lantis Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 ...and a long deserving BUMP. Look what I found! A time capsule! Sorry for the thread digging. This is a very good read for those who are just starting out with reps EDIT: To the veterans, don't go getting teary-eyes now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 A classic thread. Yeah.. I think it's interesting to look at the advances in quality and design that we've seen since The Zigmeister posted this 5 years ago!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's interesting to look at the advances in quality and design that we've seen since The Zigmeister posted this 5 years ago!!! Yep, the Hfactory pams and a7753 come to mind. Would be interesting to read Zigs updated thoughts now with these inclusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPoirot Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 This is a wonderful write up for members like me, who joined during the 'Golden Age' of reps. Debatable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Wow that was a fun read. Like opening up a Time Capsule We've come a long way, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 We truly have come a long way. But in some respects it's still one step forward, half a step back and two steps to the side. Why does it take 5-6 editions of a particular watch to get it 98% right? I sort of skimmed through the posts, but it's sort of sad to me to see the names of so many folks who were very active back in 2006, who are no longer around. I suppose this hobby like all others is cyclic, folks come and folks go. lots of enthusiasm at first, and then at some point it starts to wane.

www_watch Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I hope what we have today will continue and get better, but I fear that things are going to change in the next few years…maybe for the worse…especially when ETA stops selling movements… To make a long story short: It did continue, it did get better, the fears did not come true and last but not least: ETA couldn't spoil it.

freddy333 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Another of Ziggy's old tech threads that I am bumping mostly because it shows where we were 10 years ago & how far we have come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
