Figure I'll try asking in the general chat before making a dedicated thread...

Would anyone like to share their AD for Oris or Tissot? I've begun my journey into automatics and would appreciate any recommendations for dealers with that in mind

There used to be a watch thread/sub forum. I'd give that a shot

Have you looked into Movados? Torgus highly recommends that brand

I haven't, but I'll give anything a fair shake. I haven't built any brand snobbery yet :

So MILVS are back in town on Cobra Marty's website and I figure I'll be ordering a set sooner than later. In lieu of buying the spring compressor tool, would anyone be willing to lend theirs for a weekend? Can supply beer and/or some lift time for compensation

I've had my Oris Titan for 8 years (i think) now...really great piece. Runs a little fast, but i love it. It is a tank in a way...feels like if it were to hit a glass door, the door would shatter or certainly dent a wood door. Just a generic picture below.

That's a nice looking piece. Bears a resemblance to what I ended up buying. Where did you end up getting it from?

Very nice piece, very clean! Easy to dress that up or down, which is what i love about a nice dive watch.

Long story short, back home in Florida, a family friend runs a higher end pawn shop and had taken it in.

Is this really 2 seats for $800?

Cheap compared to almost everyone else.

Lists them as a pair, so it would appear you get two. I've heard positive things about Braum, and at that price point I think they're worth a try

They'll send you fabric swatches if you request them. I got a set of all their red fabrics to see how they matched with the rest of my coral red interior.

Anyone in or around CT have the resources and time available to help me install Downpipes and Charge pipe for an XDrive N55 X1?

I see you went with the Williams F1 watch... does it always run 1-2 seconds slow?

Could go with a Ferrari watch to read the same time.

Anyone know someone who does their own work in R.I. but knows what they are doing? I've got a x1 with the n55 I was hoping to find a local to wrench on for me. I don't want to pay dealership costs but want to do basic stuff like repairs and eventually downpipe and intercooler install as well. Alternatively any highly recommended indie shops.

Let me know if you find one as I have a downpipe waiting to be installed!

There are two decent shops in Walpole MA if you want to make the drive.

This thread sucks.

Both in Walpole MA:

Max @ NorthEast Autobahn <--Tell him Jonathan with the single turbo sent you.

Wile Automotive <-- Never been there but they are VERY well known in the local BMW world.

Farley @ Eurotek is good if he is closer to you.


This thread sucks because the local NE section on this forum is dead especially this chat thread. I have seen more action from corpses.

Thanks.

That's a bummer I really loved these forums. I was very active with my 135i. I still have that and the x1 35i but both forums have wayyyy less activity than the 3 series forums.
