Thanks for all the hard work Big Chief - site looks clean and doesn't hang up on my IE!

<sigh> I remember my first...like nothing else. but over 15 years have never found a #2 as good as that one. kinda like chasing that first high.

Padron Family Reserve 46 Anniversary. an unbelievable cigar.

Thanks Jkay! I feel like Rip Van Winkle - go to sleep for a few years and the whole world has changed!

Hi all - It's been 3 or 4 years since I've been active. Couldn't even say what brought me back. Got the itch I suppose. Paypal plus a compulsion for shiny things is a dangerous combination... Over the years my VC died as did my 183H and my Marina Militare (my bad on that last one). The bezel popped off my Planet Ocean somewhere. but the remainder of my collection is still intact and worn proudly. Looking forward to reacquainting myself with the community (and the lingo) exploring the world of replicas which has obviously expanded a great deal.

Love him or hate him... No denying its an important subject that needs some serious light shined on it. (uh oh...too political?)

two versions - 1) has thicker font on 6 & 12 which is truer to the gen. But it doesn't have the smaller tickmarks on the dial. 2) pictured here - all the right markers round the dial, but 6 & 12 are too thin.

The Omega... no words...should've...sent...a...poet

Solution to bad bezel finish? bead blast the whole damn thing!!! (Thanks ajoesmith)

I thought i would never buy a gold-plated rep - for fear of quality until... The gold plating on my RM never ceases to amaze me. I don't even keep it in my watch box for fear of scratching it. and my 231 ain't too shabby either

ok here's me

I gotta agree - my 089 is running a good 48 hours after the last wear... and considering my laziness - I can't say its been fully wound anytime I wear it.

I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and I'm surprised at how decent the lume is for a factory watch. I'm not even sure I am going to send it off for any kind of mod. Great watch - great photos!

I only buy it for the articles - I don't look at the pictures... oh wait - thats Playboy..

Ah the o-eight-nine Ti - I've been coveting it for months. and finally received mine yesterday!!!
