111H for Saturday

update.. it was released from customs this afternoon.. but with the cut backs in unit hours here and tomorrow is the weekend.. I doubt I'll get it before Monday.. it is a possibility though.. I'll post pics and size as soon as it arrives.. AC Lani

if that is one you did..TJ.. you can make some serious dolla doing tats.. most think if you can draw you can do tats.. not so.. it is very, different from painting or drawing.. but that looks good.. clean lines!! a tip my buddy told me years ago.. in the US it's called A&D ointment.. (diaper rash ointment)apply it everyday until the tat heals and you will not scab or itch.. ergo no scaring which can ruin the tat.. I never had a problem with my tats scabbing or flaking..and not itching when healing was great.. AC L

I can't comment on the size until mine arrives..it's from Josh.. L

thanks Red.. Two Tall used to frequent here.. he was on RG.. but I haven't been there forever, so .. dunno if he's still around I have a ammmo strap from him I haven't used yet. and it is very nice.. funny I cannot find a combo for the 029 that I like as much as this one.. it just blends with the bezel and dial.. AC Lani

Looks good Red.. green is not my thing but it looks good on you ... AC Lani

Nice Seiko collection .. I remember when citizen was released .. kept the best time on the planet with their quartz mvnts AC Lani

needs a relume... looks good with my Ray Bans on though.. AC L

regardless.. of the crown.. it is a big ass watch... I have one inbounds.. I think it'll be toooooo big to wear though... AC Lani

nice to know not to play with the bezel then.. Thank you ZM L

Thank you for bringing that up ZM.. I would not post this without your lead... for those of you that are under a couple of years old here.. I had an experience that I was ready to stand alone on.... long story short.. there were a lot of lies and members believed them.. and the thread was to drag me though broken glass ...I had work done on a 029 by another modder.. and it was a disaster.. the lume was really messed up.. the movement was trashed.. screw heads stripped etc. .. ZM was going to send it back .. I sent it as my first appointment as a "rescue" job.. after exposing the shoddy work and the "truth" ZM.. then spend a number of hours resurrecting my 029 and it still runs spot on today.. in fact, mac pics are posted in the Pam section..I had forgotten that one of the mods ZM did which was not a rescue.. was swap the rep mag for a Kruzer project mag.. Some say to this day on other fora that ZM wants all the work.. .. I laugh at that .. as ZM endorsed Vac.. that is not a sign of a greedy Man.. Vac does good work and ZM stated that ..because the proof was there.. He would be the first to compliment given the proof of good work..which he has done.. Z has kept the quality and awareness of movements and mod work here... at the expense of hate mail.. it just proves the character of the accusers..he has been the soul of RWG ... try writing a review.. as detailed .. and see how much time it takes.. yet alone be educational. I am venting at the moment .. there are always a few that cannot appreciate what ZM has done for RWG.. maybe they are not RWG'rs to begin with.. Sorry for going way off topic.. but this need to be said...... L

I've found over the last couple of years that ZM is a straight shooter.. character is top shelf ... It is a shame that being the best has it's draw backs.. many jealous members and members that "wanna be" Many, many hours of work and trial and error.. some think that a 10 minute read takes the same time to manufacture..that is funny.. ZM has shown his character to me from before I sent my first watch to him .. R and J have been nothing but honest!!! to say anything else would be blatantly malicious, and that is all rumors and innuendo are... it is a real shame.. that some can hide behind the internet... the only thing left to say to those that think they know better is, "the proof is in the end results".. and I am not patronizing ZM.. he doesn't need it and neither do I.. great work is what it is.. Lani

If your addictive personality is anything like ours then you have arrived at the right place... it is a great addiction and outstanding members for your part of the planet AC Lani

I forgot to add: the clarity of the mag is due to a mag swap.. awhile ago Kruzer had done a mag project .. the rep mag that came with this rep is no where close.. AC Lani

lowering the cost of the item is a double edge sword.. sure you pay less in tariff.. but if the watch is lost what will insurance cover?? your sender could try 'returning to sender .. repaired' .. UPS and FedEX have their own brokerage house for customs.. so they are pretty keen on the value of the genuine .. you could try placing a lesser value on it.. if they call you on it.. that's just the chance you take AC Lani

Your point is taken freddy.. too many times the makers intentions are what they say them to be.. but do they actually fit a genuine on to test?? these are some of the issues our hobby has (sadly).. and their mindset is to improve the rep as they go along.. (the rep trade is just this) I see where members are coming from .. there is a lot of propaganda from the company I am contracted with, I just have to sort out the good from the bad.. human nature really.. So I end up with a rep that I will not mod.. disappointing yes,... will I attack the dealer.. no... move on.. may be a good idea for noobs to wait as the test is in the mods..we don't know until we actually attempt to mod these or send them to one of the modders for mod..that's the axis of this hobby...imo.. L

It's called marketing.. the World is full of it..every brand .. every Company I doubt you or anyone here believes everything they read.. that's why we wait for pics and reviews.. if members find it's not what it is cracked up to be pass..simple..really.. Some of us buy reps and post pics and reviews .. so others can decide and not spend their money on reps that are less than what we thought they would be.. leave it at that .......just pass..did you buy one? .. I've bought reps that were not what I thought they were.. don't blame the dealer.... that's why you wait for the reviews. these friggin comments are useless really.. what good do they do us ? A simple.. "I'll pass on this one".. would suffice wouldn't it?? L

Good idea col. .. TJ's all for it.. Something to think about organizing down the road.. AC Lani

Congrats Andy ... a nice collection.. Live Strong and Wear them Well AC Lani
