Have you checked out the watch/dealers section.. and where are you located??

there is anew version of the PO 42mm due out soon for your FYI.. it will accept gen parts... you may want to think about that one..

AC/Lani

It is indeed, brother Do you think it seems longer? The year has absolutely flown past for me Thanks, it's been a great day so far, and we're going out in a while for a meal in a Mexican restaurant which is quite popular locally, but I've never been to, so I'm keen to see if it lives up to the reputation

I guess with all the happenings in 2009 it was a long year that flew by.. if that makes any sense..

regardless have a great day TJ

You can get the 2836-2 from Ofrei for 130 usd.. no telling if this one will need a servicing..

just ma .02

LANI! I think we've had 2 o 3 requests for you to show us a group shot of your babies in one place.. That picture would be priceless..( as well as all the watches in the picture)... Are you game or what?!

Just to answer your kind request Plai..

first I dont have a wide angle lens..

not bravado .. RobbieG called me requesting a group shot..

not ma thang

I have posted parts of my collection in 3 or 4 groups .. but gave up after 4

Maybe someday.. you'll have ta stay tuned ,.. maybe if I ever hit 20k post it will be apropos

Plai .. the cape cod works well on the brushed surface

it won't alter the brushed surface.. in fact it will only brighten it.. I use cape cod on all my brushed surfaces with great results.. and use a tooth brush to remove the residue in the cracks.

all my brushed bracelets get the cape cop treatment

My very first rep a Pam 217 lasted 5 years until it stopped.. in need of a service..it was the Russian movement..

but as a start.. I have most of my eta's and A7750's serviced from the get go and expect them to run (which they have) without issues.. without the proper servicing it's hit and miss really..

Serviced properly and they should be gtg for another 5 years..

like all watches rep or gen 5 years should be the norm "if" serviced properly.

Congrats TJ This is not your first anniversary is it??

seems like longer than one year

Regardless.. Have a great day with E!!!

Is the side www.wow-first.com a scam side with to high prices? Or just a dealer who speaks german and send watches from China? Any experiences with that side?

greets Mike

I wouldn't go with anybody off RWG site for watches.. not saying I haven't for parts.. but there are too many people copying

our dealers pics to trust anyone not listed here..

AC/Lani

Let me guess. This watch is #1021 in your personal collection right? or was it #1022... are there any good looking watches that you DON'T have??

absolutely beautiful.. what kind of camera are you using lani? i need something that can capture images like yours! my canon point and shoot was dropped to weeks ago by an [censored] stranger in a bar.. it means that I won't be uploading anymore pics at least until my birthday or until i can get my hands on a friends camera to take some shots.. I have 3 watches with Francisco and one on the way.. when they all arrive i'mg gonna be so angry i don't have my camera!!!!

Nice watch Lani. ear it with pride and joy!

Camera is a Nikon .. I have 2 Macro lenses .. this pic was not a Macro shot.. Nikon is my choice.. love it.. manual adjustments work best for me with the lighting.. you can manipulate the light to do all sorts of things with the images.

I highly recommend the Nikon.. and the Bretiling /chrono..

Looking forward to pics of your 253

Thanks for the heads up.. looks like this would be of interest to the Admin team here.. so they can confirm with the other fora's Admin

Suggest you may want to get in touch with a co-Admin...

thanks again for the heads up..

Well it was a joke, my nick, like many, is a song title.

Actually, I thought it was a witty one at that..

Just Holla if you need an assist glip..

the support is plentiful .. welcome to the Obsession

Finger printing

Breitling's revival of their vintage Super Ocean heritage was a break from the seemingly endless same ole same ole dials that is their trademark..

Although the Rolex dials have stayed basically the same throughout the different generations of Subs .. Brietling ..imo hasn't captured the mystique of the Rolex brand..

A lot of the hype was, or is over the non chrono dial.. But given the size of the case, I prefer the chrono model..

the simplicity of the bezel, the racer strap.. the golden B,.. and the stick markers.. beautiful..

I think it's the size of the watch that has me leaning towards the chrono version...

anyway just a couple of shots.. simple for a simply awesome replication..

AC/Lani

You can change yr nick here eh?

Maybe I should consider the change... . I've recently been accosted on another site for the same nick I use here - seems people think, because i use "mastrmindalliance" i think I'm smarter than everyone else.

Maybe I should change it to "MensaBrains"?

ohhhh Pullleeeaase ..

it did give cause for a chuckle though

Dang Theo.. I thought someone copied your avatar on another thread...

so used to you as Pam1A .. ok .. change noted even though I'm not a Mensa braniac

Congrats H.. on your first Pam acquisition

Nice pics!!

Now... if you can learn

how to stop at 1 Pam.. Please teach me how..

AC/Lani

No this was in Cologne

I can see my watchbox on the bed, that's was really a nice day!

Ahh.. ma bad ..

I can easily see which one is yours..

Love this shot Lani. Almost looks like you shot it in b&w!

thank you..

it was shot in a porcelain sink with very low light .. the sun was down..

to get the blue lume true I had to wait until just the right time of day.. without manipulating the image this was the only way..

any pic without the perfect lighting.. your not going to see what the naked eye sees.. so for this lume I had to use the bathroom sink without any light coming through the window.. or any reflective colours interfering.

Could be the Frogman or the Heroic..we'll talk tomorrow.. ma bruder

Ok.. I'll start with one that I should definitely be wearing more

SOH Chrono the only unmodded rep I really like as is.

and this has to be in my top 3 if not #1

Ubifranken .. not just for the watch but the History and bond with the 80021 Zip code

Another catagory.. "one" of my fave Ziggy Lumes BR94-02

Ziggy just got the blue lume right after the recent gens were lumed blue.

And of course ma fave Pam at the moment..

FGD dial and Ziggy lume and OEM PVD on V straps

My 1655 .. took over a year to source all the parts for this one..

I treasure it

Just completed Mag AR project GMTIIC

the mag looks out of alignment only due to the angle of the pic.

Ok .. I really can go on... I am not finished with my faves.. ..because I value and treasure them all..

Ziggy .. Ubi.. Kruzer have played such a big role in my reps being what they are.. everyone here actually..

Ziggy takes reps into another dimension.. notice no genuine are posted in my daily wear.. except for my Doxa .. oops which reminds me...

Doxa 300NT.. the only gen I'll post

Thanks R.. for the thread .. top 5 .. kidding me..??? .. how bout top 50 maybe not enough

AC/Lani

This will take some time.. I have a lot of different choices for different brands

I think I'm going to break your parameters for fave count R

What about a group shot Lani? One pic?

still don't have a Family photo of my collection..

but remember awhile ago the GTG in .. was it Brussels?.. and this pic was posted of the event... just a tease from every ones collection.. and I believe Takashi was in the bathroom doing lume jobs.. (that sound Freudian) Imagine if hotel security was called up to this room..
