HEY, MATES! HAPPY HUMPDAY!!!


For this august day, this lightly worn AP ROO on soft, pliable rubber. This piece has a reassuring presence and weight (155 grms) and feels complete on the 'ole wrist. I probably should wear it more often. Seconds sweep is very smooth; not too shabby for a non 2836. dave:

I left the house and It had an insert, went to a meeting, went to my office. Left the office and realised I had no insert :(

As the bumper sticker says "Shit happens." What an awful feeling.

Good Evening, All! For the first day of the new week, this newly worn ROLEX TT YACHTMASTER with brown dial and TT bracelet. It came in its ROLEX box from The Gate & paid about $100 for it. It's quite different with its brown dial and brass/gold bezel, at least that's what it looks like to these old eyes. I've found myself buying more reps from The Gate (fully noting the inconsistent quality they have) because their prices are more affordable for me. I've noticed over the past year or so that reps are increasingly getting more expensive -- not just from TDs, from sales forums as well; and I've noticed a change in what is described as a "cheap" rep. E.G.: for a long time, "cheap" meant UNDER $100 -- most likely $50 to $75. NOW, "cheap" is being declared as OVER $125 to $150 or more. Because I'm on a retired income, I do have to be more frugal. Still, this GATE watch is really attractive & plan to wear it more often. dave:

I was told by one TD that one of the reasons that prices are gone up is there are so many people now rejecting QCs. Some people reject 2-4 watches. These all end up back at the factories. They probably sell them off cheaply later. So we have only ourselves to blame.
