Hi, I'm a 1 year man, also in NYC. Enjoy. Mendota ( jeff )

I'm giving up on the 2 watches that don't run, and I do acknowledge you made a gesture to show concern, but I still wasted more than $ 700.00 due to your neglect and irradic behavior. Also it's manipulative to offer your eye issues in a dramatic plea for understanding. I'm a doctor and I've heard these kind of stories forever. You probably have diabetes and I am probably correct in assuming you have managed it adequately for some time as do millions of people with diet and perhaps oral medication. Glaucoma too is a chronic condition that unfortunately millions of people have to deal with. It's a condition causing increased pressure in the eye, It sometimes doesn't need medication, but most people manage it with drops which keep the pressure normal. Although untreated it can cause blindness in severe cases, eye drops and an occasional check by the eye doctor is all it entails for almost everyone in the modern world. Then there's blepharitis, a crusty inflammation of the eyelid, possibly with some infection around the eye lashes. Warm compresses when possible and drops or ointment usually cure it in a week or two although the drops might be continued so the infection doesn't linger. Most people keep working as they treat blepharitis. Some might take a few days to get it under control. So you have a few issues that most people take care of with a visit or two to their doctor and a bit of care at home. They rarely miss work; so I think it's misleading to offer these as an excuse for anything.

Alcoholism is a progressive disease. Life gets more and more unmanageable, and only getting sober will change things. Your story is typical, full of chaos and anger. The only hope is getting sober. Get sober, and the rest will get better ; but first you have to stop drinking and drugging. Alcoholics Anonymous can save your life. Maybe you've tried it and you weren't ready. Now you better be ready. Do it man. Things won't get better if you don't - they'll get worse until you end up in jail, in a hospital, or in the morgue.

Amazingly beautiful. What do you use to take your pictures. Again, thanks for the help yesterday. jeff

I'm in exactly the same boat so if we can locate these unique screws, let's get a bunch. I'm searching and will let you know if I score. jeff [ mendota ]

I have two watches, an AP and a Patek, both expensive - took ages to come, and NEITHER ONE RUNS at all... not a tick. No answer to Skype. Neil obviously has a problem and that's it for me.

Mine arrived frozen : I've had two in a row that don't run. I can't get TTk to do anything so far. I had the first looked at by a local jewelr to see if it was something simple : No luck.

I'm a coffee nut too - roast my own etc. I like the Capresso - their simplest model.

There are some sites that compared to dealers here are extremely expensive, but it would be too extreme to call them scammers. They deliver what they promise for the price they quote. They may well be 2 or 3 times higher than these dealers, but who knows their overhead etc. If people pay them, what can you say ? I don't want to sound like I'm defending them. I wouldn't deal with them now due to price, but the few I'm referring to were not scammers with me. Bestswiss was one example. When I first tried the rep hobby, I paid $ 800 dollars for a watch I could get for half that, but it was a good watch ( I had it looked at by a watch jeweler ), and they replaced a faulty watch without any hesitancy when I received a watch with a problem. That's all I can say.

Thank you. I'll do what you suggest.

I found my black Bezel on the floor and noted my submariner was without one. The diagnosis was easy. Could someone tell me the way to replace it. Thanks.

Can anyone give me advice on the best way to deal with the vintage PAM strap holding bars and the tiny screws that secure the bars. I have spent hours on one change of straps. The other more frequent spring bar or screw mechanism isn't bad, but the watches with the two bars that come out at right angles and go into each side of the strap give me trouble, both on getting the best sequence of steps to get the strap on, and then to deal with those tiny screws. Any hints would be appreciated.

My attention was brought to an article in Watch... Magazine that announced the results of a prestigious watcxh competition in Geneva. The Grand Prix winner was a watch by Richard Mille. I Googled around and found a picture of the winner and it is a very cool watch. Has anyone seen a rep of a Richard Mille ?

How do you best judge a lume and how do you test it?

What model will the end Pan be, or am I missing something ? I love the dial and would put in a pre ordere on what I see. Jeff

For my taste, this is one of the most elegant combo I've seen in a long time. congrayulations !!~ jw

What is Davidsen's site ?

Do you know how to get to davidsjen ? thanks, mendota

- I've bought a lot of these winders. one or two didn't work at all and had to be exchanged. The case is pretty nice ; the platform with the moving discs is cheap but functional ; most importantly the motors do work and at 5 months, all the ones that worked at the beginning, still work, but not in first rate style. They're noisy and often get hung up by the position the case is in requiring one to move it. Another problem is the rotation of the disc brings the watch into contact with the plexiglass window scratching the plexi and depositing a white powder on the casing or crystal of the offending watch. In general, with a lot of care, the whole thing can be made functional and worth the price - but just barely in my opinion. If the retail winders weren't so over priced, these wouldn't hold up.

I'd like to get some really great high end leather straps for a few PAN's and a few old PP reps. Please advise.
