CG = Crown Guard (on PAMs)

CHS = Correct Hand Stack (the stacking order of the hands on the dial)

IHS or ICHS = incorrect handstack (usually seen when discussing the Rolex GMT Explorer II model where the gen has the hour hand closest to the dial but the rep has the GMT hand closest to the dial)

changes made.. thx everyone ... keep em coming.. maybe this will get stickied if the mods find it useful enough..

 

Also, I'd like to get all the first names of all the TDs on here so that I can add them to the list. I have quite a few but I think I'm missing some.. if anyone can be so generous as to look over what I have so far and suggest changes it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Happy Holidays

MBK is the name of a mall in Bankok (Ma Boon Khrong Center) where there are a large number of street vendors selling low end replica watches as well as other items, bags, shirts, purses etc.

Hope this helps
