Excellent advice...........as always. Thanks guys.

+1 what sgt said. Dude, sometimes the "if you've got it, flaunt it" expression doesn't apply. Don't get caught up trying to impress people with material possessions, that they know you can't afford. Just enjoy your piece for what it is - an inexpensive replica of something you desire, but can't afford............yet. If anyone asks if it's gen, be straight with them. What does it say about you, if you are lying to people, to try & impress them? I won't buy anything that is a rep of mega-expensive gens, that I would never be able to afford, on what I make. I opt for stuff that are reps of gens that I could afford, if I really wanted to. Just my opinion. :-)

As always, I am astounded by the brilliance of the modders on this board. Well done sir, you are a genius!

Here's Andrew's new web address guys. Just in case you missed his post. As reported by Panerai153 in another thread, his old domain has been closed down by legal representation for Oakley. I wonder if others will be targeted, also. http://www.ttw888.com/

Hope you don't mind me crashing your thread, sgt. I've just received a UPO 42mm from Andrew, that I ordered on behalf of a mate. It was my fourth purchase from Trusty, & I can absolutely reinforce everything you are saying. The guy is a dead set gentleman. Always quick replies, (no matter what time of day, I don't know when he sleeps!) & seamless transactions. I had the watch in my hands 8 days after my initial email inquiry. (I'm in Sydney). Gotta be happy with that. I emailed Andrew to thank him for such quick, courteous service, & even got a reply to that, within an hour! So if anyone was contemplating purchasing from Trusty, all I can say is, go ahead, you can order with confidence. Oh, & I hear what you're saying about the wife......................good luck with that! BTW THIS IS NOT A PAID ADVERTISEMENT FOR TRUSTYTIME

Hello & welcome Telis. Congratulations, you have discovered the friendliest & most knowledgable watch forum in existence. Enjoy it to the extreme. The guys on here are the greatest, & always ready & willing to share their vast knowledge.

Great little snippet of advice, thanks Matt. Can't justify to the Minister for War & Finances, (AKA The missus) the cost difference between Swiss v Asian, so Asian it must be. So if I can look after it the best I can, it's all good.

Absolutely beautiful ASCI. I've always said that I wouldn't like to live somewhere that it snows. But these stunning pics could easily convince me otherwise. Awesome, Well done.

+1 mate, I really think you're on to something. Either way I'm pleased to have found you.

Bummer, I guess that would be a difficult one to claim under warranty

Ah, good old Aussie Post. Bless 'em. Awesome concept, dude. Hope it's do-able. Be sure to keep us posted.

Industrial cool! Well done.
