Interesting about the rust. I wonder what part of the DSSD tends to rust more often? Even if the watch is suceptable to rust, I can't imagine rolex picking up on many cases of rust for a watch that's been out for little over a year....

Hey guys... Since I like to be in the "know".. i was just wondering what the rules are for posting a weekend wristcheck. I posted it this afternoon around 1 or 2pm(madrid time) after noticing that no one had started it yet... I came back to the forum a few minutes ago.. and now it's nowhere to be seen. Did I do something wrong?

The Commodores (who sing... "she's a brick house"_

never have and never will! Thanks

haha

First time I've posted a pic of my Skyland Blacksteel.. Although I've had it for over 2 months already. Another:

So I'm gonna guess.. you have betweeen 75 and 100 watches.... am I right?

Ahh.. thank.. but i've already got that one down.. In spanish I always say... "Lo que tu digas amor, la verdad es que no me importa" (whatever you say my love, the truth is, I don't mind at all.)

Povich... (hahaha.. who can remember the last time they thought of Maury Povich...?)

Thanks for all the great wishes guys! Anyone wanna give me some advice on life as a married man?

Lani.. just how many watches do you have?? i don't need an exact number.. just a ballpark guess

Quantum Leap (the tv show, not the phenomenon in physics)

i'm going to unbrand all of my reps one by one now.. off with all logos... that would solve everyone's problem

new one by me... very interesting design.. Not my cup-o-beverage.. but if you like it, and it feels good, then GO WITH IT! wear it well

Of course I really ate it! The spider was pretty good. It's fried with garlic and lemon grass. The legs taste like really crispy chicken skin, ableit a little greasy. The abdomen is filled with some interesting tasting matter.. a mix of guts, and web producing organs i'm guessing.. i didn't like it.. but lots of cambodians think it's the tastiest part.. The legs are just like chicken though. For the most part the food was great.. and very similar to Thai food with a little less spice.. but the same basic components

My Skyland Avenger Blacksteel has some pretty amazing AR for factory condition

So I got married in July.. My wife and I spent 3 weeks in Cambodia for our honeymoon. I'm not usually one to put up personal pictures, but i'll make an exception for you guys. Here's the big day: (you can't see my watch.. but it was a Yacht-master Rolesium) Here's 2 of the only 3 wrist shots taken while on our 3-week tour: At Wat Nokor in Kompong Cham. The background is a sculpture of Jayavarman II.. the foreground is of course my omega Planet Ocean another: Eating deep-fried Tarantula in Skuon, Cambodia: On Koh Rung Island on the Guf of Thailand: In front of some ruins at Ta Prohm: Anyways.. so yeah, that's it I guess.. I hope the Missus let's me keep on with this hobby now that we're officially joined financially!

the point your referring to wouldn't be " Don't wear your rep(edit) watch in an AD!"... would it?

Yes you should speak with the seller. At least to see what he can offer you. If you can take a picture of the movement he might even be willing give you a discount on your next item if you'd prefer to get it fixed yourself.

Don't know about the codes, but from what I understand, the bezel is a drop in upgrade that requires no modification(correct me if i'm wrong anyone..)

I've got the same question. My PO is just a shade to big.. if i take out a full length its too tight.. Where is this mysterious half link?

You're right! I'll post them in a separate post

Lani has a good point.. but I feel that it has gone astray from Dudemeister's gist. In essence it seems as if there are now 2 distinct conversations: 1. The original conversation of whether or not an Authorised Dealer can confiscate your watches.. 2. The right of Customs Agents to seize contraband/prohibited items that are crossing borders... Customs officials would not be involved in the confiscation of a watch that is already in your possession. Customs agents have the exclusive right to search anything they deem fit so long as it's entering U.S. territory (and i think we all know that.. that's the part of this game that makes us the most nervous).. But once a watch is on your wrist and has PASSED through customs.. there's no way any customs official could ever touch it. Unless it's explicityly obvious that the item could not have been manufactured or produced within the united states and there's evidence that the item was smuggled. In which case, counterfeiting cases are dealt with by the FBI in the U.S. A counterfeit item alone by itself cannot be considered contraband since it is not a 'prohibited' item unless being smuggled... Some counterfeit watches even pass through customs and are taxed as real watches, with their unsuspecting buyers paying full tarrifs for a watch that isn't even real. So the facts still remain.. An authorised dealer cannot (at least legally) simply confiscate a watch you are wearing, but a customs officer certainly can, as long as it's not in your possession and it's crossing the border. (possession does not mean paid for)..
