Starting off the Week with This.. Chopard GTXL LE

I was sent this by a friend.. and to tell you the truth it brought back memories.. it was actually not funny but real.. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/533601/carlo...tandup_schools/

I have had many of the A7750 fully serviced by Ziggy and after servicing the A7750 runs spot on .. Ziggy said once that +20 was the best he has done.. well he has perfected the servicing of this movement then.. my BCE graphite and 06 CD .. have not had to be reset in weeks.. actually over 2 months now.. and the rotor ... i can no longer hear or feel it.. with this model i think i can swap out the engraved rotor with my ceramic model with display back ... why are certain collectors targeted for what would appear "negative marketing" on a consistent basis ?? .. i'm sure all collectors have reps that are not up to high quality standards .. my approach is rather simplistic.. if i don't like something .. i don't buy it... if I have a question about a certain item .. I go directly to the source for the answer .. conjecture and heresay would seem like guess work.. just my 2 cents.. gotta remember that when I'm driving..

Negative ... I ordered from both .. had issues (not personal).. with both parcels.. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt for their "apprentice" status .. hope they work out the glitches... i'm sure they will..

thank you TMG.. crappy settings on the pic.. but i ordered a Bond Nato strap .. figured the blue tones to match the dial on this tudor... i like the geometric lines in the bezel that in some small way resembles your TMG signature Tudor Montecarlo (the geometric lines in the windows).. that is definately one of a kind..on the board..

I think this collector is geared more toward the EU market.. which is a good thing.. members in EU need a Collector who can cater to their customs issues and logistics in getting their merchandise in a timely manner.. it took 2 weeks to get my order out.. nd this was after difficulties with the payment... I was told that my payment was rejected 3 times... when in reality it was the collectors processing that was the problem.. then I was told the watch would be sent out.. after numerous emails which were not answered.. my watch was shipped out about a week after the said date..and looking at the quality of the product I would say it is high for the US Dollar but very good for the Euro.. I would say this collector is still in the process of learning what to do and what not to do.. like any business I'm sure he will work it out.. but it should not be your responsibility to have to wait a good part of a month for money that is yours to begin with ... maybe check with him again.. as I have found what he say's and does are two different things.. not wit a negative or deceitful intent... maybe try reasoning with him that you are not a entity that can have money tied up for a month.. Good Luck

wow.. that strap really brings out the wath.. thanks for the pics and write up Live stong and wear it well

what ever you do do not use fed ex.. airmail registered.. file as costume accesory gift.. 10 usd.. of course you cannot insure it.. even if you did you would have to show proof of purchase.. it should be all good i had a rolex nabbed by costums (US), from Thailand.. it was just claimed as "gift".. customs in US said the paperwork was not in order, for proper "duty"... so when the collector resent it..i asked him to claim "costume jewelry accesory"... customs opened the parcel .. and sent it through to me.. this was after opening it.. all our customs is concerned with is the "proper" paper work.. same if you send "to China".. not familiar with EU recieving though.. hope that helps..

thank you for the info.. it looks like I have all the correct case backs then.. ... I was sent an extra case set for my white dial as the maker released the initial version with single AR so I was notified by my collector the next day of the error and sent another case set.. thanks again.T

Now I don't know which is which.. the case back on the left marked genuine.. is the same case back I have on my laureus white dial rep .. I've never seen the case back on the right.. I aquired my laureus upon initial release from my collector... unless different collectors used various case backs ? If the case back marked genuine is the real deal then that's what I have.. can we clarify this please.. And ...on point... I recall stating.... (when I posted pics a few months ago) that the minute hand is longer by about 1mm .. what I implyed by "you" can take it down.. is you can decide if you would want to get it modded.. as I would not want anyone to think that I could attempt to do whaat Ziggy does.. Just wanted to clear that up a bit..

Well,.. LR... until recently we depended on the passing ships for any news of the outside world .. actually It's you peeps that are far away .. is that a double negative ... and a ZING for you man..!!!

thank you .. thank you .. thank you.. for the last several weeks i had been getting error messages while on the board.. and my screen kept freezing.. just here.. it seems that that has been "fixed" .. much smoother now..faster.. thanks Admin..

My Breitling Alligator from Aaron came in ,,(for the white dial) i'll post pics .. if I recall twas you that pointed out the deficiency in wearing the white dial with the bracelet..

we have a saying here to Nar.. especially when someone tries to humble themselves... "AINOKEA" .. and I "don't" feel a need to explain anything... some members are just having some harmless fun... some are too rigid to accept this.. oh well... some are just crusty i guess.. what do you fear that you have to judge others so much..

I'm going to have to come back to this again and again.. thank you for the time and work TT.. I definately think the chief t.. AR is what the rep needs... Awesome.. thank you again..

no worries..actually there is more of a burden having a little more muscle than average.. some are alway's looking to prove themselves.. so I choose to wear baggy clothes and "cover up" I don't wear tank tops... I try to avoid loud mouths and people with no grey matter.. because in reality .... one needs to humble himself when around others that don't understand... especially with men around women .. some feel that acting tuff turns them on.. sheesh.. the biggest men "i" know are very humble and quiet.. they have nothing to "prove" .. it is alway's the insecure.. scared of what others may think men that give the most problems.. so I avoid them.. i actually don't have any skin tight shirts.. i guess on this board i was just funning.. I really didn't mean to come off as a show off.. with that said.. it was all in fun as I never flex anywhere in public.. I've overcome a lot of issues with not backing down from people alway's having to prove themselves.. because I really have nothing to prove about my manhood.. so if I offended you Nar.. well .. it was not meant to be.. got any good pens lying around. . I'm partial to fountain pens myself.. if I can locate them i have a few antique fountains.. Peace L

ya got me .. at least your laughing today.. someday it will get a chief coating.. that would make it for me..

that's what I said .. sorry man .. need sleep... thanks for your discretion d..

Pam 029 for Thursday .. Ziggy style ....kruzer OEM crown, chieftang Cyclops, lello DW

Well.. to satisfy any Napoleonic complexes our there... I'd rather walk away from fights... and I don't really need to discuss them ... for one there is no "honour" in a street fight... and there are no "rules" in street fighting... there is alway's someone bigger stronger and more willing to prove themselves..so the Golden Rule is ... alway's be ready.. and there is no such thing as a "fair" fight .. what are you going to do if some pulls a knife .. cry foul ?.. so you better have a faster blade...but if you do need to "defend" yourself then make it count... I do not "pick' fights...I do not bully ... Nar ... you must know a lot of "back door" exits by heart .. ... people put down others that work their butts off in the gym because they "wish" they could put as much effort into their body's instead they choose to put these athletes down .. as muscle heads ... bottom line... if you weren't fearful "not physically" then there would be no need to joust with "WORDS" .. because actions alway's speak volumes louder than banter.. as far as leaving ... (did you say men )?? on gurney's you cannot count .. laughing themselves to a stupor as getting the better of them.. Your first reaction in seeing an arm is defensive... my thought is acknowledgement of the "hard work" and 'dedication" that goes into accomplishing ones goals.. and then setting a higher goal... never being satisfied... so there is no need to get into the false hormonal.... my arm can beat up your arm mentality.... because .... been in enough to know that it is never as glamorous as you want it to sound.. actually pretty messy .. you may faint at the sight of some of it... Peace........ Nar whale but on point.... the Graham is unique ... more for the outdoors events..imo... be real.. this is not a piece you wear to the office..

You have only begun..rb .... congrats on your aquisitions.. i'm sure there will be many more Live Strong and wear it Well.. lani
