... We're all are working on it in our own way.. One Day at a time .... one expression at a time is all the universe can ask for.. have a good weekend CBR now about you 1680....

carlsbadrolex Posted Today, 03:37 PM Just trying to work on my Karma, so these parts are free..... Pm me if you need them for yourself, not for resale! OMG "one in a row" A simple act of kindness goes a long way bra............. you are restoring my faith in mankind CBR ... well I won't get carried away... but it' s start Peace Lani

Conversely .. the logo is so tiny to spot the flaw with the naked eye .. well as the saying goes... if you can see it your too damn close

Tag Aquaracer Tag on Friday...

can someone or members second the motion .. or request for the mods to put this puppy to sleep ??? we need a second to the motion and 2/3 majority.. 2 people will do...pplllleeeassseee

If Roberts Rules apply in small measure .. i would like to motion to put this thread to rest and say , "Good night Gracie" ... unless there is a point to beating a dead horse.....

check with Lello as he still may have some Ingy DW left from his last run... the new ingy has the "correct" DW and the new version also comes with double ar... but Lello's DW the font is much "Crisper and centered" actually the DW from lello is the only mod on the current version you will need.

I do not look at the events that have transpired over the last 2 day's as a "win-win" situation .... TTk did what he did... RWG's Admin Team Did What Was right and Warranted TTK has his supporters.... RWG's Admin Team Is Here To Support the Forum We, the Members are here to Support RWG So me thinks it's time to ........ "IMUA RWG" > MOVE FORWARD RWG .. INTO THE FUTURE.. time to cleanse AND LOOK AHEAD and NOT BACK Maluhia O KA I The Peace of "I".. not the Worlds Peace for that I cannot give.. just My Peace... "The Peace of I" Just for Today... forget our differences with one another and cleanse... just for today..

I checked with my collector for the proper logo .... seems the maker of the UPO first time around messed up on the genuine watch he was given... that may be the reason the logo have those happy feet onso many reps..

if you take it to a jeweler that plates.. said jeweler could "satin" finish it for you and replate it, if needed.. they call it "satin" finish..that's the term the jeweler will use in most cases usually the jewelers that do repair work .. the smaller owner-operator stores have the ability to do this..

My SUB MBW Double Red

get your point Hike... a lot can be tollerated even on the internet .. but physical or any other type of harmful threats should not be..and that's where I feel the "LINE" was drawn .. good lesson.. some things you cannot take back

Your desire to Humbly stand by the team speaks volumes Double T chieftang Posted Today, 02:29 PM Well reasoned concerted decisiveness. This is what makes RWG's the greatest admin team around. Agree.... I certainly wish the company I am contracted with would be as firm and FAIR.. Definately not an easy call.. but for the good of all.. thankyou from one member..

@lodoubts.... this bezel insert may take some work as it is too thick for the replicated bezel.. you will need to sand down the underside quite a bit to get it flush with the bezel and the replicated bezel is a fraction of a mm bigger than the genuine ... so the bezel insert will not be flush with the edges of the bezel ... you may want to check with your collector to see if he/she can source the insert and the pearl.. the pearl on the replicated insert is not attached to the insert.. although IMHO the black insert on the rep is good enough.. it's the orange that is not spot on IMO... (edit add) the pearl on the rep will also need relume to match the dial and hands... the pearl from the insert you got on ebay is much better.. it's a matter of getting the one on the rep out without damaging the insert I tried sanding down the orange insert.. and did get it flush ... but i was not happy with the tiny space because the insert is not as big as the replicated insert. for the orange I decide to get the genuine bezel.. for the black I just stayed with the rep.. @mat2302 you can send the entire watch to k2222 for AR.. the genuine crystal is about 169 usd ... the only thing not factored in is the quality of the crystal on the rep.. but with a double AR my guess is it will be fine the crown and tube (genuine) is a "must" as the rep may eventually give out.. but the genuine tube needs to be modded ... (glued in place) but the genuine tube and crown are much better for longevity .. If you cannot get the hands relumed then you best get the genuine.. they are not to expensive.. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=65876..... link to modded UPO... @mentalist... were you looking for a UPO dial ?? how did you make out with Silix.. i may have one 4 U....

Good luck to you T.. God's speed and ... I hope it works out for you..

Sorry T.. not buying it.. how much I drank is not important.. just know that one was too many and a thousand never enough wow, no drink since last night .. ok the alcoholic/addict behavior is as soon as everything seems all good and the heat is off ..... evrythings OK.. oh well Insanity is defined as.... "doing the same thing expecting different results..." unless you do what needs to be done .. well this desease is patient .. i will give it that.. but God willing I'll be around if you need.. until then take care Lani

that's all very nice T.... now pick up the phone and do what seems like the hardest thing in the world.. but really very easy and simple ... and if you mean all of this above then pick up the phone.. let me know when you did... and I will be more than happy to read this.. .. until then all I will say ... with Love is.... MAKE THE CALL

