I hear you, but i'm not buying [censored]. I'll buy a [censored] lathe before I pay $65 for a screw. Pardon my platinum member mouth.

Does anyone have a spare screw for a Ulysee Nardin Rubber strap? Rose gold preferably, but I can use stainless if you have one! Thanks in advance.

Nanuq if we ever get to meet in person, please have the decency to throw on a pair of draws under your Bear mane kilt... No one wants to see the moosticles.

For a second, I thought you were actually considering paying $9,000 for that turd. If the human body cannot go down 600,000,000 feet, why would we need to know the time at such distance? I never understood that. Keep that Sea-Dweller, and enjoy that DSSD rep!

Good advice from Lani. Maxi marine isn't overly big at all for a small wrist. You'll be fine. Chances are you'll wear even bigger watches eventually. My wrists and hands are on the small side, but even my Skyland or PAM is just fine. Rule of thumb, the lugs shouldn't be extending over the sides of your wrists.

3.5 hours later... I'm still laughing! Midgets! !! It aaaaaalllll makes sense now. I feel cleansed. aaah, well. Reps upon delivery aren't the only things with screws loose or missing.

I like the knurling too, well done. The green hands are cool looking. Nice watch, thanks for sharing!

We know how much you love your fish. Eventually you'll get that gen. The SF always felt chunky until I got the skyland, now it seems more moderate in size. The skyland doesn't wear as big as it looks. If I could change anything in my watchbox from rep to gen, it would be that. The rep quality as good as it is, pales in comparison to the SFSO. I'd never part with either of them!

Andrew let you take his picture? That was during the famous "stop stealing the lume powder" speech to the factorys. The only other known photo of him is where he is seen here with Joshua: This should scratch the surface on the midget thing. They prefer oompa loompa.

Many of us own both, I think we realize it but they don't, hence the "better than you" attitude. Go's with the territory of that particular brand though. Naiive is exactly what it is. The information is here for anyone that wants to look for it. This whole high level alert they have over a DSSD tells me they simply don't care enough to seek out the information, or want to turn a blind eye. Ignorance is bliss. Members here (again, most owning both gen and rep) seem to appreciate watches as a whole, in such a different way.

Done. Stay strong for your daughter, everything will be ok.

That watch looks huge! How many mm is that? The decoration on the movement looks fantastic. Nice looking watch, I like it. Thanks for posting all those good pics DZ, see you around RWG!

Niiiiice. Thanks Lan, I've been trying to find this, too.

I was kidding unless you win again! Theres irony in your girl theory, for example... Lani bought thousands of reps, you'd think he would be the one to get broken ones 4 times in a row, not me.

I was reminded of this thread when I opened the watchbox this morning. Steelfish on the wrist for the day. I still insist you get yourself a V3 Skyland BT.

Thanks Wheat! I was close! (#5)

Personally I couldn't care less if the raffles afford LoS enough money to buy a fleet of Enzo's. People got the chance to get some great watches they wouldn't normally be able to for a fair ticket price. As long as our forums aren't taking money from dealers or censoring (a reason i've stayed away from RG since the whole little white lies thread) then whats the problem? I commend the staff of RWG, as always, people here are free to talk about whatever we want to. I hope to see RWI back and those personal conflicts resolved. All the best. What we really need to be questioning is how the hell NORing has won 4+ raffles.

I don't follow. Gen ETA 2824-2's cost a lot more than $60.

I agree with the rest of it, but man... I live in a tropical climate and I liked my cargo shorts.

True love never fades, no matter what color you paint it. Glad to hear you two were reunited.

I like it. I also like it for this possibility that for all we know it could be the next PAM or something. I hope for you, that it is. Remember I said that and pay it forward with a personalized watch for me if and when that time comes. RWG family first! I think the bezel needs a little something. Even a machined rim in the center, or off center to break up the width of a plain bezel. You don't necessarily have to put a lot of detail into it and deviate from its simplicity, but thats my opinion if you're looking for it. Awesome work. Looks like vintage Geneva/Italian work.

The fit, the finish, the color of the steel... The bracelet screws, those crown guards, so impressive. Really. Bravo. These little things, the "minutia" as you so eloquently put it, the minor details that get even some damn good sub reps instantly outted are just simply not present on the WM9. Simply put, I'd be hard pressed to say "REP". That is quite a feat, given the model in question. Isn't that the most beautiful thing about this? Admittedly, I haven't been a fan of the price of these watches; having been known to say "we're supposed to be protecting ourselves from dropping $500 on a fake Rolex". I'm stubborn and By-Tor thanks for biting your lip with me (no pun intended [You too BK]). Truth is, with all these hair across your ass nuances finally being rectified, there's no question about "who has the best sub" outside of Geneva. The extra pocket full of pence on this rep seems well worth it for anyone that is leary of the $6,000+ double edged and ungreased buy-in to the Swiss crown facade. Needs a WM pearl though. Dead giveaway otherwise.

I can easily sum up my opinion on the immediate conversation... Knowing Reg likes things the way he does, and having acquired my Reg O' Rikka shortly before these pics were made, I felt only one timepiece was suitable for sponsoring the days event. One thing thats hard to dispute, a 1911 in its native caliber always aims to please.
