With all my crystals off at Chief's getting AR, it gives me a chance to wear watches that normally sit in the box unloved, such as this one:
@sub: Nice strap combo!
My first PVD PAM (DSN 195) showed up in the mail today so that's what was on my wrist most of the day. Wearing the BK Sub tonight.
@TA8088: Nice 195.....Mine is too glossy!

Damn!!!! I haven't laughed so hard for awhile!!!! Thanks for that!
-
Why do that instead of just buying a Bond like the two I have on the Black Sub and the GMT....cost? $12 each!
Not unless you have Nato straps laying around unused, then I understand the project!

We will all miss "the Son of a Bitc$" - as he would say!
Good riddance George!!!!

Here's what promotersf, deltatahoe, and myself are kicking off the week with. Pic from our mini-GTG tonight. This is a very very ironic pic for an RWG GTG.
Unfortunately, lighting was absolutely horrible for pics and this is the only one that's presentable.
Looks more like a Paneresti GTG!
What could be more American than that?
I completely agree! A sportsman's watch!

It's Asian Copy ETA! If it's true! If that don't blow you away, check this SFSO Heritage for $44.99:

We could say bye, bye to the cartel........but I doubt it!

Wow! Great Job!
-
These shots make me realize the SOH is A: Huge - YES!, and B: very interesting in that color - Yes!! Enjoy.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The Football watch!
Doesn't that remind you of a football! -
Holy smokes... That thing is HUGE!!
Yes ubi, it is! I think they have lanikai's wrist size when they designed this model
! And the strap is very stiff. Needs a major break-in period! -
Well, I finally decided to try this on, so Monday is a good start!
and then this for Tues.
Have a great week everyone!
-
I got this at the same time as the Brown Heritage:
With the Heritage - size comparison:
It feels pretty Solid! Nice case finish! The rubber strap feels very soft and probably comfortable (Not worn it yet) as compared to my BR03-94!
Inner rotating dial ala IWC Costeau, very smooth! The movement is typical Asian 21J. Very rough to adjust the date! The crown and tube could
be easily stripped if you're not carefull in screwing it in! I had to try it a few times before I finally was able to screw it in.....so be very carefull
on this if you plan to get one!
Enjoy, Hike

in order to tell the difference in dial color between gen and rep the pics need to be taken by the same camera at the same settings/light conditions. also, pics of the gen may have been processed.
I know, but what I could remeber from the GEN when I was @Torneau Vegas, it was dark brown and not reddish brown! The dial specially! I just looked at it again and it's still
Reddish Brown!!!
-
I notice the fit, too!
Here's some right fitting one's:
-
Not my cup of tea. Not necessarily the color but the watch in general.
Maybe a mesh bracelet would help.
Nice pictures.
The Gen color
@Lance
Thanks.....that right there bothers me....I mean the color doesn't seem to match the GEN! I might have to visit an AD again to check it out!
That leather strap looks pretty good, is that the one that came with it? when i say good it loos like leather rather than plastic that a lot of the rep crock look like@Fxr
That's the leather strap that it came with. Me, too is impressed! It feels good, kinda similar to Panatime and Waccex!
Thanks for the pics Hike !!.. I beleive this one will grow on you.. looks good..Live Strong and Wear it Well...
@Lani
You're welcome! I hope so, Brah!
Wow, that dial color is really unique!Enjoy thie excellent rep my friend!
@BT
I guess it looks unique koz it does not seem to match the GEN......bummer!
Very nice indeed, the brown looks really rich...This watch is my current fave, my (ihc) rollie GMT II ceramic looks kinda small and puny next to it and consequently has had zero wrist time...@asi
Thanks! Is this the same one you have?
So far, it seems that you folks are not bothered by the color. The bezel is okay, but the dial..........???? I'm not sure!
The quality of the watch and its build is amazing, though! The movement adjustments (date, minutes and hours) is pretty smooth! The leather strap as I said is good! Overall, I'll give it an 8 out of 10. If it grows on me and I decide to wear it, I'll try and test the Water Resistancy! I'm planning to get a rubber strap for it!
-
Well, it's been two days and the love hasn't grown yet~! For some reason, I'm enjoying the BR02 this morning more than the SOH! Anyone out there looking for one? PM me!
You know when your love grows on a new watch you can't take it off for at least a week?????, I'm not getting that on this one!
This is not a review, Lanikai did that already here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...amp;hl=heritage
It's a Pictorial:
On the close-up....it's more of reddish brown and I wonder if its the same as the Gen. This is exactly how it looks to me!
My feelings???? To be honest, I don't know. I'm mor ambivalent than anything else! I'm not disappointed, but I thought I would put
it on and won't take it off for a long time.........I didn't get that feeling!
Maybe it will grow on me! We'll see! If not.......it's going FS soon!
Thanks for looking!

