I think this sucks as well... doesn't need to matter who the buyer was... whether it was finepics... or just any one of us here... it should be a first come first serve basis... and the seller should have had a bit more patience as not everyone lives on the forum... we all have our own lives as well... but i guess in the end it is up the the person selling who he wants to sell to... and I guess he made a big mistake in this case... lol... wouldn't want to be in his shoes... psst... finepics... I have one last piece left to my perfect 029 puzzle.... the datewheel! and then of course I will need all the parts installed and lumed and ar coated... and wan: you don't need to be sherlock holmes to find out what watch it was...

arghhh!! are you telling me i am allergic to reps!!! oh my god... its the end of the world...

We all rave about how nice and heavy our reps are... I have 2 reps which I find quite heavy, the tag link senna and my pam 029... however... I am just wondering... are the gens this heavy as well? Just that sometimes it feels a bit too heavy... I have handled a few gens and most gens are a good weight and feel comfortable on the wrist... I have a very old gen tag and it is not that heavy as well... feels just right on the wrist. rolex reps seem to be lighter.... i have a daytona which feels alright... I thought i would see if anyone felt the same way cos i am getting some kind of skin irritation at the back of my hand where the crown keeps touching the back of my hand... and also on my wrist where the back of the watch sits... getting some kind of rash... i guess cos the watch is a bit too heavy?

what are you on??? I want some... lol... unless you are talking about the recent bombing in southern thailand? but then there was nowhere near 7500 ppl missing in that incident...

I have heard of watch repair shops in Asia changing parts in your gen watches for rep parts... the owners would never know...

I have clients that work in the Thai parliament.... Foreign affairs...wonder if they will be ok...

did you say bestswiss????

I have been trying to pick a strap for my 029... want it to be perfect... can't seem to make up my mind yet... sigh... don't know what colour to go for... whether just to go with plain tan calf.... or black gator.... or something more striking like snakeskin.... or cream calf....

Over here in NZ for a single storey house building cost is approximately nzd1000 per sq m, and about nzd1200 per sq m for 2 storey. That is for the standard fittings... if you want to go for something more upmarket it would probably add another nzd200 per sq m.

would be good if you could post some photos for us to drool over...

Looks pretty good!!! But what are all those small rooms in the ground floor? I have a friend who is an architect and we are working on a project at the moment building 3 townhouses by the beach as well! He hand drew all the drawings... quite impressive what they can draw with their hands... I have qualifications in civil engineering... but not practising. Maybe if I have time one day I will scan his drawings and post them here as well!!!

I really like his mbw drsd... but I probably won't buy it till I have enough money to do all the mods... knew i should have bought those tropic39 superdomes back when there were still some on offer.... dang! Now I guess I will just have to finish getting my 029 to 99%...

finally... someone asked the question!!! i have always wondered but didn't want to look like an idiot... lol!

good question! i could use with some minor adjustment on mine as well....

it is indeed very sad...

sorry to jump in before the previous one was solved... hehe... what about this guy?

There has been quite a lot of movement since I last posted.... in particular AED... I bought at 1.51 its trading above 3 now... and there is talk of it going much higher... all of this in just over a month? another one that is very volatile is CDU (previously AUM)... anyone else have any tips they would like to share?

Finest tap water has to be here in Christchurch, NZ...

That sounds odd... I have had no problems with my watch yet...except for it running a bit fast... but I did notice something today after taking off my watch... the caseback seems like it is screwed on incorrectly... it is sitting at an angle and on one side it sits nice and tight but on one end it sticks out with a small gap... pretty sure i can't swim with this watch!!! lol... darn... need to try to take off the caseback to screw it on properly... but its pretty hard cos I don't have a pin tool to take the bracelet link off and I don't want to take it to a watchsmith again cos I know they will charge me 15 dollars...

Well said!!! Some ppl can be very inconsiderate...

Most of you have probably seen this... thought it was pretty cool!

same here... i always stare at the wrists to check the watches out... only exception being hot chicks... then i stare somewhere else...

not happening to me...

I just got myself one too!! Thanks pho... I was thinking about it... then i decided just to go with it... its just too cool!!!
