I am the luckiest man in the world today...

[Member X]

[censored] me, I can't believe how lucky I've been today.

Rushing to a meeting, parked up, jumped out the car to pay for parking (

lol. emotional day. glad it turned out ok for you!

[OSRep]

......... and I now won't have to sulk all evening and annoy the missus LoL

Phew, a VERY happy ending! Ive had a watch come off the strap and I watched it fall to the ground (at this point everythings in slow motion)......worst feeling ever. But then again it was a hefty watch and didnt even scratch.

Look after your SOH!

[Member X]

I will!

I hate putting watches aside for Best when I like them so much, but it is safer...

[hackR]

great story...better ending...

my blue SOH v2 on 4mm mesh arrived 2 days ago...a stunner...especially on mesh...PAMs, what PAMs?!...gonna wear this one for awhile...elegantly sporty...

[krpster]

Can't beat the SOH!!! Glad it made it out OK.

[RealReplica]

Glad it worked out for you, nice story too!

[P4GTR]

Alls well that ends well. You made it by the skin of your AR on that one.

[Eton]

Phew!!! Glad the day turned out for ya

[Guest Sql_pl]

You REALLY put that thing over your steering wheel each time you get out of the car?! That's crazy!

[Member X]

My car is probably the easiest car in the world to steal so it needs all the help it can get... lol

I do love the SOHs though - I think this is probably the only watch I would consider buying the gen of as it's so versatile and looks great on all occasions!

[chronoluvvv]

haha, that looks more like a wheel champ than a steering lock

[wimpie007]

Haha, lucky indeed!

But i think there is no AR on the outside of the crystal on a SOH therefore you cannot scratch it? ;-)

[Member X]

I'm sure there is double AR on the SOH!

I've done the same thing to PVD coatings on my B&Rs and it's always a panicked moment until you find out if it's a scratch on the PVD or the PVD has "scratched" the steel you banged against ... so far I've been lucky

It makes me smile when the coating on my replica watch completely laughs off great whacks against steel bolts.

Hey MemberX! Glad to see you got your SOH... did you get it through Mary? I am with you on these, I love both my bronze chrono and my black non-chrono. I keep looking at the gen every time one pops up on the forums for sale but as close as these are, and with my gen mesh I just don't see the sense in it!

Now, as for that steering wheel lock, if you had bought a gen lock instead of a rep the paint probably would not have scratched off!!

[Member X]

lol It does the job

I got my blue one off Mary (excellent service, as always, and a swiss movement) and my black one I got secondhand with Asian movement as I was (stupidly) too fussy about the bezel alignment on the one she showed me.

Asian movement is a lot less positive when changing time and date but does still run smoothly and keep good time, so it's just a case of being gentle with it

Here are a couple of pics now I've bothered to take some lol

I love them, I think they are the only gen I would consider buying as they look so classy and are so versatile - but if you can get this quality at this price, why would you spend

X...Close call brother....As hard as you worked to get that thing, I can only imagine how you felt when you heard that clang....

Glad it worked out.....Finally have a SOHC on the way, can't wait.....
