I'll be happy to reach 1,000. That'll mean that I had nothing to say 999 times.

Ok that explains it, they calculate it from the last leap year. There is no year/month/day to set on the watch, just the day. Thanks for clearing it up.

Couple of questions... You got the watch from a dealer with the correct DW's and k2222 AR? Doesn't the bottom crown rotate that bezel? If so couldn't you just turn it until it lines up?

I have a Seiko Milemarker, nice watch but I rarely wear it anymore. Anyway it has one of those perpetual calendars on it, shows the date. My question....how the hell does the watch know if the month ends in 30 or 31? It even gets Feb. right. It bugs me because it is the only watch I don't have to fix the date on the 1st (unless the previous month ended in 31). There is no day or month on the watch, just the date.

Yeah you nailed that pumpkin. The seller has 0 feedback and PP is only protecting you up to $200. Dead giveaways.

I believe just the case is 45mm not including the crown.

20???? Wow! I don't think I'll ever work for anyone for 20 years. In IT, you move around to make money. I've been married for 20 years and that is punishment enough. Oh and if I do stay for 15 more years I qualify for a Movado. 35 years gets you a Quartz TAG Formula 1.

If it's fake it has a damn good looking movement... The seller has 800+ feedback at 100% and PP will protect it up to $2,000. It's when PP only protects $200 that I start to worry.

That SS is a must get for me. I'm afraid to see what the first reps will look like.

The company I work for has offered me an award for dealing with them for 5 years. It was a very nice collection of awards including 2 watches to choose from. Since I don't need anymore luggage and don't need a golf bag since I don't play golf, I chose this... It'll make a nice beater on those days when I don't want to adjust one of the automatics. Naturally it won't crack my starting line-up.

My dad who has done VERY well for himself and his cronies never wear Rolex. They consider people who run out and buy gen Rolexes as "new money". These guys wear AP, Hublot, VC, Panerai and one of them even has a PP. I gave dad a very nice Movado last year for xmas and it hasn't seen any wrist time. At all.

Damn!

I'm hoping he forgets or is hung over on his Kool-Aid. I'm sure it will get hot and heavy tomorrow.

We're pulling for you buddy.

What part of TX are you trying to move to Corgi? I've lived in San Antonio and Austin and I have family in Dallas and Houston so I know the state pretty well. I'd love to move back but my wife likes Georgia but she is from Texas. Go figure.

I agree that the color of the lettering should match the stone.

He won't take any new appts. until he turns his PM back on.

No rep will ever scratch that itch. We each have that "one" watch. For you it is the SS Daytona.

First off, welcome back. Don't stay away so long next time. 1) You'll have to check their site, I think you can but with Bob you can never tell. 2) I don't use one so I'll let one of the other members give some input. 3) No. On the UPO, the pearl is actually part of the bezel, NOT the insert. Some members have reported that their insert is part of the bezel so we may have different versions floating around. Mines was part of the bezel and The Zigmeister had to cut it off to put on a gen insert. Ofrei will not sell you just the insert, you have to buy the bezel which comes with the insert and the bezel cannot be used on the UPO. See things haven't changed at all since you left.

He's jetmid's pilot! Sorry, I wasn't supposed to say anything?

Because I had the warden, I mean wife with me. I'll con the old man into getting one then I'll snap it up when he tires of it.

"Takes foot out of mouth" I stand corrected. If anything I got to try a gen on and see it under the pretty AD lights.

Dude you are my hero. I'll shoot you a PM.

You'll be back. Bring your wallet son!

No but I've been there numerous times when I was at Lackland AFB in San Antonio. The beach baby.
