Among my many hobbies is playing for brass bands and today in Australia and New Zealand is ANZAC day where our nations stop to remember the service given by our forefathers to keep our countries free.

Today my band played in the dawn service in pouring rain, later we played in the day service again in pouring rain before getting an indoor gig at the RSL (Returned Services League).

Out of the 30 band people and supporters there not a single one complained as we are all too aware that so very many made the ultimate sacrifice to maintain our way of life.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

I get this same question with replica jewelry, the simple answer is that in most cases the genuine is plated too and usually the replica is plated well enough to last....if you wear them the same way as a gen which many do not.

I think you have actually had bad luck with your reps, all of mine (some over 10 years old) still work perfectly.

If you take a rep in for servicing then you will usually be told if it has problems.

I would buy the watch and take it straight in for a service then if it has build issues you can still get your dealer involved in the fix.
