Took The Plunge on the Tona!

- Start date
Not serviced at all (besides my regulation & lube work). This is straight from the dealer condition. My motto is: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
how is the thickness of the case compared to gen? The only thing keeping me from the 'tona is the inaccurate case thickness.
Not very obvious at all! I mean, I wore it to the AD and they saw it. One was the salesguy, the other one one was the manager, none of them had a clue - they both thought it was gen.
I mean I wasn't bragging or anything and it was not my sole purpose for being there. My sole purpose was to had my wife's diamond ring ultrasonically cleaned. But as I handed them the ring, they saw my Daytona, so I let them see it while I tried on their Exp II.
Good for you, Syd! Congrats on having a bomb-free Daytona. Looks very good on the 'ole wrist. I assume the chronos work the way they're supposed to do?

Yup, chrono functions as it should and resets right on Zero.
Conclusion: It is Bomb free!
And I won't sell her even if somebody gave me twice the price I paid for it!
I may never get another chance like this the next time around.
icard:[non-specific ancient deity with zombie like resurrection powers], you're like the third person in as many days that I have had to remind of the primary rule of this forum and this hobby if you want to remain a member. What's even worse is that you're not only a long term member but also, looking at your post count, a frequent enough contributor as well. You should know better.
DONT WEAR YOUR REPS INTO A DEALERS!
It's not a hard rule, it's actually pretty feckin common sense. I would suggest you stick to it from now on.
:asshat:

Please don't take the name of God in vain. YOU OFFEND ME!
Just curious, why, and who would care? It could only be a source of embarrassment for the wearer.
Who would care? We, as a community should care. I don't particularly want the manufacturers clamping down on the rep makers, or at the very least shutting down the forums that we all enjoy. Attention to the community and the hobby from any official source is not wanted or needed. We already know that the US and other governments are under a lot of pressure to stop counterfeit goods and websites that promote them. Why make it easier for them?
But regardless of that it's part and parcel of your continued membership here on the board. Please see the RWI constitution:

Whilst it is not explicitly written, it is common sense that entering an AD with a rep will call attention to the hobby, as stated above.

Bonesey has a point, but is kind of being a bit rude in making it. I am sure Syd did not go into the jeweler to show off his watch, but maybe just a coincidence as he was getting his wife's ring cleaned...Syd, you know better lol...Bigtime no no.
Guys, my bad. I was careless. It was an impulse shop that day for us at the mall and I didn't even think twice about it when my wife decided to have her rings cleaned. It wasn't planned at all in all honesty.
I am sorry.
I am sorry.

Occasionally one would just happen to wear a rep to an AD, but I think its fine as long as it stays on your wrist and not trying to show it off or pass it to them to inspect in details...
But ultimately, try to avoid by putting it in your pocket or what.

Has anyone else bought this 29j 2008 version?
Is everyone's still running?
Anyone looking to sell theirs?
