Valentines Green.

I've actually seen a couple of these cubed watches in Tourneu in Vegas. These things are amazing and cost a fortune. I'm not sure of what brand it was but definately very similar.

That's cool. My wife and I will be flying into San Diego on the 11th -13th. It's my favorite place to vacation. Have fun and drive safe. Also watch out for CHP. They're every where down there in unmarked white Camaros.

I'm curious. Are there customizers out there that do that or can you order it like that from Rolex ?

Well my wife says I'm Metro and I'm comfortable with that. I have the J12 ceramic coated Chrono. It's a pretty cool watch. I bought my wife the matching ladies Chrono as well. I don't worry about other peoples opinions. If I did , I wouldn't be more successful than most of the people I know. Besides , your were born an original. Don't die a copy.

My great grandfather would say "If anything ever squeaks , chirps , whines or whails ...... Use a hammer. "

Interesting topic. If I spent $5-$50 k on a watch that would mean I had $5-$50k to blow. So taken Into account the price to salary ratio I would not at all be concerned of how much the watch cost.

Great read & very informative.

My in sightly perspective : smc , I admire your initiative but please allow me to shed some light on a couple of perspectives you might not have thought of. First of all I am somewhat of a Philanthropist myself. I live in a small Rural Southwest Texas city of about 45,000 people. All of which are primarily Mexican since the city sits right on the border of Mexico. My wife and I are a middle class family and are by no means of origin of "Money". My wife is an RN and I am now a stay at Father since the birth of my daughter 5 months ago. I work part time as a cook and donate every penny I make to various charitable events that I initiated a couple years ago. I use my modest earnings as a way to jump the start event and get the community involved. I participate in such things as Christmas Tree drives and Toy drives during the Holidays. Electric Fan drives and Bottled water drives during the warmer months. And Back to school drives for needy families to be able to acquire back packs and school supplies for the upcoming school year. If I had more money I would certainly do more for my community. But I do what I can with a big heart. I humbly ask that you seek out another great idea to be helpful during your Holiday in Cuba. Here is why : First of all, you want to collect High end replicas to give away in Cuba? Interesting Idea but you're in for a load of trouble. Here is why. Do you actually think Cuban customs is just going to allow you to waltz into their 3rd world country with a handful of seemingly over a $100,000 dollars worth of watches and you'll be on your merry little way? You'll be lucky if you even make it through the customs checkpoint unscathed. Second , lets say you get skipped during the customs bag search and make it into the country and start handing out watches. You do know even though Fidel Castro is on his deathbed He and his government is certainly going to take notice once word gets out that a foreigner is handing out Rolex's Panerai's , Omegas , Etc... Thirdly , lets say you give a high end watch to a seemingly nice gentleman. Who mind you, could very well be an errand boy for one of the countries "Many" drug cartels there. He's amazed by his new Foreign Santa Claus that His boss takes notice of the extremely expensive watch on his wrist. The Boss is going to wonder how in the world he acquired such a watch on his meager earnings. Guess what.......you just sentenced that man and his family to death because he's going to be accused as a thief and not even be allowed to explain. If he can even get the words out fast enough before there is a bullet in his head you my friend aren't going to make that flight back home. Fidel Castro has that country brain washed that "He" is his countries one and only savior. He will feel threatened that you're stealing his spotlight. Lastly , I believe everyone here has helped someone out at least once in their lifetime. People love helping others but they want to see where and how their hard earned money is going to be used. People want results. Donating watches for your Holiday in which none of us will even be able to validate unless you filmed the whole ordeal of your excursion is just not appealing. If you would like other donations given and you plan to document this trip with pictures or videos I am certainly in. I have a 6 year old boy that has out grown many of his clothes and shoes. I would be more than Happy to send them to you. Then again , your trip is in 5 days. My offerings wouldn't even make it to you on time. Simple Candy goes a very long way and especially little Chinese made Toys. I know all about Hispanic cultures and what they will appreciate. My wife is Hispanic and I have been amongst Hispanics all my life. They are proud , simple and thankful individuals of anything of "Use" that you may have to offer. Once again , I commend you on your idea. Maybe think outside the box and you'll be on your way to being a Helpful and caring person. My $.02 , L8terz

16610 with my new Nato band and new Bezel.

That's a great idea. I Would definately buy one. Calendars are fairly easy to make. If I had photo donations I would surely give it a go if there was enough interest. Maybe we could have a poll / thread specifically for the watch of the month. Take maybe the next 4-6 weeks to decide on all 12. My $.02

I've purchased two J12's from Andrew. One for my wife and I. Absolute amazing service. I recommend viewing the dealer sections and read their reviews. Then decide for yourself. If you go with any of our Trusted dealers you shouldn't be disapointed. Good luck and keep us posted.

Could be fun. Not too far from Texas.Only about 14 hours from me if it were in Denver.

Very cool indeed.

You know , this sort of statement without being sure is only hurting our community. If some new person ( such as myself ) saw this comment it would hinder me considering doing business with this individual. Not every one reads all of these threads as thorough as some. I realize you said oops a couple posts further but , what if the newbie didn't read that far down ? He is an approved dealer and I'm sure that he just didn't acquire that privilege from the bottom of a cracker jack box I'm sure he'll come through. My $.02

I used to live in Vegas for 5 years and they built that because there is only one single route out of town that way. The current road leads straight to the Hoover damn for the tourists. It gets extremely congested because the speed limit through that area is like 25 MPH. So they created that over pass to bypass all that congestion.

Awesome pic man. Nice looking watch and beautiful son. I just had a baby girl 7 weeks ago and am loving every minute of it.

You'll get it buddy. Everything goes through customs.

Good morning everyone. I was cruising around the Itunes app store and noticed there was a "Watch Guide" app in there. Upon inspection it seemed to be pretty informative in regards to the manufacturer history , how to spot " Replicas" and photos to coincide with such. I thought it was neat based on it's brief info of the industry and it's many wonderful artisans. It's only $1.99 and was wondering if anyone had used it before ?

Maybe we could do a group buy

It'll actually wind 16 watches at the same time. It's the first ever produced W16 engine. Lani will only need 50 of them

Wow !! I was actually assuming my guess was high. But $100,000 ....... Definately ideal for an actual owner of the car. What a way to further market a super car.

Considering that's the bottom end of the engine of a $ 1.2 million car that that thing probably costs about 50 grand.

I bought one for my wife who is pretty petite and it sized up wonderfully. Good luck with your purchase.

Hello everyone. I've always wanted to participate in these W/C's but I'm usually not home to participate.. I know of the easy way , snap a photo using a digital camera uploading it to a PC then posting it. But some of these seem like the members are actually out & about. Are any of you using an app on your phone to upload a photo?
