Yea, its a strap works strap that cost me $109 plus shipping. So I dont want to destroy the strap... Ill keep working on it

still cant get it out

Hey guys, While trying to remove the screw-in spring bar (does it have another name?), I stripped the screw, and I cannot remove it. Any advice? Is there somewhere I can get a replacement? I just got a baseball glove strap in the mail from Europelli too.

I have a rep Rolex [censored] ring.

bingo

By the way, I lived in Newcastle and went to Uni of Newcastle. It is a large town/small city on the coast just north of Sydney. While in Australia, I was able to travel the entire east coast, and for some unknown reason, I met the hottest women in Brisbane. It was probably completely random, but I loved the night life there. Its a great city in a great country. Overall, it was definately a memorable experience. EDIT: Also, I concur that the customs in Australia is tough... but my impression was that the customs officials were more interested in pest quarentine and making sure the person entering does not have any plants/dirt with them.

Absolutely. I like how everyone dissected the flaws. I like to know all the flaws going into a rep purchase. If I try to detect all of them by myself I always miss a fair amount. I would have never noticed the unbrushed area on the caseback. Thanks for posting this!

I voted for strap, but I hate rep straps. Id pick a bracelet over a rep strap. Investing $100+ into a good strap is well worth it.

It doesnt bother me. I just wasnt sure if I was seeing things or not because the date font wasnt discussed in 10 pages of a thread.

Enjoy Australia. I went to a University there temporarily. I lived right on the beach; it was a great experience.

Is it just me, or is the date font clearly different on the rep???

Your arguement makes sense, but how do you explain an obvious fake in Kill Bill? Note: I havent seen the movie, so I havent seen the watch.

Bell & Ross is definately gay.

[censored] you.

If those are the choices, Id definately go with the Vintage SM.

If I could meet a member, it would probably be Pugwash. Id like to buy him a beer for all his photographic and instructional contributions to this community.

Good point.

2 reps, 2 gens & a Bulova that wouldnt be rep'ed since it is relatively inexpensive.

Yea, I know. I just thought Id be as specific as possible as far as my preferences go.

agreed!!!!

I think we have enough opinion to poll now. My vote goes for one of the IWC chronos with all the subtle upgrades, like AR coating.

thanks for the links. I read back through them a little more carefully. I must have missed that there is unregistered traffic here. I was just thinking that a board, where a 1/3 of its daily visitors pay a fee and costs still aren't covered, that the board is probably living beyond its means. But since I overlooked that there is unregistered users, that fraction would be much lower. As an economist, I'm really interest in efficiency, and I thought that was an interesting stat... but after closer inspection, it may not apply. I have some free time this weekend, I think I may look at the numbers a little closer.

time to poll it !

I noticed that 977 people have visited this site today, and roughly, (1/3) of them are subscribers. Since people are discussing the costs to run the board, obviously its an issue. So, my question is, if (1/3) is not enough to cover costs, what percentage of daily views would cover the cost to run the board?

absolutely.