I see your point Viki this disease does not make any distinction toward profession or race I have cleaned up with many people that i still keep in contact with today.. they are Doctors,.. Attorney's.. Judges.. yup them too, Stockbrokers... and yes even Clergy .. there are programs for all .... nurses.. and regular folks too.. this illness does not care what you do or who you "are"... there were even hollywood stars.. don't matter.. We are not talking about a "moral deficiency" i am talking about a progressive illness .. and i am talking from experience.... To go to any measures to clean up may mean walking away from things for a while.. watches, family whatever because without getting clean and sober your not going to have anything .. one special friend that I will alway's think of as a brother .. he was a medical student at the time.. top 10 percentile nationwide... I told him to be honest with everything .. this program is a program of "Rigorous Honesty" .. you see, honesty is like being pregnant.. either you are or you aren't.. To go to the dean of his medical school and tell them he needed help, and the reason why.. he thought that it would get him expelled.. long story short he went and talked to the powers that be and was supported 100%.. he graduated and is now one of the leading Physicians at one of the Hospitals here.. got married to the girl that is also a Doctor now and was going to leave him, and has 3 wonderful children.. he was depressed and taking a lot of prescription meds along with everything else.... we hung together for one year backing each other .. would not let either fall.. we were really hard on each other... I myself walked away from a 6 figure job because they said it was mandatory for me to attend the parties and wine tastings.. but my sobriety was more important.. it was a no brainer for me.. that's how much I wanted it.. and that is how serious I am about this issue.. too many funerals Vic .. to many.. The watches can wait.. it is not that important to put ahead of this.. and if you are concerned about The medical board.. I would be more concerned if I didn't get myself help and come clean with it.. rehab has very good protective rights.. and especially for the medical field as drug and alcohol abuse is rampant.. Problems are apart of life.. everyone has stress.. but you deal with it on "lifes terms" .. not "by self will".. the story will have a Happy ending if the footwork is done.. and that is reality All the top proffesionals were told just to follow direction .. and to get them out of self will... they were put into service.. stacking chairs.. making coffee.. being told to do mundane things.. why?? to learn to follow direction.. because their "best thinking" got them where they are now.. The practicing alcoholic addict is a genius.. he/she knows how to manipulate and make everything seem like it's all good and they have it all together Again this is NOT a "moral deficiency" so no one is a "Bad Person" just an ill person who needs to get better If you are allergic to strawberries would you stand in a strawberry patch.. well, this is what the using addict is doing... TWP I am sure has a good heart and is a very good person.. but don't confuse empathy with "enabling" I am not a Doctor nor legal counsel ..nor any profession in between .. I am an Alocholic/addict who has recovered from a seemingly "hopeless" state of mind and body...and only one alcoholic /addict can help another.. that is just the way it is.. normal people cannot understand... and that's why it would seem to you as Bullying.. but be assured Vic. it is not.. and I say this with a lot of love toward my fellow Alcoholic/addict Aloha~ Lani

TWP.. I responded to your message.. I am posting this because .."practicing alcoholics and addicts" are the most manipulative people.. you know what you need to do .... rehab ... pick up the phone .. to your nearest ** center .. ask for help .. no stories of family issues or explanations of the why's .... those stories are just seeking sympathy.. Sound like "tough love" .. you bet.. because I am not here to become your "best friend".. I am here because .. your life is worth saving.. and God does not make "Junk" check in with me again in a few hours.. no sad stories .. you just got to do the "FOOT WORK" ,.. i cannot do it for you ..you may think I'm being cold .. on the contrary .. I care about what happens to a fellow human being.. when you start looking within and not point the finger at all the others or the "problems" then you are on the road to recovery.... I am talking from EXPERIENCE in working with addicts and alcoholics .. and helping them to get sobriety.. I am not being mean.... if you can start doing this then your family will be whole again... and don't even think about manipulating me... i say this with Love man... because you will hear loud laughter... and I am posting this to keep you honest.. because there are a lot of people who care what happens.. and I already gave up my training session so you fuc*king know how serious I am to do that !!! Just for today.. pick up the phone make the call .. rehab ---- meeting.. do it man .. check in 3 hours.. i need to get home.. Aloha Lani

