Hi There Oliver from the West Midlands...

I'm a noob so cant advise on the best rep

Hi All

Is there anyone out there that lives in or near De Pere Wisconsin, bit of a long shot I know and probably a wild goose chase but with someone's help it would be nce to know. If you are in the area and would like to know more please post here or PM me.

Thanks for looking

SJ

Hi All...again thanks for the advice and input. I will provide a full update soon but I am now trying to find a member near De Pere Wisconsin.

I am going to post a request in the general section...

Again thanks for the replies...

As you can probably see from the latest pic attached there is definately something going on. This was a result of me asking the seller to send me a picture with a tag to demonstrate they were pics of the actual watch...(more paintshop experience needed me feels).

What is now intriging me is what does he have for sale given I have said I would pay through Paypal...any thoughts.

This is a good experience for me, being a totally noob collecter. Thanks to Mickey Padge my first purchase has left a very sweet taste and this interaction is learning me the other side of it all.

BTW we have agreed a price of $330

Well I can't help with the bits you require but thank your dad for his help in my post

Thanks for the comments ....

We have not agreed on a final price but we are in the region of $400!!!

I have asked for a pic of the card and/or the serial number. The seller claims they are actula pictures of the watch so I will keep you informed

Thanks again

SJ

Hi All

I am considering buyng this watch and was wondering if anyone would care to comment as t the seller claims it is authentic. But the asking price does not match the values I can find on the internet.

All help welcome

There are some additional measures necessary before you can swim with this watch. I will post some technical pics and 'how-to' to make sure it is waterproof this week-end.

In a nutshell:

Remove case back

Remove the crown/ stem

Uncase the movement

Glue/ putty the HEV hole

Case the movement

Grease the two crown seals

Insert the crown/ stem

Grease the case back seal

Put the case back back on

Use a case back tool to thighten the case back

Result? It tested to the max on my tester (6 ATM ) . So IMO you can even dive with it!

Thanks for that reply Rolxman...even I can follow that one. I will let you know the results

Mine was shipped on the 3/5...still waiting...exciting isn't it

Can anyone tell me if this model is waterproof. By this I mean can I swim in the sea in this watch?

Thanks in advance

Well thanks for the points of view and the interesting perceptions on motivation ...

It's not so much about lieing but, unless I am mistaken it is essentially illegal (UK) and when considered from that point of view I would probably just tend to avoid answering the question.

With regard to creating an impression, I suppose an element of the desire to have these time pieces is to feel good about wearing it/them. Not sure if that means I would be trying to impress others or not, it certainly is not a concious thing.

It is really intersting that the common view seems to be no one asks, I have up to now just assumed that people notice these things. I will just have to see I suppose.

Well done Henrik and very well done Wheaton...Nice touch

Hi All

This may have all been discussed before or may even be too emotive, but here goes...

Being pretty new to all of this game and to be honest being amazed by the quality of the products (only ever experienced a dodgy looking piece in Rome before), I am now wondering how I am going amswer the inevitable questions about my new SOSF and PO when I wear them in public. I don't feel I could deceive my friends if they ask but at the same time I think they will think they are real.

How have you all approached this or am I being too sensitive

Hi there.

Well this would certainly be a nice introduction. Please include me.

Sorry Mr Hyde...I am making an assumption with FF and if I'm right he will know what I mean, bit silly really

Welcome to RWG and the world of reps (from a fellow Brit) !!

Hope you've got deep pockets !!!

Thanks to all for saying Hi... not only a fellow Brit Fireman_Fred, I am also very familiar with TB 1/94 ???

Hi All

I have stumbled on this site. I am new to the scene but am looking to build a collection of watches over the next month to forfill my mid life crisis
