436NR Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hey everyone! It's been a while but I'm back on the boards. My '08 Skyland is finally seeing the end. It's been a good 5 year run with her. It's too bad because she still looks great! No matter what adjustments I make to the regulator, she still ends up running 5 minutes slow a day. I figure 5 years on a rep is pretty good! The bright side is that I just ordered two new watches from Andrew; banana Seawolf and a S-Avenger!

SSTEEL Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thats good going really. You could always swap out the movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
436NR Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I thought about that and may do it as a project sometime down the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewFuller Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 The watch looks absolutely brilliant..the blue dial is mesmerising..i think though that a maroon colored brown starp would look even better than that blue one..just a polite opinion..

wildbills watches Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Wear it still. Who cares about 5 min a day. You dont wear it all day long. If you only wear it for 8 hours how much time does it lose? 2 min? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rionrlty Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Sell it to me. I have a fresh movement waiting to go in. It looks too good to retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 5 years is a heck of a life for a "cheap ol'" rep. And even then, 5 minutes a day is nothing. Heck I am sure there are reps forum members are wearing that keep worse time. If you give up on that you have the challenging quest to find the replacement! haha.
