agree.. that is the only reason.. very good deals now.. We'll see .. I'm sure to seek you and BT.. before hand.. thanks S

OK.. we have lift off .. well almost, by tomorrow it should be in Air Space and closer to CONUS... I should chill... being this excited is not good.. open mind... open mind.... WFT.. I'm excited.. Status: Foreign Acceptance

Looking good S .... I have been seriously thinking of the genuine .. maybe for Xmas ..

~ Kawela Bay is sort of a private liitle bay.. friends beach house is fun .. factoring in the proper company (female type) ~ popular at Zippy's and elswhere now is .. Loco Moco ... one scoop rice.. hambuger patty .. egg.. over easy on top and covered in brown gravy.. onolicious !! ~ still going strong at Koko Marina ~ Dawn patrol used.. to be my regular time to start .. one hour before sunrise.. paddling out.. usually South Shore.. medium waves.. not on the North Shore with the huge waves.... you try to get as many "rides" in the peace of "no crowd" as possible.. thanks for bringing back memories Robbie .... that's when work wasn't really an issue.. as long as we had the herbs and the boards..

One amendment : The coating is ~ Titanium Carbon Nitride ... so it is a Titanium based Carbon treatment.. I know I had the notes right from the buyer of the genuine article..

Running out the door.. but I put up pics of the OEM (specs) HK Tan distressed buffalo on my BP .... the thread should be close if you cannot find it .. later I will.. gotta run ciao ~

Amway. . . . . ....

you should replace it regardless.. ofrei.com .. (watch parts) they have both the vintage and newer pearl with insert about 35 usd.. for insert and pearl.. more accurate .. FB-12409 is the one you want.. http://www.ofrei.com/page_151.html

Confirm +1 Samu .. i fordering from HK .. jus tell him OEM specs .. but tell him your wrist size as the OEM legnth is rather long IMO.. he made mine 2 mm shorter and it works perfect for me.. my wrist is 7 to 7.5 depending on diet ..heat.. etc.

doing nothing but viewing your avatar Shun ....

Sounds like he put you down for a Swiss 7750 movement.. that's the only way I could conceive that price .. because mine was pre ordered at less than half that..way less .. Edit Add: I couldn't conceive that price even with a swiss 7750.. jus thought I'd state that ..but that would be the likely synopsis..

Shucks... and all this time I thopught a Chronograph was a multiple record playin Phonograph...

excuse me .. I do not know the names for these parts I call "arms" .. it seemed when they were in this 12 oclock position it stopped the wheel underneath from functioning .. as soon as I moved it apart and clockwise .. and touched the wheel lightly .. the wheel started up again, when I moved the lower arm back to this position it stopped again .. I still had to regulate it but honestly both my skylands were in this position and both stopped .. after moving the lower arm .. and regulating the upper arm.. it has been running about 20 seconds fast per day.. it still needs fine tuning but I am happy jus leaving it for now.. if your movement is keeping good time.. don't mess with it.. I thought yours stopped working ?? hope this helps.. For any expert explanation or answer if this is jus a "symptom" of something else .. Ziggy would b ethe one to answer that .. as I jus got lucky..

Congrats SD .. I know you will do well on your exams..... Just my thoughts on J ... I do not believe in my gut that he is a scammer.. he just got in a little over his head I think .. with his job and then taking on all the watches.. members have been getting them back all but slowly.. I still have outstanding credit with J .. so I have an investment in him also .. but maybe we should not turn our back on him .. you never know what reasons are behind someones actions.. for example, a worker was being so .. out of context.. making mistakes .. spacing out.. being very moody.. good thing I let it go and just politely asked .. if everything was OK.. turns out she was going through Chemotherapy but still showed up for work .. like a trooper and did her job to the best of her ability.. The last communication I had with J a short time ago he said he would take care of the issue within a week.. that was the last I heard of him All I'm saying is he does not hit me like the person who would "scam" .. why he has not responded more.. I do not know .. I just hope everything is OK for him.. and you are not to Blame or find fault !! .. but your post Say's volumes of your character .. thank you for posting this.. :thumbs up smiley anime:

Sweet Siesta !! See you on Sunday Night in the Booth Mano if not sooner

Wednesday 089 TI ~ Anthracite Dial.. Oxidized ~ Ziggied, Kruzer OEM Ti crown with Watch Boys Gator Thursday ~ Ebel The Pics are in Rememberance of Summer Sun..

