Any price restriction that you would like to stay within?

A HUGE congrats to you and your son, Bob!! That is a wonderful achievement! Milestones like this are memories that will be with you always. All the best... R

Awww... Gee, thanks gang! You know, you guys are like family to me

Ahhhh... Yes, Dr. Odets' infamous Explorer review. There have been many theories on Odets qualification (or lack thereof) in even taking such watches apart for reviews. It's been said that he takes watches apart, and then sends them in to be reassembled by the manufacturer of said watch. Whether there is any truth to that or not, I am not completely certain...

In my times and tenure on many different watch forums, I have found that the most knowledgable and scrutinizing eyes for detail were actually found ... Here. On the replica boards! But.... I have also found that the friendliest, and most generous of people are also here, and this is what really makes the rep boards a pleasure to visit. The genuine forums tend to be full of ego, snobbery and elitism. If I had a dime for every condescending email or message from M. Sandler, I'd have quite the sum on my hands. But, anyways.... I wanted to share a case of generosity that was bestowed upon me. Little, ol' ubi. A very generous soul, and genuinely great individual (you know who you are) presented me with my very, very first Rolex book/guide on Monday. This is my first ever printed reference for Rolex I've ever owned; up until now, everything has been in my head, or scribbled down in a composition note pad that I collect thoughts and notes in. The book... The Best of Times by Dowling and Hess. It's a fantastic read, great pics, and whatnot... But even more, the book is actually autographed by Dowling. Very neat! This shall remain a valued and cherished addition to my Rolex watch collection, and I am quite humbled by this kind gesture. Some of the most genuine individuals are here... There is no doubt about that. Cheers, R

Can we give this one a rest already?

Kos- Excellent choice- It's a beauty!

Admin.... Wish you would reconsider. Perhaps give it a few days before saying goodbye?

Change of plans for me on Thursday. I'm going Maradonna style... This on my left wrist: This on my right wrist:

Haha... Great to hear from you, you stubborn Dutch kid! Please post some pics of your new toys!

For grins, I put my 6239 dash bezel on my DW 6263, as it was the only SS bezel I have on hand at the moment (Warr wanted to see this combo, I believe), and I also thought it would match my 16520 a bit better The result... I kinda like it, even if it's not correct, per se. It's a completely different look than what I'm used to seeing, and it's shed a new light/perspective on this one... See what I mean about the bezel matching the 16520's? The 'UNITS PER HOUR' at 1:00 is a nice touch in my opinion... Wrist shot... It's former appearance... Thanks for looking!

Mmmmm... Daytona fetish...

Some additional help...

Who has the best LV Sub? Toni does!! Excellent work, my friend!

Indeed... Looks kinda like a spiral stair case. Interesting...

Perhaps a genuine bezel can be fit... If an adaptor can be machined to accept the bezel assembly and then fitted to the rep case. Hmmmmmmm.... Some food for thought

5 minutes a day? I don't think regulation is going to fix that... There's most likely something else going on with the movement... Regulation is only going to adjust for seconds, not minutes

Is that really the right thing to do, Admin? Seriously... Sleep on it. You may have a different perspective in the morning...

Happy birthday, and all the best!

Today- Tomorrow-

Okay... Just how slow is your movement running? There are some things that regulating simply can't fix by adjusting, because there are other problems elsewhere that need to be addressed...

Indeed, Oli. Don't have to worry about such things when working with genuine parts

No one here? Really?

Man, WTF is going on with people?! Andrew, I think you should at least name the handle. This type of action and behavior is inexcusable...

Man... Those are hot! I love the blued hands on the Cali dial!
