I'm liking Western Union with the dealers that I have used it with. I guess I've been spooked by too many pp stories, even though I follow the instructions (I would most likely end up the guy who sent a grand right before someone else labels their transaction as Fake Rollies).

Double digits, as in days... Esmarc

Pics would be great since everyone is talking about how rarely TAGs are reviewed...

Very Very Nice! Thanks for the great pics as well! Esmarc

Gotta be the PAM 029 at the moment. Seems to have edged out the others for now. Thank goodness I'm not strap addicted yet or I'd be changing straps daily instead of watches! Esmarc

Very nice watch! Enjoy!

Ahhh, all this old news... Isn't She in double digits already Trunk? Congrats! Esmarc

Tan, without question... Esmarc

Very nice looking lume work there Esmarc

Great First Post

My only comment is that obviously post count doesn't matter... Hope things work out well for you. Esmarc

Now this put a smile on my face. Glad to see Klink found it in good taste. You're a great guy Klink! Esmarc

Chili's lovely wife did just have a baby. I suspect he is learning how to type with one hand while holding the baby with the other; either that, or getting small enough sandals to fit over the little one's socks! All the best Chili, and congrats again! Esmarc

Happy Birthday Nanuq, et. al.! Hope everyone has a great one! Esmarc

Esmarc's "Celebrity Blend"

My last purchase with Andrew never tracked properly, it did however arrive beautifully. Patience my Friend... Esmarc

Thanks for the well wishes via this thread and PMs everyone. I give kudos to everyone that showed up, and extra props to Mikellem for a special gift! I have been busy with work, and tired from being ill, but I will post my pictures most likely on Wednesday (or tonight if I can't sleep). They will be attached to Tin0's Flikr page (so look for them there) if my tired ass can figure out how to do that in a prompt fashion. I'm glad to see all the positivity and hope that members abroad choose to host their own events in their respective states and countries! I by no means started this, and I most certainly won't be finishing it Esmarc

Jetmid couldn't have been in Leavenworth today, he had dinner with me after the Rep Collectors So Cal Lunch yesterday. He said the Lear needed some work, so he's still local... Esmarc

Good question Overboosted, the only thing I would have done is narrowed it down a bit, as in 10 year increments, just to make it more interesting... Esmarc

Slay, You may remember some posts during the previous two weeks about me being sick. Well, I still am, but I was not about to flake out, back out, or cancel the lunch I had planned for our members. Next time I hope to be 100%. Add little things like the Maitre'D losing our reservation, typical LA traffic on the way there (and home), and it makes for a quiet Esmarc. You know the saying, "The show must go on..." and that is exactly what happened Esmarc

Well, Thanks to all of those who attended, and all of the well wishers from around the world! Our great community is host to members around the globe, and I am merely host to the small gatherings I am able to plan here in Southern California Some have asked about who the attendees were, so I'll be kind enough to list everyone who attended, you'll have to put the names to the faces everyone... Avitt Goofy Klink Tin0 Cdigi Mikellem Eagle21 RobertK MsCndyKane and yours truly, Esmarc

A platinum daytona for $30? Makes me want to start selling crack, I could have got that thing for a 20 sack!

Alright Ladies and Gentlemen, The day has now arrived. Maxlove (and his wonderful son Max) may or may not attend, as Maxlove has had recent surgery. If you know Maxlove, drop him a PM and keep him in your thoughts and prayers. A few have had emergencies and will be unable to attend (Coascender, we keep your loss with us in our thoughts). A few have hectic and busy schedules, and will not be able to attend. A few I have not heard from, and I don't know if they will attend. What I do know is those who have been posting will be attending! I think that it is all about the comraderie we are fortunate to share with our hobby. So Folks, get ready, get dressed, and most importantly, get there! Most of us will be coming with 3 or more watches, so the "I didn't know what time it was" excuse will cost you a cocktail to the host, yours truly See you Boys (and Girls) there! Esmarc

Bres, To hear for yourself, you'll have be present, or at least send me one of those sound recorders in advance so I can send it back to you... but save your time, trust me on this one... He does. Esmarc

Just a reminder to all attendees. Many members will be bringing watches for sale, so bring some spare change if you think you might like something that you see. Also, please be kind enough to bring cash for the bill, I don't know if they will allow twenty seperate checks! Keep posting, it's less than 24 hours away! Esmarc
