I have gone to libraries that block Youtube. We do seem to have quite a bit of censorship.

Do not get this model. A Better model should be out by the end of the year, with no minute hand and the AP Logo placed above the 6 marker giving the watch a cleaner look.

Quality Control. The pics you are looking at are a previous customers purchase.

I am really bad. I started in 1988 when I purchased and Ebel 1911 for $9,600 when I only had about $10,000 in the bank. I was living in a shack when I purchased an $1,100 Longines Evidenza in 2007. Then a Perrelet after that. I do accept donations however.

An Ellipse would be nice and easy to rep. But I have never seen even a halfway decent one. I bought a Jacques Lemans Nostalgie N-204 for my cheap dress watch need. Quartz, but nothing ticks when the Chrono is off, so that was a great surprise. Looks like a $1.2 million dollars for really not much money at all.

Thanks Pete. You are awesome!

Well so far I have used sandpaper and it does not have that professional brushed look. I suppose I'll try metal polish next, then off to my local jeweler. It's no big deal. The watch is too big for me anyway.

Unless you were a repeat offender I feel a warning would suffice. It seems like RG puts the ban hammer down without much provocation these days. Well George if you like RG, you can always go back In a month.
Yes. I'll wait. So what is wrong with RepGeek anyway that some here don't like them? The forums all seem the same to me.

Nobody contacted me with a reason. All I know is someone posted and told me I was 5 posts short of 100 lifetime posts. I replied I'd be more careful next time. Then I was gone. So sad. So very sad.

I posted a watch for sale over at RepGeek and received a notice two hours later.
"1 Month Ban. Read the Rules."
I did read the rules. I do have a short-term memory problem from all the drugs I take, but I did try hard to list it correctly. Since when does human error require a ban?
I have a saying that I teach my students. "People suck. Not some of them. All of them." It's nice to see that I have been proven right.

Where can I find the best rep black ceramic sub?
I have just ordered a 116613 Tu-Tone from TrustyWatchGuy. Takes paypal and shipps quickly.
I should sell my MBK Royal Oak Off Shore Chrono to offset the purchase. Mine has the running seconds at 9.

I decided to go with the Gray Dial w/ Diamond Bezel.

Wearing "Rodney" today...
Ha ha.
Because it's all beat up?

Why do I post my trobles on RWG? Am I in search of fame and fortune? Yes, of course just like any one else.
Do I contribute on RWG? Not much. But that is only because when I look at my $108 Explorer or WackoBirdkeepers Seamaster or Josh's IWC 3717 I don't see the need for modifications like you guys do. I feel like a beginner lost in a sea of masters that know exactly what they are doing.
I was convicted today and fined $500. I have 20 days to file an appeal. All I did was tell a kid that I taught Chess and where the Chess Club was located and for him to have his parents call me. If our Government is OK with having a disabled man defend himself without the aid of an Attorney or Disabled Advocate and feel the need to tell me that it does not matter if I am a kind man or not and it only matters if I violated the letter of the law or not.
That is not the America I learned about in school. I posted it only to raise awareness and maybe get some assistance.
In my mind I felt it important to RWG. What happens the day when Rolex et.al says enough! What do we do when our reps are illegal to wear in public? As of today I am fearful to speak to anyone. Tomorrow will I be fearful to tell the time?

Cornerstone: Of course I appreciate your input. As I am disabled and in chronic pain, I do not think and behave as an abled bodied person. I have to do things much faster and oftentimes by myself.
I wanted them to have any and all information on me. My point is even if I did break an ordinance, once they found out I was a kind teacher, and one that taught in a state of pain, and they still wanted me prosecuted, then I would know that they are evil.
This is the second time I have been harassed for teaching chess. It was time to put all the cards on the table and make a stand. This is America after all, and all I did was talk. If I plead guilty to talking on a public street, I might as well never speak again.

Commiserations on your woes George.
(Is it a wise move to have all that stuff on YouTube in the circumstances? )
What videos should I be concerned with? My videos show both my natural and staged interaction with the children.
I personally am not fearful of court. Alas my body does not want to cooperate. Interstitial Cystitis is a horrible disease and I have had to go once evey 3 to 5 minutes. A real workout, especially with the pain.
They are prosecuting a sick disabled man for wanting to share his knowledge with people young enough to take that information to the master level. Age is very important in learning chess. I had expected the call to be from
CNN Heroes about my nomination. Teaching children for free is very noble. Instead it was the Police wanting to put me in jail.
Very shameful.

It is important to be kind and generous. It is the only way to feel the true evil that the world has to offer you.

Bezel? A scratch on the back of case is enough to make me sick. I have a history of buying two of the same watches. One to look at and admire before I go to bed, and the other to wear from time to time.
Yes. I sleep with my watches. A true love that no woman could ever provide. And they don't talk.

Had I won the Presidency and felt obligated to wear the Jorg Gray, history would have recorded the first Presidential suicide.
