They'll get their comeuppance in time, bro

Hmmm.... I'd like to think that I've learned something from every mistake I've made Killing movements has taught me how to be more careful in my manipulations of them, and to treat any kind of watch repair as a 'do or do not' situation, as there is little, if any, margin for error. I think my only real 'regret' is that I destroyed my Yacht-Master through experimentation, as that was a very nice watch to wear, but is at least replaceable

Looking good I'm not really one for cereals, but that would be the ideal snack right now

All in good time, my friend

Awesome Can't been a nice sterile homage

Very nice I think the YM is the one watch I actually wouldn't mind getting another of (mine succumbed to my experiments modding practice )

Heck, I want to be his watch-smith

Enjoying it while it lasts

Makes perfect sense, and I know precisely what you mean, as I was in the same situation last year when I had to sell off my collection to pay for my wedding. Initially, I had hoped to sell the collection intact, but after only getting 'tire-kickers', I was forced by time constraints to sell the collection individually in the hopes of getting something rather than nothing... in the end, I sold everything and got the amount I needed, so don't be afraid to split the collection in order to get more interest on the watches Best of luck with your sales

Awesome Interesting take on the glide-lock

That looks awesome, fantastic acquisition

My only real exposure was the Reverso Val Kilmer wore in Batman Forever (and even then I was paying more attention to Nicole Kidman...) But as a company, I guess they've got something for everyone

Absolutely no idea who she is, but she's certainly striking... I'm not getting the 'model' vibe, but maybe a TV host?

My level of 'sensitivity' directly equates to the level of courtessy which Neil showed towards others and myself. Fake watches maybe, people do not spend fake money to buy them. Do you think it acceptable to threaten to label a parcel so it will be intercepted by customs? Yes or no. Do you think it acceptable to bully, harass and threaten people on an online forum for personal amusement? Yes or no.

I'm well aware that my feelings on the matter would have no impact on if Neil was to return or not. All I can say on that matter, is if Neil was allowed to return, I would certainly reconsider my contributions and participation in the community. Also, please do not use the phrase 'perceived insults' in such a manner. Neil was a bully, period. If you wish to hold someone like that in high regard, feel free, just don't expect others to share that opinion, or be quick to forget just how Neil behaved toward them for his amusement.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by most of your post, but that's not really important I don't think your comment is at all harsh, and I certainly don't take offence by it. Likewise, my posts were not intended to cause offence. On forum, Neil was nothing more than a bully throwing his weight around to anyone he thought would not stand up to him. I have nothing but contempt for people like that. Likewise, someone who threatens to label a parcel so it will almost certainly be seized by customs, shows themself only as petty and vindictive, and someone not to be held in any kind of regard.

There is no 'between the lines' subtext about my post, I said precisely what I feel about the subject. I don't know if Neil is alive or dead, and likewise, I really do not care. I'm not saying I'm wishing him dead because of our past interactions, I'm not that petty, but as Katerchen pointed out above, if Neil is still alive, letting him back onto the forum would be unwise. He was banned for crossing a line which should not be crossed.

You're quite right, I never received a watch from Neil, but that was because I never did business with Neil, and I never wanted to. The utter disrespect and hostility he showed towards myself and others on many occasions was more than enough for me to know I would rather burn my money than spend a penny of it doing business with him. As someone else previosly said about Neil, he was, what is referred to in the UK, as a gobshite. For all I read about people saying that off-forum he was a decent and charming man, I could not care less. My (and others) only experiences with him on forum were thoroughly unpleasant, that was all we had to base our experiences of him on, and I am nothing but glad that he is no longer here, as there is simply no need to be abusive or hostile towards others online 'for shits and gigs'. In my book, threatening the Admin is not acceptable. In my book, threatening to label a package 'fake Rolex' out of spite, in the endeavor to get it confiscated at customs, is also not acceptable. He once tried to intimidate me by PM on RepGeek, and when my reply to him showed him otherwise, that was the last interaction I had with him, and I couldn't care less if he is dead or alive, it makes no difference to me. Sorry if that comes across as harsh, but those are my honest feelings on the subject.

Awesome find Any above the neck shots of the lady in question?

Of all the watches I've bought, and all the 'off the beaten path' dealers I've used, the only problems I have had with deals, was when I used 'forum trusted' dealer...

Wear it like it's real? Sure. I built what's on my wrist, so feel no need to feel ashamed of it... Say that it's real? No way... Understand the urge to take a smug sales assistant down a peg or two? Absolutely

The P isn't crooked, the letter itself is damaged. If you look at the bottom tip of the R, the bottom of the P and the lower left corner of the E (peRPEtual) they are all slightly damaged, as if something rubbed against the dial and removed the printing, which is a shame... Other than that, a fantastic build
