  1. Very well said ... I share your sentiment. Cheers
  2. I am with Ms V on the top end price of $400. I would add that the $300 mark will get you a good rep too. Cheers
  3. Ferrari Chrono in rose gold - it is amazing
  4. Sssurfer may be on to something. My father used to get a rash from wearing his Rolex Datejust and it was from the nickel in the stainless steel that he was allergic to. He used to wear the watch tight on his wrist but eventually found that wearing it loosely helped to minimize the allergic response albeit did not completely prevent them. I wish you well on this. Cheers CNN,com article on nickel allergy
  5. Very impressive photography skills and of course the watches are top drawer. I especially like the pics of the TT Navitimer and the IWC engineer. Cheers
  6. I am with Lord Rasta - number one is the keeper. Very nice choice of Rolex ... the Air-King ... wrist shot is in order. Enjoy
  7. I think you should be patient and give it another week. While, under two weeks is the norm, delays occur and it is your bad fortune to experience one. Good luck with it.
  8. Determined Exhibitionist Repeatedly Moons Canadian Morning Show This reminds me of the the nonsensical humor of my youth - situational comedy that appears spontaneously.
  9. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest sympathy. The loss of a young life is tragic; it is the loss of all that might have been. I will offer a prayer for your friend. This is a time to mourn and no words can sooth this kind of pain though I share this poem by W.H. Auden. Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead. Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods; For nothing now can ever come to any good. W.H. Auden

  11. Almost all solid kt white gold jewelery including watches are plated with a platinum alloy - Rhodium is commoly used. Without doing this the white gold will appear its true color in a brown/grey hue rather than the lusterous white that it is desired. So, plating with white gold will not get you to where you want to be. Cheers
  12. My apology. I did not intend to out you or cause you discomfort. I intended the question only in a generic way and was looking for a general answer such as a "Baronet" or "Knight" et alii. It was my bad form to be so forward. Cheers
  13. It is 21mm at the lugs on the rep strap. I replaced the rep strap with a 22mm gen mat alligator in darker brown. I picked it up on eBay - was a gen Montblanc. For me the darker brown alligator is the only way to go. But I am a fiend for genuine alligator straps on my watches. - Cheers
  14. I believe that it is an Angels staff ring presented to employees. It is solid 14k yellow gold with plenty of real diamonds. It has big presence. It weighs in at 22 grams and has a person's name engraved on the inside of the band. It looks like a Balfour or Jostens make. It was a gift from my wife and children and they purchased it online from a sports memoribilia place. Cheers
  15. Here is my take on watch and jewelery - Cheers
  16. Arktos - It is a watch with a great presence. Enjoy
  17. Amazing what kind of resources are available for the watch lover.
  18. Dutchy it is Friday and I will have a dram or two for you - wish you well my friend - perhaps you my want to hoist a few too. Cheers
  19. For me - a couple of hundred thousand give or take
  20. Great works seems like a real understatement but great work. Also, thanks for the lesson on photographing lume. I did not know a thing about the affect of exposure time and the appearance of the the glow until now. Thanks
  21. For this deserving cause I am in at $175 - Cheers
  22. You have written a great review - congratulation on your new acquisition - enjoy it. - Cheers
