (however, heavy duty wire cutters will also work) and line it up with the junction of the 2 pieces you want to separate. Lightly wiggle and squeeze to get the bolt cutter tip to start separating the links. Do this on both junctions. As you can see, the link to be removed is permanently damaged. 3. Grab a separated link with a vice grip. Hold—don’t crush—the link. Use another vice grip to hold—not crush—the other outside link. Gently wiggle the vice grips while separating the 2 outside links from the center link. Pull apart. Here is the removed link 4. Reattach bracelet. This does change the perfect taper, but it is less noticeable in person than it is in the picture. 5. The result is a properly fitted watch! Easy!

If El was a he, and is now a she...I say more power to her! Another thought: Maybe El is a he and is dating the newly-made she. In that case, nice to see people with open minds!

I have a genuine Omega Constellation which I love. Next on the list is an Exp I and a stainless lady DJ with a pink dial.

Thanks. It is pushed way over to the right. Will give that a try and see what happens!

Is this usually an easy fix? My husband's 2 week old FA Jones is running 5-10 minutes fast per day...

Yup...my vote goes for Post of the Month!

2 for me and 2 for the husband. That makes 1925

That is my next purchase. I had a middie gen and sold it to fund my t/t gen datejust last year. It was a bit big and heavy for me, so I am sure I will love the ladies size rep. Would love to see some wrist shots. Other than the plat dial and bezel, what are some of the obvious differences between this rep and the gen?

Happy to be the token chick!
