I finally completed my IWC pilot watch collection! Yea! You can pro'ly tell I prefer the bracelet to the strap. It's only because the large gaps between the strap and case make the watch seem far to big on my skinny wrist IMHO. From left to right: Mark XVI, Mark XVII, 3717, 3777, 3717 and the strap is on another older model XVII.

Perfect for that area. Are you native to the area or a US expat, or?

A lot of my reps do that. What's the big deal?

LOL! Precocious bastid. Serves him right for not spending a few extra thousand in due diligence. Testing for cesium 137 would have saved him a lot if headache.

Bilal and Tom Cochrane. Talk about and eclectic Sunday morning! American Hip hop and Canadian folk rock LOL

My new 3717

Bizarre.

I'm way in. No doubt. Just let me know what you need.

Looks great on your wrist! Nice clean rugged look. Congrats!

Nordstrom's sold them a long time ago http://nypost.com/2007/07/27/nordstrom-sheds-faconnable-brand/

Strange comment. What makes them a pseudo brand?

Ouch! Chief is a TA (Trusted Administrator)

Yep... More news coming out every week. I haven't eaten pacific fish since. Fukushima Coverup: “Biggest Industrial Catastrophe In History” http://ow.ly/28XlJd "The Fukushima cover-up is about more than mendacious and criminal behaviour on the part of corporate and government officials. It shines a spotlight on the power and clout of the trans-national nuclear industry, and how they co-opt not only media, but whole sectors of economic and military endeavour." Made me wonder if the get rid of the stored waste by making military weapons from it. Like armor piercing depleted uranium rounds shot from A10 planes.

Congrats! When I was 25 I was your age too.

It's only a matter of time (not long) before we have another meltdown in the US. It is totally unsafe. The problems are more than most people realize. When a reactor melts down and/or releases nuclear pollutants into the surrounding environment (air, water, soil), it can travel vast miles and lasts thousands of years. Animals ingest the toxic particles and we eat them. The contaminants get into our bodies and do not go away. These radioactive contaminants kill the cells around them and then cells try to fight the disease but cannot because the cells are mutated. We end up producing mutated cells to fight the cancer and we die. The problem is that it takes a long time for this to manifest so it's hard to connect the dots of responsibility. The other issue is the nuclear energy sector is very powerful and has effectively lobbied the government to turn the NRC regulatory body into a toothless tiger. Try to picture that. I big toothless old tiger gumming at their ankles while they laugh big belly laughs cashing in on their monopoly businesses. The NRC exists to fain legitimacy in the policing of the technology. These powerful monied interests are run my a very small group of people who will not shut down a reactor for safety reasons unless forced. The greed keeps them tethered to their money faucets. You know a government is captured when they face catastrophic nuclear fallout from Fukishima and instead of monitoring and publishing the data to the public they raise the acceptable levels of toxicity so as not to set off even more alarms. A lot of people don't realize that. Reactors do leak, especially now as they get older. They are past their working lifespan but they keep renewing their licenses. They leak contaminating the water we drink and fish we eat. I would never own property with 100 miles of one. I was glad to hear they closed San Onfre this year, here in California, between LA/Orange County and Sand Diego. It's surrounded by millions of people and they closed it because of serious problems. I was surprised to see that ruling. We have another one in California by Santa Barbara that needs to get closed. There are also scientific laboratories, like nuclear linear accelerators that contaminate their environment but they keep out of the toxicity spotlight. Nuclear reactors were not designed to store the reactor waste materials, but nobody wants this waste (we can't even sell it to other countries) so all the reactors in the US store their dangerous radioactive waste right there! Santa Barbara and San Onfre, both on earthquake fault-lines, are another Fukshima waiting to happen. Can you imagine that happening?! It's very possible. We have spent billions of dollars to build a storage facility deep within the bowels of the remotest Nevada desert but their State Governor Harry Reid argued against opening it. Once Obama took office, they shut it down. Billions of Federal dollars wasted, until the republicans take over and restart that project. Imagine if that huge storage facility has some type of chain reaction. Goodbye Vegas. The Atomic State of America is a decent new documentary on Netflix that goes over most of these basics but shows you how the people who live nearby are affected and dying. What Is The ACTUAL Risk for Pacific Coast Residents from Fukushima Radiation? http://ow.ly/rGW01 Controversial stuff here but worth reading and contains some good peer reviewed exposure studies The principle threat to democracy in the US today arises from irresponsible elites seeking relative advantage at expense of shared social values. The nuclear special monied interests are no exception and possibly the most irreversibly dangerous of the bunch.

Yup. Chief just fixed it! Yea!

Chief just fixed it!

Thanks Mike! U da man! On the bike of course

Can anyone responsible for RWG tech support chime in. I haven't used RWG 1.1 since they stopped Tapatalj support and would hate for that fate here too. It's in the forums best interest to keep VIP paying members like me around no? Mike, Tapatlk is an App for people with iPhone, iPad, Andriod phones and tablets too. It allows us to access all the forums from one single easy interface. I participate in over six fora daily, sometimes more, and Tapatalk is much easier because the interface is the same for all of them and much faster to check and post to threads.

Maybe logging out and back in will fix it but I'm not sure how to log out of just RWG on Tapatalk. Anyone try this?

I haven't been able to see any new threads for a couple of days with Tapapalk. I've had to log in to the regular site to post this. Anyone else have this issue?
