  2. Welcome to the best community on the net ludd We are much more than just watches.. but you found a great place for tech info on replications as well as genuine.. much info here on mods.. where to source after market and genuine parts for you reps.. and we have fun in the process.. Holla if you need an assist.. lot's of great members from the UK.. AC/Lani
  3. Retired .. but he has a solid position outside of the watch world.. he needs to keep his hot babe in the l9ifestyle she is accustomed too.. Still ahve a few of his reps that are still going strong today..
  4. it's getting gnarly.. 10 ft rise and fall in the water level.. the first wave has passed the islands.. but waves are pure energy moving through water.. so I think we have energy trapped in between the islands.. California may feel this.. imagine throwing a stone into a pond, the energy that is created is what simulates a wave.. but right now it is confusing, because the energy is not swelling into a big wave.. so is may be gathering strength for something huge.. dunno.. the way this energy is wrapping around the chain is confusing.. I just wanna go home.. since I live close to the beach they may not let us back in for sometime.. but my watches are safe..but my cigar collection is not..
  5. Hilo harbor is getting really erratic now.. water is leaving the bay, in what looks like rapids. we're past the time where the tsunami should of hit but the water in the harbors are acting so erratic that bigger waves may hit.. Hilo always gets it the worse... I had to drive over the mountain this morning and the mountains are packed with cars that have evacuated the coastal regions..
  6. Waiting mandatory evac to high ground water is receeding from Hilo bay if it's going to hit us it is delayed I got locked in the locker room in total darkness this morning just checking in we're all ok so far we shall see
  7. Zeus ... (placed Orion "the giant hunter".. amongst the stars to form the Orion constellation)
  8. don't tell us you stuck the entire watch in extreme heat .. like the oven..??? if I were you I would replace the crystal with a Clarks T39 you can find them on the bay .. or just google Rolex T39 pexi crystal.. if the shape is distorted, chances are you've compromised the crystal.. I think it would be best to change it..

  14. Nisei second generation in Hawaii from Japan.. made up the 442nd Regiment .. along with their Nisei brothers from the West Coast.. they were the most decorated Battalion during the second World War.... they rescued the "lost battalion in Italy".. who were surrounded by the enemy the 442nd were out ..numbered 10 to 1 ...they suffered heavy losses.. but through the whole battle, they're battle cry was.. "Go fo Broke".. not "for".. "fo".. cause the Hawaiian local talk prevailed.. and while the Japanese American families on the mainland were locked in internment camps and had all their land and possessions taken from them because of their race.. their Sons fought and died for the country that imprisoned their families during the War.. They fought for their Country without remorse or concern for their lives.. to prove they were worthy of being an American. so growing up in Hawaii we were always taught to "Go fo Broke".. like our Uncles did during the War for Hawaii's Japanese Americans. the Japanese Americans from Hawaii got into a lot of fights with the Nisei from the Mainland.. different upbringings even though they were from the same Country of Origin.. but after they learned that they also "volunteered" after their families were imprisoned .. the Nisei from Hawaii felt their brothers from the Mainland were above all reproach.. although their living numbers are small and dwindling everyday due to age.. we must never forget and past this legacy on to the children here and on the mainland, of the brave Nisei that gave their lives for a Country that turned their backs on them. BTW.. the battalion they saved were the same soldiers that spit on them in basic training at fort Bliss.. but there was never any remorse from the Nisei.. my fathers Classmate and good friend is the soldier playing taps in the documentary, it's worth a view... we will always be proud of the phrase "Go for Broke"
  15. I get the full board .. same version as on my computer.. and just magnify the the screen enough to read the font.. it gives me a choice of versions.. the iphone or any other mobile is good for spot checking when I'm in the gym or waiting in line for something..
