GenTLe, perhaps that term "girl" is best described this way:

Hi Martijn, Here you go, it came with a steel diver so I don't know where it was sourced from originally, but it does look good with the yellow on the carbon diver.

After Solstice now, the Long Dark is slowly returning again.

I fail to see the insult. That's your insecurity talking. And its Northwestern... Not Northwest. Damn. No wonder you can't find stickers. You can't read.

If I was a "mindless non-thinker", I would believe you. But I don't. Not at all. By corollary, does that make me a "mindful thinker"? At any rate, I believe you relish in this platform as it validates a feeling of self-worth in your life. Perhaps for the first time, you are being heard.. even it if is from a group of "blindless" fools. My guess is, that you do not have much else in your life with the exception of being a "champion" for your cause; I gotta think you are a very lonely person.. and for that, I do have empathy. As evidenced by your handle, perhaps you've read one too many Len Deighton novels. You are actually not seeing the real truth as you claim. You are as brainwashed as those in the novel/movie. So odd. One day you may be deserving of the truth, but not yet. Carry on foolish boy.

F@ck, this is the best topic on rwg by far! Ipcress, pleas share what you smoke mate, we all need some of that

Once again, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. This not only doesn't make sense, it has nothing to do with what I posted. I finished my PhD in 2012, this thesis was written then, not "inside 2 years of qualifying". It represents 6+ years of work. I was 30 when I finished my PhD, which is a pretty normal age and not "late in life" for a PhD at all (at least in the US -- the UK has a different system, PhDs only take 3 years there). As for being real... I've posted photographs of my degree and my thesis. Here's a proof of the snap the photographers tried to sell me when I got hooded A pic of me in my CERN days (I no longer work there) And, just to prove that very average looking Asian dude is me, here's a pic of me holding a sign saying "Ipcress is an ignorant twit" I have a PhD. I'm baffled by why you'd think I would lie about it. Having a PhD doesn't get you much of anything (I do go by "Doctor" in hotels, I've found it gets me better service, but that's about it). You've been as shockingly wrong about pretty much every aspect of what a PhD is (I still find it hilarious that you think a PhD has a "cert number") as you are about everything else. Own up to being an idiot and move on. You're embarrassing yourself.

Ipcress. Let's assume for the moment that you and Dr Wood are correct (although you and Dr Wood only see a small part of the grander picture because, ironically, you are "brainwashed" as much as you claim the rest of us (the world) are).... What's your end game here? Realistically, no one is going to provide you with sourcing letraset stickers for your watch. With your so-called investigative brilliance on projectiles, explosives and the like, you cannot find stickers,,,???? Stickers!??That's a friggin joke. Truly a FAIL. Are your plans to continue being a Wood disciple and attempt to enlighten us minions ? Does this forum give you the voice you need in your life? Is this what motivates you when you wake up? Seriously, what's your end game here? Good luck in your sticker quest.

Girln2watches, you have to understand that most of the guys / members here (hey in this case the terms are synonymous) have never kissed a girl, have wrists as thick as a milk straw and wear plaid. Think of Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory and you won't be far off. Okay, okay ... the "plaid" comment was a bit much. They're trying desperately to not look like leering troglodytes by flocking to your very well worded question, and posting what will certainly be misconstrued as "the hots". They're a great bunch, and possess VAST knowledge about watches, from the arcane to the superficial. Any one of these boys could write an encyclopedia. So just be patient. They're not used to having a female actually talk to them, and doubtless are checking Wikis to see what appropriate responses might be. Give them time, smile a lot, think about bringing in donuts and leaving a 6-pack lying around .... before long you'll get some (semi) coherent replies. Now c'mon boys..... she wants to play nice. And Girln2watches, welcome aboard!

