Put me down for several Brian, I need to go through my Pams to figure out which ones i want to keep and get this special love. Thanks for the PM, i'm so busy at work that I haven't had the time to go through the boards. Definitely count me in for 4, maybe 11. I'm assuming this AR is an improvement over the factory's AR, and since it's single sided, we won't have the issue with clips. I'm assuming the following genuines have SINGLE AR: 111H 113 127 063 163 183 187 192 196 212 231 250 251 I'm sure lots of members have the same questions so hopefully this can answer everyones questions. Can everyone chime in for everyone's benefit?

Good God that looks great! did you install a new datewheel or is that chieftang's cyclops. i'm giving up on finepics datewheel but an OEM crown and jimmy crown guard looks amazing. anyone know where to get these parts?

I hate to say it but I've pretty much lost all faith in Finepics. I'm waiting for my 2892 datewheel also...patiently. I have 7 watches coming back from The Zigmeister in the coming weeks and i'm asking The Zigmeister to just send mine back without the datewheel, it's been too many months. If Mark pops up, outstanding...but a simple note advising everyone that it's delayed or not coming would suffice...and end this. I know many have had great dealings with Mark so I know Finepics does great work. For me he's a no show for now... Come on Mark, come through for everyone!

I'm having mine done in AR 3...i'll post pics once I get it back from The Zigmeister.

Hey chieftang, I have several Pams that needs some lovin... 196 187 212 063(with finepics MIA, i may just have The Zigmeister apply the cyclops you provided. should the cyclops be applied before or after AR?) and possibly 4 more, i'll try and advise tomorrow! thanks b dave

Hey Brian: Did you install one of your cyclops with the new datewheel or just the datewheel? hoping mine shows up so that The Zigmeister can send my lost son home. also, does the 063 genuine have a single sided AR or NO AR?

Hey Mark, Glad your back in action. I know The Zigmeister has confirmed he is still waiting on my 063 datewheel and i'm just looking for an update. If there's a delay, just let me know but I can't PM you and I don't have an email address. I'm glad several members have received their datewheels, but there are several who have not. You're a huge asset to the boards, I'm just trying to have my watch emancipated from Canada...my 063 tells me that Rob and Jenn eat too healthy and he wants a ribeye steak back in San Francisco. He's also picking up a Canadian accent so if you could please send my datewheel to The Zigmeister, that would be FANTASTIC. thanks dave

Just got 2 Breitlings from Chef Eddie Lee...Super Ocean and the Evoluion, both w/white face. Changing the strap on the SO to a genuine black rubber, but as I was sizing the bracelet on the Breitling Evolution, I noticed how sharp and "unfinished" the 12, 3, 6, 9 markers were. Has anyone else noticed this? Thinking about sending mine to The Zigmeister anyways for a service, but i might ask rob to "sand" them down a little. Watch looks and feels great...except for the ginzu knife action on those sharp edges.

I've had my watch as a house guest of The Zigmeister's for months...Rob hasn't heard from Mark either. Anyword would be great. I just want an update to find out if I should have The Zigmeister just send back my watch at this point. I'm glad Brian(Chieftang) got his but has anyone else?

Hey Brian: watches are packed and off to The Zigmeister, i'll leave instructions with rob to send them out to you directly when you advise the Round 3. when are you doing a round of singles...i have a couple that need to go. thanks!

mine's genuine movement when i checked when i first got my shipment months ago...don't want to open up the back again, scratched one of screws when i did. it's a great rep, those of us that have them know we got a great deal especially considering that it's real gold. it doesn't get enough wrist time but i wouldn't part with mine. anyone have pics of the rose gold, i got the 18k and missed the rose gold since it was sold out.

He's in the test kitchen working on some new seafood dishes think my little pony with wings...

I would be in for the SS ceramic...why not go for the newest for the best price if we're doing the GB.

i would love 2 of these for my inge and chrono...

