    I love your photos Hike.

    In fact, to be straight, I didn't realise you took such great shots untill recently.

    Keep them coming!

    That Blak steel is fantastic indeed...

    @Stephane....thanks :victory: ! I appreciate the positive comments!

    Cold Turkey is tough.... :pardon:

    :cry2::cry2::cry2:

    You can always tear apart a few, put the bits in a pile, then draw out at random and build a few "interesting" watches! ;-)

    @jmb......you're such a bad influence.................................. :bangin::bicycle:

    All the watches are looking sharp, bro, but the Blacksteel really suits you :good::drinks:

    Thanks, Amigo! Now I have to give each one of them ample wrist time!

    Thank you for your kind words F :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    It was a sweet transaction indeed and you are such a fun

    guy to deal with bro :good:

    And as TJ said that Blacksteel is :Jumpy::wub:

    I replace the bracelet, greased all the rubber o-rings, and give it the once over toothbrush/toothpaste treatment!

    Thanks,

    Hike, noticed your yaller ball. Does yours have that fukuwhatever chicken on the other side like mine does! ;) I finally had to use my "real" case back wrench. I was gonna grease the seals in the wife's Ladies Datejust before I gave it to her and I guess there wasn't enough area for the sticky-ball to grab onto. I ordered one of those counterfeit Buergeon (sp?) case back wrenches and it took damn near a month to get it, then she wouldn't part with the watch 'cause she was afraid I'd break it! But, finally did it this evening...

    Nah! Just a generic one from Ofrei! Only case opener I have! I use it for every watch!

    Bah, it's only 200 miles! Piece-o-cake. :tu: Now will someone please chip the ice off my eyelids so I can blink?

    nome2.jpg

    That's what I thought.....you must be built like a Yeti to do this ride! but sounds like fun! Something I'd like to do if I live there!

    My Boss in the USAF used to race the Iditarod every efffing year and I regretted not going with him at least once~! I was young and a pussy then. The most adventure I did then was ice fishin up in Holter Lake, Montana and shootin at Bambi and some wild turkeys~! :pardon:

    Oh....and this is what we do in the Midwest now........

    You gotta watch it, koz if you eat too much Lake Michigan Salmon, you turn into a fish head!

  21. Let's see your Rolex-only collection!

    Lookin' good, Hike! Your latest Daytona is similar to my idolreplicas Daytona except mine has arabic numbers instead of stick-markers. I think the red on black dial scheme is dyno-mite albeit kinda hard to see in low light.

    TeeJay, thanks! When you average about $45 per Sub you can get a whole sack-full of 'em for just a wee bit of money! :lol:

    :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Got this Tona with a Serviced Movement......
