These are the times that children will remember for the rest of their lives. The cookies and milk left out for Santa ..waking up sooo early .. the wait for Christmas day was soooo long.. The Candle light services..the Day you sit on Santa' lap at the mall, hoping that your Christmas wish will come true. that feeling that only comes once a year.. . . and then your reach the age where Santa is just a thought.. . . and you have kids of your own. the joy of seeing their faces in the morning.. . . that 'Spirit' of the holiday season that comes with family.. friends and giving.. . . It is truly 'magic' and a time to reflect and be grateful.... the Nativity.. and all that the Holiday Season brings.. . . Christmas is a time for the Children be in awe of the Christmas Spirit....cause Santa is on his way............ have a Blessed Christmas .. One and All

Supa R.. I still have to file down and smooth out the edges of the bracelet.. man they are wicked .. As you state .. I hope these new breed of makers improve their "mind set" from rep to .. watches.. I think the new makers being groomed need to change their line of thought before we see the reps that were released in the past, before the economy went South.. although it does appear that they used some surplus parts to build this "economy" version.. thanks for the great pics.. as always R AC L

no worries Pete..just from experience.. the invisible specs or areas that you cannot see, may be as small as a needle point..these will show up as nasty blemishes on a re-coated crystal. and the larger left over AR will look like gashes.. But for removing AR on DSN crystals for PreV models ..your tutorial is very nice.. thank you for that.. there is a definite protocol for removing AR before sending it to Chief though.. AC/L

It seems the burden of proof is on you,.. because the verification of my movement comes from someone far more knowledgeable than you or I, and it definitely did not come from Ofrei.. so laugh if you choose .. but you'll be doing it at your own expense.. which in and of itself is not a bad thing considering the source.. there's only one easy way to tell if yours is aluminum .. try oxidizing it..as none of the dealers Ti looks like the genuine anyway.. bottom line, you've come hear "trying" (and that is the buzz word in your statements) to discredit a proven commodity.. as I think the yeh's out weigh your "opinion" .. and since we are very happy with our dealers here.. it may be time to peddle your expertise on another topic Just read the comments on this thread.. and most importantly you have zero experience dealing and receiving any items for the dealer you question.. nuff said~ L

Amen to that..

Thanks for that Pete.. If you are going to send your crystal into Chief for AR and you need to remove the existing AR; it's best to use a dremel and jeweler's rouge or metal polish .. reason being, any residue of AR.. and it will be naked to the eye, it's not just the blue hue that comprises the AR coat.. will then appear as a scratch after Chiefs AR coat is applied.. IMO if your having it treated again, use a dremel.. AC/Lani

Mah .. he must be referring to the gen foras.. we always flick them off as .."da uda" place..non essential barbarians not as refined as us guy'z

Things are pretty hectic right now with family responsibilities and the winding down of business for the New Year.. I'm pretty sure Admin is just as busy with all the above.. but I'm confident he will get back to you as soon as humanly possible during this time of year.. I had that problem for the longest time.. and had to paste a link to my message box in my hotmail "drafts" ... Admin may have fixed it when I mentioned it.. but it was at the same time I switched to FF.. so .. dunno So it is not an isolated instance but not straight across the board either.. hang in their for a bit, you'll get the support soon I'm sure AC/L
