Here's another you may like.. the "Venzo" textured from Heroic18 .... I have Mario Paci Pav that this resembles.. but this one is less than half the price..... it would look really good on a 111 or 104 me thinks it looks just like my MP PAV .. this looks better in person.. AC/Lani

. . .

Joking aside.. the chopped log as a prop was really nice.. It adds to the Holiday season.. I could hear the Christmas music in my head.. Pineapples roasting on an open imu....

. . I thought that would motivate ya... . . . it's a dick thang

"We" make this place what it is.. all of us.. I also have some straps that Omni donated to the forum.. and I'm sure I can dig up a lot of other goodies.. let's make this one a big BASH to end 2009 and welcome in 2010 this one will be BIG with many prizes for all..

Love the FM's Samu.. the concentric lines are beautiful !!!!

Looks great J I can almost smell the freshly chopped log.... now we wait for my GMTIIC crystal to return from chief.. so I can remove the AR except from under the mag once it is reattached.. fingers crossed.. congrats again.. maybe you can win the digital camera in our upcoming raffle... AC/Lani

No worries.. let me know if there is a particular watch you would like for size comparison.. the Omega railmaster is a must get though....imo.. weather your wrist is 6.5 or 7.5 or larger.. it is a great rep. my Explorer is on a trip to swap dials and crystal .. I can't wait to get it back.. AC/Lani

Got mine from a member here.. he bought it from (I cannot remember the members name that has these).. very affordable.. working tourbi with PR.. it is a no brand.. but I love it.. not a rep. ... all I need is a nice gen gator strap.. the dial is beautiful..imo.. he had them in ss and rose gold plate.. I like the ss for a number of reasons.. someone will remember the name of the member .. he is in UK I believe..i was going to order one.. but this came up for sale for less than half the price..it is the Chinese flying toubi.. fun to view the dial.. AC Lani

thank you !!.. hope the review helped out.. yeah.,. the back is tighter than a...never mind.. "Tension" not force....like loosening a frozen bolt.. tensionnnnnnn You guy's gotta order the tools ya need from Watchbitz.. so affordable and nice to have the proper tools..

Here's some different sizes for comparison one of the perfect sizes for slimmer wrist 36mm.. mine is 7 to 7.5" depending the Rolex Explorer.. no date window though My wrist is not large I get by .. the IWC CD .. different sizes.. another pic of the Explorer The other end of the spectrum 47mm fiddy (127) A must get and perfect for you 36mm .. super rep category.. Omega Railmaster.. the best reptilian rep strap too the IWC Pilots are a nice size not too big and bulky Another super rep.. and a nice size for a chrono .. Omega Speedy's The vinatage military rolex line is a good size for you too. Just for comparison. the HBB Black Magic.. bigger but you could pull it off if you are self concious about the size.. you may change your mind.. but as a good friend here say's to me..."it looks like a dinner plate on my wrist" I chuckle every time I think of him saying that. sorry for the over kill .. but once I get started.. hard to stop.. Soooo many watches ... and only 2 wrists.. gotta remember to take off at least one when I go out in public.. Hope that helps...... don't be too worried about what others think.. I personally like seeing oversized watches on others.. looks cool.. AC/Lani

Welcome..there are many watches that you would feel comfortable with.. let me take a minute to take some pics of various sizes for your comparison.. AC/Lani

I use a rubber ball opener.. you can use ductape.. rolled into a ball, the tension an not the "force" of movement is key..

+1 The genuine.. the font is not completely snow white DSN's the font is not completely white.. the biggest difference is the shape of the crystal only if you know exactly what your looking for .. the distortion of the crystal is different on the rep the rep crystal is a fraction of a mm lower(domed) the variables.. are the age of the gen.. and lighting.. angle.. but DSN's is close.. if your lume is not as the genuine, Ziggy can make it look OEM as he has done with so many 127's AC/Lani

Good one R.. common gang.. keep em coming.. we are looking for "parts".. we have dealers and watches here.. we need parts for upgrading..straps etc.. share your knowledge.. .. everything " taste" better when ya share..

If Sead is in the US.. we need to help Den find a friend in the UK to relay the rep. to Germany.. or an option where it will be safe.

We can use what ever to show the membership that the raffles are on the up and up.. with single raffle winners.. I have no doubt of the software honesty ..but this may be an option for a multiple drawing..

I keep forgetting Tony and Watcheden are one in the same.. good guy Tony... I bought from him long ago on the CQ

having not dealt with these dealers, obviously I cannot comment.. gotta be members out there that have.........lottsa views I think what denz is after is not who is "better" but who would fit his needs .. being in EU and customs being an issue.. these dealers are best suited for his needs.. and instead of sending the watch out for modding,.. which of these 2 choices would be best outta the box or if one were to do some mods before shipping it out.. which one would fit his needs of a really good 111H? I'm assuming both are good.. but has anyone gotten a 111h from Snead where the lume was the best, CG already fixed.. High Cannon pin.. etc..or are the equal in what we deem .. modded outta the box without added modding needed ??? help the brotha out please.. AC/Lani

I've had Eta2836 adn Valjoux 7750's as well s Asian 7750's that are 28.8k.. the Eta's that are sold by the dealers come from surplus stock.. we don't know how old they are .. nor if they have been serviced properly. I've gotten new reps that are 28.8k and seem a little jerky.. they are in need of "proper" servicing.. so I send them to Ziggy regardless if they are Eta or Asian 7750.. the end result is; they are as smooth as glass in their sweeping motion, even my gen Rolex after 4 to 5 years will be in need of servicing.. and by proper service, I am referring to the movement being disassembled cleaned in the ultra sonic, properly oiled and re-assembled... timed etc. all the eta engines unless they come in the oxygen sealed packet and are are directly from the Eta factory .... there is no telling what the "history" is behind them or if they have ever been properly serviced.. that is just my thinking of the eta's.. and Asian clones in general AC/Lani

With all the talk of free or not..I thought I would put this topic to rest.. and run a Raffle, so it will be open to ALL members.. so this is a way you can give back to this community and help RWG be here for ALL.. Since we are first and foremost a site where you can come and be safe.. well.. kinda.. unless you choose to troll... this will be a Multiple prize raffle with a little extra thrown in.. Pre-owned Cannon digital camera.. 2 Omega reps.. donated by Chris/Eurotimez and possibly another rep by yours truly that has never been worn or wound for that matter... I'll havta look see what I have left The Cannon digital camera along with the other prizes will be shipped anywhere.. but no replacement will be claimed if lost in the mail.. ***knock on wood,although it has not happened... we are not equipped to handle that issue*** I will post pics of the Camera.. It is mine, and was used briefly until I was lured to the Nikon .. so it has not been "worn" alot .. but is not brand new..I'll throw in the case also. So for anyone that wants to take watch pics but does not have a camera.. now is the time to score one.. This will be a "for donation" ticket raffle .. we are in need of winter usage rent..RWG is "lights on" 24/7~365 days a year.. the selection of winners will have to be sorted out as our software does not accommodate multiple winners.. been there tried that... suggestions will be welcomed..constructive ones PLEASE I will post pics and details this week.. thank you ALL AC/Lani

One word sums it up.... . . . . . Change...... nothing stay's the same . . most of us come from a generation where play was using your imagination.. . . . Now it takes a 200 usd PS for kids to entertain themselves
