Sucks. Which customs port did it come through?

By the way, for the 1665 virgins like myself, could you describe what the problem with the MBW caseback is and what you did to fix it? Thanks.

That's a winner! It looks fantastic. You selling?

Chrono pushers stick out too far on the rep.

it's on my list, for sure. but i need to see one in person first. i think 49mm might just be over the top, so I need to try it on.

That's it, and you shouldn't need to press very hard. It'll move with a small screw driver tip at an angle and the stem will pull right out.

Yea, that Link isn't bad. I'd like to see an ETA based white dial Carrerra though...

Keep in mind that the gen bracelet does - in my opinion - sort of have that tin foil feel too it.

Yea, you sorta have to keep the one side out of the hole while you release the other side.

I'm not sure, but I wonder if SHITINERAND factors in somehow?

Which case are you going with, l&t? The EL?

That's a mouthwatering post. I don't think anything can stop me from buying a gen 177H.... Err except maybe reading a few more accounts of Panerai customer service.

It might just be me, but it appears as though LUMINOR MARINA and PANERAI are not parallel on Davidsen's dial.

Actually, he didn't: http://www.historybuff.com/library/refbarnum.html hehehe

Nice of him to not pull the crown. So we can see that it's roughly a 30s exposure. Cool shots!!

Well it's not the movement that is in my $100 TTK/TWG CN sub. I don't know what it is.

Heh. No. Ubi's is some sort of TW Best / MBW with the TTK/TWG dial and bracelet... not to mention hand shaped CGs, gen insert, gen crown and tube, gen tudor hands, and god only knows what else.

Rolexes (Rolii?) and pie!! I'm in.

GORGEOUS

Me either. But at this price I think I might just have to get a second one!!

I was looking for the good stories.

Certainly you must have some good stories to tell....

hehehehe

Great account of what was clearly an excellent trip!

Just compare the national averages for muder, robbery, and assault to the rates in NYC and you'll see what I mean. NYC exceeds the national average in those categories. We are not talking about populated cities, we're talking about crime on a per capita basis across the country. Now, yes, NYC crime has been on the decline, but that has also been a nationwide trend so we can't chalk that up to local politics - although guys like Rudy are high on my wishlist for becoming future Presidents of this great nation!
