That sounds like a fantasy R.. . . ."your watch has been running non-stop since Friday afternoon" . . . once again .. the anticipation is the better part of the wait.. and as you more than anyone knows.. it's been a long journey with many , many detours and bumps along the way.. That's why this one will definately be hierloom material Aloha~Cheers R~

Incredible Stephane !!! . . . thank you for the great images... . . cool wirst shots!! Lani

thanks CG !!!.. There is nothing like the smell of the ocean with coffee in the morning !! that's way cool .. to post the pic of your local watchsmith.. seems like he's been in his profession for a very long time.. Cheers L

what a view CC .... betcha can ride for hours without a stop light to get in the way.. like we can on the island of Hawaii here.. keep the rubber side on the road... Lani

To ALL ~ My apologies for the delay in getting the RWG Intra~fora Photo contest kicked off.. there have been some minor glitches.. nothing that is an issue.. so I will be spending the weekend coordinating with the Judges and preparing the format for the "Show" All Judges*** I will be in touch over the weekend I hope you all participate .. there is a lot at stake !! Bragging rights for the rest of 2009 ... so get your cameras.. cell phones ready.. cause we plan to have fun and I know the competition will be intense !! Aloha~Cheers Lani ~ aka... raffle meister if you've been practicing.. let's see some previews .... post um !!!! if you got um.....

Before I say anything .. R .. I am humbled by the fact that I am termed "a good friend" and for that Ubi I sincerely .. thank you for your respect in that ! As anyone would be honoured to have you as a valued friend ! and I'm not talking about watches.. just as a person. As one of the most humble veteran members as well as a perfectionist in horology .. it has been my pleasure (100) to have gotten to know you over this past year. when Ubi told me of his plan.. and talking with him on the phone, I was blown ... it has left me speechless .. I was literally at a lost.. Ubi actually did more than guide me.. if not for his expertise and internet knowledge.. I would not have gotten any of the parts needed.. and then when all seemed futile.. and I was about to chaulk it up to "a learning experience".. I was told not to worry.. the project would be fullfilled with NOS parts.. INCREDIBLE..!! All I can say is .. Thank you R.. for your kindness ! I believe I will cover the Tudor with bubble wrap while it's on ma wrist.. R I do believe there will be one timepiece on my wrist for a long time to come..as a replicated dial would of been my grail.. but this !!

Friday ~

Ditto .. Welcome dye Good to have you here !! Aloha~Cheers Lani

I had a parcel erroneously delivered to somewhere in Cali.. and I live in Hawaii.. all in all, with the number of parcels that leave China inadvertently errors are bound to happen.. but it really is a minimal amount .. IMO. the only thing to do is wait until the parcel is delivered.. to where ever it will be delivered to. Until then .. there's no telling if you have someone else's # or USPS just messed up an routed the parcel to the wrong destination. Lani

just a few . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .of each model...

thank you Hooky, but when you have Chiefs AR service .. your pushed to learn to do the crystal swaps yourself... it's a necessity Aloha Lani

OK.. what's the sense of buying equipment.. just for this hobby if ya can't post um actually this is the only place to post um.. Lani

As always K . you never dissapoint ! Fantastic ma man !!!!!!!!!! Aloha~Cheers L

A member on TZ did have his watch smith remove his cyclops on his GMT II.. he wanted to be able to view the date font without the mag.. he did post pics of it on TZ..

Congrats !! Super pictorial !! the Railmaster is by far a great rep. !! the strap is ..IMO the best reptile rep .. bar none !! and the lume.. fogetaboutit.. top shelf.. Live Strong and Wear it Well M. A~C Lani

It is really the Community as a whole that takes credit.. I myself am not an "expert" just a part of the whole and a team member here.. but I regress.. Welcome !!.. you have hit the best watch forum bar none.. genuine or replication. you WILL find experts here.. in movements as well as detail in dial etc. take your time and you will find as much enjoyment here as we all have.. This is a great community .. I've found a home here.. and tons of support !! Aloha~Cheers Lani

I have a few reps... and thanks .. I'm really trying to get the hang of greeting Noobs.. A~C Lani

Sorry double post

I did clarify that Carl.. this is about discussing and taking action to produce a "list" for the best reps.. yup, I'll be the first to say.. I'm not perfect in anything I do.. but I'm not going to change the header.. it really is "Manini".. what we in Hawaii refer to (a very small reef fish) that is pretty much not a big deal.. the thread if you have the time to read it all evolved into a guide of the best reps .. and good reps for the price.. No sense in redoing the thread.. "super rep" .. unsuper rep.. great rep.. good rep.. sheesh.. "No big thing" so .. I believe we are on the same page.. as I too at times don't read through the entire thread.. so no right or wrong here.. you are very welcomed to "Join" in .. with the details of this project .. we can never enlist enough support for our community.. after all .. we're all trying to "Improve" and I speak for myself... so join in my friend.. !! Let's do this together ~ Lani

One of my Fav vintage ... 1655

That's some heavily stamped passport your carrying Asim.. another set of incredible images.. thank you !! after viewing mostly wrist shots here for a few years.. it's nice to get to know the members by actual County and residence.. Aloha Lani

ok .. I tried to clarify .. "Super Rep" .. is probably the incorrect euphamism ... I think "best of the best" would be more to the point.. no need to apologize .. but if you would like to join in the creation of this and turn the negative into a positive for the Community.. it would be well appreciated I'm sure.. so instead of saying what isn't possible why not do what is.. Ya never know until you give it a shot... all is just a play on semantics actually .. mental masturbation so to speak... that's what happens when people play chess matches alone.. I tend not to think to heavily on what is not.. and what cannot... but rather what we can accomplish.. simple excersize .. I try and keep it that way..
