This is great input R !!.. I wanted to suggest this long ago.. but didn't know if it would get much interest.. we have such an eclectic and well rounded membership .. with all types of different professions.. I think this will be a "Snap"

RWG History.. and avatars of the Admin Team .. could lead off.. before the actual first Month .. as an intro History to RWG..

UPS stores.. Fed Ex - Kinkos .. do Calendars.. laminated... I doubt the cost will be low but not extremly high either.. I'll get a pricing sheet.. this week so we have a starting point.. We have a few months ... and of course it wouyld have to be pre-ordered..

Yes B.. ya need to start thinking about a pic to say it all for your AR service... crystals before and after or something artful .. jus a thought..

Yourself.. Tribal.. TMG... and others that actually build their own frankens would be great.. and we could ask Ziggy for a nice pic of part of his work station.. that IMO is a have to have !! Something with Chiefs AR .. maybe pics of the crystals being unpacked by him... @Shundi .. Teejay would be great !! we certainly have enough talent here.. even if we at first just do a handful.. it would be cool .. @vly .. that's the key word.. "let's" do it..

This is probsbly not an original idea... but I think it would be cool to have a 2009 Pictorial Calendar ... with wrist shots.. avatars.... leading review posters.. and of course the "top guns" in the vintage Rolex lines ... downloading the pics and taking it to one of many places that do Calendars for the New Year is not a problem.. I don"t believe the cost is more than we can afford.. There are many graphic artist here.. if we wanted to do the Calendars with trivia events through the years.. ie. when the First TRC or RWG was founded... important dates.. when the best reps were released .. upcoming events or reps etc. ... etc. This would surely involve a commitee and to choose the wrist shots.. it could be incorporated with your country.. ie. back drop in Pubs .. or something your country is known for... ie.. here in the States.. the Boston sports arenas.. etc. I really think it would be a fun and cool thing .. it does not have to be 12 months it could be 18 month calendar.. or whatever... we would do this on a made to order basis.. I'm sure the more orders the better.. or the EU members could arrange to have the same format printed in their country to avoid shipping costs.. Thoughts ??? we have time if we get busy to do one for the upcoming year.. Aloha~Cheers Lani

+1 .... I'll have to find a good aged stick to lite up to do the read on this review... topped yourself again my friend !!... looking forward to your documentaries next..

It is an Asian auto movement.. I have had mine running continuously for a couple of months now .. it has been keeping excellent time and has needed no regulation..

the PR shjould not be affected by the chrono running... but why would you want to continuously run the Chrono hand if you are not timing an event ??.. this has alway's confused me as to why someone would run their stop watch portion of the timepiece for absolutely no reason.. The A-7750 should work fine if not abused.. and if it is serviced properly should give you no problems... as long as certain steps are followed such as setting the Day-date or date... edit add:.. if you search Ziggy's info.. excessive hand winding is definately not recommended.. if their is no PR and the watch needs to be started I jus wind it enough to get it going and let the auto wind do the rest..

Sooooo.... who's gonna bid ?

unlike the Blackbird and BCE's aren't the tabs faux on the SOSF ? as they are on the skyland?? I tried to remove the bezel on the skyland without success.. does it pop off ?? Does the crystal and bezel come off together ??

if I do I'll make sure I'm close to a lavatory ... my stomachs not used to syntheitic meat... .. He's BAAAAAAAAAACKKK !!

Good to see you Slai !!!!!!!!!!! .. almost got up the nerve to try a Mcrib !! .. now i gotta try one..

V, for what it's worth .. I never think of you as a Genuine collector or a Rep. Collector but rather jus as.... V .. a Family Member and great copntributor to the RWG.. You have never, ever come across as Obtuse, condecending or plain Snobbish in any way, shape or form !!! So the saying is..... "Those that mind don't matter... and those that matter don't mind!" I hope the person who made those uncalled for remarks realizes that it was said out of emotions and not true facts ... opinions are like assholes... everybody got one.. Look at all the support !!! another example that this place is far from "just watches" Aloha~Cheers R

Monday ~ Tuesday ~

Yes.. I remember you were "one" of the first to post pics of the HK pilot some time ago.. more than a year ago if I remember correctly.. Theo... HK's reptile straps take longer .. but fo sure they are worth the wait.. can't wait to see your pics..

Jus email him... aarontanhk@hotmail.com he answers quickly .... his reptile straps take longer once they are in the mail .. I do not know how he manages it .. but (knock on wood) his gators to me have never had a problem with Customs... so ... "if it ain't broke ... don' fix it" ... he has his own way of getting it through..

Bumpers ...

one night at the club.....

Changing my weekend choice.. my HK Tan distressed buffalo strap arrived.. so it will be my BP.. for the rest of the weekend..

Aaron comes through in record time I love the distressed OEM colour buffalo !!! it really makes the BP sing.. IMO anyway.. Please excuse the rush in pics (as is evident with the dust and DW).. but I had no time to set up lights etc. and had a small window for the natural lighting.. Aaron built this with OEM specs for the deployment and lugs.. so needless to say the Rep is spot on as far as measurements, since I didn't give Aaron any measurements, for the lugs and deployment clasp.. I did however work out with Aaron the legnth since the OEM legnth was a bit to long for my wrist.. so if your wrist size is 7 to 7.5" ask Aaron for the same legnth as he made for Randy..I had used the straps for the 3717 previously so this was adjusted per the case size and my wrist size.. Lower right is the other OEM specs strap.. regular buffalo.. Thanks for viewing Aloha~Cheers Lani

All the Best Mr. American LR !! what we al take for granted ....you have jus reinforced the priveleges we all have !!

Saturday.... another 3717 - Chief AR ~ HK black gator

many members have not been present lately .. could be for a variety of reasons.. from family to work.,. might be a good idea to email all relevant members.. for info purposes .. betcha.. members would like to get involved .. they are jus not aware we are running a raffle...

The only ones I rotate on dialy wear now are the vintage Rolex's that has been to Ziggy ... but I like to take the others out and wear them on occasion.. so I guess I would say a little of both.. I jus love to look at the ones I don't wear from time to time.. Yes.. I have a problem
