Admin will set up a special forum here for the Fantasy Sports games.. so sign up.. chime in.. let's get this rolling for the NFL games this weekend..

Hau'oli la Hanau ... Chubby !!! Hope this day is Special !! A~C L

Very Nice collection S !!! thanks for taking the time to post them.. A~C L

Tiers ~

I hear a dealer is using his genuine to replicate this now.. so you may not have to go the expensive route of sourcing all the separate parts. L

Ok.. Admin say's we can have our own forum for this event !! so common guy's let's see whose interested chime in .. we can play with a small number of participants or a large group.. we will start with the NFL games..but it won't be restricted to just that sport.. EU members you can play to whatever sport is in season too !! Let's do this .. FUN !! Prizes !! L

My thought is ... we follow your lead DT .. since I've only "collected" for the house in another life .. I'm not familiar with these fantasy leagues .. I agree with keeping it simple for the first season at least. Where can we do this ?? Does this warrant it's own section ?? so as not to con volute GD or OT sections.. I figure why not create our own sport leagues here so members can stay here and do the fantasy League thing here too instead of jumping from forum to forum.. I like the "No spread" rule.. anyway.. let's see what T say's .. I'll shoot a PM ..we can plan prizes as members climb on board.. A~C Lani

another option other than removing it yourself.. is to find a watchsmith that is "rep friendly" .. I learned to swap crystals by necessity .. and believe me I am all thumbs when it comes to watches.. so stick around long enough and you will evolve.. Offshore is close to your area code and can help you with the basic tools.. never say never panman !! where there is a will .. there is definitely a way.. post a thread asking for any rep friendly watch smiths in your area.. A~C Lani

Indeed !!.. a good start jmb ... have fun with your acquisition !! and may you have plenty mo !! A~C L

Fantasy League ?? We all know our enthusiasm for sports .. Weather it be Futbol.. NFL ... NHL... Baseball ...NBA I'm just thinking out loud.. would a "Fantasy League" Work with our Community ?? A lot of you probably belong to various Fantasy leagues already.. I have never participated in one myself .. so I am a total NOOB in this area.. but I think it has it's interests..and forming a League here could be fun ?? maybe the Admin team can give us a "Fantasy League Section" ?? Thought's ??? A~C Lani Edit Add: Admin will set up a special forum here for the Fantasy Sports games.. so sign up.. chime in.. let's get this rolling for the NFL games this weekend..

Congrats RT !! Enjoy your BP !! A~C Lani

Hey Ubi.. how'd ya like the trade I made.. A~C L

Starting out the week with my Gen. Exp. II ~

Sending crystals to Chief for AR service has no customs risks .. as long as you can send the crystals only... As I have had alot of crystals AR'd by chief.. all I will say is they are the best.. better than Genuine Brands.. I would equate it to the UN brand of Ar's.. and all you pay is 50 to 60 usd.. Can't loose with CT's.. A~C L

Dang JJ ... your pieces no matter what base will surely have "All" the upgrades.. it's SOP for you .. I have the TT on order.. if I had half of the upgrades you have I would be on cloud 9 ... thanks for sharing that !! A~C L

That's a beauty robk.!! .. I messed up with my order (divers strap) .. do you have squeaky's addy, I cannot find it.. ?? this is going to bother me (no doubt) until I correct it.. I need the straight ended strap. thanks in advance.. @Morlock ... waiting for your review... A~C L

So hard to pick just 3 top 5 would be more like it.. not necessarily in this order.. Modded 1655 ... gen. crown/tube, tropic 116 crystal, gen. 78360 bracelet Ubi Franken Snowflake Tudor 7032 Monte Carlo ~ Gen crystal,.. Movement.. da rest is Phong's Genuine Explorer II .. Genuine Vintage.. "the Fat Lady" I have to squeeze my newest genuine acquisition in .. c.861 Speedy Moon Watch ~ *sigh* ... there are more.. just 1 more... A~C L

Just some quick and dirty pics.. of my FF21.. although I ordered the incorrect divers strap (curved) it should be the straight ended strap.. Oh well,... I'll live with it for now.. At first glance I thought the case would be top heavy .. but .. not at all.. it sits very comfortably and is very well balance on the wrist. I have really evolved into wearing the vintage reps and vintage genuine pieces in my collection about 95% of the time .. I don't know what it is about the pexi crystals,... but they are my preference now.. maybe more character to them .. and the genuine Tropics crystals for Rolex has a unique sparkle to them in the sunlight.. My wrist are average 7.5" more or less depending on my diet..and surprisingly the FF21 wears about the same (to my eye's at arms length) like a Rolex Sub.. with a little more height.. It's a very versatile piece.. it goes with Nato strap as well as divers and I would assume it would look good on the water proof leather MP's.. I kind of like it for a daily beater.. Thanks for viewing gang !! A~C Lani

I must have the V2 Ok now at least I know which version I have.. I couldn't get used to the weight.. plus the gen bracelet wouldn't sit to my liking.. it's jus a personal preference.. A~C L

Ozone ~

electro ~

I'm using the 580 end links B.it's not a flush fit .. but not noticeable .. unless you macro it.. for me it sit;s more comfortably on my wrist with the genuine bracelet .. I have a few genuine bracelet's .. its just so much more comfortable.. so I only use it on my WM9 ... 1655 ... and I have one for my Ubifranken Tudor but it is on a G-10 at the moment.. A~C L

the dial is silver on the rep.. however .. they were working on correcting the ar it is yellowish which discolours the dial.. A~C L
