The Milgauss is always "nice to have." I have liked the Milgauss for years. I would love to own a late-50's like the one that this is repped after. They will cost you mega bucks, though. If you get one...marr it up a bit. A 50 year old watch should look 50 years old. sv

I never consider something sold, until the money is either in hand or in the bank! Best of luck getting it sold! sv

Your girl's wrist > your wrist hahaha... Nice shots. I have been thinking of getting a Daytona. My only problem is that there is no date. I always look at my watch for the date. sv

Looks just like my pearl! hahaha... *sigh* sv

Would like to add, that I just did a deal with Andrew and it went through flawlessly! Thanks Andrew!! sv

As a Professional Real Estate agent, I have seen the prices sky rocket. Being less than an hour outside of NYC, there's always a huge demand from the people who are looking to commute. For a few years, the prices were consistantly increasing 20-25% and sometimes more depending upon the area. The prices are still increasing in the area. They're not increasing as fast as they were, though. Pricing has always been an important factor when getting a home sold. There are still bidding wars on homes that are priced well, and in desireable areas. I had eight offers on one of my listings. The buyer fell through, and we put it back on the market. Within two days, I had three more offers. Motivation to sell a home and the price you set are the two most important factors. I know some great agents in all the areas that you guys live in...If you ever need to buy or sell, or just have questions...PM me. I would love to help. sv

Ouch... Why double? Out of principle I would rather someone charge me an extra five dollars (or pounds) and say "I'll cover pp" rather than saying "you cover it." Then...when it's 2.9% for everyone else, why do you charge 5%? I work solely off of commission, being in Real Estate. So I understand people charging more or less for their services. What do you bring to the table that you should charge a fellow board member more? Fast shipping? Does your band not have sharp edges, or make noise? I'm genuinely interested... sv

I saw about a minute of this, when I was flipping around. What was he eating out of that can? Was that dog food? That's all I saw. Nice watch. Fast Eddie has moved up in the world. sv

I *really* like the Cali dial. Classic, and to the point. I like the Alarm, as well. Put me down for one of each. :wink: sv

I received my PAM 1950 from Trusty today. The watch looks outstanding. It's a real eye opener. I will have to post pics when I get home. My first impression: The mailman had my package, and I met him at the door. I knew that when he had something for me to sign, that I was in for a good afternoon. I open the package and see the watch. I was shocked how big the watch is. My daily wear is a gen Rolex Datejust, or a rep Day-Date. The PAM was much larger than what I am used to. The band is stiff, but I'm hoping that will soften up over time. If not, I may look into another band. Time will tell. The watch winds very smoothly. Seeing the movement on the back is pretty cool. I try the watch on. It's *much* larger and sportier than my Rolex. I realized that wearing this with a suit everyday isn't something that can be done. It will only be worn on more casual days where a sport coat is worn, and not a suit. It looks like the Rolex will stay as the daily wear. It should look good with a pair of jeans, and a casual shirt. The second hand is very smooth. A guy that I know has a gen Panerai...so the next time I see him we will have to compare and check out. I may not even tell him it's a rep and see if he can guess. He may think it's real, because he knows that I have a few Rolexes and a few Tags that are gen. Thank you Trusty for a solid deal. The watch arrived to my house (NYC area) in about a week. There is one point that I would like to point out. Whatever was used to clean the underside of the crystal, left a few streaks near the second hand-9 o'clock area. It's only noticable in the sunlight, at a bit of a angle. But I did notice it. It does not affect the watch AT ALL. It's just something that I might take care of in the future. I am really happy with my new "sport" watch. (Sport relating to casual style of dress, not for activity...) I will post photos tonight. sv

NJ/NYC guy here... I'm always down for a couple of brews and some watch talk in a dark bar. sv

I don't know any specific dealers. If you are looking to put it on a gen, I would suggest to get a gen bracelet. In my opinion...the clasps on the reps on eBay are the worst. The hallmark is always shitty, and the metal feels thin and cheap. Talk to a local jeweler. I believe retail on a new Oyster band is $495 US. From what you said, it's a little tough to get stuff by you for a good price... Search around, and I'm sure you'll be able to find something. sv

I do have real watches in my collection...but I was wearing my Day-Date a few weeks ago. My friends know that I love Rolexes. I was at a bar, and a guy comes over and shows me his Day-Date and it was beautiful. He said, "I saw that you had a great watch...I wanted to say hi." I was like, "Cool...nice to to meet you." I went on with my business. Then, same night...after the bar, I was in the grocery store with my buddies...and a guy comes up, and said, "Wow...nice watch!" I thanked him and went on with my business. Now, my buddies are thinking I'm wearing a real watch. A little part of me feels guilty not telling them....but, then again, they didn't ask. Maybe I'll just wear the real ones when I'm around them from now on. hahaha... sv

Collage Eyes... ...better color Funbags ...more eyes sv

The end links fit the case and lugs well. The band was acutally a really nice band. I just don't think that it looked as nice as I hoped it would have. Meaning.........that band doesn't belong on a Datejust, so it shouldn't be there. If you dig the look, have it it. I bought mine on eBay. Just make sure the endlinks are curved to the correct radius. sv
