  1. I didn't think I'll see this till after Thanksgiving......Sead sent me the tracking yesterday......and then I saw the mail Lady coming with a package on her hand.....and I thought no way????

     

    I signed for it....she handed it to me.....and my heart sunk......really low! Down low! I thought like...."what the phuck???" No way....was someone playing a joke on me? Not April fools yet?

     

    Did it got stolen? The package was so light......6oz maybe....I ripped the cover with blade so fast, I was afraid I was gonna cut myself! But there it was, triple bubble wrapped.....inside two 

    plastic sleeves. Fresh out of the factory, you could still smell the $hit from the assemblers fingers......

    So off I go and give it a good toothbrushing.....and here's the beauty......this BTW is a pictorial review koz I'm gonna shut up now and let the pictures do the talking:

    I'm blown.....this is so close! I've perused the live one @a boutique @the magnificent mile in downtown Chicago.....and the weight, case, dial, you name it......sooooooo goddamnnnnn close!

     

    The crowns are buttery smooth. Opens and closes with no effort. Time and bezel adjustments are smooth. First watch I got OTB that I was 101% satisfied!

     

    For those who wants it, get in touch with Sead.......he's got it....and he's a no nonsense TD!

     

    THANKS a lot SEAD for a flawless transaction and a SUPER FAST Delivery! 3 days is crazy fast in my book!

     

    Hope the pictures will make your decision......if you could nit pick, go right ahead, we would like to know what you'll find!

     

    Thanks for looking!

  2. Yup! It's a hit or miss, but I had two that quit! Our friend actually tried to fix them two, got one back but the RubberClad is still with him. Most recommended fix is Graphite treatment and that seems to work for some, but not all.

    The best I think is a jewel upgrade. Domi or Francisco in EU I believe have a fix.....So far the Tour Auto that MD serviced is working fine, but the RubberClad quit after a week.

  3. I use a Quad Processor 2 year old Dell Desktop with 16 Gigs of RAM that still kick ass. I installed a Samsung EVO 520GIG SSD 2 months ago and now it boots up in 30 secs flat. Photoshop CS6 loads in under a minute. I'm running WIN7 Ultimate. All Apps are loaded on the SSD and all data are somewhere else. It's kinda my MultiMedia system. Like you, I have CS6 full package and I transfer all my DVD movies to my UPnP server and stream it to all the TVs and BlueRay players in the house.

  4. Go with a tablet if you just browse and socialize. Check Lenovo's web site, they're having some nice sale going on with their notebooks and tablets. If Lenovo is not your 

    brand, shop at Amazon, they cover all brands!

     

    My recommendation:

     

    Android Tablet (for speed and beautiful screen): Samsung Note 10.1 2014 (own both this and last year's) Get a refurb at Amazon of last years model if you don't care about the latest and the greatest and also to save some about a $100.

    Apple IPAD Air is also stunning if you're into IPADs. I just bought and tested one to gift to the kids for Xmas.

    Android Phone: Samsung S4 for Speed and Screen, but now superceded by Nexus 5 with KitKat (own both)

    Windows 8.1 - I got both the Dell Pro and the Microsoft Surface RT. If you want to run Windows standard software, go with th Pro, otherwise go with RT. Lenovo has a good sale on their Convertible RT right now for $299. Windos 8.1

    is a lot better than 8. 

     

    Hope that helps,

  5. Well I've had the H-Fac and now have the V3. The cases are identical and perfect. No cracks, durable and lovely!

    Tried to send you a PM, but your box is full, so her it is:

    "Hi there,

     
    You mentioned that you have the H and V3 models, would be kind enough to share your thoughts between the two and which one you think is better quality and build wise? 
    I you could post some side by side pictures, that would be highly appreciated.
     
    Thanks a lot!
