Today that it is colder her in chi-town I had to go up another buckle as the leather tightened up a bit.

Id be in for a set of Pani, Rollie and Omega fo shizzle.

I have had no problems of watched shipped to IL for me coming in through Chicago customs. On another note how is it that a lot of dealers dont like to ship to Texas due to the high seizure rate from their cusotms. I dont understand how it can vary so much from one state to another.

Sounds like good times... Ill have to look some of you guys up when I come to Paris.

I am using the Canon Rebel XT 8.2 MP with 3 diff types of fileters , standard les, macro wide angle lens and telephoto lens. I do a lot of nature photography. For the quick moments I have a Canon SD800 7.2MP with the image stablization that I must takes takes darn good pictures as well.

Your right, Ill probably go with the Gen rubber strap.

I may be in for an orange one for when I get my PO with Oragne Bezel.

Put me down for 1 billion of them. I can resell them at a profit soooooooo.

@GioArmani, Thanks for posting the link for Swiss T. That looks like the route I will be going.

Will be ordering a PO as soon as its back up. Thanks for the fast service on the Seamaster. Thanks for your Grade A service... Julio

I was not sure if doing it would be a possiblity or what kind of retributions this could brings. You have brought up some good points though. Uncle Sam will def want to know what you are doing with all that money.

@TTK What I acutally meant is that your friend/family memeber opens a US based account on his name and US memebers send the funds to that account and then he collects weekl/biweekly or whatever you agree on and he forwards you the money via means that are cheapest and more convenient. This would of course have to be someone you trust since the account would be in their name. I would belive if banking institutions that are US based have branches in the US in your area you should be able to open an account and the account number would be reflected in their US based branches, unless their branches in Bangkok are strictly for businesses.

Tourbillion look movement exactly. I have this watch and it keeps time very accurately. Have had it on watchwinder and wrist since I got it Jan 1st. Looks attractive and tourbillion look movement works well. I picked it up for 150 with the watchwinder box for christmas.

@TTK, is there any way dealers can set up US Bank account through family members/friends and they just forwared the money to you via any means you agree. This way US buyers can pay directlty to Bank without it being an oversears transaction. Dont know if this is even possible due to regulations in the US with banking since 9-11. Of course this would have to be someone you would have to trust 100%. Not sure if this has been discussed here yet.

Wow that is an interesting test. Had not though about it. Makes for some good pictures. I am going to have to try it. Will post with follow up.

Its time to get Footbal Sunday rolling. Lets see how many bears fans we have in here. My prediction is. Bears 24 Seattle 13

If I get the flyback I purchased in the mail today that will be my choice if not it will be my Omega Seamster GMT I got from Andrew last week. Woot. Have not take any pictures of them yet.

Nice one. I dont answer people when I get asked How much did that cost you. Not to many people ask me now since I dont much about money in any situation. People where I work like to gloat on how much they spent on the things they buy.

Nice collection. I think the day I make a shelf for all my watches and put them on display is the day my wife will divorce me since I would be giving the watches a godly status.

Looking forward to more posts from themuch as I to dive and am interested in this topic.

I would also strongly recomend Andrew and Joshua for your purchases. I have bought many wathes from both and have gotten nothing but professional service from both of them. I have a PO waiting for me in the post office right now from Andrew.

PO would be my recomendation as well. I own all 3 but thinking back when I was 21 the Omega would be a better choice for that age.

Thanks for the responses. Vernin Hills is close to me so pmd you for the information. Thanks,

Does anyone know of a rep watchsmith in the Chicago area, preferable north suburbs.

My wife was home all day yet when my new PO was supposed to be here today all I found as the orange tag from the postman. He did not even knock on the door. Just left it there. Guess it will be a Sub night downtown tonight.
