Just wish the photo were a little bigger....

Oi... just when I thought the Yobos were all on walkabout...

Give us a kiss, ken

Ever take a lady to Paris? Apparently not, otherwise no question here. Go to Paris.

Oh, but forget the Disneywoos. That's what Anaheim and Orlando are for. Sheesh.

We hate to see you leave the forum. Good to have you coming this way, though. Where to school? Let me guess... California? USC? UCLA? You'll be having more fun than watches are by a long shot. Good luck with your game. What? Not that! Tennis, tennis, your tennis game! Oi, izzat all ozzies think about? Then you'll do fine at a US college.

All this... just to give Kathy and RWU a plug?

'97 Dodge Dakota every damn day. Yeah, but with a five speed and V-8 with HD everything so I can tow a 27' Sportcraft sportfisher. My wife's ride is a Cadillac CTS, and yes that is with the manual tranny too, I dare you to find one of those anywhere but a car show.

Sorry Andy I have only the memory of such a cool model (and of course King soon had a rep which she had to defend as not fantasy), but I did not archive anything on it, no pics nothing. Maybe others will remember King referring them to the particular omega product page, however that still does not give us the model #. Marrickvilleboy came along about six months too late (such a youngster!) to see this one, or he would surely have noted all the particulars.

Well... I do have a version of this, not King's righteous one, but very good just the same except for one thing... it has the date at 3 o'clock! which the gen seamaster/railmaster never did. Go figure. Chinese rep makers all crasy.

I don't know who the omega company wis was that replied to the Q about this model, but I remember seeing this gen seamaster with railmaster numerals on the official omega webpage, except that it was not a co-axial movement. Yes, I remember thinking, cool, a railmaster style without the premium price. But it disappeared before long. There was also at least one vintage 60's seamaster very similar in general appearance, but again not coaxial movement.

Yeah, this is terrific news, although I do believe Admin will be working quite hard for a while now and will probably have barely a moment for the likes of us for a few months. (Ah well.) Nevertheless, good on yer! Congratulations.

Wait a minute!!! I sold that watch to you, the special Bombay-Time invisible-gmt 007 secret agent perpetual calendar half-day-ahead complicated thingy. Apparently, it's still working perfectly.

Feb-u-lous. It just keeps getting better. (Where did I read that lately?) Thank you again, Admin. Where ever do you get the time?

But the question is not 'is cycling a sissy sport' but 'did floyd landis dope himself up with epitestosterone before stage 17'?

If he had, he would not have won the stage. He would have finished at the back of the peloton. Duh [censored]in duh. Read up on hormones, steroids, their effects, etc.

They can't attack Lance anymore, so now they go for Floyd. Of course, the only real dopers using the Spanish connection doctor are from where? Not US. Not France either.

The reason everyone gets spam but some gets the stupid ones is...

oh, I can't say it...

it's because... it's because...

No one else reads the stupid ones...

Oi! Did you just call me a Yobo?

I dint post here, really I dint, it was that yobo what uses my pitcher and pretenses its me.

I have always been partial to Maxwell's equations, myself.

Welcome to the gang. You will shortly find more to like than you imagined. Is okay. Have fun!

Do you think that one out of a hundred people actually notice your watch? Or that one out of a thousand might be fooled that it is a "real" Panerai, or Breguet, or IWC? Not one out of ten-thousand people have even heard of a Panerai, etc.

The only kind of "rep" knockoffs I worry about are things like, say, brakepads, which might kill me and someone else if they don't work like I thought they would. Not fashion brands.

Unserviced: 3 days to 3 months. Serviced: keeping COSC time after 6 mo.

The one I sent out for service to a respected forum member 12 months ago I have not got back yet, so I don't have a good scientific comparison. Too patient am I, perhaps?

17 months on my 196 from Scottie, which I wore today in fact.

lonestar-watches.com has some nice small plate (scale? grain?) 22/18mm for $59 and some larger plate pam-style 22/22mm for $99. I have just one of their straps so far, but it's a beauty, a big plate 22/18mm brown gator on a railmaster. Walt Aronow is the owner.

same back at ya, marrickvilleboy

c'mon marrickville boy...

"let mama-kenberg handle it" ???

How about: Let mama's-boy-marrickville read the post again.

See? I didn't mean that either, but it still sounds a little disrespectful.

Then again, maybe ken doesn't take it that way either, another ozzie and all... but then, so is offshore innt he? I'm so confused by all these overly sensitive fellas.

Oi! Do you just call me a Yobo!?!

That is so good to hear that Blade's promise to deliver the watches is being honored but disturbing because he made a statement that he had the 40 odd watches in his possession. Now you say it was delivered from Beijing, pretty odd because it should have been sent from where Blade is now, unless he's in Beijing which doesn't seem likely.

Well, the box has Beijing stuff all over it, customs is PRC, air mailed 10.6.06 for 176.00 postage.

So yes, I'm saying it was delivered from Beijing. And your contention about that being odd and unlikely means what, omni? I just reporting the facts. You got something factual to say, or just what does or doesn't seem likely... ??? Such as, where is blade, if not Beijing, you know so much?

Did I mention that I was surprised to get a box from Beijing? (I believe I did.)

BTW, I was one of those who did not ask for or accept a "refund" for the undelivered watch from rwg II, because, as I said at the time, it was blade's responsibility, not the new forum's.

Yes, I did and I was joking too, notice the ().

Oh ja dots a gud one willith! (Wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean?)

Now, it's been quite a while since we gave up on blade reappearing on the old rwg... and since those of us who bought one gave up on the RWG watch...

Imagine my surprise this afternoon when a box from Beijing showed up... and inside was my RWG Collaboration I watch and box! #22/100

So... whass up?

Hard to remember, man... like, it all blends together, you know?... Three Dog Night? Richie Havens? Or was it Leon Russell? Emerson, Lake and Palmer? Melanie was like such a love fest kind of thing, dude. BB King. Freddie King. High school daze. For sure. pre-Scott
