Congratulations TeeJay! I wore the 16610 today...

I have all 3 for my 42mm and I find myself wearing the rubber the least.

Ubi/R, I usually don't requote the pictures due to E-etiquette, but in this case I'm making an exception. As I read through the list, starting with the PO, I said, "yeah, I like this one, this is my favorite". Then I got to the Tudor, and found myself saying the same thing, repeating each time I got to the next watch. Then the last one, I scratched my head for a minute but read along, and how precious that is man. You know I'm about to wed, and we will try to make a baby on our honeymoon in March. I'm very emotional lately, you can't post this sort've stuff. What are my co-workers to think seeing this tough Italian guy's (lol) eyes welling-up at his desk?! I love the German DW on the IWC. So interesting. I'd insist on having mine this way! A really tight collection for anyone to lust after, and i'm not saying this because of your recent generosity.

Looking nice! Have a new strap in mind for it?

How about that! congrats big guy! No during-birth wristies? Inquiring minds want to know what watch u chose for the birth of your first son! Looking forward to seeing him. I might join you as a dad at the end of the year. Get sleep while u can.

Girls, eh? Nice watch, the J12's seem to be well favored. Looks great. Hey, Opti- have her look at those new quartz 1:1 TAGs.

Funny you should mention. Good topic! Gentleman, be careful with your words, dont get in trouble like I did. I'm getting married in almost exactly a month. I told my, well, mine as well say wife now, that if something happened to me. "Give my bike to so and so, my guitar, this, that, my watches go to this guy, that guy..." And she had a FIT. I don't have a lot, but the stuff I have is nice I guess. She makes more money than me, so her being offended wasn't a selfish thing, it was a very touching thing. She was insulted that she thought I would leave her without my prized posessions, because they are "man toys" and I wanted my dad/friends to have them (of course I didnt leave her completely out). She felt those would be her connection to me and would cherish having them, it seemed extremely important and she was very hurt. So like I said, I don't have much, and she can have it if I go. Anyhow, I told her If God forbid something happened to me, I thought she should get rid of it and move on with her life (we are in our early 30's) and not have all these memories around her. She cried more. I probably cried too. You can only watch that so long without succumbing to the emotion yourself! So tread lightly, your wives might cherish those watches more than you think. If something happened to me I would direct her here. She would login with my info and I would expect Admin to see to things personally, that means you Nanuq (No offense T, I just know Bob better, and he's married. ). I think this could be a SOP. Just send them here and let admin's assign some helpers (forum elders/pros) as they see fit.

This is what makes RWG great. People like you M. Bravo sir!

And a shame it is, that we don't hear more about ladies reps. I thought bigger was better for ladies, but Mrs. P4 doesnt want a big beefy slab of watch on her wrist either. She has been enjoying her TAG Link she got for xmas, and I believe that had I gone with a larger sized watch, she wouldn't wear it. I like that DJ dial, however upgrading this will be fun, i'll tune in to watch. What is Mrs. Ubi's interest level in your watch hobby, and this project?

Of course I would, thats my favorite version! How much are we talkin Ubi?

That is a really nice pick up, B! I really like it. It's like the chrono version of my oldest rep! the one on the right.. What is the model #? And what is a fair price to look for on the pre-owned market?

You could do that, sure. Josh would probably replace the watch. It would cost you about $30-40 to ship, and you'd wait around a month, minimum. Then what happens with your next watch when it comes broken, then the next, and you've already begun burning your bridge? Do what you can on your side to quality control your pieces, because its not going to be done in China. Thats all we're trying to tell you. This is too easy not to do. When you receive your reps, run through this checklist. - Inspect it for damage, make sure it works and isn't broken. Make sure the screws in the bracelet, bezel, etc. are intact. Make sure the spring bars are securing the bracelet to the case properly. -check the caseback, they come loose most of the time. Unscrew it, and check that you got the movement you ordered. Make sure the O-ring is in the caseback. Grease it (heavy silicone waterproof grease, like bearing grease you can get at a bicycle store.) Tighten it down as hard as you can. You can open and close the case with the sticky ball method (search that term) or get a rubber ball, like a dog toy for example) -Inspect the stem, Clean any debris from the threads then dab some of that heavy silicone waterproof grease on them.

This is for you Neil- He was nice to me when I was a noob... Who would've thought? Never bought any watch off of him... Hope you are finding peace in this world or the next TTK... ...

That was $50 out the window, they dont do anything extra when you pay for waterproofing, gotta do it yourself or have a watchsmith do it. Don't worry, I've been there, done that.. Caseback arrived hand loose. Josh made it up to me, but it's the point.

No matter the size of the wrist, the DNA of that watch is going to add a touch of bravado to anyone. And bravo it is! No one can convict you of being overly swaggered by taking the time to post those artistically contrasting pics!

I have to laugh at this thread, 131 pages long, and no one gives a damn what kind've whimsy, clever, word you posted in relation to the word prior. No... No kinship, no quoting and complimenting the great comeupwiths. (i've had [a lot of] rum, lets let that one slide) Its all about the post count, eh? I see a lot of familiar faces not trying to hide! Even though I started it (and make sure you all are well aware of it), at least i'm not sleazing my way to the top like some of you. Shameful. ahem.. so, what was that word Justasgood? Again? Got it... EN DEN?

Lani's going to get a boner when he reads this.

I am just being a smart ass. its a telephoto macro lens, and the for the price ($0.00) I think I'll keep it!

awesome work. I just got my Tamron macro lens tonight and i'm sucking bad. Its a 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 ...whatever the hell that means. All I know is if I get within 5 feet of anything, its blurry. How am I supposed to take close-ups if I cant get close?!

Thanks for everyone thats offered help!

On the small side Ubi. I usually pull a ton of links out of my bracelets. Small in all the wrong spots!

But you do it so well. Want to do a few cases for me?

I would be extremely greatful. Thanks so much A!
