Really a nice piece for the price, though I've seen far too many oil stained dials pop up in Carousell for comfort. Fingers crossed that it doesn't happen - some in the FB group call it "patina".

They call the oil stain patina?
What crack they smoking?
Lol. I think I buy steinhart better at the same price point

Or support elshan. This gg company and its fans are bunch of jokes.

bro yattokame, i'm very sorry to learn of your health issues. to respect and honour your right to privacy & confidentiality (and to abide by the personal data protection act) i shall not probe, and neither should anyone. you should never share with anyone, except maybe your wife. medical information/records are a gold mine for the nefarious to exploit. so keep it personal & confidential!

but counting the number of times you had to endure the change of IV cannulation plugs just from the photos you posted, i can tell that it was easily a couple of weeks of hospitalizations, maybe even more, if they were done back-to-back.

i actually felt depressed & indignant when i saw your photos!

a kind-hearted & generous soul like you who does charity work on your days off having to suffer this? where happened to karma?! :eek:

otoh, some say if you managed to step over a major (health) crisis, good days are ahead! :)

i hope your medical issues get sorted out and you have a full, complete recovery. notice i said full and didn't say swift. no need to be too impatient. take all the time you need to gradually get better so that the recovery is permanent and you get even healthier than before!

i admire that you took it in your stride and remain optimistic, cheerful and even empathize with those who're suffering more than you.

bro yattokame, you're a greater man and kinder soul than i. and i say that simply & honestly as a matter of fact.

may you and your family continue to be blessed with good health, good wealth and all good things! :) :D :s12:

ps. as a quack dr, i'd say you're likely encountering orthostatic hypotension. may i humbly suggest that you don't stand up swiftly from a lying position. instead, sit on the edge of your bed for a while before getting up from bed. also, you may benefit from a course of rehabilitation and instructions from a qualified physiotherapist to help you strengthen your body while you recover. also no shame in relying on temporary mobility support like a walking stick as a smart safety measure! cheers!!

TT01 on a roll means Everyone on a roll. Satki max.

Confirm work bonus fat or suddenly realised that keeping all that stacks got no use. Need to enjoy a little.
So he made it his 2017 resolution to hoot ah hoot.

Amazingly, I haven't sold this yet. Lol. Been on my wrist for a substantial amount of time. No box and papers and I still rejected offers above 5k.
Really comfortable and I repeat again, perfect vacation watch.

Congratulations on the 'Electric Blue'!

I feel that a trilogy of GMT Masters would be awesome, especially as there are documented cases of astronauts bringing a Rolex GMT Master on the Apollo missions to the moon.

bro MrSenG, that stunt was a clearly a crass commercial move to monetize astronauts' trips in space. the unprofessional, chickenscratch etching is also damn fugly.

iirc, i read online that many items, including stamps of all things, were smuggled aboard rockets so that when astronauts return, these items can be claimed to have "been to space" and be hocked off for money.

can't blame the astronauts for supplementing their meager income cos they were govt employees and paid measly govt wages.

the term "patina" is now so loosely used and exploited that obvious defects and even dust & fingerprints are now claim as "patina". really wtf ttm! :mad:

i know you mean well, but that sentence could be construed as TT01 being the lowest common denominator such that "even if TT01 is not well, others can be well..." ;) :s13: maybe so, cos my entire life savings is now depleted because of watches. !@#$%^&*()_+! :(

actually, it's my realization that the appreciation in rolex sports models is much better than the pathetic bank interest rates.

start looking for a full set polar explorer II as a keeper. and thank me later. :D

Thank u pal.

Your words humble me. Don't make me sound like some great man. You can just give me your watches. I'm probably suffering karma for my other sins.

Btw I sent u a PM some days ago. Would love to hear your analysis on the issue. Always enjoy a good WOT from u.

Isn't Naoki the boss?
Hahaha idiots of the world man. Patina my arse.
It's a defect of the watch. 21st century watch vs 19th century.
He retard or what? Lol
The watch if retail is not cheap. Good solid watch but simple oil also can seep thru the dial means it's not that solid anymore.

They need to rethink their strategy and improve workmanship.
If not, they will forever remain a crappy local brand.

Jokers.

Patina lol.

I would not have dared to make the presumption if not for the multiple sources of the GMT Master being on the wrist of several astronauts during the Apollo missions.

On the fateful Apollo 13 mission, the Command Module Pilot, John L. Swigert Jr. was photographed wearing his Reference 1675 many times (before and after the mission).

Of course, the only EVA-certified watch by NASA is still the Omega Speedmaster Professional, which is still being worn by Russian cosmonaut even in 2014.
