Back to the Daytona at the office:

This one now: Maybe this one later, just to give it some air:

"Black Widow" Friday:

WM9 V2

Who cares? She has the all-time best character name in film history! ("Oh gosh!" my wife said.)

You've all had better luck with rep quartz watches than the Mrs. has. She's had 2 or 3 break.

Hope you enjoy the Milgauss. I found the polished steel on mine attracted smudges like nothing I've seen, so I sold it.

Congrats on a nice camera and lens!

What a fabulous watch to have! I don't recall you posting about this Daytona before. Why would you want the modern one if you have this one?

Five month follow-up: Runs great, keeps excellent time (COSC standards), and the steel on the bracelet has the best finish of any brushed steel bracelet I've ever owned. Old pic:

I second Noel's sentiments. BK has fixed several problems for me, once on one of his watches I bought from another member. (Found this thread while looking for the WM9 thread I started. Search function wouldn't reveal it, so I have to search manually. )

Thanks, TJ. I used to wear gold all the time. Now I have this one, which I wear 1-2 times a month, my TT YM, which I wear weekly, and a RG 183, which I'm hit-and-miss with. The gold reps tarnish quickly here and require regular upkeep--I'm too lazy for that!

I bought this one from Silix a year or so ago. I asked for a Seagull model but got a 7750. The hour subdial should be tracking the hour hand. (Silix has never sold the one with the fixed hour subdial, to my knowledge.) It was a very nice watch and very accurate time-keeper, but too light for my tastes.

Decided to wear gold today: This watch always starts up with just a gentle shake.

V3 DS:

It's a complicated story... Paul Newman never wore one with a colored dial. Here's a couple of interesting links: http://doubleredseadweller.com/ http://www.qualitytyme.net/pages/rolex_articles/30daytona.html

Right. It isn't on the D40.

I bought my wife a D40 a couple of years ago. I like the images that come out of that camera better than those my D80 produces, at half the cost! I use a Tamron 90 macro lens with my D80. I bought it 2nd hand from Adorma and it's a great lens. If you're never going to use the macro lens as a portrait lens (which you really should do), then get the manual focus. That little 60mm AF-S full auto focus will double as a great little 90mm (equivalent) portrait lens! I use my 50mm 1.8 almost as much as I use my 18-200mm VR.

Astbury:

I like that watch, a lot. I wish it was repped well.

WM9 V2:

Also, Lawrence sells several 21J models, some for $82 shipped: http://www.houseofsouvenirs.com/omega_seamaster.htm (He's a recommended dealer on RWG1.1, but not here.) Doesn't Reg (Narikaa) sell these, too?

Here is one from Andrew advertised as having "thick lumi" markers and 10 mil thick gold wrapping: That's about as "lumi" as a DJ gets. (Still, it's rep lume, so who knows how bright it will be?) http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_12&products_id=1331 Not a bad looking watch for $248.

I try, too: My wife thinks I'm silly, but she does it too. (My cuff link should have been gold, not silver, but the blue works for me.)