I can appreciate LPs, but the only way I listen to music at the moment is MP3, as my other equipment is in storage
Hi TeeJay!
How's the other side of the pond! Hope alls well with you, mate! Talk of these TTs and Tube amps reminds me of my Dad when we were growing up!
He used to have a massive collection of vinyl! I wished we kept his audio components and vinyl!
Cheers mate!

Is this watch new? Send it back and let them worry about it. You might end up scewing it up!
Just my 2 cents!

Still, the best watch store I've ever been to is Torneau in Las Vegas. It is a split level store that is literally 20 times bigger than the one in Aventura (it's the self-proclaimed biggest watch store in the world). Vegas in general is watch paradise. That's where I saw my first Glashutte and many other exquisite watches I've not seen anywhere else.
Been there last month, and yup, amazing place! It's heaven for us who love watches. I got out of there with brochures and catalogs of PAM, Breitling, IWC, Montblanc, Rolex and Chopard. The lady at the IWC booth even give me two new IWC Magazines! She was sweet and with some kind of European accent! The Panerai booth didn't have a lot of models (watches, Lani, Watches!!!), though!
What was strange to visit was the Ferrari Store at the Wynn's Casino, you won't find any Panerai made Ferrari watches out there!
Wierd!

My beater:

Yeah... Blue ray is the coolest !!! .... using a play station (cheaper instead of the Blueray player itself) .... jus finished a 01 Partagas Lucitania..mmmmm .. tomorrow then !!
Salamat Po !!

Damn, Brah! Even in electronics, we think the same......PS3 rocks~! Have you hooked up a USB hard drive to it yet? I did a 750Gig and now I have all my music collection,
pictures and video in one multimedia player! BTW: I have the latest 40 Gig Model! I don't play games, so I didn't care for the backward compatibility!
You hooked it up to an HDMI reciever and 1080P TV or projector? If you did, it's sweet! I have an old Denon 5800 with no HDMI, so I hooked it up via FiberOptic for sound
and HDMI staight to a Sanyo Z2000 projector and shot to a 124" screen! With 8 Sorrounds speakers and 2 Subs, It's like being in a Theater, but I could take a break without
missing a scene!
Ok Amigo......we're getting off track here (electronic gears get me excited just like watches!
), You're probably in dreamland by this time.....so dream away! I'll be heretrying to get BC so that I don't check for the mailman every so often!

OK.. grey sand not ours... and the bums are not tanned enough.. but I can imagine light tan lines
looking forward (again I'll say) to your pics.. I hope you feel as much "passion" for shots of the Heritage as you do these pics....
P.S. ... i hope therapy helped you to get away from hangin at the local high schools...
The beach is better....at least you don't go to jail for staring!!!!Aloha my friend! Time to finish my Margarita and Cohiba and then hit the Home Theater and watch 10,000BC! This BluRays are
getting me hooked/glued to my screen at night! Good thing I'm off tomorrow! Hope to catch you in the A.M.
Enjoy your sun while we have the moon right now! I'll stare at it till my Cohiba's gone!
Mabuhay!!!

HDD Media Player advice
in The looney bin
Posted
You should have bought a PS3! 40 Gig HD and a Blu Ray/DVD with upconverting (one of the best) processor or chip! You could also connect an external USB HDD that you want + HDMI output!
$399~!
