Anguz Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hey gang, I have a couple of authentic watches, a Bulova M7 and a Seiko DX 6106-5467. I am interested in trying to trade these for a rep submariner...am I allowed to do this? I do not want to break any rules as I am new and do not want to get in trouble What is the protocol? If it is indeed allowed. Thanks in advance lads. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 It's done everyday here A. go to the trade section.. and post your wares.. or better yet.. sign up for "Supporter" status. 30 usd per year (it goes toward our monthly usage fees) it equates to about 8 cents a day.. well worth it since you are using the board as a venue for trading .. it's a fair "trade" ..imo.. and you will be allowed to enter the supporters area where more of these trades take place..post pics and detailed description of your "WTT" (want to trade) intentions and see what happens.. good luck AC Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguz Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hey Lani, You always seem to be the one to answer my questions and I thank you for that. I would love to financially support the site as I have been here quite a bit since I have signed up. Once I graduate Uni in April and move to England, I will be in a better position to do so. As of right now...I am pretty much hand to mouth...which is funny as I know this is an expensive habit. I suppose I will have to quite one of my vices in order to fund it! In London I am sure I will be doing better than a University student in Niagara Falls, Canada. Am I still allowed to post something on the trades section if I don't sign up as a supporter? Thanks again either way Lani. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 You keep your watches.. if you can sell them for a bit of extra cash if need be go ahead in the trade section.. if any of them belonged to relatives... keep them. this Noob Mariner needs an insert.. cheap on the bay.. you may have to mod it to fit though.. it could use a better crystal .. I may have a Clarks dunno if it will fit though.. other than that she just needs a bit of TLC.. polishing up and oiling the bracelet links .. and your good to go.. this way everythime you look at the Sub .. remember RWG.. not me.. I'm just a part of the big wheel that keeps this place what it is.. .. all of you make it special.. give me some time to try and see if I have a better crystal for this.. we'll be in touch by PM..

ubiquitous Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Lani's generosity knows no bounds. I, along with many others have experienced it first hand many, many times.

Anguz Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Kakoii...ok that's it for the nihongo for now Third generation eh? That's cool. Do your mom and dad speak Japanese? I lived in Japan for four years teaching English and picked it up...but I lose more and more everyday as the only Japanese person I know here only speaks English as well, LOL. Great place. Cool folks. Amazing food! Anyhoo... Cool, just let me know what kind of info, or anything you need from me and I shall do it ASAP. Cheers Lani.

lanikai Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Cho~kakoii.. good cause I didn't fair well in language school as a kid.. got kicked out for hitting back .. the Sensei.. .. figured if he could hit me I could hit him.. got to go to Judo Dojo after school.. mo fun.. instead of language school my Grandmother came to Hawaii at 6 months old.. was raised in a Hawaiian "Camp".. so she spoke both languages.. I Grew up with Hawaiian and Asian Cooking,. Grandpa was a railroad conductor..Father's side was from Hiroshima.. no relatives left in Japan.. and someday I hope to journey there and find my ancestors history.. half the family were priests and half Samurai.. according to our family scroll that was interpreted years ago..Family now is all mixed.. Asian, Hawaiian, German, Filipino .... 'Hapa' went away to Oregon and Washington for school.. Bar-tended for 15 years..personal trainer.. etc. etc. Now I'm here.. best place to be on the net.. I'll try and dig up a better crystal (mag) @Simplefarmer.. I'll pm ya this week with 2 choices of reps.. AC Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anguz Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Btw, I've been to Hiroshima and it is a great city. Of course where "the" memorial is, I found a very strange...well aura, I guess is the only word. I went to see a Carps game too, played my team, the Seibu Lions, Carp won, boooo! I lived in Tokyo and it was an amazing place. Have a fab and groovy week Lani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yes.. thank you.. someday I would like to visit the memorial.. it is strange in some ways.. my Uncles fought for the 442nd in WWII .. Hiroshima was destroyed by that war.. my ancestors clan in the 16th century was destroyed in a battle that involved the Uesugi clan.. a one day war.. it was deceit and betrayal that wiped out the Lord of the clan.. and then the rest were reduced to Ronin and had to become Samurai farmers..the head of the clan was beheaded.. he was loyal for the right reasons.. but destiny from then puts me in Hawaii now.. not a bad place to be.. someday.. I would like to travel the ground where we were once warriors.. thanks Anguz.. I'll be in touch.. AC lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
