At last, a GMT-Equipped Dive watch I still can't believe Rolex never brought one out

When I was younger, I would spend hours going over the Book of Dreams, squinting at the pictures trying to work out what the dial print said and what buttons did what As a result, I'm pretty good at making out signs/departure boards from a distance or while under the influence Ahh, for when the lume just doesn't cut the mustard

At the end of the day, something which I feel might be going over people's heads, is that there are more ways to contribute to the community of this forum, than cold hard cash. Someone might donate a Benjamin towards the cause, but never write reviews, never put items up for auction or raffle, never give parts to members in need, never actually just 'hang out and shoot the breeze'. Sure, they're paying their way financially, but in terms of actually contributing something to the community, they do nothing. A review might not help to keep the lights on, but if it saves someone cash from buying overpriced junk, then that's helping someone, and at the end of the day, that's what this community is all about: Helping its brothers.

Thanks, I didn't want to get into bashing the guy, afterall, I don't know him personally, so my opinion is only based on my perception of him through the media, I'm just being honest about how I feel about the subject 'Everyday people' in a similar situation would feel much bigger implications for such actions, and whatever happens, I can't see him having to claim welfare anytime soon...

Is it sad? I know that's the automatic reaction, but honestly, is it really? Personally, I've never liked Tiger Woods, and always felt he gave off a vibe of arrogance, entitlement and smug superiority, but that aside, he has no one to blame for any of this, than himself. Companies are not going to want to endorse, or be represented by someone who is anything less than an excellent role-model, and, from these revelations, Tiger Woods has shown himself to be a 'less than perfect' example. I've got no issue with him, or what he's done, those were his choices of his own free will, but, there are always consequences for ones actions, and he is now feeling that. Lets not forget that he is a multi-millionaire anyway, he's not going to be struggling the same way which Joe Sixpack might struggle if getting fired from Wal-Mart...

I believe there's a 'report' tab on the auctions which you can use to notify eBay

The assistance and guidance I have received since joining this forum, not to mention the generous gifts, and offers of help, way outweighs the cost of supporter status. I remember I used to object to to funding requests, but that was only because I had not truly seen what this forum does for people. I do what I can to support the forum, I just wish I could do more. Many clubs have membership fees and subscriptions, and probably do not provide their members with anywhere near the level of support and feeling of community, as this forum does.

Happy Anniversary, amigo :drinks:

Tasty I'm intrigued by the second crown

Damn that is looking good, bro

Thanks, amigo, I figured it was an opportunity I had to take

Looking good to me, bro I had to go into town earlier, but had snowgrips for my boots, not a single slip or slide

About 3-4 inches coverage where I am Nice enough, until it turns to slush on the roads and re-freezes... The crazy thing is the local council never gritted the roads last night, despite knowing that it was going to snow

I just took this photo

I don't think the 4th edition is available any more... I'm not sure how the recent 42mm compares, but I understand the 4th edition is pretty hard to source these days... Best of luck with your search, and welcome to the forum

It's even funnier to see people doing it in bars, when all they're flashing is some glass-encrusted quartz worth $5

It's always funny to see people doing that

There're a few things which would need to be compatible: Movement in the new case. Existing Crown on the new case. If those are compatible, it should be a piece of cake to do the swap

You're not wrong there More passion and genuine interest too, rather than just a load of "I paid xxx for this, look how awesome and perfect it is" BS

It looks like a great time was had by all

To be fair, even the most accurate reps (and even gens) are still going to be considered as reps to anyone who cares to notice, so from that point of view, if it's going to be questioned anyway, accuracy is a redundant concern: What I mean by that, is the questioner probably doesn't know one type of Sub from another, all they see, is the word 'Rolex' on the dial (or recognize the style of watch) and know that Rolex = Fake I take more comfort in knowing that most observers simply don't care, and wear what I like the look of

I'm not all the way through the thread yet, but it's good to see that the discussion so far has been reasonable, and this post in particular caught my eye: This is why I don't buy gen. Or rather, why I didn't buy gen when my pockets were deep enough, and why I definitely wouldn't buy gen if they ever were deep enough in the future

I'm not too sure about the case, but this is what I'm planning on getting so I can use the caseback for Project Snowflake

Any time, amigo As I said in PM, the GMTIIC is one of the only (if not the only) Rolex which impressed me when viewing the gen. Sure, I'm not keen on the ROLEXROLEXROLEX rehaut (unnecessary branding, IMHO) and the polished mid-links are a bit too bling for my taste (I even brushed the mid-links on the DJ to match the outer-links) but overall, when I put it on, I did feel like I was wearing a high-quality timepiece A few touches, like some black enamel paint in the clasp engravings, and it'll be perfect

That really is a beauty
