Oops, I seem to have touched a raw nerve here for many.

I didnt mean to.

Perhaps I have been more exposed to low quality reps and do require to indulge in some more serious quality buying.

I retract my statement.

RWG rocks

No. You shouldn't be retracting your statement. It has been a quite a while that I check into RWG. Lately, I've been to WUS more often. I have few reps I still love, but I have developed more affinity to gens lately. Weather it is high end rep or not, rep is rep and gen is gen. I see Davidsen watch in WUS as Homage watch w/o PAM logo. Why? no matter how close or good to PAM, it is still rep and illegal(unfortunately). I love my PAM063 rep dearly despite of minor flaw. I like my DeBaufre Nav B 44mm w/ Unitas which is essentially same as PAM 111 movement plus warranty. It is simple love of watches and up to each individual's taste and opinion. However, if it is going to be tool watch, go for gen. You don't want to dive into deep sea with rep diver, would you?

It's good to see post about Saigon. I was there early October for mission trip. I had a chance to go Bantham market( night market for tourist as I was told). One store selling replica was really bad. All they had was Canal street stuff. I asked for better PAM. Guy brought out case with some of better watches but still, you get better quality from dealers here. Artkos they had was missing 'N' and didn't know about it. They show me Breitling w/ CN movement telling me it was swiss movement. Price? $600.00 LOL!.

Flex, did you get to see Cu Chi tunnel? I am more sympathetic toward Vietnam war vets now. Thanks for the pics!

Try this. You may like it. It's in Korean mostly.

It is matter of if you are brusing properly rather than relying on performance of electric brush. Before plunge $$ for electric brush, try this. Get plaque disclosing tablet or solution from your dentist's office or drug store. Brush with your usual brush, then try disclosing tablet. It will show you if your brushing technique is good or not. Most time, you will find habitual brushing which may leave out plaques on your teeth. If you tend to brush with force, meaning brushing hard, get a soft brush. If you are inclined to get electric brush, Rotadent is a good electric brush. Not widely known but many hygienist would recommend it. For me, again, it is matter of proper brushing technique over technology.

Good looking 111H! Love the strap. VEry nice.

Wear it well, Bro.

I think scammers are the weakest of criminals. I have more respect for the guy that robs people face to face with a knife. Both types of thieves are desperate, but the scammer is more elaborate in his thievery, and he preys on people far away that can't touch him. WEAK. I personally never understood risking jail time for such relatively small amounts of money. I can understand, say, 20 million, but a thousand here and there? Why?

Anyway, guys who got ripped off by this dude, I hope everything works out, and don't worry, he'll get his.

I understand you meant well and what you are trying to say, but there shouldn't be any respect for anyone if your are threatening others life or their possesion by any means. I guess either you were never mugged @ gunpoint or knew someone killed by knife during robbery. Well, I do.

It just mean that those of us own both rep and gen belong to Ugly category like good old Clint Eastwood movie, Good, Bad and Ugly. But, who cares? We do what we like!

Sorry, Bro. I asked sales rep about it and her reply was that as soon as it comes, it goes away. You may want to give them a call in advance for new shipment. One in Costa Mesa, CA , they only had 40mm, white face and FErrarie PAM few month ago. I hope you have better luck than I did.

Responsibility and cash. Leave the significant other at home as you will have more fun in the county. Camera and a healthy appetite for night life. The club in the Venetian Tower is the best on the strip. I am taking a trip to Vegas in November, Wynn here I come.

Please LEAVE the 111H in Torneau at Caesar's Palace ALONE as this has my name all over it. Do not forget your clubs. Vegas has many great courses.

Last July, Torneau was fresh out of any Panerai. Now people are catching on PAM. I did have chance to toy with IWC Aquatimer chrono. Very nice watch.

In my experience, wear what moves you and feel comfortable and confident. Have a responsible fun as TWP said.

I just checked into off topic section and I found sad news. My prayer goes out to you and your family. I learned from my stay at WLA VA Hospital, number of Vietnam vets suffered from Agent Orange. Prostate Ca was also one of problems. It is sad truth that many vets fought for country are not being properly cared for.

I believe that your father will live on as you live on. May peace and comfort be in your heart...

I would agree with Nanuq and Chronomat123. DEspite of our rationalization of collecting reps and spending $$ for mod, in the end, it is rep. My watchsmith acknowledges that reps are becoming so accurate that without opening the back, can't tell the difference that easily. However, once back is opened, it's different story. Rep is still a poser, no more than that.

Nanuq, now you are making me tempted!

Look @ Accesorie section of RWG.

I'm sorry to hear this. I had transaction which went just fine except I'm trying to solve one item's repair issue. Since July 4th, I couldn't get in touch with him. I hope everything is OK with him.

Hi, Sash. I've been trying to get in touch with you, but since early July, your PM box is full and I don't know other way to reach you. This is regarding order I'd like to place and also concerning previous order. If anyone has his email, would you kindly PM me? Thanks in advance!

Nice warm glass of milk! Let Taurine does the job.

BTW, people got killed from rep vaccine in China. So, stay off for your own health!

Flagyl and Amoxycilline, poor man's Augmentine....the Good stuff.

NA brew for me though, I'm always DD.

I wish I read this sooner, then I might stay with non GMT version of Ferrari watch. At least, watch arrived fine w/ fairly accurate time keeping. I'm crossing my fingers...

I saw ad on men's journal. I didn't know it is about 1k!. It seems like using Rhonda movement. Traser watch has same layout.

Dang it! when I thought U-Boat was big enought(55mm), this is Godzilla!

Exactly. What happened has nothing to do with guns, this was a seriously mentaly ill person, he could have run a lorry into a group of school chilldren, blow up a building or set the lecture hall on fire, the availability of guns wouldn't change his medical condition, which was clearly serious.

First, my prayer goes out to victims, their families and also family of assailant. As Polynomial put, all previous shooting rampages, Columbine, Amish village etc, were done by disturbed individuals. Oklahoma bombing as well.

If legally buying gun was not possible, do you think assailant would have been given up on this? I do not think so. There would be a good chance that he would acquire illegal gun and ammo anyhow. Many times, issue becomes matter of owning gun or not. To me, evaluating and helping these individuals to prevent this tragedy comes first, though it is not an easy task.

I thought it was Friday afternoon crazness, but alas, it's only Wednesday. Rya, can I get what you are having?

Oops! I missed PM part of his post.

The Silent Force, by Within Temptation..

Accidentally found it and just got CD..

Ken, do ypu have Dave's email? It will be great to see him again. May RWG can regain its original charm!

Very nice watch and you did well with the Sharpie coloring. I just wish it had a date window, I would use that more than the chrono to time myself running up and down the stairs at work.

I happen to have chance to put Gen one with date window, non-chrono @ Tourneau today. Very nice piece. Price tag was $5300.00 and AD senior rep told me that not many dealers have it yet in their store. I'm very tempted to get rep one since photo from saah or TTK look very close to the Gen one I tried it today. One thing now I can say which one is rep is that back of gen was A04XX/1000. Rep shows AXXX/700.
