  1. You'll be missed but I certainly understand CBR. I had to to take a 2 year break to deal with my son. I'm glad to say he has his head on straight and just started his 3rd year of college. He gets out of line again and I'll just unscrew his head and try again. :) Good luck old friend. May your path be true and your watch have lots of reserve.

  2. I like to charge up the lume on a dive watch, make sure the crown is screwed in, line up the pearl with the minute hand, then hop in the shower...

    in the dark! That way the watch is in its "natural habitat." I can't believe I do this, but you should try it, it's kind of fun, tracking (shower) time. What's the geekiest WIS thing you do/have done?

    Well certainly not this. :)

  3. Here is an old post of mines from RWI....

    "None of them are "accurate". The MBW Jumbo is a fantasy watch based on the 3700/3800 and a little bit of the 5711 some people say. The 3700 was the only jumbo but it had no seconds hand. The 3800 has the seconds hand but it's a smaller watch. The 5711 is similiar to the 3800. While the dial on the Non-MBW watches appear to be more accurate, there is no dot at the 3 o'clock on the gens. Also the 3700 was marked O SWISS O and the 5711 SWISS. Rumors abound that a dial exactly like those on the MBW was really made but the watch was never released. The allure to the MBW version is the quality and it is a rep that has been copied. At some point it may become the holy grail of the reps and become harder to acquire. I have the MBW version and plan on having the seconds hand removed to make it that much closer to the 3700."

    Mines is in Canada getting the seconds hand removed and a new movement installed that has a low cannon pin.
