  1. Who Offshore purchased it from escapes me; I believe Eddie Lee. But I don't know if they had copied this movement 2 or 3 years ago.
  2. She's invested in her looks because she knows her limitations. You don't need a Phd to scream, "deeper".
  3. Here's a Rolex Daydate I received from Offshore, here at RWG. Five business days door to door, from Australia to Florida. I was never too fond of these, but it's growing on me. For the offer that was made, I couldn't really pass it up. I originally bought it for my girl, but there aren't enough removable links to come close to making this fit her (she's got a 5 inch wrist...) I guess I'll have to wear it. I sealed the gaskets & regulated the movement yesterday and it's keeping pretty damn accurate time now. Also buffed the sides of the band from a brushed to a polished finish, re-polished the tops of the center links and the case, crown & bezel. Shines like a mirror in the sun; just like the white-gold gen version. I'm not familiar with the movement though; I was sure it'd have a 2836 in it, but it's stamped 2169? Pain the ass to regulate. I'm sure this is an ETA, but I'm not the expert; have a look: Thanks again!
  4. Does anyone remember the scene in Amelie, where she walks the blind beggar down the street and passes all the candy shops, butchers, and bakeries? Were all those shops actually on the same street in Montmartre, or was that simply creative editing & if so, does anyone know the name of the street? Thanks again.
  5. Like a lot of companies these days, if they're smart, instead of prosecuting him, they'll hire him.
  6. That bid has to be BS. Princess Di had dresses that didn't even fetch that much @ auction.
  7. The thing I remember from my last trip over was the shocking amount of homeless you had to literally step over. That, and the gargantuan amount of dog [censored] all over Montmartre. I hope at least the "litter" situation has improved...
  8. Already posted! http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=45364&hl=
  9. Polk County?! Would I take a time machine or a car to get there? Not for sale...yet. I always tell her when she turns 40, I'm trading her in on two 20 year olds.
  10. Is the new release simply an upgraded version of this one: Or are you talking about this one:
  11. Instructions already pinned in the "knowledge base" section. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=19163
  12. Hopefully before Sept 30th--just in time for my birthday.
  13. All of them, originally. Then it was "nothing but a Rolex". Then it was "anything but a Pam". Then it was, "ok, this is the last one." And Jesus H. Christ almighty, now it's "anything but the Yachmaster II"...
  14. And from my trips, London does seem considerably more than Paris; I believe London is one of the top 5 most expensive cities in the world next to Moscow, Oslo, Tokyo & Z
  15. Right now I've only got reservations at La Fermette Marbeuf, and Senderens. I'll def check out the restaurant hotel in London.

  17. Pugwash, are you going to have Seaman Stains & Master Bates to help you mod this section?
  18. Finally! And a size comparison shot too. Thank you. Not to get picky--no biggie--but anyone have a wrist-shot showing the case thickness from the side?
  19. @ Fast--nothing too high end; we'll only be doing two or three elegant dinners (only so many suits I care to wear on vacation) and I don't care to drop more than $300 per meal (for the both of us). @ Ry--Yes, French nite-clubs are even worse than the British ones ,save for a few. The last club we were in a few years ago in Paris looked like some dated set from Polanski's "Frantic".

  21. I spend a lot of time in the pool or at the beach; currently, it's a toss up between my SMP chrono & my 16610LV. Oddly, the Pam051 is my favorite for lap swimming. Still looking for some wrist shots, though...
