Wrists were buck naked this weekend.

TWB's deployant ultrasoft black with white stitching is absolutely awesome and stunning. It's buttery soft like a Parmigiani Hermes strap without the price. Only $50 ordered from them. Only complaint is that the strap is a bit thin.

I think that these watches may be attempted knockoffs at Glashutte? Not replicas I mean, but trying to use a similar name to confuse people I assume. But for 100 euro, you will still get at least a half decent mechanical watch. The whole Glashutte watchmaking was confusing to me at first, but to be basic, all the companies with different names are different enitities. They have no relation to each other, but there are special cases, where Union Glashutte uses a Glashutte Original movement in their perpetual calendars, but with noticeable quality differences, the Union is machine finished, while the Glashutte Original movements are hand finished and well detailed.

Trust me Willith, Panerai is already a very economical habit when you compare it to people with Audemars Piguet addictions. Very bad disease for the bank account and is often the source of trouble with your spouse or significant other.

Ken, the the city of Glashutte in Germany, there are tens, if not hundreds of different watchmakers in the city, and each and almost every brand calls themselves Glashutte something. The high end brands that hail from this city are Glashutte Original and A. Lange and Sohne. There are also some mid range brands like Union Glashutte. Just because the watch says Glashutte, doesn't mean it has a connection to the luxury brand "Glashutte Original".

Anyone here can recommend any good workouts? I have been in a cast for a week so far, and my arms are starting to get a bit flabby, along with my legs, and I still have 2 weeks to go until the cast come off, unfortunately.

But remember, this store knows I have a large genuine watch collection, they've seen the UN Freak I've owned, Royal Oaks. I've bought a few watches from them, including a Blancpain and a UN. But the funny thing is, the manager of the store wears a Yellow Gold Rolex Masterpiece with diamond bezel, and I'm 100% sure it's genuine too, because she's taken it off and allowed me to fiddle with it, and the weight can't be matched. Also, I really think the hothead genuine owners who are against reps are in the minority. I'll bet quite a few of the Paneristi have their reps, just tucked away from their own guys, I mean we have Paneristi among us too, and Purists like me too.

Is this a joke? The link doesn't work btw.

Hong Kong is big $$$$ out of all the cities. I have a relative who owns a flat at the Peak, on the top floors with a panoramic view of HK island and Kowloon. At almost HK$50,000 per square foot, it's I think it's one of the most expensive per square foot areas in the world, suprassing London and New York. (HK$50,000 is about $6800 US). Update too: The buyer has issued his cheque to me, and I have deposited it in the bank. I am waiting 2 weeks for it to clear first. I will be moving out in mid-June.

So today, I was wearing my 111H rep the whole day, after we adjourned for the day at the courthouse, I decided to stop by a watch dealer in Toronto that sells UN, Zenith, Breitling, Parmigiani to take a look around. I am very friendly with the managers and all the staff in the store, they show me whatever I want all the time and are good on prices too. So I didn't realize I was wearing a rep Panerai 111H on the wrist and by this time it was too late to slip it away anyways. So one of the managers points to my wrist and said, what's that, a Panerai? I said yeah, and she said "nice watch". Then she said "You know what?, from now on, I'm going to buy fake everything, there's no point to buying real handbags anymore". I also asked her about fake watches, and she said "why not?". Then another employee came out and we started to talk about Panerai, he was telling me about how much he loved them and the good watches they are. I said, hey, you ever hear of the fakes with the identical movements? He said no, and at this point, I take the 111H off my wrist and lay it down on the counter. I announced it was a Chinese made Panerai replica. He picked it up in excitement, and the lock on his face was shocked. He said, well, with this, what's the point of buying a real one anymore? "You should get me one sometime." The other employees gathered around it and also stared at it in amazement, and said, how is this possible for $300? They had 2 preowned Panerais in the case, a 119G and a 111F and put them beside each other. They were amazed how similar the weight to the 111F was, and how detailed the movement on the replica was too. The only flaw they really found was that some parts of the case were a bit roughly finished, but they all said "amazing for $300". Just wanted to share this little story with you guys.

I thought it sounded awful, sounded like someone farting IMO. It's not like the clear ring of a genuine JLC memovox, which actually has a bell. But of course, the price difference is huge.

ANyone have any suggestions, idea on how to do it? I recieved a PAM 111H today, but the crown guard, to my disappointment was not brushed.

My bank pays me 0.1% interest, generous aren't they? Hong Kong was even worse, in 2003, banks were paying 0.001% interest.

Come on, spill it. I get $8.00 per month on a savings account with a $100,000 in it.

Damn it, I gotta go out and get a Bentley or something to compete with all the people here

Wow EL, is that 7-Day Portuguese Perpetual in your album yours too? Damn, I want one of those, but at $20K, I will go with the RM 005 over it.

Better work hard as I told you earlier. This place should be the least of your priorities. Good luck to you.

Recipient has been selected. Instead of responding to each one of you individually, this is my open letter to all of you: To the rest of the people who inquired, I honestly really appreciate the help offered by you, and the generosity shown by many of you willing to do it for free really speaks volumes to me about what kind of a community we are. Some of you are more genuine than any of my watches can ever be. I am very impressed with the people here, coupled with the earlier response to Dutchy's birthday, makes me feel proud to be a part of this community. Please do not feel offended if I did not select you, the decision was made on a number of factors, including previous trades, and the member's overall standing in the community. Warmest regards, admin

Just buy the asian rep and use the hands from there, then part it up and sell it off. THe hands should fit, since it's a 7750 copy.

Has there been a gas leak in RWGers homes around the world simultaneously?

Sweeeeeet........... Can't wait to see it on the watch.

You know what would be sweet, if she modelled with my incoming Richard Mille 005.

All you guys are great people. I'm going to go through the list of possible candidates tonight and tomorrow, then pick my guy. Hats off to all of you!

What do you guys think of this watch? I'm considering it, it is 44mm case size, but get this, the case is 20mm thick! The crystal is 4.5mm thick. This watch would be so cool to see on my 6.5" wrist.

What the.............. is going on here?
