And as enjoyable as it was, about half way through I began to feel.... inadequate. Dare I say... emasculated? Fear and self-loathing began to creep down my spine. My dog snarled at me in contempt. My wife mocked me mercilessly when I suggested we make love. Which in hindsight may have been a blessing as I strongly suspect performance anxiety would have been an issue. I couldn't sleep as all my life's failures continued to loop through my brain like a ferris wheel gone awry. My wife and dog both left this morning, laughing sarcastically when asked 'when will you two be back?' I began weeping like a child for no apparent reason. With what little remained of my self-worth as a man, I summoned the last of my courage and ordered a yellow gold version. Rose gold you say? Ha! Sure, for women and effeminate men maybe. Nothing but man's gold on this wrist thank you very much! Immediately my ego started to assert its former self. I cancelled payments to the ex-wives. I pulled over my car to bitch-slap two paramilitaries who were randomly stopping citizens for no reason. Stomped one of them while the other retreated in fear. Women openly begged to be impregnated with my seed. And upon return to the house, both wife and dog were sobbing uncontrollably with grief thinking I had left them. My wife threw herself at me like some sex-starved vixen. And wailed like a banshee when I lost interest in her bottomless lust and left to watch football and partake in strong drink with other men of power. @semperfi55 you have shown us all the path to masculine power only a select few will ever know. For that we will remain eternally grateful. That was epic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had absolutely no recollection of reviewing this iconic timepiece. But there it was staring at me from the ether... my own words for all the world to see. No denial it being my work product. How could this be?! Another alcohol fueled blackout? No... the Nica Ninja had locked the liquor cabinet weeks ago following that 'unfortunate misunderstanding' with the domestica. My pharmacological research taken a step too far? No... she confiscated all my hard-to-find research materials following that same incident. So wtf...?! As the coffee worked it's magic, the fog began to lift. 7 hours ago, McGilli said: BDNICA'S FIRST RWG REVIEW - PINK FEMALE SWATCH The first tell! To those of us literate in obscure horological history, this is the PINK SHEMALE SWATCH. A limited edition run of 50 pieces and considered a Unicorn by some. Even caught in the grips of madness induced by pharma experimentation gone horribly wrong, I would never make such an egregious mistake. The second & third tells: 8 hours ago, McGilli said: The SEL thing? Please... like I wouldn't have called out this embarrassing flaw. And the battery spacing? It's screaming 'fake!' as if it were the subdials on a $10 Speedmaster from the Gate. No way I miss these things regardless of my state of perception. As the magic of more caffeine took hold (that, and a small dose of the new compound for focus and clarity I'm working on) I saw it. That name again. @McGilli!! He'd threatened my life, family and very existence the other day... still unclear as to why? It was something I wrote about @Glaude and @semperfi55 I think? Could they be part of this? No, don't think so. This is clearly coming from The Darkness. Glaude comes from the Light. And SemperFi is a fellow Man of Power. They'd never subvert my good name (to be fair, 'good' being defined using a subjective standard) and and/or co-opt my life's work by heinously violating intellectual property laws. What to do? How to respond? Litigation is out of the question. The jurisdictional issues alone would send the Nica Ninja into a Latina fit of financial madness. But with another dose of the new compound (this shit has promise... need to update the clinical trial notes) I remembered his weakness... his kryptonite. He'd given it away like a first-timer at the Texas Hold 'Em tables at Binyon's. Lingerie! If I'm correct, this will distract him long enough for my legal team and security consultants to put together a more cogent strategy that won't break the bank. Hmmm. Wonder what a third dose of this shit will do?? Science demands sacrifice and courage so feel it's my responsibility to find out.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Logixa 8 Posted November 5, 2018 The looks are basically the same, it's just that the 10k wrapped lasts a lot longer. Normale plated ones will show the steel reasonably fast due to scratches and use but the 10k will last a very long time with lots of abuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not gold paint or sprayed paint, it's a thin layer, usually electroplated, of gold on another metal, so unless you scratch it and reveal what's underneath, what you are looking at, is gold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdnica 107 Posted January 19, 2019 I ran into this Costa Rican woman while running a few errands at our new temporary locale. I immediately complimented her choice of timepiece, and an interesting discussion ensued on the topic of power associated with a gold Rolex. She was on top of her game intellectually, and made some compelling points. She told me it was amazing how much attention she's gotten since acquiring this piece. She believed it was directly related to the perception of power that seems inherent with these (as pointed out with clarity by @semperfi55, @McGilli & @Glaude). I'm not convinced... I'm all for gender equality but don't think the theory plays out the same here. Just didn't get the 'power vibe' from her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got one of them from Raffles recently and plonked it next to my cheaper one. Now I'm not sure which Datejust has which Time will tell!

Thinking back, the Nica Ninja was pretty upset too. I assumed the philosophical nature of the conversation was over her head? But you may be right... the Tica Chica must have given off a unique vibe of power. You remain the Oracle on these matters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bimmers 1 Posted August 9, 2019 I always loves the Day Date, and your is amazing! Where could start to build a similar one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDM180 7 Posted February 17, 2020 Sorry to bump this up from the past , but only thing I can find on it ! I got the same set , had a nightmare Got it all assembled and the day date discs where sticking on the back of the dial , Everything off again, back together, hands scratched the dial... , Raffles said they probably sent the wrong hands so sent a new set but had to pay for a new dial. Stripped it back down in preparation....Keyless broke.. Bought a new movement and sent to a watchsmith since I'd had enough of it and figured I was just doing something wrong, He had the same issue. Date and day discs jams up behind the dial, Hands somehow scratched the new dial too !.. Flips fine manually, but the friction stops it turning automatically. The watchsmith thinks it is to do with the little plastic spacer, Is there any alternatives? Really close to giving up on it but seems such a shame as love this model.
