Great. Thanks for the response!

Been a while for me  looks like ZF has a claimed 1:1 with a Miyota. Is this worth the premium over the JF V10? 
 

Any better versions out there? Legend still working on APs at all?

I’m not an old timer, but it’s been a while since I visited. It’s sad to see somewhere like this that has meant so much to so many slowly age. This was my go to forum and the one that had the people I trusted most. 

It’s new so not shocked by its on for a second day in a row.

Hmm.. I’m not sure I get the compass points, unless the seconds hand functions as a needle.

Depending on what hemisphere you’re in, you line up the hour hand to the sun, and turn the inner bezel until south points between 12:00 and the hour hand. 

Still not sure on it. Haven’t quite bonded yet. 

Any interest in taking on a ETA2894 service? Can’t find anyone that want to touch it locally. It’s a gen Gevril Tribeca that more than likely has never been serviced. 

jigelow just PM Mike to discuss the job. MOAB

Without a date, it doesn't really matter where they are when you remove them and where you place them back on. I always do 12:00 so I can line them up when placing them on and have everything the same way they were when I removed them. 

I still consider this a Rolex rep even though John Mayer would say "homage".

That looks fantastic!

I agree with everything so far. 

Additionally, posting seems to be slow, even from the old guard here. We need to get the band back together, man!

In all seriousness, activity will ebb and flow as life gets in the way. If just seems that this ebb has occurred simultaneously for a lot of the main members that would typically drive conversation here. 

At at the end of the day, it's all of our responsibility to keep the board alive, both from a financial perspective as well as content. The above is a good start. 

 

Please forgive my ignorance but i am curious ....why is it so long for RWI to be back ? 

What is the most difficult thing to work on ?

Depends on the damage done. It would be easy if they were just creating a site from scratch. But they're trying to salvage what was left in the databases and backups to rebuild, I'd  image. 

It's the difference of tearing a building down and build a new one or trying to rebuild something that's already been there. 

 

Looks nice mate !
I think it’s similar to mine but what are the spec please ?

I have noticed some similarities of ours! Smart minds and all!

How about WatchOutlet?...

formerly Watchstation.

I don't have experience with them, but they are a trusted dealer here. You can read about feedback or just discussions about the various TDs here:

Upgrayedd!

 

Or maybe this one.....

 

Lol. She's a beaut, for sure! I'm currently attracted to the "distressed" look. Your Paci is far too classy for me!

Thanks for the tip. There's some nice ones in there and much cheaper than what I'm looking at currently. 

Anyone else have some good places for straps?

 

Its Genuine so I cheated a little  R Factory

Had a hunch between the sharpness and the hand stack!

Wow. I know nothing of Explorers, but that thing really pops! I could see it on a nice sporty Omega-style strap...mesh black with orange stitching. 

Dipping my toe back in to PAMs after a four year stint in Rollie land. It's only a 111, but I'll need a good strap in order to look myself in the mirror every morning. 

I've been looking at Corrigia. Pretty much the look I'd like, but I'm obviously paying for it. What other makers are out there that I should consider?

 

Just love these ! 

You need to just let me know when you're selling pieces ahead of time because you have some fantastic ones!

I'm coming along. My first rep was a 177, but I just wasn't ready. After a lot of oyster divers, I think it's time. Builds like this simply convince me I'm right to come back.
