manuel Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Are you saying this is a gen sd? Very nice dial!
Watchmeister Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 I suspect he may be saying more than that. That is a beautiful watch. I suspect you will keep that one away from your "bulldozer tests".
kingkitesurf Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Nanuq, That is a very nice piece... the hands are broader than MBW
Jetsons Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Congratulations, Nanuq! What a beauty! Is this the SD you mentioned was in the works many months ago? You may have found a worthy candidate for your T-39 superdome. Enjoy!
ubiquitous Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Bob.... Amazing... Simply amazing... Worth a small fortune.... Though the sentimental value of that one is something you just can't put a price on. A very special watch.... All the best, R
Usil Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 There must be something wrong with me because if I had that I would find myself reaching for the Dremel and the polish. I take it that that would be a bad thing. Usil
Dutchy Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 YYESSS!! Nanuq I know how long you've waited for this.....ah yes, the wonder when it would arrive.....its absolutely stunning!! Wear it well my friend, I'm sure you will!!!
TwoTone Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 The envy of every collector... To own a Gen DR SD is the "Cats Meow"... Congrats Bob... Wear it well and make sure to bring it when we hook up in July... I'm gonna want a wrist shot [on my wrist of course]... TT

Pugwash Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Amazing. I think I'll need to visit Alaska now.
eunomians Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Now I see what you have done with your cash prize from taking 1st place in the Mr. Alaska contest! What a gorgeous beast!! I am so very glad that your patience has paid off. As mentioned before, this piece is the Holy Grail of vintage Rolex sports models. It is far beyond amazing, from a serious collector's standpoint as well from a casual collector's perspective. Please take more pics (the more the merrier). And perhaps you can enlighten the masses as to how you reeled this big one in Best regards from your pal Euno
TwoTone Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Now I see what you have done with your cash prize from taking 1st place in the Mr. Alaska contest! Speaking of Mr. Alaskan... Nanuq, do you know M. Dugan? TT
Stephane Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Please take more pics (the more the merrier). Yes please Congrats from a respectfull noob ! Patience is the key isn't it. :ltongue: Cheers Stephane
docblackrock Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 You complete and utter bastard! Lesser men would have given up on bagging this blighter long long ago, but not Nanuq. Time to spill the beans my friend, this is going to be a BEAST of a tale, I can tell....
freddy333 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 I am speechless. Well, almost. I have enough wits left about me to pose one question -- Where did you get that dial?
Guest avitt Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Beautiful, Bob! And intriguing...By reading the cryptic responses above, I'm feeling like I'm the only one who doesn't have inside information on this project. I won't pretend I know what's going on, so I'm eagerly awaiting the details.
Stephane Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 I wish I undertand it all (I tiried but the poem is too complicated for me) It's an incredible story and, what else can one say, WEAR IT IN GOOD HEALTH. Cheers Stephane
freddy333 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Nanuq -- The poem went over my head too, but thank you for the background on the watch.
docblackrock Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Speechless, I knew it'd be a good one...thanks for not disappointing Bob.
TwoTone Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 And thank YOU, for putting up with my pathetic poetry! What makes you think we put up with it? Look out your back window, in the bushes dude... TT
Guest avitt Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 If it's true that a man can be judged by the quality of his friends, then you are in good standing, Nanuq. Congratulations on this spectacular piece.
polexpete Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Nanuq, the story behind the watch is as amazing as the watch itself. Thanks for sharing... P.
