Both brands were fathered by Hans Wilsdorf; Rolex in 1905, and, Tudor, the baby, in 1946. it was in the 1990's I believe that it was decided that they should go their separate ways Tudor was supposed to be established as a more affordable line..I believe... L

everyone.. will always remember what they were doing on 9/11/2001 ..... and how it forever changed Humanity.. 3000 lost souls... conspiracy theories spiraling like crazy.. If I say anything else.. I'll be crossing the line into politics ... so .. so all I will say is we Americans have very long memories .. forgiveness may be the righteous thing......but the more time passes .. the angrier I become!! not at any Religion or religious fanatics, nor any ethnic race.. but at the way everything was handled. We will never forget.. the sacrifices that are still being made today.. Lani

+1... a retailer would have to be very desperate.. or plain Dumb to risk selling reps in a certified shop.. by certified I mean he would risk loosing his brand accounts.. they would be better off selling reps on the net and keeping their shop "clean".. and finally if such a store does exist .. I am sure the quality is not up to standards.. there were kiosks in Waikiki.. years ago that used to sell fake Rolex's from Korea.. in hidden parts of the "International Market Place".. with quartz movements..

I have in my "working collection" .. a very small amount of genuine and franken .. the problem is I am attached to all my collection.. I often say .. "I need to sell off the watches that I never wear and hardly ever wore" .. then I look at them and remember them before all the modding and time to hunt down parts.. and then I slowly put them back in their case and look forward to seeing them again at a later time.. I mean really .. do I need all the watches that I have.. most of them have been heavily modded to specs... the answer is always "NO" .. of course I can use the funds (if I sold them).. to und other purchases (Gens).. Then I always revert back to the collector mentality.... sometimes I just enjoy taking them out and viewing them.. regardless of wearing them or not.. L

Well,, these last two months has been filled with members full of health issues.. for a long time I stray away from using pain killers unless absolutely necessary.. I have on many occasions used alternative treatment. although for some issues health providers are non negotiable But one source of relief for me over the years has been my acupuncturist ... no.. not the fancy "New age" advertise on TV ones.. this dude is in a little hole in the wall... he is originally from Tibet.. and does not like his Picture taken. (Political of course) .. but after pulling hairs to get my Mom and Dad in .. my Dad was scheduled to see a specialist .. he has what is described as a narrowing of the spinal cord and thus experiences extreme pain in his legs and back.. He is forced to sleep in an upright position and gets pretty nasty when the pain chronic.. Mom has neck (surgery long ago) and was not able to lift her arm up at all.. let alone sleep at night.. so, enter the Son .. who is trying to be a "good Son" .. and help when ever I can.. Well, enough is enough I told my Dad .. "You got nothing to loose except your pain"!! My deal is.. if you can get the "edge" taken off it will be like night and day.. A month and 3 treatments later... Dad has cut his pain in half.. has more energy due to the herbs given him (medicine comes from nature after all).. and Mom has full flexibility in her arms and shoulders.... It works for nerves.. and most of the time that is what is causing the most pain.. A~C L

Andrew.. Yesterday whilst in the gym I looked at my wrist in the full length mirrors.. (since I'm not quite up to speed with the weights yet, I don't even suit up in gym clothes.. so I wear my Ubifranken Snowflake) It actually looked a lot bigger on my wrist than viewing it at arms length.. and as you know the snowflake is not a large cse set.. I was actually surprised at how big it appeared.. L TOOOoooooooo Funny !!
