How about an online -E- get together next weekend? Say Sept 4 or 5th? Just have to pick a time that works. I'm suggesting that ANYONE and EVERYONE that is a member here, show up for a little get together in a general discussion thread. We could have drinks, watches, banter, etc. Get to know each other a bit? I promise to drink more than I should, and take and post pics of watches and God knows what else during the course of the thread. I encourage everyone else to do the same. Share some quick pics, have a drink, post something, etc. just make some fun posts. There's no reason we can't make the best of our distances. An E-shindig is the closest thing to a plausible international RWG G2G that I can foresee in the near future. Date and time are up for discussion. I hope to see some interest after I put myself out there and press the "Post New Topic" button, here we go!

It makes perfect sense. Your joke however.. I don't think its going to make the cut, it doesn't quite hack it!

That explains a lot. It was minimally wound, so that could explain the deviation. This has been very informative, cleared up many questions. Also, I never thought about hacking it. Thank you for the teachings, Z.

My AC helps reduce global warming by cooling the air! I don't know how you could live without it here. Sleeping would be horrible.

This is the guy I trusted one of my favorite pieces to, and he did an incredible job of course. Thanks for chiming in my friend, nice to E-see you! Look at this lume work... She's looking good, fellas. Freddy, thank you sir, I believe you nailed it. Here we are about 12 hours later, the trick worked, however the watch is about 30 seconds fast. -If it is gaining a bit since service, should I (being familiar enough with doing so) use the micro adjust index (#1 in diag.) accordingly? Zig, maybe you are familiar with this individual piece enough to tell me how accurate it was for you, and where to go at this point. As far as wearing out the clutch, that raises another interesting question. For a watch that is in rotation maybe once a week, is it better, longevity wise, to keep it on a winder, or let it die and reset it? Also, I am correct in that you should swirl the 7750's to start them, no turn or two on the crown to put a little reserve in it?

I've been doing exactly that Freddy, with mixed results. The problem is i've used two different watches to hypothesize. I knew it was not my two chrono's being out of whack, but me not knowing those little intricacies. I'm going to set the Skyland right now and report back. The watch is less than a year old, kept great time prior, but is fresh back from a The Zigmeister overhaul. A worthy test subject. Here go's the- "move the minute hand several minutes past the point you want to set it to & then move it back (counter-clockwise) to set it, you will minimize the deviation. At 12:27pm I moved it way past, than set it to 12:30... and plunged the crown. We'll see how it go's tomorrow morning.

Er... BT...? You've got to [/mancrush]. You have a wife and child to think about. Ken and 'nuq may disagree, and try to lure you in, persuading you to review replica Manolo stiletto's. Get it together man!

My two A7750's keep extremely accurate time, one of which, serviced by The Zigmeister. A peculiar thing I've noticed with the minute hand specifically on all chrono's has lead me to believe i'm doing something wrong. When I set the time, the minute hand seems to take a minute or two to engage. For instance, I set my Skyland this morning, and checked it many hours later now at 11PM, its accurate down to the exact second, however the minute hand is two minutes behind! It's not losing time so much as its taking time for the minute hand to engage after I set the time. What am I doing wrong?

Fantastic photo from you powershot. What photoshop tricks have you done to make it look so good? My wristshots -always- suck. I'm right handed and wear my watch on my right wrist. I don't know what I'm going to wear today. Omega sent me their new catalog in the mail and I didnt even ask for it. Maybe it will be an Omega day.

Its the best you're going to find without dropping hundreds of dollars on a WM9. Buy it from someone that will send you pics of your watch before shipping it, then let us have a look at it before you give the OK.

Interesting. He pulled a bait and switch. Hopefully you get an auto dial out of him.

I cought that right away, only because I have a quartz model. I feel for you having your bubble burst like that. No one notices the "Chronometer" missing, look how long it took even on here. No big deal. Would you notice looking at mine? Only after someone pointed it out right? However I'm sure you don't want to build a franken auto with a quartz dial. How much did you pay for it?

For the past 3-4 days...

Havent seen the movie but i'm looking forward to it, and Leo's Day/Date. The genesis coupe and sedan are both really impressive. I wouldn't mind having a go at tuning up one of those 2L turbo coupe's.

I think you guys over think this stuff sometimes. There is variation amongst the gens as well. At some point should you just go gen, because the reps never going to make you happy. I'm speaking in general, not to any of you specifically.

good to know, thanks for updating!

Why. Because she can? Should she go crash an Enzo next then?

Please let us know your findings.

A pretty funny guy gave you that member title! Speaking of, that thread is about due for a resurrection.

Weather.com says... "Dangerous heat index. Outdoor exposure should be limited." "Feels like temperature today 107 degrees." No wind. Humidity ranges from 60-80%. Your clothes stick to you as soon as you walk out the front door. Check your mailbox, you will perspire, smacked by damp heat. Anyone that's visited Mickey Mouse during the summer knows what i'm talking about. After an early evening thunderstorm last night, wildlife abounds! I had a hard time capturing the pics, my lens kept fogging up from the humidity. So, one good shot, and two quickies, fair? They come out of the grass after the rain... A common tree frog. Posted up on my tiki torch poll. "Hey Dan! You throwing steak on the grill tonight, hook a lizard up!" Those are lizards called anoles. They are everywhere. I'll get a better picture for you soon. If you look at the one above, that little guy broke half his tail off and grew it back, notice the grey section.

Really? Seriously?! That has to be a record. 30 watches and one problem? You sir, have somehow managed to stop the replica space time continuum, and transport perfection (less 3%) through some sort've Guangzhou rabbit hole. I'd say you need a moon watch immediately, with all this space age [censored] you have going on, but you probably already have one- in perfect condition no less. Take me to your leader! As far as this new QC.. I could speculate either way. Josh could very well be scoffed he's bleeding money just like the consumers, sending watches back and forth, sending replacement parts on the house. The cost to cease that practice could be less than letting it continue. Maybe the pics serve two purposes. Not only for buyers, but for him to ultimately QC his runners, the ones dropping the ball. Maybe my upside down flip lock clasp was the straw that broke the camels back. It could be me, that has changed things forever! Viva la revolution! Space age [censored]. Moonwatch man... Moonwatch. I'm sober, seriously, I'm not into that anymore. But the google search for that image had some tasty looking pictures.

Anyone see the new banner on Josh's site? Top right of his page, "Quality Check Procedures" He's outlines a new QC model. He is now delivering pics, including pics of watch on the timing machine, and waterproofing for watches $200 and up. Sounds like a positive step... Discuss!

Hey David, welcome back. Sorry I don't know a good spot for a riveted bracelet. Just hit the trusted dealers sites and browse around the Rolex section.

Nice chop!
