  1. Use the coupon code (in the image below) at check-out to get the $19 price .. SHIPPED http://www.meritline...---p-55402.aspx true 42Khz ultrasonic, not lame "vibrating" unit. I've bought two in the past and they are good stuff, from my experience. For best results, ignore the 5 minute auto-shut-off and run it a few times in a row. I normally use a 50/50 mixture of water and Windex (window cleaning fluid)

  3. Just got my diver yesterday.. BEAUTIFUL. I ordered it with both the strap and bracelet. It would've been cheapest for you to order it with your new diver, since shipping cost would've been avoided... I believe the bracelet is about 100-120usd from most dealers. The swap is FAIRLY easy. I initially had problems fitting the strap, but after I realized that it's easier to connect the strap with the endlinks already attached to the watch, (rather than attaching the links to the strap first, then trying to attach them to the watch. it was easy as pie. ) Attaching the bracelet is easier than the strap., taking out links from the bracelet is easy too. I had to take out like 5 links (6.75 wrists).. but it fits perfectly now. I paid 88 for my bracelet from Tony.. but I'm not sure if that was the price for buying it with the watch. In any case, expect to pay 30 bucks shipping from most of the dealers.. you mind as well get a new watch with the bracelet to save on shipping

  5. Excellent advice, JKay. But venturing outside of a brand i like initially is what got me from 3 watches to 12 watches.

  6. Top one seems to be the Noob V3, same serial as V3 at least. Don't see a serial on the other case, looks almost like it was photoshopped out.

  7. I think the gen cyclops does have AR. But the gen cyclops is (probably) sapphire, whereas the rep is plastic. So even AR on the plastic isn't the same as gen. But better than nothing. Definitely no AR on the gen crystal. However I'm very tempted to do single AR anyhow on the crystal, which is hardly noticeable but does make a bit of a difference.

  9. You need staples. By that, you need some shirts that actually fit you, some nice ties, a few decent suits, and a couple of pairs of shoes. The most important is shirts and pants if you're building a wardrobe. Shirts: Shirts are your bread and butter. I'm a 42 chest and have a similar problem. the remedy is to go out and try shirts from several different brands, and find the ones that are cut to suit you. Also, you need to make friends with a great tailor, who can measure you up and get you sorted. Pants: I thought pants were easy, but you would be amazed to know the variations. Most importantly, the number and type of front pleats, the material and how it drops, and the cut play a huge part in how a pair of pants sit on you. Jackets: Not sure of the type of work, but you might not need to wear matching jackets/pants. A nice business jacket/pant combo should set you apart with a little tailoring. I find business suit jackets are really boxy, and can always use some cinching at the waist. Ties/tie bars/ cufflinks/ accessories Assuming a nice watch is sorted (:op), accessories play a big role in looking good. There was a great article with the wardrobe designer of Mad Men on askmen.com recently, and he put together the clothing for the characters. He discussed thinner ties, presidential cut pocket squares and so on, you could use much of that. Tailoring: Most important is tailoring. I would spend 3-4 grand on clothing and then using the rest to get all of your clothing tailored perfectly to your body type and style of wear. Either that, or you spend a lot of time hunting around in shops trying to find cuts off the rack. It's possible. There is an Australian designer whose cuts are a relaxed European cut and not really slim-fit (I have no idea what body-type fits on those, by the way). Tried on a 44 (my actual size and it fit well enough, but was a little baggy. Tried on the 42, and the waist was cinched perfectly to my shape, sleeves were exactly where I would have had them tailored, and the length was exactly where I wanted it. Needless to say, I got both the black and blue jackets Great tailoring never goes out of style. I've moved from very fashionable to more classic, well-selected pieces. The streams of compliments tell me the changes are for the better Most important, enjoy it clothing should be fun and rewarding, and not a chore. Look for the fun in everything, makes life more fun to live and if you need inspiration, watch any of the last 5 Bond movies, especially the recent ones with Craig... Tom Ford designed all the clothing and Holy Crap, he's a fantastic designer. Have fun mate! SR

  12. This girl wouldn't give you the time of day anyway. So, no harm done. Also, did you ever think that maybe this girl is a good friend of mine? This is the reason why I responded to your inappropriate comment.

  13. Wait until you buy your next car to get this. Then when anyone mentions, "What a beautiful watch!" you can reply, "Thanks. I got it when I bought my new car." They will immediately get the wrong impression that you just bought a Bently and picked up the watch at the same time. It looks nice. Who is the vendor?
