Re: Dark side blame game - Peter, It's your fault..

Per my note to you Stewart and anyone else in this community, I happen to live nearby HQ Milton and have bought several Rolex pieces from them. Happy to check out stuff in person for you and take snaps as appropriate if you're interested in a piece. Jacek and crew over there are standup guys.

: ..and David D to some degree..

: For a looong time I have felt the need for a Sub.. many on here
: love 'em, and the other forums are rife with them. I posted up
: my feelings on a 16800, my first Rolex ever, on here. Long and
: short of it - I genuinely hated it, with a passion.. but the
: scratch didn't go away.. with Rich C saying that 'everyone
: should have one'.. made me think.

: Then Peter posted up his pic of a WGS 5513.. seen here:
: http://www.chronocentric.com/forums/heuer/index.cgi?md=read;id=58013
: From then on, I was on a mission. I got a wee bit tipsy one evening
: and found one.. it arrived today.. WOW. I know the big players
: favour the earlier non-wgs matt dials, but I like this model.. I
: think the WGS 'lifts' the dial, and the dial - THAT gloss is
: amazing. THAT plexi too..OMG. I can't quite believe the marked
: difference between the 16800 and this 5513. The design is so
: pure and clean.. and the wgs hour plots.. love 'em. I love the
: polished plots on Autavias, so this is perfect for me.

: Anyway.. I've tried it on a few straps - the original bracelet, a
: deep grey NATO and one of my Heuerville straps -aka David D
: style! I really do love it..

: FYI. I got it from the US - from Jacek at HQ Milton - great bunch
: of guys.
