Oh so he sells guitars too? Maybe those were air guitars.

Gen on left? They are very close, and I am guessing based on dial font and crown.

Before it is deleted, because I am not supposed to.. so be quick. And remember you did not get it from me. Whats that? This is a public forum? Oh sorry my bad.

Don't worry.. one day, this shall be repped.

Good taste, but no good rep of the Royal Oak Chrono exists for now.

Congrats A! You are an active member who has contributed to the forum growth meaningfully, and have always shared your knowledge humbly. I remember that you are always polite and cordial, even to relatively newbies like me. It has been my honor to make your acquaintance sir. You are a member who truly possess class and poise.

Yes mate, ebay has several 18mm buckles in all sorts of finishes. They would fit the ROO nicely. I know, because I ordered quite a few off the bay. Alternatively, you can try changing to a diver, GP or an aftermarket strap with a 24mm buckle end and fit a diver buckle.

SSteel I'm not a watchmaker but thanks for the heads up. I won't deal with him for any member sales either. What a jackass. Sent from Mars using tapatalk

Actually, can I know whether you are looking for the endlinks-case screws (set of 4) or the endlinks-strap bar and cap set? (set of 2) I just ordered a complete set from Ryan so I know he has them.

Take it easy mate, we were just teasing. It was a reference between panerai153 and myself regarding a lot of ungrateful noobs who log on, ask, and disappear. Good luck with your search!

Yes sir big A. I was teasing him but you have a good understanding of the scenario. There's a severe lack of common politeness going around. Let's resolve not to fall into this group brother. Sent from Mars using tapatalk

I'm curious mate. Why're you doing a catch and release? Sent from Mars using tapatalk

hamiltonleather@gmail.com. Also, may I kindly suggest you edit the post you made about his straps being x mm wide at the lugs and buckle? I actually know what happened there. He is a strapmaker here and if you have any problems with him, PM is the way to communicate, as a way of courtesy. Don't make his craftsmanship and products look bad, especially if you are going to seek his help. Makes sense?

First post, no intro, and asking for help already? Well you could PM ryanwayer and ask for what you need. And if me and my pal who posted above do not get a thank you from you, you can be assured you get no further help from me.

Try emailing him instead? I was just having a chat with him through email last Saturday.

Thank you A. As far as I remember, when the phone of someone I was dialing was switched off, it would likely divert to a pre-recorded message telling me that the phone was switched off or out of range of coverage. I have no idea that it would continue to "ring". I do believe that the plane was hijacked in some way, but as mentioned, this would really require an elaborate plan, taking into account the number of people involved, many of them Chinese. If you have seen how the Chinese behave at airports when there were delays or events displeasing to them in any way, you would know what a daunting task that would be. We, as outsiders planted safely on the ground with our loved ones, have the luxury to speculate and guess and wonder. I just hope that the mystery gets solved soon, if nothing else, it would serve as a painful lesson for the aviation industry globally. If this incident is, or suspected to be a result of hijacking or an act of terrorism, security at airports and on flights might soon be at an unprecedented high level since 911.

If plane was hijacked as per the latest theory, AJ, then it was planned very elaborately. But to what ends? Till now, no statements have been issued by any entity claiming to have hijacked the plane, nor have any demands been made in the same manner. We can only hope that the crew and passengers are still safe, though a little hope is lost each day that there are no news..

Yes I read about this too. I got my doubts about what the aviation experts said however. It does not explain the purported "still ringing" phones of some of the passengers when contact was attempted, assuming it was true. Also, I think that if the plane hit the water, a lot of the debris would float and be discovered. Up till today, no debris from MH370 has been found despite the intensive scouring of the seas that it could have crashed into.

It has been more than a week since the aircraft mysteriously vanished, and the suspected reasons and circumstances surrounding the vanish has changed each day, from midair disintegration to sabotage to hijack to the more tabloid accounts of alien abduction. Till now, no official explanation has been given, even with the intervention and assistance rendered by experts from so many countries, including good ol' Uncle Sam. If this was a sabotage attempt, I would have to say that it was well-planned and meticulously executed, and leaves so many top minds in the field scratching their heads. And what is the intent of the people who did this? I can simply hope that the passengers and crew are still alive and that they would somehow, somehow, get out of whatever situation they are in and be home one day. Are any of you following the news, and what do you guys think? Unless it was part of a David Copperfield magic show, it is next to impossible to have an aircraft vanish without a trace these days without the benefit of even a bread crumb trail.

and I am very proud of you, either way, my superstar-to-be friend

Here's to my friend, who is allegedly blind, but who sees more of the world than most of us ever have. If I had a hat, I'll take it off to you mate.

I do not remember the genuine offshore bracelet coming with the blue film protective cover. I have viewed them at the service center before when I brought my watch for service. But I could be wrong about this detail. That last picture in the series, showing the bracelet on the black themes, seems to me a to be highly dubious. a. The watch picture is truncated. Background is just a uniform white. The picture looks lifted off the net. But if so, why pick a pic showing such bad fitting endlinks? Makes no sense b. The number of links bracelet in the picture is not the same as the number of links on the other pics. Of cos, assuming that its the same bracelet, it could easily be resized to fit the wearer. Which means, that the blue film in the other pictures, which are put there to suggest that the bracelet is unworn, becomes a deliberate attempt to mislead the buyer. c. Yes endlink fit is terrible. But I have seen imperfect fitting on a genuine bracelet/gen watch combination. Perhaps there is a batch difference? I would not buy the bracelet as genuine. Seller has a few negative feedback arising from product misrepresentation. Offer $75 for it if you want to buy it (docthor, look here ) It is very highly unlikely that this is a genuine offshore bracelet. This bracelet is as real as Britney Spear's live singing talent.

Hmm, there are several inaccuracies on this dial compared with the Noob ones (panda and DLC), which I covered in a separate thread and through PMs with some friends. I have put off purchasing this watch because there would be an update to the dial. Having said that, don't let it put you off. On the wrist this would be a beauty, and the mostly black dial would make the flaws inconspicuous unless you know what to look for, which the majority of John Q Public would not. Wear her well, and enjoy the watch.

I was just teasing you in a good natured way, and I do apologize sincerely if you take offense. By the way, welcome to RWG my fellow Singaporean member!
