It was a frosty morning, and I was in a yellow wood, so.........

E malama pono, big guy.

There will be a visible difference between 14k and 18k gold when it's the real stuff. I was a gold miner and my wedding band is 24k purely because of that color. You can't mimic the buttery luster of 24k and to a lesser extent, 18k. 14k looks cheap in comparison.

Excellent! I was there 2 weeks last October. Did a lot of swimming, and walked it point to point bunches of times. Boy was it warm and sunny and nice.

Wildwood beach??

Oooooooo, where? The polycarbonate ones are okayyyyy but not real good. I admit I'm pretty picky... I'd love to try the ground glass too.

Freddy, it actually came with the original (gasp) red leather Disney band, but it had road rash. So the hunt is on! My global Mickey Brothers..... I salute you!

No matter how hard I try, I just can't peel this one off my wrist. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DBANE!!!

I'm sorry, I know I should have posted a Disclaimer in my original thread. The Disney Virus is nearly impossible to cure. In fact, your mere posting here of that Darth Vader link has crashed their server. It's now "down for maintenance". Yeah right... you and I know it's all the managers from Disney USA with the salesfolk on the phone in a mad buying frenzy. Which means my pristine example has likely doubled in value already today.

Monster!

I still can't believe this is MINE! ALL MINE!!!! (drool)

The tricky part is finding the right pieces. An 8mm Brevet crown will be 1/3 the diameter of the entire watch, and I have yet to find a 25mm Superdome.

Scintillating in its grandeur, no?

After months of exhaustive searching and, I'm embarrassed to say, back alley dealing with scurrilous lowlifes, I've finally ... FINALLY found a piece that has eluded me. Until now... I just knew this day would come. The mailman met me at the door and I signed for the Registered package with shaking hands. Then with breathless anticipation I carefully opened the package and beheld the glory of the acquisition. It was scintillating in the late afternoon sun, and the guilloche pattern on the dial was more than I'd dare to hope for. I was struck mute with awe. So I quickly raced down to the Rolex AD and went through his large assortment of straps to find the perfect match for the elegant colors on the dial. Stainless steel would not suit this beauty... it's a rarity of a certain age and demands respect. So a lovely stitched leather strap was procured and installed with care so as not to scratch the lovely pristine lugs. Some might claim that it's a little small. But remember, vintage pieces used to all be small and this is no exception. It's a perfect fit in its genre. 45+ mm watches are for cads and ruffians. This is delicacy and taste incarnate. So with bated breath and with no small measure of humility, I bring you my latest rare stainless beauty. I hope it brings you the same pleasure it has brought me. Drum roll please..................... And here it is....

Just wait 17 more days me hearties... wenches akimbo! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

No kidding, most people don't measure their bottom time in hours.

Loyal

Yeah, the scenery and the flavor of the area is great. And last night I saw a big mama black bear and two yearlings in the yard, two bull moose on the road, a mama moose and her calf, and down by the park another mama moose with two calves. Who needs the zoo?! How about those Ospreys flying around? What a new, bizarre sound they make. Wow.

Thanks, I worked pretty hard on the Big Gonzo. I live up in the mountains SE of Anchorage, just under McHugh Peak. Did you see the news last night with the people lining the highway into Seward? Some guy was holding a sign that said "HIDE THE WOMEN, THE SECRET SERVICE IS IN TOWN". Love it!

Eric, old friend... Legend hit the nail right on the head... it's GREAT to see you back! We are a band of brothers, you included. What can we do for you?

Liberace

Sweet! what part of Alaska? Hope you're not in Seward, Dillingham or Kotz.... what a zoo! Fearless Leader is hiking to Exit glacier today to showcase the ravages of global warming, and filming an episode of the Bear Gyllis "survival" show along the trail. I suspect both will be equally believable as pertains to reality.

No such thing as too much color
