Not to get into last weeks crazy thread, but the President is fully repaired! The watchmaker/repair guy said last Saturday should be next Friday, but maybe 2 or 3 more weeks, depending on parts. Also said give him a call Thursday(today) in case it came in early. I called him up and he said you can pick it up today or Friday. I zoomed out of work and 10 minutes later I had the watch, polished and everything. So far so good. Only bad thing, I lost one of the original pins so he put some steel pin and it's not 100% flush on the 12 o clock side. Small price, but damn I am relieved. I never had the watch polished, so I compared it to some 118238's in some stores and it looked the same, minus the polished lugs. My newish laptop has a decent camera so I'll try to post pics tonight. It was a costly night but lesson learned.

Read all the posts in your last thread and good to see you share the ending of the saga. In this case a steel pin in the DD is better than a steel pin in you. Hope you and the DD are well and post some pictures.

Amen! Yest. went to hospital-snap snap snap staples out, no scar, healing nicely. I'm like 90% better, just a slight purple eye. And not a drop of alcohol since that stupid night!

Good for you, good for your Rollie. Stay cool.

Not many places in this life that you can go and complete strangers REALLY care.

Nice post Brian.

Thanks bud. Here are my blurry pics as promised. No, these weren't taken in a dark room.

x2, and it was lucky that such a beautiful piece was not lost or completely destroyed in "the incident." I realize that the lesson has been learned and don't want to beat a dead horse, but there's a reason several of us TRFers have G-Shocks!

Arby · 3 May 2008, 03:31 AM

Steve, I'm glad to hear you got your BEAUTIFUL watch back!

tszyu#1 · 3 May 2008, 03:44 AM

Thanks for all the positive responses. It's like J.J's sig, something about when you need friends look no further than TRF! Thanks again for all the concern. Now to enroll in some photography classes...and that ugly scab is just one of thebattle wounds..
