Happy BE_LATED B-Day TT... At least ya don't have to keep pulling out your Rep ID in the watering holes now..

I should add.. most importantly.. Chiefs new generation AR.. has practically "no Hue" .. so it works brilliantly with the SMP.. since there is no visible colour to the AR.. it just amplifies the dial colour and "detail".. the Blue dial w/Chiefs AR UPO franken w/Ciefs AR

10-4 that A... Chief say's he's going to start doing Ar's that are exactly like the Genuine brands.. ie. very Blue hue for the IWC.. etc.. cannot wait Yes.. I still have the Blue Chrono.. I took the crystal off the SMP non chrono, to use on the Black Chrono.. .. and I gotta say chiefs AR on the SMP non chrono, it looks .. euphoric .... (on the non Chrono SMP dial) .. so now I have to get another one of Chiefs AR's for the SMP edit to add: @dizzy.. sorry man missed your post .. thank you for the kind words.. Brah !!

.. I mean with direct "natural lighting".. without the artificial lights being manipulated.. and the Black dial takes on the light differently.. although you cannot disregard your photo skills.. I'm talking about "Hawaii's" Sun.. no cloud cover like... hmpphh ... your part of the Planet.. What are ya goin to do for the Calendar ... that will be your best work..

thank you DL... you are so "on"..... with the normal non AR crystal there is so much light bouncing off the surface you cannot get a clean shot.. and this is the same settings as the pics with Chiefs AR..

Thank you T ..... Good to see you drop in Ma MAN !!!!!!!! Hope everything is on Auto Drive for ya... Mahalo BT Like most members I need to get a wider angle lens..

It's Unacceptable NOT to swap a crystal that has made the trip to Cali ..... I could not take it anymore... to have the Crystal without Chiefs AR.. Ok I know the genuine has no AR.. that's Omega's Problem.. It became mine.. it is jus sooo irratating with all the glare bouncing of the timepiece.. So I'm "Doing it my way" as the BK would say...

the only reason I wear a watch is that I am used to the extra weight on my left wrist .. without a medium weight watch, the timing on my back swing is off and my putting stroke is imbalanced.... it may be only psychological ... but the feeling is important to me.. anyway .. back on point .... unless you swing like the Pros and take a huge divet .. the impact or shock is not that great.. should be no problem .. remember though that not all reps are made with consistency..

If I had your Gen it would be ma fav too !! Avitt.. trade ya..

The Black... I am looking for the pics of the Vintage (red, blue dial).. I have the white also.. I like them all.. but you may prefer the black for all attire.. On HK Gator

Nothing like the first one.. Live Strong and Wear it Well..

Only on the RWG... The Best of everything starting from the TOP !!

by far not the Gen.. but I like it none the less.. I guess it would depend on skin pigment.. This has got the CHS..

Stand by all.. details are being worked out with Admin.. so please if you have any "suggestions" pm me .. We are leaning toward selling the Calendar and not the PDF .. There will be others on the team to coordinate this project.. thank you R

This was a topic I suggested earlier as I dicussed this with Admin a few months ago.. to save shipping and customs hassles ... do the printing in members own regions seperately but with coordination..this sounds like the best plan ..

@Pugs.. would it be possible to have representatives in various regions accept the PDF and do the printing for their respective "districts"?? in. regions in the US.. and different countries in the EU ?? and Asia and points beyond.. at least that way we have a coordinated plan to get them printed.. avoid shipping and customs hassles.. but be assured of the printed item..instead of everyone trying to get it printed separately..

Great !!.. I will leave it to you guy's over seas to get Capice on the "Horn"... also Tuboguate .. is a printer.. and has graciously offered to compare pricing with whatever we come up with .. OK.. great !! your adminstrative skills will be invaluable M .. First things first we need to do some research on pricing.. then get that info to Turboguate .. so he can crunch some numbers and see if he can do us better on the production .. distributrion needs to be worked out as does payment .. ordering etc. All that stuff will need to be handled by a select member or members.. since too many hands in the pot make for confusion..

Of course M.. we need organization and formatting and ideas.. for the different months ... to "flow" with vintage models to modern.. to avatars .. or avatars could be on a different calendar... so your organizational "skills".. are much "needed".. as I remember your spread sheet itemizing all the Pams with every detail.. I jus had an idea.. we are going to need everyones strong traits.. to really make this a great project.. Click here

Shundi... Sq pilot .... notice these avatars have nothing to do with artistic measure.. Pugs... for the simple reason that it's hard to forget.. The mentalist ... dun know jus think its cool..

OK gang.. Admin gives his Blessings on this project so we need to get started Some of the veteran members that will be invaluable .. everyone who responded to the previous "gauging interset" thread TeeJay .. we hope you get to see this.. because your proffessional talent is needed We'll need dates from the Admin team as to the start and important events that shaped RWG So .. Ubi Pugs Bytor Phaedo JMT TMG Bazz Tribal Euno Coolfire Shundi Freddy .. don't think your artistic pics will escape .. and our members from "Down Under" if i left anyone out .. excuse me .. I gotta carry my ID with me all the time.. for my sake.. Let's get goin we only got a couple of months First things first as Ubi stated in the other thread.. there are vendors on the web that do Calendars.. anyone care to do the footwork for pricing ?? any thoughts on making this a fund raiser for the Forum ?? any members who can pitch in and help... Pugs...Teejay ... maybe you guy's can start working on a rough draft format.. something to get us started and something we can tweak and build on.. hope we get a lot of members involved in this.. Let's see the team work and make this happen gang!!

That would be a "given" and I would like to see Bazz's original water drops.. Pug has many more to choose from OK Admin gives his Blessings on this project.. so it is an official Go !!

Well... it's members like you , Ubi,.. Tribal.. Bazz... Laz..and many others..oh yeah.. Jojo of course.. that give me the insight and support... and the incentive through your timepieces to spend mo money.. (Nah) .. my most prized ..joyful vintage watches are a result of all of you who inspire.. and of course Ziggy who makes the dream come true.. you all have given time to help me source parts so Ziggy can make it come true.. but back on point.. this will be a fun project !!!

The DW font is good out of the box.. but SOP.. the tube-crown will need replacing as the other SMP's .. and I'm going to put my spare SMP crystal that has been AR'd by Chief on.. the Lume is very good but needs charging.. I'll try for Macro pics by the end of the week..

There was not enough time to take macro pics.. I don't know when I'll have the time this week.. but a few rough pics .. New case back