I have to agree with alot of the comments. When I first found RWG 1, I spent several hours online throughout the course of a day soaking it all in...it was an exciting time. I've always loved watches and own several boring gen rolexes and cartiers, but what was exciting was...the FUN. I enjoyed learning about all the brands, grabbing my first Panerai which has grown to 9...to my rep collection which is now @ 40+. Reading the reviews on the models, movements, the mods(The Zigmeister, you still AMAZE me, 6 more coming your way this week). I've had many solid transactions with members, and OUTSTANDING dealings with Eddie Lee who's steered me clear of so many watches that I wanted just because I was excited. When RWG shut down, I tried TRC but found the pace too slow...RWG II was and is my home base. I've seen better improved watches continue to come out...but my fire has also diminished. I'm now working on finalizing mods on the watches I want, but the FUN is gone. I can't stand the newbie crybabies bitching about this and that, why didn't they make this model or use that crown or why hasn't my shipment shown up. I looked as this "hobby" of ours was just like the other hobbies I enjoy...collecting cigars, single malts, fine tequila and wine...these are hobbies i've loved for 2 decades and i'm sure i will continue to love. We have an amazing community of amazing people...people who genuinely love the joy of collecting, appreciating the movements, the drive to improve watches...and that's what keeps me here. I'm evaluating my purchases lately...there was a time when I needed every new watch out, always Swiss 7750 if it was offered, but i recently just ordered the B. Evolution in the asian 7750 movement...because i'm starting to recognize that these are reps. I don't have a longing to purchase more gens now although last year, I was going to pick up a gen 111h and a 196. The truth is, this is still a fun hobby, I'll always love watches...maybe not as fun as before but fun enough to keep me coming daily. To have me excited about Chieftang's new AR programs. Excited enough to still irritate the girlfriend who doesn't understand why I'm even on here...I've gone back to RWG I, but it feels like going back to college when you're in your 30s...fun, I remember I had those same silly questions when I was just starting, but don't want to stay... I'm still here and I hope our solid core of members stay here because...we're what makes RWG what it is. It's not the watches because we can get them elsewhere and the internet is getting easier for anyone to have resources and access to what we did not have 2-3 years ago. RWG is what we make out of it.

hey brian: sending off my watches to The Zigmeister to pop these bad boys. when do you need the crystals?

thanks vmena, just ordered my Breitling rubber on black too...your pics look too tempting i had to get it. how's the lume, i'm sending several watches out to The Zigmeister...i may have this superlumed while i'm at it. the AR is good from what i read dave

what size is the correct one for the steelfish? thanks

Glad they are shipping. Just checked with Rob(The Zigmeister) and he hasn't received my 063 datewheel yet...any word if you are sending it to him or if it's enroute? i have 6 more watches i'm sending to The Zigmeister with chieftang's cyclops, so please let me know. thanks mark!

Hey Brian, Stoked your doing another run, haven't checked the boards but you can count me in for: VC overseas IWC INGE IWC INGE CHRONO PAM 187 PAM 196(are these double AR?)...if not, scratch. PAM 063(are these double AR?)...if not, scratch. Breitling Bentley GT IWC GST what's the time frame, i'll contact rob to pop these bad boys off. thanks chief! dave

Just got tracking on 3/19, accepted in Taiwan on 3/22, coming soon. I'm sure everyone's shipments are enroute. I keep in mind that Eddie Murphy works with his associates in Taiwan who handle the shipping aspects for him. I know if they lag, it's a reflection on Fast Eddie but let's not forget...this is an EDDIE LEE EXCLUSIVE. If every dealer had this watch and every dealer was making lightning fast deliveries, I too would be anxious...and this is no mythical "unicorn" watch, it exists and members are getting them daily...and so will I in the next few days.

I CANNOT wait for your watch to arrive to end this whole IWC saga. What a mindless new thread, are you kidding? Nobody cares...

Damn... I was on the fence, almost sent 6-10 but wasn't sure how it would turn out. Hoping Chieftang sets up another run soon.

Chieftang, I will be paypaling for mine tomorrow! Responding from my mobile. Thanks for putting this together for all of us, I know it's a [censored] to put something together and people not come through. I'm sure more members will follow up, I'm just checking the posts since I got your PM.

I just got a postcard from Eddie who's enjoying a nice fat ribeye steak in Buenos Aires with some cute latinas. He's decided to give up on his life of beer and bitches...and watches of course, and secretly fund Britney Spears new upcoming album. He wants everyone to view the IWC thread everyday and book reservations at his new restaurant venture with Bobby Flay. All exciting stuff... A couple whiners has everyone in an uproar...it's so silly, tricks are for kids.
