Rob outdid himself with the pulled pork this year and we had a blast (literally) killing floating jugs with a plethora of firearms.  I will be there next year and hopefully will get a chance to put some faces to names!

Huh?

Thank you sir (for a man who KNOW's how to smoke some meat). My step father in law bought an electric smoker (yes, it's cheating but) and some indigenous Texas puhkhan not PEEcan that was 47 years old that my grand daddy planted in 1968. Some Texas made Adkins BBQ Rub and BOOM it was on 20 hours and pretty dadgum good too w/cole slaw and macaroni salad and the works. The weather was beautiful too. Here is a few pics of The Rockin K Ranch for those who wonder.

This is my back tank (pond) where we shoot an i have been shooting 45-46 years.

jmb can chime in about the Spring Fling as a whole. Add a gtg to the festivities and oh my,,,,that has the potential to be epic I think.

This year we smoked 4 pork shoulder Boston butts for pulled pork w/47 year old indigenous Rockin K Ranch pecan (puhkhan..one syllable). ALl the fixin's and more. We shot guns for a few hours, some fished, some sat around. leese779 made a "yard Yatzee" game. Prolly had 30 people at 5pm. Then came the pit fire round table, Smore and More hang out. The Fling is in what used to be my grandparents garden...a space in back of the 1 acre home site that is like 165'x75'. It's pretty serene if i do say so myself. I'll out some pics and video of the Fling soon but the real gage will be a nod from jmb, so we'll see when he reads this and chimes in. 

I have his thread on RWI, RWGbz and here at RWGcc....so

Jeff,

How did I miss THIS....it is a keep for this GMT 1675 nut.

Thanks bud

Huh?

Crap shiitty pic....my luck posting this at 4am first in the dark on an iPad half asleep. Then again at 0736 in the dawn, on an iPad still half asleep so...OH and cannot find the edit button.

Built by my good friend jmb, parts found by yours truly (1 year of combined accumulation), dial bought from RWI member markh, dial restored by (stick markers) by Kirk Rich Dial Corp. ETA Valjoux 7750. The red hands by Mr. Wonderful WSO in Houston, Texas. Gen 703 (I think I got it from Ephry), caseback by jmb...etc.

Rep Daytona case and still trying to find a 500mph tachy work.

Mine

Nope, negatory

Dang...way cool !!!!!!!!!!

See "letter of the law" and "the real world"..ya just never know, It's cool, it's a headache and it is very interpretable.

Rolex is like a box a chocolates...ya never know what yur going to get. IMO there is Rolex's "letter of the law" and there is "the real world" and the [censored] NEVER matches, never.

My 1675 has an ETA2846 with an a2836 GMT mod....it is a bad ass too, serviced and built by CLS.

Again,]

Must stop the thoughts, MUST STOP

Drooled's ass, I just came...     

This is right up my future alley. Brilliant

Just read the thread on rwi. He says it was 4-5k, not 3. And don't think he's selling. He's a real daytona fanatic! If it were 3k, i'd buy it in a heartbeat. At 4-5k, i'd go with a gen 16528

My bad.......sorry

I was acutally refering to Junio's English...as alot of the missunderstanding that happens with his posts and details. He is Italian btw. Great guy.....

It is sneed..Junio uses a translator program at times....I have spent a fair amount of time bantering with him..He is fine, it IS the language barrier.

Basically,  he has a gen 16523 with a transplated Zenith movement out of something else, Ebel I think, 400 calibre. He goes on about "low beat high beat vs. low beat" that gets confusing. That's all there is to it. He bought a gen 16523 without its movement and had another Zenith added. Nothing more or less and got a helluva deal on the whole package meaning, he has about $3000 in the whole damn watch.

I had a brain freeze with the 9411 and 9401...sawwy

@ mil04  I have this black Yuki dial right now I'll sell.

@sgtguk this is a sceen shot of dials he had in stock like 3 weeks ago. I would just PM him at HF and ask. I bought #4.

for the Blue flake I go Pvirus over at Homage Forum...however he is tweaking the dial font right now but the color and font SIZE are killer

Dammit dude..I WANT IT.....DIBs

Phong is the only case I know about that will work with a Zenith (whatever calibre). The plungers won't line up with a rep case.....there are a few threads here on the subject.

So IMO Phong case $$$$  Zenith X $$$$, gen dial $$$$  = HIGH DOLLAR...I know a guy Junio on RWI, gen 16520 with a 400 Zenith I think....clips about $3000
