  1. This is what the rep crystal, both are from Joshua (double AR) should look like .. (the genuine does have a heavy blue hue)

    I sent mine to Chief, you can see the difference.. it may not be technically correct though

    but neither is the whole watch.. :lol:

    I think we waited for so long for a decent replication.. after I got it.. I figured.. what the heck.. I like the touch of CT's AR..

  2. Great topic deniz :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    An exit watch for me does not exist..

    Of course there are grail watches that everyone would like to own, but keeping realistic.. there is "One" that I would like to own..

    Interesting to think of just one watch that would end the hunt..

    I keep thinking of the One that started it all not necessarily one that would end the journey..

    that would be arriving at the final destination,... which seems like a Myth.. :lol:

    And thank you D.. for your friendship as well as your loyalty to the community.. :1a:

  3. :g:

    Yuki's had those valves listed for a while now. At $100 per, it's a bit... Steep?

    Really who in their right mind would pay 100 usd for a little bitty piece of metal like that.. probably a fanatic for watches me thinks :nea:

    in everyday reality whats the benefit of installing a working he valve in our reps? im asking

    it's really part of the "hobby" to get the rep into it's finest state .. not that any of us would dive deep enough or even dive with the watch for that matter.. but for the tech aspect of the hobby.. It's just another challenge in an attempt to replicate the genuine.

  4. +1 DL.. seems like the Olympic committee is spinning it (as usual).. when world class Olympians crash, in the practice run,.. you cannot say the death was due to a Rookie mistake... "12" crashes in one day of practice.. wTF od they want ??.. hitting speeds close to a 100 mph.. that is insane.

  5. What a tragic start to the Olympics.. man they need to rethink the luge track.. I would rather see technical skill than a crash course for speed..

    they talked about padding the pillars.. no amount of padding is going to stop bodies from breaking in half at those speeds..

    12 crashes today in practice runs alone.

  6. Saw that one. :o :o

    Nice lineup Lani, I`m especially jealous of that Diving star. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Just saw a 200T Graph elsewhere that`s looking for a new home.

    you believe P.. after you aquired your 300T US divers.. another one went up for sale on WUS for 1100.00 usd.. try that for depressing.. :black_eye:.. granted it was a redial.. but it looked perfectly done..

  7. thanks for you advice. realized will have to focus on CONUS deals and dealers - that's why it was nice to learn that josh ships from CONUS.

    i order a bunch of stuff from hong kong (not just watches). had a high power green laser pointer confiscated a last year(am sure they are having fun playing with that one). i guess i've been lucky they haven't taken any watches.

    great to have a 'local' resource like you - lucky we live hawaii!

    If Josh or any other dealer ships from China your fine... it goes through Conus first.. LA is the best,.. SOF .. can delay it at times..

    the shot from Ala Moana is my old.. Surf Spot.. "Concessions" and "Big Rights".. "Courts once in a while and "Bowls on the other side when it got bigger..hahaa.. the memories.. still got ma Aipa Sting.. won't ever sell that one... B)

    Holla out brah, if you need an assist.. Omni is one of the Ole Skool members here and he resides on Maui.. Palani is another .. he's a town guy too.. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

  8. if your seeing "splotchy" film on you crystal .. it just need to be cleaned with water and a rag.. the AR coating always has a film on it inside and out.. any foreign liquid that is attached to the crystal needs to be cleaned or it will appear like oil in a puddle of water when the sun light is reflecting off of it.. nothing wrong with the crystal.. it just needs cleaning.. DO NOT use anything but plain water.. or you may damage the AR coating..

  9. Thanks TJ.. I love the Orange 300T it is the most stream lined out of the 3..and just rest so nicely on the wrist..

    My most recent BoR is way too small .. looks like some owner extracted too many links.. probably squeezing out every penny form it..

    so I have to open everything to it's full capacity..

    but it beats wearing anything else on it.. :thumbsupsmileyanim:
