For the rest of the week it will be this one:

I'll second that!.....

....well, maybe until midweek!

24 views and no comments...I guess I'm not the only one that doesn't know a lot about these vintage models.

Hi Zigg! I think we're all speechless....I'm no expert, but that looks like a beautiful collectible!

I received a watch from the group buy but it was not the one I ordered. I ordered a GMT II and received a classic Sub.

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?

Sub, how good is the waterproofing? And is it on a 28,800 7750, rt?

I have two watches, an AP and a Patek, both expensive - took ages to come, and NEITHER ONE RUNS at all... not a tick. No answer to Skype.

Neil obviously has a problem and that's it for me.

Bumped! Some of our friends are missing this topic!

TTK,

I need an update on the Group buy Rolex LV. It's been three weeks since you shipped on Feb 8th.

Thanks!

@TTK

I

I'm gay!

II'm straight!

Damn!!!! Now I'm confused!!!! I'm gonna have a talk with my Mom again................

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:

That's what I'm talking about! Now I'm officially gay!

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!

TTK,

I need an update on the Group buy Rolex LV. It's been three weeks since you shipped on Feb 8th.

Thanks!

At least a tracking # would help!

My DRSD from TTK:

and Sunday, TTK's GMT:

TTK,

Could you let me know where my group buy Rolex LV watch might be at this point? It's 3 weeks after Feb 8th when you said all the watches shipped. I need an update.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update!

I believe 4 or 5 people from this list got there's already! Unfortunately, I'm not one of them......still waiting!

I am also awaiting my 16610 from the group buy. I was not expecting it to ship fast but the wait it quite long at this point. I just hope it arrives at all as I keep hearing stories of items that still havent been delivered from last year! This is my first purchase through TTK.

I have chatted with TTK several times before through Skype and the responses were very timely. This is very surprising to hear that so many are being ignored. I have not attempted to contact him yet since I am still hoping that mine will arrive any day now.

Please let us know when you recieve your's, thanks!

I have this one on order...cannot wait to get it...we all agree that for what we pay for it is a must have rep, even if not be worn regularly...

I wonder why this review isn't pinned!

Which one and which dealer???

Ive been looking for a nice dress watch for myself. I liked the swiss Dewitt but not been able to source a box for that. I love the rose gold panerai's that are offered...just wanted to have everyone's opinion as to which is the best rose gold panerai (swiss movement only), in terms of accuracy which are available. Also how good is the gold plating....

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!

I did understand from Neil that QC of the watches takes a long time and he does not drop-ship.

How I wish he had QC'ed this one before he shipped it!:

Hey, TTK, your camera needs the year changing. It's not 2007 any more.

From EXIF: Original Date/Time = 2007:02:26

Either that or the picture was from last year!

...apart from Die Hard 4 and three seasons of Deadwood?

He was good in Deadwood~!

I LOVE the indian!

And of course, the construction worker. Everyone else looks gay.

What do you mean I'm Gay....that's me, the cowboy! Haven't you seen my other movie???? Brokeback somethin, somethin????

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!

PM me if you want a Golds Gym Hawaii T-top

BT you too..

Hey, I want a GOLDS Gym Hawaii T-Top, too! That's not fair......I'm gonna go tell my Mom!

I ordered the same from him yesterday. Was told that he will be collecting stock on Monday from his supplier. So hoping it will get shipped out soon.

Cheers

Thanks! Keep us posted!

Absolutely awesome However. Battery life and other considerations might mean I might not actually use such a device.

For example. I can listen to MP3s on my phone, but, it drains the battery (quicker than just having it on standby in my pocket) So I use a seperate MP3 player.

But when I'm listening to my MP3 player, it drowns out the phone's ring tone, and I can (and did today) miss a call...

So, what option... Phone, or MP3 player?

This is the kind of 'inflexibility' which could plague such a device. While performing another function, it is incapable of performing the other. Example, you're using it in phone mode, and someone asks you for the time. You look at your wrist, but, there's no watch there, as it's being used as a phone Or you're doing some word-processing, and need to make a call. You can't just pick up a phone, you'd (most likely) have to save what you're doing, and re-configure the device... Flexible, but inflexible for the very reasons that make it 'flexible'

[Edit to add]

To answer the question about phone or MP3 player, my best option would be to use my phone as the MP3 player, and just keep an eye on the charge, and have a seperate MP3 player for use when the phone's battery needs conserving

What phone do you have, Tee? I have the RIM Curve and use the mp3 player for an hour everyday and it still last 3 to 4 days!

Simon also wore a Navitimer the first few weeks of the show....during the audition phase!