1) Yes, my PhD says "Evanston" Illinois... as that's where Northwestern University is located. "Northwestern University is a private research university with campuses in Evanston and Chicago in Illinois, United States. Wikipedia " 2) You assert that I lifted pictures off the internet... yet it's clear from the picture that I physically had the degree with me. 3) If you were to look for pictures of Northwestern PhDs on the internet, it would become clear quickly that my degree is an authentic one. 4) If you think someone with a PhD is less likely to insult you, you must not have ever met anyone with a PhD in real life. Having a PhD doesn't make a person any nicer, if anything PhD holders tend to be more prickly and far less tolerant of blatant idiocy like the kind you are displaying right now. (And also, as someone with a PhD in physics... no one would pretend to have a PhD in physics. Physicists aren't that cool. If you're going to lie about what you do, you're going to be an astronaut or a Navy SEAL, not a physicist.) 5) Speaking of your idiocy, you demand to know what university I graduated from and the date. You know those are printed right on the degree, yes? They're literally right there in the picture. 6) PhDs do not have a "cert number." They are not a professional qualification, it's not like a PE license or a bar card. If you need to prove that you have a PhD (for a new job or whatnot) it's customary to submit academic transcripts. 7) As for my thesis, it was about the flavor-changing neutral current interaction. I'm a particle physicist. My academic institution was Northwestern, but I actually did my research at CERN, I worked at the LHC. I happen to have a copy at my desk, in fact If you want to look even more stupid, I can dig up some pictures later of me at CERN and me getting hooded. Don't have time right at the moment. The planes were hijacked at altitude. They came down from that altitude. Therefore, they were high up in the sky and then came down. Do you need me to draw you a picture? The fact that they were in straight and nearly level flight for the last few miles doesn't mean they didn't come down from high up. And we've reached the end of the rabbit hole -- you can't logically refute what I'm saying, so you accuse me of being a "DisinfoOp" (a word which I'd never heard until today, but whose meaning seems clear from context). I guess you've "uncovered" the "truth". I'll go back to running the X-files now.

Decisions, decisions :-)

Still wearing the new acquisition, Carrera CV2010

I was looking for a new wallpaper for my phone. This is perfect. Thanks sneed!

From Andrew back in January. I absolutely love this piece. Got ETA movement version and NEVER have to adjust the time.

No, it's not. Vne is a number (well, it's a number as a function of altitude at any rate). It's an arbitrary line drawn across the flight envelope. If an airplane is going 1 knot below Vne, it's within the envelope. Going 2 knots faster puts it 1 knot outside the envelope. This does not cause the airplane to explode, or the wings to rip off, or any other nonsense. That's not how structural failure works. Vne can be and has been exceeded without catastrophic damage. An aircraft that exceeds Vne MAY experience immediate catastrophic structural failure (Egyptair 990 for example), but it doesn't automatically break into a million pieces. Nor is that how air resistance works. And those speeds are easily achievable at low altitudes by 767s -- those planes were descending from altitude. Height = energy = speed. A 767 can't accelerate to that speed at that altitude in level flight, but it can certainly achieve that speed in a shallow dive. Simple physics. Among the other things you know absolutely nothing about, a PhD is not "numbered" nor does it have a "cert. number" or an "issuing signature". Take a look: If he's a REAL pilot I guess he has one of these I used to be a demo guy in the Marine Corps (well, technically I was an 0351, not EOD or combat engineers, but we did a lot of demo). I have seen pieces of plywood punch through sheet metal and glass marbles go through concrete. Aluminum will cut steel and concrete when it's traveling at a relative speed of 800 mph, no problem at all. Simple physics. Congratulations, you're an idiot. I'm not even talking about the 9/11 thing now -- you don't understand basic physics like "when airplanes come down from high up they can go fast." You display a shocking lack of ability to reason.

Here is my 1016 from a 1601 from a few years ago: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/151625-1016-wip-almost-fin/ http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/151625-1016-wip-almost-fin/ - for more build photos.

Watch out for chronos as A7750 movements can be problematic, better off with three hand as your DH not into the hobby he will not know where to get serviced. (not your local watch dealer)

Looked around over there for you, nothing. No idea misiekped did it. MOAB = ten thumbs w/ bad eyes!

Here's my 3646 RP with an Cortebert 616 engine build that I've been working on for a couple of weeks. 616 engine is serviced and running strong. It needed some work and is very old. From the way it's running, you would have no idea These are my toys for this project Case reshaping Oh and I installed a 8mm rolex brevet crown 616 running top notch

This watch doesn't have any complications, so one of the ETA's or clones would be the best bet for this watch. JMB has built a ton of the Explorers, so he would be a good source of info if you are wanting to build one. Also there are a lot of Explorer threads here as well. This is a simple watch, so you don't need a complicated problem prone movement for this one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Give a look to the pinned threads here. Not all will work because most of these posts are very very old. About the rest keep tuned on the new posts in the general discussion area, and also look around in the brand areas to get what's new. You'll learn soon (I'm also newbie here but in 3 weeks I'm ok with the acronyms here, like DSSD, TD (trusted dealer) or ROO). Cheers, GenTLe
