  1. Unique........for sure! A collector's item!
  2. Do you mean six days??? Six weeks is too long from China to LA! This is a commonly stocked model with most of our dealer!
  3. Thanks, Dude~! You started it and it ended my way! Have a Merry White Christmas! I'm still digging out!
  4. This beast have been passed around as it started with a dead movement and nobody seems to want it! Got it from one of our members who owned it last and I sent it to Mr. Vac for service and now it's back to it's proper form: In Rubber: The Swiss 6497 redux: Different lighting: Some Lume shots: My Sincere Thanks to Vaccum for a very quick turn-around time and an excellent job! Thanks J! Hike!
  5. Dude! I'm a big fun of the ROO! But cut down on the attitude and read the Forums etiquette!~! We don't condone showing off our REPs to ADs! That's just the way it goes, but of course no one could stop you! RWG doesn't really have a REP/AD Police Patrol....... ,, yet~! The Admin was trying to hire lani, but he's too busy doing he's reviews and what not! Chill out and Have a Happy Holiday! BTW: I can't wait for your pics!
  6. Hi RWG members and Admin! Through the year, we
  7. You gotta be $hittin me? It's friggin -10 with -35 windchill where I'm at! I hate winter!
  8. Have you checked the crown rubber o rings! I put two on mine and that made it tight! I believe it needs two! My DSN 217 have two in it!
  9. Hey TJ! That's a wicked Fiddy! Have you tried doing the plastic glue mod on the CG lever? It's pretty easy, but you need to have a plastic heat glue gun that looks like this: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_0...%26+Glue+Sticks What you do is remove the CG and punch out the lever, then put a drop of the heated/melted plastic on the hole on the lever and using a paper clip, push it thru the hole! Make sure you push enough of it to go thru the other side! Let it cool hard and slowly wiggle the paper clip to loosen it, using a box cutter blade, cut any excess glue around the bottom clip and pull it out gently. Once it's all out, trim any excess glue and put it back on the CG and put the metal pin thru using a watchsmith hammer, plastic side if you have that one! Viola! Tight as a Virgen! Good luck! F
  10. I woke up to these this morning: So I let snow white out to play:
  11. We'll take care of your brothers and ex, too! Hehehe! Don't worry, we're all neutered males here! And since Victoria left us, maybe you could take her place! She was somethin else and we missed her so much! Thing is, she just disappeared......puffffff, gone! And she was full of wit, humor, knowledge about watches and everything else! So, Amy.......you have a big shoes to fill! But don't feel pressured! We welcome your input and ideas from the other side! Hike
  12. No worries! You'll get better! You should see my first shots~! I, too love this watch! It's my #1 Favorite! Wear in good health! Hike!
  13. I couldn't agree more! At home,this is it for me:
  14. Let me help you out with the pictures:
  15. If you could wear an AP ROO, you could wear this watch! IMO! AP ROO with bracelet, that is!
  16. Somebody has to get this and hopefully compare it to a GEN! I have the AP Band Strap for it!
  17. or the AP ROO Volcano that just came out?
  18. So you have the faux chronos?
  19. ROLEX 1958 OYSTER GMT-Master "First Model" Case Only. Worn by Pussy Galore in the James Bond movie "Goldfinger" - Circa: 1958 ( III.1958 ) And how is he going to prove that? Or did I miss something?
  20. Welcome to RWG and Happy Holidays! I reckon by now you probably have started searching and reading! There's tons of info here, all you have to do is find it! It's like Google, but just watches.......or some smitterins of other relevant and irrelevant stuff! But mostly good info! As what have been said already, all the dealers listed here are good sources, but they're people, too and have their own quirks and styles and personality, so what could be an excellent source for me might be not acceptable to you! Me in particular only buy from one source, after trying a few, because he give me the most satisfaction in customer service, quick turn around, excellent after sales support and no primadonna complex! So, goodluck and enjoy the ride! Just an advance warning, Pretty soon this will turn into a hobby......and after that, an addiction! What that means is a deep pocket, an understanding partner, if you have one and plenty of self control! Hike
  21. Still wearing this today: But will switch to this tomorrow for a break:
  22. Hi Alex! First welcome to RWG! Sorry to hear about your AP ROO movement problem! I have a few of those and so far, so good! We've been thru your quandary before we found this place! If you had dealt with your dealer before and he is a standup guy, I would send it back to him to be repaired! Our dealers here would fix it with no problems! If you decide to have it done outside of your dealer, our resident expert on your type of movement, ASIA 7750 is The Zigmeister! He could fix that with no problem......, but the problem is would he have time to do it! You mite wanna post a request for him! I don't think you could PM him being new and all! DO a search, too on service and repair and I'm pretty sure you'll find some excelletn info! Good luck and again, Welcome! This is a good place to stay! Hike!
  23. Week of Office Christmas parties and what better to wear than the Red Flat 6:
