  1. Damn this hobby! It's only May and I bought six watches already: Rolex Vintage Daytona Rolex Retro GMT Rolex NOOB Black SUB PAM Black Seal SS PP Nautilus Brown Dial/Leather IWC ST. Exuperry RG/Brown On the Radar: Breitling SFSO Heritage/Brown and Blue Joshua/Andrew commissioned coming out next month IWC ST. Exuperry SS/Brown Chopard MM GTXXL and still waiting for a DRSD and Pepsi GMT from TTK I'm nuts.....we're all nuts!
  2. Excellent Idea! You could have started a new trend here! Well done, mate!
  3. As a follow-up to this, does this technique apply to the Vintage Daytona 6463?????? After you press the Crystal back in place, how do you make it water resistant?
  4. Ain't that a [censored]! Life's a [censored]! Your neighbor is a [censored]! Sorry to say! But we can't have this mongrels ruin our kindred spirit! They're an exception! Kudos to you and keep on being a nice and decent human being!
  5. You have to be MUFF Diver Certified before you become a Muff Diver! It take's 7 days of intense and constant MUFF Diving Training and PADI does not offer this! I believe Costeau originally was the only certified instructor for this, but out in Hawaii, Lanikai was personally Certified by him! Daily deep immersion is required 3 to 4 times a day at 1 hour each session (be warned - some people develop a rare sensitivity to the Alkaline environment and come up with MUFINITIS!). Every nooks and cranies of the MUFF is shown so that during the certification testing, one could identify all the locations and details of all the important spots that is needed to satisfy the requirements!!! Good luck! BTW: The MUFF Divers WATCH is still under development and will come out as a REP in mid Summer '08!
  6. This morning: Tonight to a wedding: Tomorrow and the rest of next week (will alternate):
  7. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! The TT Blue Navi with matching leather strap is my fav!
  8. Maybe I've been lucky all these years! I never take off any of my watches before I take a shower or work out in the gym or any activity! The only time I take off my watch is when I go to bed! Although there's always an exemption to this rule.....any of my watches that has a leasther strap don't touch water.....and definitely not a Navitimer! And I only swim and dive with screw down crown type watches! Since last year, when I had the guts to open all my Reps and got comfortable doing it, I greaased all their rubber gaskets (crown and caseback) and all the new ones I get! So far, so good!
  9. First to arrive, from Asia (last Mon): Joshua's New Asian Black Sub! 5 days! Same day, Thurs: Radiomir Black Seal SS from one of our Members from Australia......ajoesmith! 10 days! Rollie GMT Retro from one of our members here in North America (US)......omeega! 6 Days! Thanks to all guys!!! Will definitely do business with you guys anytime! I highly recommend these folks....watches came as described and as promised! I greased all rubber gaskets and all are ready for some diving this summer. Ajoesmith, I have to put the diver's strap on your Navy Seal for that purpose, sorry! Just one more from another OZ member: stormtrooper.....Brown Dial PP Nautilus! Should be here next week!
  10. Hi Vik! Good to hear you're back! We missed you a lot! RWG is not the same without you! It's like having a Banana Split without the Banana! Hope you had a great vacation and got a good TAN! Don't forget the pictures....we need to see those happy FACES!!!! and pool shots! Bentornato!
  11. Everyone well wear a REP if they find out about our little SECRET~! Hush!
  12. Depends on where you are and the current produce market...sometimes a Lemon could cost more than a Banana!
  13. Lord! Here's a YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eSAyCtCPSU&hl=en
  14. Here's my clothing/watch rule: with suits: gold or TT (TT SUB/Cartier Santos TT/ Gold Radiomir/RG IWC Saint/RG MB) Casual/Jeans: Any SS watch would do and most of the time I match the dial with my shirt color! I like to wear my Blue dial TT Navitimer (sometimes GEN TT Blue SUB) with blue jeans/white Tommy Bahama shirt/blue leather Cole Haan driving shoes and I'm 73 years old!
  15. PM teejay and asked him, he's UK based and a super nice guy!
  16. If you get bored again and want to get rid of that piece, you let me know! .................awesome!
  17. Andrew's XMas Rollie/SUB specials (The ones from last Dec. 07) were a dud, as far as I'm concerned! I oredered a Black and a YM and both of them are inaccurate (+5-8 mins/day) and hard to regulate that I gave up! Now, Joshua's current cheap models are a diff. story! I got one of his $110 Black Subs last Sun (which he shipped last Wed, 4/9) and its been on the dot since! Much better quality on the outside, too!
  18. Contact Silex and request for cross shipping as suggested.....I'm pretty sure he'll agree to it as some of the trusted dealers here do! Shipping to return is on you, sorry to say! But, maybe he'll work it out with you on your next order! As The Zigmeister said, if you haven't opened a watch before, you might as well not or you could end up with a bad Trophy of your mis-adventure!
  19. It don't matter wether you purchase a REP directly from China or buying any goods Stateside......you're still buying Chinese! So what's the difference?????? You're just cutting the middle, middlemen!
  20. The one's coming from Joshua is pretty fast! He sent me an order Wed. of last week and I got it last Sun.! The one before that took five days! I thought that was fast! Sorry Pho.....that's about the same time as when your's left China!
  21. I don't think you'll find any decent reps in Pinas! China or Thailand is the place! On the other hand, if good time is what you're looking for, then you're in the right place.....have fun instead......, but, hey, if you actually do find them there, please share it with us! I'll be visiting end of the year!
