in my eyes the coffee works fine

but that s only my opinion

helmut

thanks for watching

theres more to come

helmut

nice work

Yes, I agree. And its not just the lack of response to the 2 divas (I mean rep celebrities of course ), even aspiring noobs with IMHO good picturetaking skills hardly get any response....

Like earlgrey-erfurt for example he posted a whole lot of nice pictures in the last couple of days, but response was very limited..... so he was wondering:

He had 9 pictures. Well made pictures nice setup, panerai catalouges in the back, even funny the last pic with the dog.

Still only 3 replies.... how much time and work and thought must he have put into this !?!

His next thread had 8 pictures in with a new artistic setup, good title... Also only 3 replies.

I think it deserves a little more.

PW and BT probably know they are stars here in the repworld, (really NO offense, a lot of your posts are informative and inspiring) but a lot of new talent gets demotivated by not getting any or hardly any response I guess...

Its not just the "usual suspects" who dont get the response they deserve.

I will try to use the new rating system more often and replying to more posts which I enjoy even if I cant come up with some superwitty remark.

The hope dies at last

thanks for your statement and the admin words, i dont think that the weather or holidays are the reason for less replying.

as a new member and noob in replica collecting i am watching the big three forums rwi, geegs and rwg. I posted several times pics of my reps and my enthusiastic first mod to show them the people who are interested. and i got many positive replys for my post. except here

as rolexsandwich quote i was a bit angry about the high number of non replyers but as time goes by it doesn t bother me to much now.

glad to see this discussion

so we will see what happen in winter

cheers from germany

Hi I was just a bit bored and decided to give it a try installing the jimmy CG by myself.

It is very simple I guess, took a few tries to get the rubber sleeve to fully fit into the guard, but thats done already!

Now I am stuck at trying to put the lever onto the guard. The wee pin that comes with it... Is there a special trick to put it in? It is quite a tight fit and i have tried pushing and lightly hammering with no luck so far... dont dare to hammer it too hard as I dont want to scratch or ruin the cg...

can anyone help?

Thanks!

try to hammer it carefully with a piece of wood and a hammer(between pin and hammer), or press it with a tool which you use to fit bracletts (make them smaller)

Prince

not only your watch is amazing

your skills in photography are so impressivly

cheers helmut

The 217 is very nice--better than the 127 as the font colour is better. Thin, I know, but I prefer it over the gen.

thats my opinion too!

And i think and hope Davidsan will do his best for Victoria

cheers

helmut

helmut

hi my friends,

i have contacted him often in the last weeks and got some nice straps from him without any problem. he has problems with his webside i think some softwareprobs so you can only reach him per email or on the bay charlyjakob.

i dont know about dealing with watches but if you contact him he will surly answer, sometimes quick sometimes after a while..

so i hope this answers your question

cheers from germany

helmut
