Nice quickie! Gotta jump on Bill's stuff when it comes up. He's definitely thinning his collection, but not so much so that it's affecting the exclusivity value factor of all the original MBW parts.

I am a Diesel guy, then a 7 all mankind, followed by Calvin Klein.
True Religion and Rock and Republic jeans look great on Women, but the back pocket design, IMHO, should not be worn by "Men" Over 30. Under 30, cool, fashion of youth.
Could not agree with every word more... I've got enough junk in the trunk. I don't need giant ass pocket flaps.

The pearl is wrong and the lume needs to be redone

I believe there is a new trend to make these watches more self sufficient, therefore just like your car carrying a spare tire, the movements now come with spare jewels, just in case you have a blown out jewel away from home and need a quick repair...
Like Panasonic, the Chinese are slightly ahead of our time.
At least it wasn't a pube like I found a while back, yeach!

Amen. I feel like Rainman sometimes. I know you want the 16710, but I would go for a 16750 since it uses the acrylic crystal (to my knowledge there is no GMT rep case that will accept gen saphire) and you'll have your lug holes. Not to mention, I think all vintage GMTs are better than modern versions (with the exception of the 16760 Fat Lady, which at this point is vintage anyhow).

That could very well be. I guess my contention is that wouldn't it be more efficient and less costly to get it right the first time, taking more care with the QC pictures and customer satisfaction of them? For instance, I work in a restaurant. Last night, I previewed 2 steaks to the kitchen well-done with no char (I know, I know...) a half hour before I was ready to fire their entree course. I did this so that they could have well-done steaks with no char -- it takes a lot longer to cook this way. Well, my broil chef didn't get them started because he forgot that I had previewed it, and then he tried to rush their entrees out. I had to take their entrees back to the kitchen twice. I insisted we buy their entire check (almost $400). Now, had he taken care to prepare their entrees correctly, and even after screwing up still prepare them correctly, I would not have had to buy the check and they would have been much happier. Would it have taken longer to get their dinner out? Yes, but I can keep them happy while they wait for their main course as opposed to having to look like a tool taking their dinner back and forth to the kitchen.
The moral of the story? Being more thorough in the beginning of a transaction yields less time/cost fixing stupid mistakes. It also saves me from chewing on a broil chef's rear end

Beeautiful pieces, Brother.
Wear them with pride.
Thanks, G...

Yeah, it's pretty eye-catching. As Freddy said, blued is preferable to blue. At certain angles it looks black. Then, the light hits it just right and it's amazing... There's one thing that rep watches are lacking, and Freddy hit it on the head -- blue vs. blued.

kind of neat that the lume is faked tritium
It is neat. Almost like they got the idea from us -- you know, making new watches look old :-)

And by Cleveland, I mean NYC. The company that gave him the watch was in Cleveland, Ohio.

He died in the 80's. The company was right here in Ohio, but I bought the watch from auction in Cleveland.

Haha... That'd be right up there with the solid gold Sub they confiscated from O.J. Simpson after the civil suite. That watch turned out to be a rep. Of course, I bet he has the real one hidden sonewhere...
