  1. Ahh. Paul. Your very best friend. I remember getting one of my very first reps from Paul about 6 years ago. Still runs great. Bought several very nice and affordable reps from his variety of web sites over the years. Heard lots of good and bad stories, but I never had a problem. Always fast shipping and good value for the money. I'll have to visit him again.
  2. I think that's the way to go. I tend to hang in there until my eyes glaze over, and that's when it's time to quit. There's always so much interesting stuff going on, it's a hard habit to quit. I already have my eye on some of those new Pams, and I really should hang on to my $$$, but, well, you know....
  3. I'm back, too. Had to take a little time off. Got a little overwhelmed with watch stuff. Had a little wood refinishing project... only took about a year. Right before that, my subscription was denied for some reason that I couldn't figure out at the time. I don't know if it was because my credit card company changed my account number, or my isp had to change my email address, or what. I have to sign in with my old email, and I'd like to upgrade, but still keep my avatar so folks know who I am again. Maybe someone on the admin team can help me out with this. Looks like there's a lot of stuff happening, new members, new reps,etc. I've been lurking for a few days and am starting to get the hang of it again. Good to see some of the same folks are still here. I really like the new section with Frederico's handmade watches. I gotta get me one o' them someday, but I'll probably have to sell my Porsche to do it.
  4. I need to get in touch with admin team re: my subscription but I can't PM anyone. All i get is a grey line and an "x" under it. What the heck am I doing wrong?
  5. Just got mine from Josh. Looks good, despite the alleged flaws. Need to get it to Z for a lube just to be sure.
  6. I wasn't able to PM either. Hopefully email works. We don't have many people with The Zigmeister's expertise.
  7. I only remember one person asking about a watch I was wearing. I just said "Yeah, it's a fake. Made in China. Isn't that incredible?" And then they wanted to have a closer look.
  8. Thanks for the excellent review (again) Rob. Now I guess all us AP fans will be out a few bucks.
  9. Francisco, thanks for the GREAT review. Guess I won't be buying a Daytona anytime soon. Got two already, one seconds @6 that's almost dead, and a secs @9 repaired by The Zigmeister. I suppose we won't really have a decent Daytona until someone gets the movement right. I had to laugh at the 29 jewel part, it reminds me of the time transistor radios were all the rage. Wow, I guess I am really old. They were marketed as " 6 TRANSISTORS!"," 16 TRANSISTORS!" and, apparantly, if you had more transistors than the next guy, you were really "with it". Well, I opened one of these things up, and, sure enough, there were the 16 transistors. But only about 5 of 'em were attached to any circuitry. So, truth in marketing would have advertised " 16 TRANSISTORS, 5 ACTUALLY WORKING TRANSISTORS!". But who would've bought 'em? I guess we'll be in for a long wait. THANKS FOR SAVING ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS!!!
  10. Happy couple of days after your birthday! (I'm generally tardy for most things except a watch repair appointment!)
  11. oops. TTK is not trustytime. I think you can find TTK on the other forums, but not here.
  12. and a fine GTG it was indeed. Again, congrats to Stephane and vlydog for the organization. It was a blast to meet some members in person. It was a little intimidating to be at one table with a wealth of information being discussed, along with a pile of reps and gens.
  13. Stephane: Just a second confirmation in addition to my email to you: Yes, I will be attending alone. I didn't fill out the survey because I don't really care where we eat. Anywhere is fine with me.
  14. Sometimes I'm amazed at our members ingenuity. I'm equally amazed at a fix that doesn't require a hammer, vice or hockey puck.
  15. OK. August 25. I'll confirm. So I'll be there. 6PM, lobby of Waldorf Astoria. I don't care much about the food, I'll eat anything except raw fish. I like my sushi broiled. Don't care about the money, either. It's NYC. It costs money just to get there. I'd be interested in a Canal St. adventure, but I hope if we go that we get there before the street vendors close up shop. I don't know how late I'd be interested in staying, I've got a 1 1/2 hour train ride to get back to Jersey. So I'll have to see what happens. How are we going to know who we are? I know who I am, but I don't know who anybody else is. Well, I could probably recognize EDDHEAD from our last NYC GTG, but it's hard to meet in a large place when you don't know what everyone else looks like. We could wear badges ("we don't need no stinkin' badges") Maybe like this: Anyway, whatever works for finding each other.
  16. Ahhh. My beautiful Breitling. Got to start modding that thing. I won't touch any of my reps 'cause I can't do small parts. But that 'thing' will be perfect encrusted with fine jewels. Or crushed glass, or maybe painted funny, or maybe a 'special edition'. We'll have to see.
  17. Very cool strap. Think I'll try one for my blue Regatta. Thanks for the pix.
  18. Tried to find the rep at perfect clones but couldn't find it. Have you got a link?
