That 42mm Cartier Pasha rocks. I tried a gen on at the local watch shop and it looked amazing on the wrist. The Rose Gold with white-silver dial and brown croc strap looked even better. The rep looks amazingly close.

I wish they could get the sapphire right...

Actually, I'd want to take this opportunity to ask about the vintage Daytonas.

I've heard a lot of good things about the DW vintage Daytonas, the assym pushers, correct subdials etc... so is there any fault? I think i've read that the hour subdial does not work, is this true?

I have only recently learnt to appreciate the beauty of these vintage pieces, way better than the modern daytonas in my opinion.

Nanuq and Ubi and other rolex experts I'll love to hear your feedback.

Yes middle hour subdial on DW does not work. Some people have trouble with it dying and buy extra movements (rbj bought an extra, etc)

The lemania copy ones are more reliable and durable and less expensive... but also less accurate.

quality over quantity... you will learn more and end up buying the good stuff later anyways.

It does

Ahhhhh If I had only known...

You guys are the best though, I will be sure to use it next time. Thanks for the info.

Finally... I wish this board had an option to ignore every post of a certain UID if a user choses too.

Whoever beat me to the $495 watch with the movement is my sworn mortal enemy.

You will be very happy with your purchase

Been thinking about that... this may be an expensive project.

Welcome! Nothing but nice things to say about their service.

watch them call the gen fake

T-minus 4 hours till pugwash calls it a hockey puck

DW... or the one Luckyyy had a while back with the real movement.

see below.

Do people still play team fortress for Halflife? That game wasted many hours... never liked the CS mod.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Speaking of furniture... anyone got a connection on real or replica eames lounge chairs? Always wanted one but I treat my furniture to poorly to drop even 2,500 on a chair... Although I did pick up a real aeron and love it to death.

"C" on my fiddy papers :thumbsup:

But no background

Do you wera a PAM when you golf? Just curious. I'm not sure I want to be staring at my watch while I am golfing.

I don't; the PAMs are too big for me (while playing) and I would ruin the leather band out on the course. I prefer something smaller w/ a SS bracelet (i.e. sub).

I am pretty sure the gen is bigger than that... tried it on and it is a MONSTER.

I've been pondering this one for a bit. Just curious to know...do the gens keep time as well as the reps do? I know the reps tend to lose a few seconds a day, but what about the gens?

Keep in mind I don't know anything about how movements work.

Yes, the gens lose (or gain) a bit each day as well. Basically any mechanical watch does.

hahaha def the khakis; can't be sticking out there. The green jackets are cool though.

There are like 20 spaceviews on ebay... may have to get one (250-500).

LOL!!!

It still has a TRL on the caseback. too funny.

Had the luck of going to the tournament in style, chose to sport my 1950 in hopes of sparking conversation. I lost count of the number of Rolex day-dates I saw, usually in yellow gold. One place where I would bet most of them were real. Following in popularity was the ubiqutous submariner on the younger guys. Really young guys had the standard issue one (20-24). People 25-30 seemed to have two-tone submariners. I did see one omega SMP. The japanese people stayed away from the rolex and had on other brands I am unfamiliar with, but they looked really nice.

I'm not really surprised not to see any Panerai, as it is not the typical "sports" watch like the sub. It was funny that the older people who looked like they wanted just to watch had on the presidents. The younger people who looked like they wanted to be playing golf, right then and there, all had the submariners.

Another interesting note was the consitancy of the outfits. Every person there wore, without exception (well there was one idiot in madras shorts)

* Khaki shorts

* Polo Shirts

* Golf Shoes

This uniform did not change.

On a side note, I stopped in Atlanta on the way there and the sales rep at the cartier counter was much impressed by my 1950 from EL (swan neck, AR, etc). I was just doing a quick walk-by and asked if I wanted to try any on, said she liked the fiddy. I tried on the Santos 100 crono. IT IS ENORMOUS, felt even larger than the fifty. I can't see anyone wearing that beast!

Any other golfers here?

I have the JLC, it makes a very loud BZZZZ like an alarm should. See offers section Too small for me and financing other projects.