First of all this will not be a short post... I was due at the gym but as I am responsible to anyone that reaches out or asks for help.. i am bound by that responsibility to always be there...I am one member of a "program" that Say's, "when a person who is suffering reaches out let me always be there for them...." It is not about "personalities" but about "principles" As some of you may have read I have been "clean and sober" going on 17 years now.. and in that time many friends have died, Od'd or been shot .. last week I layed another very good friend to rest .. he could no longer handle life and left behind a 3 year old son, a mother and father and many people who loved him like brother, it was very, very draining .. so understand I do not have any sympathy for those who claim to be suffering while using this as an excuse to cop out... I am not saying that this is you TWP .. but believe me I have been on many crisis calls and worked as a volunteer at a center for a long time and have heard it all.. the good and the bad.. the true and the false I was once clinically depressed that was due to a chemical imbalance.. alcohol is a depressant.. now, I have many friends who can drink get drunk no problem .. i gift nice bottles of various spirits,... so understand that I am not on any crusade to stop anyone from drinking.. but if you suffer from the disease of alcoholism .. and the "ISM' stands for ..I, self and me.... then there are measures you can take..only if "you" want to .. not for anyone else, you have to do it for you first .. not ANYONE ELSE... only then will it work .. because you will be working it.. there are no excuses .. life is life .. either we deal with it without anestisizing ourselves.. or create more problems on top of problems.. there is a easier softer way out.. but you have to want it... The program that helped save my life shall remain anonymous,.. as one of the "traditions" is that it shall never ever be brought into public controversy.. by name.. because if I go out and get wasted and do something stupid .. then people can say .. "see it doesnt work".. this is why I never mention it by name..I only speak for myself .. as I am not a spokesperson for any organization.. I kind of keep this "principle" with everything I do.. If you feel you have had enough and are sick and tired of being... sick and tired then you may be ready.. but if you are doing this just to get your family or job or whatever back.. it may not work... but then again they say "fake it till you make it".. the point being you have to be "ready" to accept the program.. the spiritual side because "self will" is what got you here in the first place.. if you feel "you" can handle it... well think again.. your "BEST THINKING" got you here in the first place.. you are not to "blame" but you are now responsible for the choices you are about to make.. I have heard and recited all the excuses myself...no one understands me...... if only they would get off my case..... i can handle this, i just need to sort things out.... yeah.. right.. if these sound familiar they are... when I was in rehab .. I asked the doctors .. and counselors ... "how could you know anything".. one of the counselors pulled up his sleeve.. and the track mark scars were faintly evident... you see they were all recovered addicts and alcoholics... they lived through it all themselves.. in the morning they asked me how I was doing.. and I said "great" cause I was happy to finally do something about my addiction.. they said.... "well if your doing so great what are you doing here"..... shoot that brought me back to reality.. And the reality is help is there but this is not kindergarten.... you have to make it work.. you have to want this more than anything in the world.... anything ..... and everything How much you drink is not important.. that is just what's on the surface .. just a "symptom of something deeper" you need some clean time to clear the stinkin thinking from your head.... after a few years clean and sober i volunteered with a organization that helps families with terminally ill children... you think you have problems ? these kids "taught me" the meaning of love and understanding.. they were grateful for everyday they had.. that truly got me out of "self".. try it sometime.. because the whole exercise is to get out of "self" ... self pity .. self loathing... As I have said, I put another very good friend to rest .. so I have no words of sympathy or stars to give out right now.. in fact I am a little angry at God for allowing this to happen .. but in His infinite wisdom there is a reason for all things.. In actuality TWP I am "calling you out" ... if you are serious about getting help then it's time to do something about it... i am always available to listen and my hand is reaching out... but you have to want it... if I sound cold and hard core .. it is because we are dealing with "Life and Death" this is not some patronizing post I am putting up.. and I have said more about me than my employees... or company i am involved with will ever know... I do not say what I say for sympathy or praise, sympathy is for the dead... and praise,.. as I tell the company,.."keep the praise, I'll take the money"... because if what I share will somehow save one life or help someone relate to what i went through.. then I would do it everyday..I don't want watches or service or anything from you .. (and your not going to get anything from me.. I already got a collector).. that is a joke by the way.. but you are not going to see any smiley faces on this post.. because I am dead serious... continue what you are doing and you will end up insane or dead.. not many options.. there is a joke ... a member was sharing at a meeting and confessed to fuc**ing a duck.. he thought he would die from embarrassment...then someone in the back of the room called out.."did yours die too?".. moral is you cannot tell me or anyone who has been through hell and back anything that we haven't heard before.... One day at a time........ one hour at a time... sometimes one minute at a time..... that is how you approach life...... and until you can learn to deal with "life on life's terms" you need to keep coming back for more lessons.... because basically that's what I am trying to learn.. to deal with life on life's terms .. not my terms... contact me if you really are serious about getting help.... I am available for this 24/7 ... I can only keep what I have by giving it away.. unconditionally First step is always the hardest man.. but taking it will be the easiest thing you ever do... Aloha~ Lani

Just to put up on the board that .... what anton is doing is way COOL.. lately I have been reading post by members 1 to 3 day's new asking for help in all areas.. introductions would be nice even though this is the internet and they can exit without worry anytime.. proper etiquete would not hurt.. just my 2 cents .. and with the gas prices nearling $4.00 not even that..

the font on the date is spot on .. as is the rest of the dial Joshua @perfect clones

it has the A7750 .. the rotor needs to be engraved though and superluminova for relume.. although the lume out of the box is great.. still a trip to Ziggy would do magic for the movmt. and the lume Sorry .. forgot to say .. thank you

Genuine Replication another pic of the genuine.. pretty much spot on .. the only thing that would need adressing is the Lume which in the genuine is Superluminova.. the lume out of the box on this rep is very good though.. and of course the rotor could be engraved for more accuracy

that's the one that alway's say's .."you have one hour" when it's time for bed ????
