Ok, I've had just about every dial color gen and rep fish. I really think you should try a black sharkskin. Trust me, it looks AMAZING, especially with the white dial. I'll find some pictures when I get back to my comp and post for you.

I'll be in the OC tomorrow night, cash in hand....let's strike a deal.

Patek Calatrava - for an heirloom it can not be beaten. IMO the most classic watch you could ever purchase. Congrats on the big day my friend.

The difference between listing as scratched and LNIB is huge. One looks like it's been kept in a safety deposit box while the other looks like it's been worn playing sports and mowing the lawn. I've been a browser/buyer/seller of rep/gen forums for a long time. The cleaner watches always demands a premium. If you know that a cape cod cloth can honestly make your watch look new...then you go and buy one before listing and sell at a 10+% premium to the other scratched up watches. The 'bc they don't have one excuse' is what bugs me. They should just type that they are willing to take a couple hundred hit bc they're too gd lazy to order a 5 dollar rag and spend 15 minutes before listing their watch. That or the scratches are serious enough that a cape cod cloth wouldn't actually bring it back to new.

Serious comment coming..... On rep and gen forums alike, people mention 90% of the time in their for sale ads "easily polished out w/ cape cod cloth". If it's so easy, then why not do it yourself and advertise as LNIB or 95%+, instead of the usual red flag 'light scratches'. Just curious...this always bugs me.

Robbie, I've had both the reps and gens of these two versions. I kept the gen black dialed steelfish. I wouldn't sell the fish, you'll just end up buying it back in a couple weeks (happened to me).

I actually had this rep before purchasing the gen as a good beater, I actually have two now. There are actually two of these on timezone right now for $500 and $600. Great prices to snag a gen.

Definitely a pitbull. In my life I have owned many different breeds and never found one that comes close to a pitbull in personality, loyalty, obedience, etc, etc, etc. I could rant for days on the subject. I'm on my laptop and don't have many pictures. Here's one of the big boy, can't keep his eyes open...it's too early in the morning (10AM)

My VacFish for the next week, while I'm on vacation in the ocean

This should answer your question....let me know who is selling it and I will buy it immediately.

Count me in for one SS for the manual wind. Congrats on a great job.

I would jump all over this if it was released. I've always loved the DD/DJ etc but can't stand the size. Hell, I'd buy one in every color and combo available.

You may want to look into some keto diets. I'm not a big fan of them but everybody is different. Don't do any extreme keto diets (atkins, etc) because from what I've seen you lose to much hard earned mass. There are 'less' strict keto diets that still allow enough carbs to retain some of your muscle. If you lose weight quickly your going to lose some muscle...no real way around it. Again, the main points are to work on your diet. There's no easy way around it, you just have to adjust your calorie levels until you find the perfect amount to safely lose the weight. Since your not going for any competitions...take it easy. Weight loss shouldn't be overnight. That's why I suggest staying away from fad no carb diets and just do it over time. Eat a well balanced clean diet. You have a much better chance at retaining your muscle this way. Cardio cardio cardio. It sucks, but it's the only way to see those abs. To retain your muscles through a cutting phase I like to eat a pretty healthy diet without cutting a bunch of calories to make sure you feed your muscles...then bust your ass with some HIIT.

I think supplements for the most part are a waste. I was a competitive power lifter prior to a rough motorcycle wreck and it makes me sick knowing that kids are wasting their hard earned cash on the crap from ads in muscle mags. The secrets to getting in shape and not breaking your wallet: Sleep Water Crea Mono - 5g a day, loading is a bunch of shi* and not necessary (remember more expensive is not better, you're just paying for marketing) Whey - The only must have supplement (same as above, you don't need the most expensive on the market) Multi-Vitamin Meal replacements? Yeah, it's called canned tuna and .50 a pop at the grocery store. If your dedicated to busting your ass at the gym then be dedicated enough to spend 15 minutes every night to cook chicken/veggies/fish and put it in zip lock containers to eat 5-6 meals a day. I think all energy drinks are a waste of money too. You can buy off brand pure caffeine pills for 5 bucks a bottle if you really need an extra edge. I don't like the topic of roids even being discussed. 99% of the population won't understand how to use them and use them to their potential. Too many young kids get hooked with the idea of fast gains. They read about how to cycle and what to take in recovery to negate any side effects but miss the most important part.... Where people screw up when taking them is the diet part. You need to be eating more than you thought humanly possible (clean, not cheeseburgers) while cycling, then eat almost as much post cycle to limit the loss of mass you gained while on the cycle. I guess what I'm trying to say is diet is the number 1 part of getting big. Most people can have what some consider 'steroid' like results with whey protein and a perfectly fine tuned diet. It takes time and hard work, but I would spend as much time in the gym as I would tweaking my diet to see exactly how many calories and protein my body needs to maximize results. I hope this helps a little bit. The one thing I'm trying to get across is that you should not spend more than $30 a month on supplements. Most are crap and a lot of money can be saved by a quick trip to the grocery store. Muscle mass is made in the kitchen and at the gym...not at GNC.

EDIT I'm a moron.
