Mike on a bike

 "c. MOAB is too young to qualify as my dad." it is great to be called young !

They are fun glad you guys were able to do it, I try one two here every year. IHooq, yes stay away from those AP's almost got me hooked last GTG here. I fear like you will want a few and they ain't cheap!   And now whomever owns that Tudor BB sell it to me!!

"Now a few days later, they send me pictures of what appears to be the exact same watch with the same issue." not acceptable and as far as building relationships you'd have to a pretty prolific buyer these guys must do a lot of volume doubt they remember most customers.

Now smaller guys like Toro and sead will know your handle if you are an active guy but big houses I doubt they know who it is just fill the order, it's a Bz.

"Is this typical for most TDs?"  I have heard of it happening but I would hope it is not typical and at least it has not been in my experience.

Yes trooper! Had looked at them but slipped my mind they are in my saved favs somewhere, good price! How do you like it long term?

Vegasvic I ain't wearing those big ones either!

Nice but pricy:   http://www.zentonwatches.com/watches/bronze/

http://www.anconwatches.com/models I have seen many others around but ....................

No but not feeling the love , if you are looking bronze gen micro brand I have links!

Sounds good Indy, been thinking about one will try yours on!

Maurice... has one of the worst resale values ever if you buy new.

I mentioned my reservations in regard to that in my posts as can go Tudor or Breitling instead .

Hey see this from Toro looks like my first post................

You know I should get a black XXL length strap, send out for service and wear in the summer . I welcome comments in person, trust me will not happen.............

I can dig it up for you maybe getreps but movement pretty finicky........ and of course you ain't wearing on pink strap, I hope!

Only real men go w/ pink dial !!!!!!!!!

"Anyone know any of the TD's who sell the crazy hours?"  watcheden claims to have them/ be able to get , better ask before you send $!

Coffin there was a bet!?...................

"Found this one here for £1672.79 all in" link?

Possibly Mike but you know for any of these to be useful we need the real info. User names change at the drop of a hat.

Hmm, what about all VIP members have to give the board their real name and address when they become VIP, and that must be used to send stuff too! then it's a matter of a quick search and kill the member if they go bad?

Fraggle I understand, but the needs of the many trumps the needs of the few. A chance is taken by one buying a watch, a chance taken with the entire board's future outweighs the risk of the former. Cold hard fact, I do not like it any more than you guys , reality sucks my friend.

At 40 x 10.7 this one in the lead ,full teg!

Just put on a U1 I had around (still in plastic!) to cumbersome for daily, so again above looking good.

Finally found height on ML diver 16mm   ,maybe a bit to big for under the cuff, damn!

Fraggle if going Sinn get the teg! Getting a Sinn without teg ,well what's the point.

No Legend my daughter's. LOL

They have a new one also ,sharp!

That is the problem a lot of nice ones out there around that price point. Also ML nice but most know nothing of watches I have /can get plenty of micro brands look as good cheaper the Breit is a Breit and Tudor welll now is a Tudor, Sin is a competely different animal the quality /toughness is second to none (capsule inside movement ,tegmentation)

Look at ML then this same vein inner rotating bezel $575 shipped 500 meters water proof, double domed saphire w AR.

Had/have (wonder where it is) one of those jump hours with a pink strap no less (ladies watch this one) it is cool to look at.

First pics up close Rolex , others had mentioned to me lack of markings w/   do you think that 2892A2 marking seals it?
