There ya go. I've taught hundreds of boys gun safety. My son is the Rangemaster at Scout camp. Educate them and they can self-regulate.

A few pictures of my new watch. The pics are taken with my iPhone.. Hope you enjoy!

OK, now you made sense

Hey Mike Count me in. 26th, Biggies 2pm M5

I've reduced no such thing, but instead expanded it. I think you miss the point of this Nation. Yes. I believe our leaders are very aware that Americans are armed, and why. We just saw an election with each candidate for president spending about $1 billion each for your vote, and my vote. That is part of our process, but not all of it. What stops a leader in this Nation from making a dictatorship? From attempting to command the military to seize power through force? I think you are "delusional" to leave out "that thought". Our Founders didn't leave it out.

Guns don't kill people any more than pencils write misspellings. Think about that for a moment. Yes, lack of education is the root of these mass shootings. What are the kids NOT being taught? Respect others. He's a person, not a problem. Raise your kids. Once they're born, "your" life is 2nd and their life is primary. You sacrifice to raise your kids. Don't expect the TV to raise them. You fathered a child? Marry his mother. Be a dad, not just a sperm donor. That child needs you. Get your lazy butt out of bed and make something of yourself today. Make your mother proud. Somebody disrespected you? Tough. Suck it up, buttercup. Be a man. Show him you're better than that and you can take it with a smile. Be man enough to walk away from a fight. You want that shiny thing he has? Earn one of your own. Don't take his. His is his, not yours. There are smarter, stronger, and better people than you. Get used to it. Nobody died and made you king. Call them "sir" and be gracious. You have a responsibility to every person you see today. It is your duty, nobody else's, to make their life easier today in a small way. Do it today, not tomorrow. Life does not "owe" you. If you're not going to put out the effort, you deserve to go without. If you work hard enough and you're diligent, you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. Nobody can hold you down until you give them permission. She's a lady. In her daddy's eye she's a princess. Treat her like one. Expect him to kick your ass if you don't. That old fool that's pissing you off? He was you a few years ago. You'll be him in a few years. Show some damn respect. Any form of electronic "entertainment" where you get to kill a person is just wrong. It's sick. Don't do that. That line about "we are all winners"? It's crap. If you want to win you better be ready to compete, because someone else has been training. Your mama loves you. Think about that before you do something stupid. Little kids are watching you. You're an example whether you like it or not. Don't you dare be a bad example to them. Life is tough. Be tougher. But do it gently. Be gracious. Smile and bust your ass to be a better man. Start today. I guarantee if these were taught to kids today, the rates of aggressive violence would plummet. So what's preventing each of us from teaching these to the kids we know? Nothing but our pride. Suck it up, buttercup. Fix the damn problem.

Cant seem to find the time to do a full review at the moment, but I took some macro shots of some tiny details. The shots are not great, but I thought I would keep the thread going for those still on the fence about this edition.

I actually learned to shoot a gun (and gun safety of course) in Boy Scouts ...

You couldn't be more right, ZK. When you raise up a kid the right way, he won't resort to a gun when he's mad or insulted or gets his feelings hurt. So find a Boy Scouts troop. Teach them integrity and character and responsibility. When it becomes "real" to them, then they'll live it. Then they start passing it along to their friends. THEN the fire gets lit and the kids raise each other up to a higher standard. "If we work on marble, it will perish; if on brass, time will efface it; if we rear up temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and the love of our fellowmen, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten to all eternity." --Daniel Webster

Thursday... Something different for today, the Magrette "bronze" .

this just in today...got a great deal on it....looks like lum is redone...but a very cool green... http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us

Bergeon 5680 Luminous paste. You mix with a bit of water (& paint, if you want to simulate patina) &, when dry, it looks similar to tritium with a soft glow that quickly fades within a minute or so. Alternatively, a mixture of (non luminescent) paint & your choice of granular material, which is what I prefer, can, if done well, yield very accurate-looking 40+ year-old tritium. Art/artist supply shops sell everything you need.

Tissot chronograph, still on wrist and the work beater for the rest of the day

First day without the new EXP2 since arrival. A fine substitute I feel - 390 DLC.

I think it's better. I once tried to open a PAM187 case with sliced bread, it didn't work well.

The cost and the time frame to do this project would then skyrocket. At the very basic level, this means that you have to prototype for two production cycles and order two separate tooling sets, one here and one for China. Your fixed costs just went up. Secondly, the level of precision required to constitute a meaningful incentive to run either the whole mid-case production or just the fine detail finishing in the US dictates that you use a big shop. Smaller shops will have older, less precise equipment and you will just waste your time and money if you go to them. If they're ambitious idiots, they'll make you a proto run fit for the scrap bucket. If the are savvy, they wont do a run or outright turn you down, the foreman/owner will just take your project to the bigger shop as the middleman. Once you get to the big shop level, they will all be booked for about a year to eighteen months on big batches, usually semi-conductor parts runs for the likes of Intel. You won't be able to incentivize them to give you big boys priority because the whole market is maybe 200-250 cases of all flavors combined. Lastly, you can be sure that big shops have a huge library of blacklisted designs. Even if the mid-case designs don't infringe on anything outright, the case will raise some warning flags and they might simply forgo the possible future aggravation of finding their product in the midst of some counterfit luxury goods scandal.

this is purely a cosmetic mod - will not make it more or less accurate in terms of movement. Also this has absalutly nothing to do with the blue paint in the engraving. The noob factory 111 has the engraved movement while h factory has a sticker.

Thanks guys. I'm just looking for a straight swap DG2813 <-> DG2813. So is it or isnt it a straight swap I don't mind having to check this out a bit with cousinsuk but I keep on reading that if the very basic asian21j DG2813 fails then its not worth servicing just straight swap out. Then it seems a straight swap is not all there is to it? Alot of people seem to be doing the high beat upgrade i.e... DG2813 <-> DG4813, which confuses things. I'm not really interested in that. Just the straight DG2813 swap. So do I have to worry about cannon pinion height for this? Its not too easy to get a straight answer and I've searched multiple forums. Some say yes no problem, some say no the DG2183 the reps use is different than those replacements bought in the shops.
