Lani, This was supposed to have 316F steel; can you tell any difference? Sorry if you already answered that, but I am "on a conference call" and having to flip back and forth. Bryan

You might try Sead over at RG. He had one for sale a while back, and I just ordered an SS Ingy from him. If he doesn't have it in stock stateside, he'll order it for you, and QC it before accepting your paypal. Sead is my dealer of choice for these reasons. His dealer section entry is under Supermirrors.

Hey. I am a big proponent of Nitric Oxide supplements. I have used 2 of them, Nitrix by BSN and Nitro ( the in store brand at Max Muscle). This is the only supplement that has ever given me any kind of performance and visible results. I first took Nitrix when it first came out, and after about 6 weeks on it, one of my non-gym buddies asked me if I was on steroids. I laughed and told him I wasn't and asked my he had asked, and he said that I had gotten noticibly bigger in the chest, shoulders, and arms. Took a while off from the gym due to a shoulder injury (on one of those damn perfect pushup lazy susan pieces of crap) and now am back at it. I have gone through two bottles of Nitro from Max Muscle, and while it does provide some results, they are not as pronounced as the BSN Nitrix. Observations: Nitrix - have to take more pills - pills harder to swallow - company got in trouble for improperly labeling some products (not nitrix) - better results Nitro - fewer pills in dose - pills easier to swallow - I like the company and the fact that I can go into the store - results not as good as Nitrix Both - for best results and health concerns, drink plenty of water - don'st stop using the product suddenly - follow dosing and cycle instructions closely - slept better at night, woke with less aches (presumably due to better circulation) Edit to add results - concentrating on Nitrix here & these are just my personal observtions: - post workout "pump" (engorged, hard muscles) lasted almost 24 hours - faster recovery - could use significantly more weight - could do significantly more reps - only thing that has every helped me get noticeable size gains. I don't think the supplement gave me the size itself, but allowed me to push more weight for more reps, and kept my head in the game because I was excited about being able to do more and as we all know, if your head is not in the game at the gym, you're not going to get what you want out of working out.

V3 an V5 seem to differ on the shape of th ebottom of the crown guard. V3 lok scorrect and comes to an edge at the bottom opening of the CG ,where the V5, as far as I have seen is blocked off at that particular point. On the bracelet, I have heard that the v5 clasp is someone troublesome, and the coronet seems to be attached in a way that shows through underneath the coronet.

Well if negro is a negative word, i guess the United Negro College Fund had better get it's un-PC [censored] in gear and change it to "The United College Fund Exclusively For Those With Super Awesome Tans"

Regardless of how this post makes anyone feel, the contents cannot be disputed. Every point made is valid. That being said, I think all organizations that segregate based on race should be dismantled. There should be no KKK, no La Raza, no NAACP, no Black Panthers, no Reconquista, no black only or hispanic only, or asian only, or white only, etc, awards. Holding such events and giving such awards is tantamount to saying that we are not all equal and this has to be done to level the playing field of natural ability, talent, intelligence, beauty, etc.

Give me a break, this is nothing more than a gesture from the rest of the mostly socialist world saying "keep up the good work in trying to bring socialism to America." Barak Obama no more deserves the Nobel Peace Prize than do I.

Cool; thanks! that is very helpful.

Oh yeah, since they are not making these anymore, does anyone want to throw out a different figure from $200 or $201?

it's just under 5 years old and he got it from Eddie Lee, so I am assuming it's the old case.

Doc, Who is Mr. Slimeball in Texas? -Bryan

Yeah, I guess so. I guess I was hoping that someone might know of a stateside source. Tried my regular stateside dealer, but came up empty.

Thanks - any others?

Good morning everyone, One of my non-forum buddies has an EL 063 with the modified 2836 movement and is considering selling it to one of his co-workers (as a rep obviously); can anyone help in establishing a value for this piece? It's in good shape an on a panatime croco-leather strap with a thumbnail buckle, but also has the original non-tapered ss bracelet. Thanks in advance for any help. Best, Bryan

Hi everyone; I need some help. My buddy has a manual wind speedmaster from the cartel, and somehow lost the bezel tachymeter trim ring. Can anyone suggest a dealer or memeber for sourcing a replacement part?

I'd go for the stainless steel IWC Ingy.

I think you've nailed it and hope you do the same at the interview. In the past, my interview watch of choice has been the IWC Ingy stainless model. It is understated, well put together, and classy without beating the casual observer over the the head with a status symbol.

I wear mine everywhere. All my friends know they're reps, and most collect reps as well. Outside of my friends, I couldn't be bothered to give a **** what anyone else thinks when they look at my wrist. I wear them because I like them. I have noticed people treating me differently; at car dealerships, electronics stores, nice restaurants, etc. it usually garners preferential treatment, where as in some situations, when pricing is variable, I have had it stuck to me, I assume, because people make assumptions about me based on what I am wearing. I probably wouldn't look right rocking anything that was more than $5k, but I don't let that stop me, because again, I don't care. Anybody that is anything to me already knows, and most of everyone else wouldn't even know the difference between an AP and a high end Timex.

Puggers, From what I have seen, the V3 has the best case and bracelet construction. The V5 has the best dial and bezel. My advice, if you have the means (and I don't right now), would be to buy both, put the v5 dial and bezel insert in the V3 sell the remaining bastard watch off to cover as much of your cost as you can, and you are left with basically the perfect rep. I think you can pretty much get any of them from any of the dealers. Bryan

yeah ordered a milgauss from him back when they first came out. Good guy, but a real no [censored] kind of guy. I enjoyed working with him and service was as promised.

I could definitely see rockin one of these!!! http://thefutureofthings.com/pod/6691/zypad-wireless-wrist-computer.html Bryan

Thanks for the advice Gio!!

can someone post a link to these?

Hi, Does anyone here know of any collectors or members that might be able to source a Panerai Watch Box Set on VERY short notice. I mean like have it to my door in Texas in 2 days? Any help is deeply appreciated. Bryan

Didn't realize that my membership had lapsed until I tried to post a want to buy thread. Sorry about that!
