I never said ALL... Sorry let me rephrase that.. Silix Asian models with mineral crystal have AR coating (at least both 111 and 112 for the group buy)

No it won't but it doesn't matter.. It is a BEAUTIFUL watch with a superb strap (I love the 5812 buckle ) If you made the mods yourself CONGRATS

Beautiful watch and strap rudi.. Nice combo..

Beautifulllll... Now we have to see how resistant is the outside part of the coating

I found the post I was looking Silix models have real AR coating hence the huge difference with the 036.

My new effort with the Mods will be a GTG somewhere European and in US. It is something we should do to go from Virtual to REAL

Various stuff here I managed to 'collect'... 1. Rep cases taper from 7mm to the middle to 6mm at the ends.The historic cases (111, 112, 005 etc etc) should be 7mm width from top to bottom. 2. SILIX cheap Asian 115$ pams with mineral glass have REAL AR COATING. Don't know if they advertise it like that but they have. (Check some guys post yesterday who said that he bought a Silix pam and throw away his old 036) 3. 111, 112 sandwich dials have different font on the 2 (of 12) and thinner than the genuine. (And I don't mean the ugly radiomir first versions) 4. Rep Crown guards are sloppy BUT it doesn't mean they should have much more resistance. Finepics JimmyFU guard I have checked is too hard to open. 5. Crowns bigger than 2mm are too thick 6. Something it has been discussed before.. Colour on the dial should be beige and not pure white (again on historic models) That's it for now... More tomorrow (Been too busy today and haven't been at home)

They should be bolder. They are thin. I believe that everything we say it will be very constructive (especially for David who does his own production) and he will try to make it better... So bring on new dials with bolder fonts please

Same feelings here.. I LOVE animals and I know what you go through...

Maybe with all the hastle between dealers and members THIS is the right time for all of you to read this topic.... We don;t ned that bad energy to RWG

In my country we always say that 'an old dog that always barks never bites'

Very nice indeed

Indeed... FINALLY.. Enjoy it my friend

And that's quite fair I might say. To give the buyer the option of the insurance. But maybe on the other hand they will say a full 140$ price including everything and in a couple of months the option will stop to exist (if you not clearely offer it as you explain in your post)

Something that has not been said, at least here at RWG - I haven't followed the RWI thread-I am not registered there. Well .. if the problem is the confiscated watches from the customs why not start doing (the dealers) something that is already in the air but not in fact? Ship the watch with the buyers risk!!! If it gets confiscated bad for them... Provide them with proof of posting and that's it. I don't understand that when you have an X problem you decide to go with the Y (completely irrelevant) solution. The problem is the customs???? Then deal with the customs. Trusty put the watches to plastic pianos. You don't want to do this? Ship the watch with buyers risk. That's it. As simple as that. No need of cartels or raising the prices.

Exactlly my thoughts....

Very nice Pug... Nice use of our dealers names

Guys I think this is it.. You can try but I don't think it can get much better than this... Dear 'pabra' excellent... Pm'ed you for your gift

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

Come on guys.. I need more replies.. Till now only Pug and Corner (except the he/she part) have tried their best.

Very nice Mark

Hey.. said that to Clive.. He will be really pised off you said bad things for Paul Smith

Exactlly.. it must be definately the size thingy...

Well, I have thought of a possible scenario for John... although I think it will be really nice (if you like writing) to finish the story (in the way it started) with your own end. The best one will get a gift from me

It was dark. The only thing that tried to fight the darkness was the old headlamp on the street. It was London around 1890. Grey city, sad as a tombstone, and with the smell of danger hang over the facades of the houses. John tasted the fear in his mouth and felt that the end wasn’t too far. Rats. Thousands of rats. Some of them were feasting on a dead horse and all the others were moving towards him. He run fast…very fast but at the corner of Hill Street he fell. The rats were approaching him and his death was inevitable. And then he woke up. It was a dream, a bad dream… He checked his wrist and the oversized Panerai was saying 6:30am. He sneaked through the curtains outside of his window and the fog hovered between the houses of this big city, the mist was like intense dreaming seeking for the sun to end it. He couldn’t see anything. Something wasn’t right today. John couldn’t remember anything of his last night and he definitely didn’t wanted to wake up the girl in his double bed. He couldn’t. But who was she? A girl so beautiful, that her body under the bed sheets was producing an enormous amount of awe. She was fragile and John knew it. He wore his two button black suit and his white shirt and grabbed the keys of his beloved old black Maserati Quattroporte. When he stepped out of his building nothing was the same. The silence was so intense like a myriad of orchestras just waiting for the maestro’s signal to begin. Only that today there wasn’t any. Next, he did the same exact thing he was doing every morning. Get in the car and start the engine. He turned the key and the cd from last night started to play: Arvo Paart – Spiegel Im Spiegel. He checked briefly the retro leaf shaped clock of the Maserati and the time has stopped at 11:59pm. And then….. HE REMEMBERED!!! …to be continued
