Re: ..Chris, I hope you don't mind if I saved your picture of the caseback.

Wait. You're an Evil Imp Of Satan, and you're apologizing for a minor copyright infringement?

Whoa! See? WIS are such nice folk even the Evil WIS Imps are OK..

Ricky , enjoy it !!!

Is this the watch of the month ? I think we should vote it, it looks very popular !!! I like it anyway !

Me Inner Scotsman tells me voting wi' your pocket book is the truest form, so, yeah, I'd say 'tis a shoo-in. (n/t)

Well it's a downright epidemic! (n/t)

Maybe so. But I done a good deed in the store, so perhaps karma..

..will spare me the evil effects of the demonic plague.

What? The good deed? Ah! Glad you asked!

Well.. there was a gent in line in front of me, with two watches on the counter in front of him. He's hemming and hawing and trying to make up his mind. Well, after a little bit, I politely snuck in and asked the saleslady to pull the Wenger for for me. I gave it a cursory 10-second inspection, and before she could turn back to the other customer I asked her to ring it up. She's a bit taken aback, as my decision was lightning-quick in comparison to the other gent. So I mention that I'm a watch collector, have seen the watch online and so had basically already made up my mind. And that, indeed, I had come into the store specifically for that very watch.

Well.. long story short, that first customer has heard all this, and stops me on the way out - "Pardon me, but I wonder if you could give me an opinion on this watch". WTH, I'm not in that big a hurry, so I check it out - a Stuhrling Original, a dressy Roman numeral jobbie. Fit and finish were pretty good, but something about it still rubbed me the wrong way. The other watch he was checking out was also a Stuhrling, a perfectly hideous open-heart automatic. Well, what could I do? I advised him gently that, IMNSHO, both were crap, and he'd be much better off with a nice Citizen, Seiko, Swiss Army, or the like. I pointed out a Citizen that was styled roughly similar to the Stuhling, and he seemed intrigued. I didn't stick around to see which way he went, but I'm reasonably certain he didn't walk out with a Stuhrling Original...

Any time you can save a fellow man from Stuhrling, blessings on thee.

no offense to those that actually do have them.

Thank you Brother Allan. I *am* a firm believer in karma, and do my humble best. (n/t)

I think I remember a diver extention on the bracelet Ricky.

I took the bracelet off the "Misfit Wenger". I've been spoiled by the good bracelets of my rich-man's watches, so I found it kind of rattle-y and floppy.

Really, I had to pay a few dollars more and live with the upside-down "15" on the GMT ring.

Doh! Yeah, I remembered, just before me fingers turned blue.

With the divers extension deployed, and the fine adjusts tightened up as much as possible, it's a little looser than I consider optimum. So I'm still gonna need a couple of spare links.. still, this is better than having my hand turn black and fall off.

Thanks Bro. Chris!

Sorry 'bout that!

Ah, no sweat. If we hadn't decided on Thai for lunch, I'd have been OK.

I didn't mean to start a thing going here, but it looks like I did so anyway.

Hey, can you help it if you're a trend-setter?

But.. yeah, I can remember similar 1 or 2 'watch avalanches' triggered by IHD posts.. but four? TJ Maxx should give you a bonus!

Drop me an e-mail with your address and you can have my two spare links. I have a small favor to ask in return, but I'll send that in a PM.

Done. Works for me!

Thanks Bro. Les!

ahh.. so this is ur 6K post celebration watch? (n/t)

Apparently so.  (n/t)

I finally made it to TJ Maxx today. Either I stalled long enough or they never had the watch

so I avoided the , but they did have this Wenger Dual Time for $129. I've seen these on Amazon for $119 and $94 for the black dial version which I prefer. Needless to say I walked out empty handed.

I saw that one there, too. Didn't check the price because I have already owned it!

Glad to help!

Re: ..you should post your repair report for the forum...

I could do that.

I sometimes do so on my brick-n-mortar customers watches (well, briefcase-n-shoe-leather in my case ), as you may have noticed. But I was reluctant to do so on a PMWF Brothers watch 'cause.. well, if nothing else I felt I should give you first crack at it.

Thanks again Les!

As always Ricky nice work!!!! (n/t)

I swear, this watch is catchier than the plague! Nice acquisition Mr. Lee!  (n/t)

How do you read that thing with all the numbers facing the right direction?  (n/t)

Hey, that looks familiar! I've found it to be a very comfy watch to wear!  (n/t)

Looks good to me!  (n/t)

And very good watches too!!! (n/t)
