  1. When you remove the crowns (and stem) from the movement, which way should it be; winding position? Date Adjust position? or Hour Adjust position??? I leave it at the winding position ang I've been having problems putting it back on ETA2836 and their Asian counterpart.... Is ther anything I'm doing wrong???? It works fine with the 6497, Swiss or Asian.....I have not tried it on the Chronos or 7750s. Is there a trick to doing this? Please advise and thanks!
  2. I guess I've been lucky, all the Rolexes I have from Joshua (Subs/GMT/YM/ExplorerII), SFSO Asian, Non Chrono PAMS and Ferrari 08, and Chopard GTXL Asian have all been in water (shower/swimming/jacuzzi/turkish bath) and made it with no problems! I have since opened all of them and greased the caseback and crown/tube o-rings. I have two Radiomirs from TTK that I did the same and so far have been fine in water. Look here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...hl=torture+test On the other hand, I learned not to trust the Chrono models! I made the mistake of wearing my Navitimer TT and PAM 253 in the shower and regeretted doing it.....they've been serviced since, so they're ok, but that's the last time I'll wear a Chrono in water, except the Ferrari 08....that thing is build like a tank!
  3. Add this to your list: hxxp://www.pc-80108.com/ That's Joshua's site......Of all the dealers I've dealt with, he's the best......just my personal opinion, after 24 purchases!
  4. The fake trade or industry will not stop as long as the Gen makers produce them in God Forsaken prices....and us lowly people would love to own what our rich brothers and sisters have! It's the law of supply and demand...and the producers with their governments' tacit support are exploiting it! Not that there's anything wrong with that! Everyone has to eat!
  5. I'll second that!..... ....well, maybe until midweek!
  6. Hi Zigg! I think we're all speechless....I'm no expert, but that looks like a beautiful collectible!
  7. I'm sorry to hear that, Pizza-man! That's a bummer! What a same! How could have that happen, I wonder! Well, at least you have a watch.....u said ur keeping it, rt?
  8. Sub, how good is the waterproofing? And is it on a 28,800 7750, rt?
  9. Bumped! Some of our friends are missing this topic!
  10. I'm gay! II'm straight! Damn!!!! Now I'm confused!!!! I'm gonna have a talk with my Mom again................
  11. It's hard to read TTK's watches, so I think I'll wear this tomorrow: and I thought I should beat @DemonSlayer to it:
  12. That's what I'm talking about! Now I'm officially gay!
  13. Thanks The Zigmeister! Now I'm more Gentle with my Chronos now! The Rollies seems to take it with no problems......I think they have a clutch on them or something....I've been winding my Yathy 50 times at one time koz I was regulating it and let it set for a day and it seems to take it... This is probably true with non-7750 automatics.....please someone correct me on this if I'm wrong!
  14. Thanks for the update! Mine was supposedly shipped according to TTK's post date Jan. 30, 2008: "ALREADY SHIPPED.....MORE TO FOLLOW IN THE DAYS TO COME.......SORRY I'VE NOT BEEN MORE ACTIVE IN POSTING,.....BEEN DOWN WITH THIS BLUDDY FLU THAT'S GOIN' ABOUT.......!

Unfortunately, I'm not one of them......still waiting!
  15. Please let us know when you recieve your's, thanks!
  16. These are the one's I've got from TTK (although I can't recommend him due to bad experience): This is suppose to be a Pam 197, but it doesn't have the correct dial, with the BOB Shark strap: with my own made strap: This is the Gen: and here's the other model I got from him, this is a Fantasy Black Seal, the Gen is SS: and both of them: This is suppose to have the new plating process ala PVD according to TTK. You could check my Test here of the 197: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...hl=torture+test I still wear it until now and still ticking! The movement are both Asian copy, but I'm impressed with it. It's been accurate to -+ 10-20secs/day. The power reserve is about 48 hours! Hope that helps! BTW: Josh does not carry the 197 anymore, maybe the other dealer does! You have to get it with the Tuxedo dial koz as far as I'm concerned, it's what give this particular model its character!
  17. How I wish he had QC'ed this one before he shipped it!:
  18. Either that or the picture was from last year!
  19. What do you mean I'm Gay....that's me, the cowboy! Haven't you seen my other movie???? Brokeback somethin, somethin????
  20. You want it more interesting? Read the History of the Mormons!!! It will blow you away.....not that there's anything wrong with it Some guys might actually join the "other" Mormon Sect!
