Think you're going to have to at least get your watch in focus if you are going to even think about considering to take Ben on in a suicidal pic battle.

Not considering at all ! if you are talking about the comments above about battles, they were meant for the "which is better" talk and whoever feels they need to engage. I'm not a part of that, and have no desire to taunt people who are "OG's" of the model and topic, let alone trying to prove that my 40k+ piece is better than their 40k+ piece. No way to win that, and might leave some people sour. I like both, but could chose only one, and might add that it wasn't easy.

But just for you, I will come with a great pic shortly. Promise.

You're on, and if you can match Ben's pics maybe I'll concede this watch doesn't remind me of a comedy-drama set in a women's federal prison.

You realize he doesn't have anything yet, right? Everybody will be likely to forget in the mean time.

I hope the comedy-drama comment is about this whole cock-fight and not the watch itself

Did you ever read my PM when I was looking for my piece and an AD connection and never got an answer from you?

Not sure if my guy will do abroad. Plus I doubt you would beat his price. I'll get it in good time. I'm not in a huge rush. It's my fault. I wanted the ceramic. I'd have it by now. But then I changed my mind later on for the RG. And it's first come first serve so I was last for those will get an RG this year. There are like 7 people behind me lol.

I own the 45mm Classic Fusion Ceramic, it's super comfy and a great everyday watch overall. Also fits under a suit, unlike the Novelty Carbon (don't get me wrong, a SUPERB watch itself) which I own too but fits much better on a casual setting.

I like in this picture the strap looks dark grey. I don't like the light grey strap with this watch. I think dark grey would have been way better. But black is the next closest thing.

The strap matches the dial.

Well. Before I had anything , and was hurting for an AD and had nothing, I read your posts saying how good your deals were. I PM you asking for help as a friendly member of the forum, and got ignored. Then I read your posts about hey yeah I'll help everybody with a dealer and again got ignored. So I did it myself, and am wearing it with pride today. I thought the forum was all about support but im over it now thank you very much. BTW, I'm not abroad. You never asked . Lesson learned . Good luck shooting out with everyone.

That's a good dealer. Never heard about a loaner watch before. Good for you.

Your location says Moscow? I'd change that if I were you. I did offer to help but people wouldn't close. They were just tire kickers, and then I'm wasting my dealer's time. And it makes me look bad. So I took that offer back essentially.

Don't worry about him. I read his posts and add not a grain, but a ton of salt to it. He just talks out of both ends. I don't know of any actual TRF member he actually hooked up.

Congrats on your new AP BTW..

Thank you, your signature has a nice collection. I wonder, your two 44s share 50/50 wrist time ?

Just about 50/50. I do find myself wearing the CE just a tad bit more. Better suited for daily wear.

But does that matter? I guess saying 'my AD will give you *% discount' could cause issues but nothing wrong with saying 'Try my AD ***** as they have been good to me' tyre kickers or not it would be no different then the AD would get from social media, walking trade etc.
