WM9 Yacht-Master again ... seems that it will not leave my wrist ... thanks to BK

I don't think that left your wrist since I've known you, my friend! You're always the big YM fan! I still

have the one I got from you!

Cheers buddy and have a Very Christmas to you and your family!

F-

Excellent find, Pete! Now modders have a good reference pictures! Whoever took those shots is a PRO!

BTW: Do you have MS Office? It comes with a free Picture Manager that you can use for minor editing including re-sizing!

Here's mine:

Christmas week Hump Day deserves something special:

AP ROO Navy for me:

2 days before Christmas!

Got myself an AP ROO Navy and my oldest son a Rolie SSD with Swiss Eta!

Hike, that is bad ass just like your avi.

Thanks!

Radiomir Marina Militare:

On Distressed leather:

On Diver's rubber:

Thanks all! Glad 'ya all like it! It took a lot of trips and different degree of temperature settings and length of time to finally come up with that color! Can't get the hands to match due to the lume treatment on it, but I think it came out well done!

Now gotta try different strap combo!

Rock on RWG!

I have not been here long but in a short time I have seen some great watches, I mean really great. Some are mentioned above. But to be honest these have been styles and looks I already liked and enjoyed.

But today I saw a very simple modification to a watch style I use to dislike, until today that is.... That is Hikes final project of the year in the GD forum.

For me it gets my vote because it showed me that with a little simple ingenuity you can change the average into the unusual and striking whilst keeping its soul

In addition this creation has completely changed my view of a particular case style and in turn has made me think that with a little imagination and skill what else can be acheived with other watch styles.

Up until seeing that I had only thought in terms of creating accuracy not just creating. So its more about the effect it had on my opinion which to me is a powerful thing to do with a watch.

Thats just MHO

Thanks Pete!

That by itself is Honor enough! Not overly creative, but a simple "Toasting" Job!

Much appreciated!

Got this dial and I've been trying to figure out what to do with it.......

sorry for the small size, forgot to take a shot before I started the project!

decided to give it a burnt look, so fired up the old reliable Panasonic Toaster

and here is the end result:

Finished:

On the wrist:

Thanks for looking folks! Looking forward to a more productive 2010!!!!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Omni and sharing a drink...

So I can vouch for Dem's above statement...

He indeed can bench 150+ with nothing more than a simple thought...

Jedi [censored]...

Now we have a tie...........nah! Let's have them both! We all love them both!

For aging hands, I always start with the thumb, and I find an axe works great for getting that "aged" look.

Do I have to use a special Axe to get that effect???

Lani - with eyes closed!

But - "- Is there a bench press eligibility requirement? A: Glad you asked. Yes, 150 lbs." 150 lbs? That's like "toothpick" to the Brodah and not fair to Omni!

Cheers!

Welcome aboard........and listen to maxman! Happy reading!

Hike

Welcome aboard! We're here to please!

Hike

Welcome Kurt/Spontaneous! Get to know your fellow Matey out there in Oz, they're a good bunch! Then come visit RWG often....it's a fun place, and

we're not just about watches, you'll see!

Cheers!

Hike

Happy Monday RWG!

watchhunter, how long ago did you place your order? I too am still waiting on a delivery I ordered on 12-2-09. This was going to be a Christmas gift but it does not look like it will make it. I get the "it is out of my control" line from the seller Joshua @ www.perfect-hour.com.

He said it was dispatch Nov. 9th! Where are you located? If you're CONUS, you will probably get it before Xmas! Josh usually ships via EMS to Conus and if it gets actually lost or seized by Customs, he will re-ship you another one......, not unless he change his policy and out front stated that he won't if this happens! Just be patient......you know the Holiday Season......!

Good Luck! Hike

Sorry about you suckers in the snow!! Forida's actually pretty nice at the moment; inside and out.

G-! What happened to the girl in the towel! I dont see any shark around!

You know what you can do with that watch? Stick it up your [censored]! (Can't beat a clockwork orange ) By the way, Men are supposed to open the wine, never heard they were to fetch it?

@Hike; Love your neigbourhood, looks very private and nice from the little I can see:)

Thanx! Kinda......very quite cul-se-sac of 18 homes! Really beautiful in the summer. We back into a forest preserve with a pretty good size river. Excellent for river kayaking after a good rain!

Merry Christmas Buddy ... what are those two on the desk?

Thanks, my friend! Long time no hear! The two are PAM 249s I'm regulating!

Dude! If not for Emily, you look like ready to get some "money out of the bank"!

You two are looking lovely together! Regards to her!

Foon ying! Huan ying! Welcome! Enjoy the board! Hope you have a great time during your stay!

Red......your photography is getting sharper........looks great!
