Get the orange monster.

Snow sucks! Just my opinion.

Just cleared customs, 7 days, wow! I don't think I've ever had anything take more than 2 days to get through.

Has anyone seen any recent delays getting their orders through customs say within the last week or so? I'm Just curious, I have an order stuck in NYC customs now since the 10th. Wondering if they may have increased inspections possibly due to 9/11 anniversary. Did not get a seizure notice (yet).

More of a lurker than a poster but congratulations to a great forum. I've learned a lot from this place about the hobby and craft. A great resource, keep up the good work.

Don't have it yet but Josh shipped my order in 2 days including QC pics. Ordered it Tuesday got through China Sort Facility on Thursday evening.

Great post. Thanks for the donation.

I've had one for about 6 months and love it. But I do have a question. The bezel ring feels like plastic to me. Not a big tell but it just doesn't feel right. Any thoughts? Sorry if I stole the thread.

Does anyone know how close it is to the gen?

I've been to both K of P and Atlantic City Tourneau stores. Other than surveillance cameras, they have no physical security presence. In King of Prussia, the jewelery store across from Tourneau, can't remember the store name has a real big dude there for security. He has to be seven feet tall and just about as wide.

The local Tourneau Dealer, Rolex Boutique in King of Prussia PA. got hit by 3 smash and grab thieves yesterday. They got away with $576,000 worth of watches, primarily Rolexes. Police don't have any suspects yet. Maybe poetic Justice for the number of times they ripped off customers?

Summer watch! Despite the bad weather...

Nice. Is that a gen? Where did you get the steel band?

Got the yellow ring Abyss last week. Keeps great time and has not left my wrist. Very close to the gen (possible super rep?)

5 to 7 days.

I was in Saint Thomas / Saint Maarten in February, A couple of shops in Philipsburg had some bad reps, Canal Street stuff. Didn't see anything in St Thomas. Lots of great gen. stuff though.

I turned my BK GMT into a transformer myself. I used a guitar string, A "B" string I believe to make the spring as the instructions dictate. The bezel will not click as the ratchet cogs are ground off but the bezel is tight and even. The trick is to use the heaviest wire that will fit into the bezel grooves. The stiffer wire takes the play out of the attached bezel.

I've sanded a few inserts myself but I do have a question. How does everyone hold the insert to sand it? I seem to sand my fingertips more than the insert.

It seems the cartel is recycling old designs. Has anybody heard of anything new coming out in the near future from the cartel or others? Maybe a better designed Sub-c or the new Breitling Super Ocean perhaps?

Great article Utheman! Devices built to last and made by true American craftsmen.

I'm carrying around one of my RR watches today

Tomorrow the Sub

And Sunday, the Expl II

Nice watch, 992B?

Oh man - you can't really appropriate that story if you've never had one. NOW THAT'S FUNNY!

I feel your pain in PA. Whats another 12 or 16 to the 28 we got already.
