i'd say take it off. and if you can get that brev ital engraved on there it would be the business!

cool thread and it sounds like you gents had several good times. i'll hope to join in upon my next (well, first) trip to paris. p.s. i too thought ryy to be a bit younger

boy that was stupid of them pt barnum is laughing in his grave right now

to appreciate the style mainly. and also to have that off chance meeting with someone that knows something about it and blow them away. also, for those playing at home, that is not a vintage daytona pictured at the beginning of this thread it's very much a modern daytona.

a rolex has to be earned? ahem

the difference is that south park is witty, clever and entertaining - i see none of that here. next topic please.

kim jong il would have nothing of it!

are you going to leave the reg tm on the back of the cg, or are you gonna grind that off? looks very cool btw

OT, but @neil are you on skype at the moment? and for the record, i quite like what he brings to the fourm by means of personality, great pics and certanly top notch/unique pieces.

don't worry, you'll never meet an airking WIS anyways. buy that dial if that's the one you like. the people you meet in the real world do not know the difference between a SEL and a TRL

did you get them from brandsoftheworld?

cartier santos 100 tt

getting the fiddy or 187 for your first pam is like losing your virginity to porno star

nice pics of a great looking watch cheers

for 200, i'd say a nice panerai (111, 231, 005, 222 the list goes on and on) or a fa jones decorated. oh that or the santos 100 which is really cool. or get one like pug's breguet. i think the vc overseas would also do you well. or all of the above

generally between 280 and 3 bills from what i remember

if a watch beat's off, will it go blind?

@zetter it's the o in rolex that gives it away, no?

bill, interesting postings, but one thing does not jive with me is the idea that the group buy dealer does not care what happens with the watch. knowing the over-zealous watch nuts that many of us are, i'd imagine that our guys do care what happens with the watches they send out regardless if the sale arises from a group buy or not. if something goes wrong, people will flip out and go crazy whether it's a one-on-one situation or from a group buy. so, in order to protect the good reputations that have been built, i'd say that they will want to make sure that things go as smoothly as possible. further, since many utilize drop-shipping, i'd venture to say that those that do the packaging and moving of the watches have no idea about the circumstances of the sale at all. to think that johnny factory worker says "oh, i better be careful with this one, it's for bill" to himself before sending the watch out or sneaking it through customs is a bit unrealistic. i know that your point is that once you have an existing relationship with a dealer, in many cases you can get things done that others cannot or have access to watches at lower than advertized prices (which is great) but not everyone is a collector. not everyone is foolish (like i am) enough to buy and buy and buy again. plus too even with the whole group buy discount bit, if one is patient enough, prices will fall. that is something for another thread though - i have certainly never understood the methods of the early adoptors. keep posting more though, i always like your posts.

i've got that on a ti case and let me tell you, it's the business!

someone correct me, but i thought those meteorite dials fetch in the thousands per dial

is it just me or is the chrono seconds off a tick?

guys it's the weekend, and we all know how silix goes on the weekend...

i like ap i like maserati but this is teh sux0rs

guys i hate to rain on everyon else's parade, but the time has finally come that i too will take some credit. this may come as a shock to some, but upon reflection i have discovered that approximately two weeks ago, i bumped this thread with a funny one-liner. without that, who knows where this project would be. god speed gents.
