Yeah we're pretty fortunate up here on the mountain, point down into the trees and go XC skiing, or point up toward the ridge line with snowshoes. I saw a lynx chasing a snowshoe hare in the trees, that was pretty cool too.

Vintage skis, vintage watch. Perfect.

Didn't want to take his pill this morning. Hmmmm, I wonder if it wasn't meant to be given as a suppository?

Thanks! I used an ulu to cut the leather, it does a great job. Then a hammer and punch for the holes and 3 stakes and a hammer for the leaves and forget-me-not flowers design. It soaked up a ton of mink oil and it's fairly waterproof. Wax would be better. It also preserves the stitching better. You just know that stitched on back strap is going to fail.

The Big Dawg is on a first name basis with Minh and Jürgen. The rest of us are still trying to figure out "who has the best Sub?" Nice pickup mate! *cough* get it??

Glad you like it, that was a flat sheet of heavy leather when I started. Oh and BOB stands for Bend Over, Baby. It's what I tell a tree before I chop it down. Honest.

What a beauty. Something that nice really deserves a genuine dial and hands.... Where'd the caseback originate?

Yep we talked about this before: http://www.rwgforum.net/index.php?/topic/68557-Tudor-GMT?/page__view__findpost__p__412102

Oh yes, that's nice. I'll PM you a thought about that.

Oh great, now you guys will be bidding against me as I swoop in at the last moment!

Sorry, can't help with those. I wear heavy mountaineering boots most of the time with a Norwegian welt. I use a wire brush to clean the crud out, then warm them up in the oven a little and rub boot wax in with a cloth. The oils keep the leather healthy and the wax keeps the welt waterproof. Mink oil, saddle soap and neatsfoot oil are all good for smooth leather. I used mink oil on my new axe cover

Microsoft already tried making a branded watch and that didn't work out so well either......

WOW is right! That one's a beauty. Think he found it stashed under the seat of his Ford truck?

A man was walking down the street with two suitcases when a stranger came up and asked, "Have you got the time?" The man put down the suitcases and looking at his wristwatch said, "It's exactly five-forty six and fifty point six seconds." The stranger replied, "Say, that's a fancy watch you've got there. Does it do more?" The man smiled and pressed a button. After a moment he said, "Well, the barometric pressure is 30.06 and rising, and the humidity this afternoon will be 65%. High tide in Sydney Harbor was 73 minutes ago, there was an earthquake in Siberia this morning, the moon phase is a waxing crescent, and CERN has just released more specifics about the Higgs Boson. If you'd like to see where we are by GPS satellite, I can show you an overhead view. Your girlfriend's birthday is next week, and your parking meter is about to expire. I can Skype your mother for you, and what's this? That item you're sniping on eBay has ended early." "That's amazing! I've got to have that watch! I'll pay you a thousand dollars for it!" "No, it's not really for sale yet. I'm the inventor and I'm still working out some bugs. I haven't fully debugged its C compiler and ...." "C language? Are you kidding me? I've got to buy that watch! Five thousand!" "Well, you see...." "Ten thousand! I've got to have it!" "Well, okay." He takes off the watch and carefully hands it over. The stranger straps it on and walks away whistling and admiring it, and the guy holds up the suitcases... "Don't you want the batteries??"

There's a reason I drive this instead of the turbocharged sports sedan.

Run away. The thing is hideous!

Hey Z, I saw the watch that was stolen and knew right away it was yours. Man that stinks 1,000 different ways. We've all got our eyes open for it.

On Fleabay for 6 more days is an ORANGE DIALED Sharkhunter SUB 300T. 99.99% of Sharkhunters have a black dial. I've seen two Sharkies with a silver dial. This is the only one I've ever seen or heard of with an ORANGE dial. Go get 'em boys! Rare as an honest politician. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Doxa-Sub-300T-Sharkhunter-Orange-Dial-Diver-Watch-Pitt-Cussler-/130850504355 EDIT: wait a minute, hold yer horses. I'm thinking this is a franken-sharkie. Non original. Bid accordingly. For these reasons: Ringed sailing ship caseback (should be SUB 300 era) Big tube crown White hands with narrow lume plots (should be black hands)

Heads up RWG, idontknow spotted this scammer again as new member "lionheart". Avoid him at all costs, I'm preparing another ban.

Man, that stinks in 1,000 different ways. Especially being Z's watch. Yeah we'll keep our eyes open. NOTE: the 24h hand in the distinguishing feature here, and it's easy to swap out. That would put this piece seriously under the radar. So when evaluating GMTs that pop up here and there, imagine it with the red hand and see if it's a match. Got a serial number or other distinguishing marks? Good luck!

I just figured you're an ophthalmologist!

Gahhhhh! Shot through the heart!

Woo hoo, we've got an honest to God blizzard here tonight! The house is shaking and snow is flying! Time to strap on the Snowflake I guess?

Scabby old no crown guard.
