  1. A watch that gathers nanuq's interest? Must be something good...
  2. compounded yearly... not daily. Send your RWG bucks to me and I will give you 7.5% yearly and beat your bank back home by 2.5% You know you are a dork when you bust out the calculator for the RWG bank.
  3. I haven't managed to scratch any of mine yet.
  4. Give me any malbec from Argentina or Spanish Rioja if you are talking bank for your buck. Sipping the Don David 2004 reserve right now... amazing wine. Just returned from a tour of Napa. Stag's Leap wine cellar was my personal favorite, their fay estate reserve is a great cabernet sauvignon for ~85, silk in the mouth. My girlfriend preferred the cask23 one there, but at 180 go figure (and she needed 2 bottles). I was impressed by the chardonnay from Clos pegase, great value. Cake bread had a decent one as well. Not really an expert on these matters though.
  5. Sounds like someone watched mondovino.... so true though.
  6. I prefer to have the swan neck... nice having the watch taken a little higher in accuracy.
  7. They are relatively harmless now... killed by political correctness. They used to reshape the children of the elite into men and leaders, but the reformation part is over.
  8. I qualified with "just about" specifically for the MBW vintages or some others... that definitely wasn't a universal statement if you re-read it.
  9. An expert would spot just about any of our reps from a mile off. Its just a hobby we all share and enjoy.
  10. It is a possible upgrade but I'm not sure if the cost/benefit analysis justifies it.
  11. I am very picky? Might fool people but the sapphire looked fake to me. I don't think they can get a rep movement in the ultr-slim case which is why it was quartz.
  12. Check offers I have one for sale No because of different subdial spacing. Case size will also be wrong. Also wrong movement, should not be automatic T21 stands for Tropic 21. It is the code for the genuine crystal to put on the watch. You can get one for ~25 bucks. Crown/pushers correct I think but gen parts will fit the DW case Some might? Not sure.
  13. Can you withdraw me? If it is too late that is fine.
  14. Get well soon Joe! Let me know if you got my sub in if you get a chance.
  15. Yep, like I said nice they put the screws in each bracelet link. Thanks for pointing out the crown issue on the old silix, never noticed that. I think I am going to do the same as you and get this one and take the cross off my old one. Hope more pics of the bracelet go up, I'm curious if this one has a more diamond-cut look in person. Wish he was offering an asian version so I could use the old movement. admin is right that the black dial looks better - at least to me.
  16. It is smaller than a panerai but bigger than a Rolex Submariner... My girlfriend called it the "big watch" before I got a 1950. It stayed the "big watch" and the fiddy became "big ben" or the "flava flav" watch. It really is a beauty though.
  17. This new one does have the correct bracelet with screws on each link!
  18. The other version that has the correct clasp (silix-prime, etc) has the correct cross from what I can tell from mine. You could probably pop one off that one if you had it and put it on this one. I can't really tell the difference in the other correct-clasp one and this one besidese the cross? That one had a screw-down crown, etc as well? Could this be the 2nd iteration of that watch?
  19. I had one of these and just was not that impressed (was a grail search for me, always loved the watch)... could only get it in quartz and the sapphire was a dead give away.
  20. I didn't know jetmid had a retarded little brother.