IMO.. because of the smaller lug size (as compared to the PAMS) it looks good on even small wrist.. I don't have a large wrist.. my wrist will increase 1/2" depending on my diet (sodium etc) .. So my wrist will vary from 7" to 7.5" (average size strap) .. take a look at the wrist shots for reference.. so I would say it is a Big Watch .. but does not wear as such .. lug size is about 21.5 mm

it seems that others feelings are not that important to you .. until U experience life it will not be i guess... NO !.. I am not using the analogy of the Holocaust as being on the same level .. what I am trying to "illustrate" in your minds eye is my initial shock when 'viewing' something that is repulsive to me... not to be put on the same level what so ever.. but it seems that an extreme analogy was needed to make some "think" about my words as they are my "feelings" and you are right about one thing (in a row ..lol) you should make .. no comment.. this thread was meant for discussion as I was truly shocked at your posting and more so with the attitude that followed .. what may not be important to you does not mean it should not be important to others .. respect is what it boils down to.. I wish I could be as eloquent as RobbieG with words.. but I'm not .. but my feelings and values is what drives me and what I live by .. I cannot stand South Park .. and did not allow the children I was raising to watch it.. and it was not the joke but the subject of the joke that I took great offense over.. TJ is passionate about his beliefs .. to him it is an attack on his total being... I did not intend for this thread to get ugly.. or bring religion into it.. I thought it could be "discussed" without ridicule .. maybe I was hoping things could be different.. Insanity .. I guess.. perhaps we could call this one a "No contest" as no sides will come out feeling good about anything .. I am not meaning to make sweeping "moral' judgements" not trying to "Judge" at all !! just relaying my 'feelings" about these issues... It is never my place to "Judge" anyone.. to do that would be to say I'm perfect.. far from it ... time to move on ...

Well, if the analogy creates the same feelings then then both instances did cross the line.. jus a matter of choice then .. btw.. editing the post because I gave the courtesy of not 'copying' it.. well.. let's, let this one go Ry.. it's a no win situation IMO.. no sense auguing such strong feelings..

SOP.. Macro pictorial .. gotta ask Avitt to comment on the coating as it said to be the same as the genuine as sample.. not PVD.. don't know if it's DLC.. what is "Blacksteel" ? Since Avitt is our in house pro on these coatings .. I hope he chimes in.. PVD was the V-1 version I believe what made my skyland movement stop was the regulator.. I don't know what is happening with that but adjusting it fixed the Dead movement issue.. gotta post that one for Ziggy..

Seems like both debaters have the same mindset but different values.. I would imagine .. the "White Supremicist" groups would find humor where we would not.. I could not fathom finding any humor in the Holocoust .. but there are those sick enough to do so .. so perhaps it is the same as me thinking that "public ridicule" of the dissabled is unacceptable .. so it would seem that we are not on the same page .. and that's OK.. such is life's choices.. and we do live in a countries that are free of censorship.. somewhat .. but understand that this poster to me was as unacceptable to me as finding humor in the Holocaust would be to all.. and them's are "my" feelings" that I choose not to ingnore.. so I "can voice" my objection.. so no one is loosing any freedoms here ... you have your opinion.. and I have mine.. not right.. not wrong.. jus personal "feelings"

Now I am getting confused with the analogy .. you mean to say that you consider a "Child" an object or "idea" .. I would say that the child in the poster is a "Human being" with feelings and dreams the same as you and I .. And censoring it is enough.. so what happened in Auschwitz should be just censored and public outcry is carrying it "a bit much?" .. so those Human Beings should it be OK to use them as "Satire" .. You can laugh at the reaction Pugs.. for it seems to me "you" just don't get it ..... all the semantics and so called academics does not hide the facts .. funny I met a boy today with the same issue as the child in the poster.. he was carrying a basketball, came up to me while I was stretching just to say "hi".. and tell me proudly he was going to go upstairs and play with his brother... and I thought .. what a coincidence after some were making a "joke" yesterday.. He wasn't "Afraid" of what people may think.. which made me wonder who the real "brave ones are" Is it they .. that have no fear what you may think .. or is it us that can find humor in such ... Funny he didn't resemble a "joke" or "humor" in anyway..shape or form to me.. but then again that's jus me All I have to say is .. "WHAT DO YOU ALL FEAR?" .. we joke a lot at times of things that frighten us .. or that we fear as threatening .. I guess it is how you view the world.. through what glasses you see others.. and yourself.. have you been called "short".. watch out you don't hit your head on the table counter ? what do you fear ?? This is not an Ideal or object of religion that is made fun of .. and that is the BIG difference .. in mind sets .. they say americans always go with the "Underdog" for me I jus don't like to see the unfortunate "picked on" or "Bully"d" .. the old saying .. pick on someone who will fight back is always alive and well.. that may not be Mensa material.. but I like it.. it would be hilarious to me to see someone's knee's buckle and fall under one crack... that would be really be hilarious.. but then again that is my sense of humor..

You Sir are aflicted with the New Member desease... "I don't care if it's not accurate"... we have all gone through this dreaded phase in our Hobby... you should really listen to deltaT .... he knows first hand.. Furthermore are you missing the posts that state.. WAIT !!!! there will be a 5004 with a much more accurate dial coming out !! that is a no brainer .. the only draw back would be .. in the rep industry .. soon may be next month or the beggining of next year... I'm waiting... but then again.. I waited for the 5002 and it was all worth it... But do what you do... you can alway's buy the correct dial when it comes out.. or wear the "incorrect" one... and sooner rather than later.. "you will care"

I'm hoping the lume dots will be at least acceptable, I think it will be fine,.. as seen with the naked eye..... my number stamp is 101 .. it most likely will arrive first thing next week ..
