Read the polls lately son? JTB

No no no Kev. Absolutely no sour grapes from this Scotty! If it's not the sub then so be it. This is your baby and Jays and ultimately those who end up voting for the eventual winner. In fact as the poll starter of the "perfect sub" if you want to pull it from the competition now, then feel free. I have made my point and if the final rules are that it shouldn't be included then I am happy to abide by that. One final point however, for the sanity of the board, we may have to separate down the feasible from the impossible, as well as maybe foreshortening the timescale. JTB

Aah Kevin - methinks your objectivity slippeth somewhat. Seriously though, I haven't bought a rep in quite a while now and to be honest I'm not that fussed about anything else that's kicking around including most of the suggestions in the polls. Maybe it's rep fatigue but just maybe it's to do with a recognition that we're all being strung along in the belief that somebody will produce that A1 rep that will get us all wetting our undercrackers. Alas it just ain't gonna happen. It does keep us on the leash though! The fear of factories and dealers producing the perfect sub must surely extend to any other big time model, so you can all dismiss the prospect of that perfect Seahawk or Transatlantique or Easy Diver or Swordfish. It just won't happen. I'm not trying to pooh pooh the initiative, because I support it, but in the final analysis it just comes down to a popularity poll of genuines. Remember that - genuines not reps cos the final choice ain't made it yet, whatever it is. For sure the Ebel 1911 is a lovely watch but I'll bet you a quid to a wheelbarrow of [censored], if produced there will be those that will pick holes in the finished article. Why? Because they will exist. It's the nature of the game and 2 years down the line the cry might be......."Who has the best Ebel 1911" *Rant over* JTB

Like so many of the teams already through we played as if we couldn't give a [censored] adams. Copenhagen were hungrier and were out to prove a point although I'm not sure what that is. I'm disappointed that we took such a 'couldn't care less' approach although if the plan was to avoid Barcalona, who look like the very strong favourites, then the plan worked. All in all we were pish but we're through and that's what counts. JTB

Isn't the production of any counterfeit watch an underground project? And why is there such a reluctance to go further with the sub, especially on a one-off initiative such as this? As I said before there is, and always will be a groundswell of demand for this. All those lovely alternative suggestions (some of which are frankly in fairyland!) don't beat the old sub when it comes to what the punters want. I won't cry if Jay says no but I set out to prove a point and regardless of what happens from now on in, I think I've proved my point and furthermore, the views of the dominant voters in this exercise are loud and clear.

Lots! (sorry dashing out) JTB

Welcome and may I suggest you look below at my signature: JTB

Links as in sausages ken........or some other kind of links? JTB

Swiss or Asian? JTB

How’s about you keep your money and get a crate of that stuff in your avatar. Get stuck intae it and pretty soon you won’t be able to say Swiss ETA never mind bother about considering ordering one. Problem solved. We aim to help JTB

.............and another thing.............There is now such a groundswell of interest in the "best ever sub" that it ought to be taken seriously. Jeez it might even be the leader at the moment. Not to mention it's poll was posted up hours before the new conditions were. Unlike most other previously attempted reps, there is a certain folklore and antiquity with the sub and an exception should be made to include this one iconic, previously attempted rep. *steps off podium* JTB

It's all a question of how much these wimmin mean to you whether you pony up for the Swiss eta or go Asian. So what's it gonna be? JTB

As long as people follow RWG rules.........heh heh! JTB

Never ever ever ever in a million years unless they offered me lots and lots of lovely lolly! JTB

Just take one step near my poll and see what happens Sonny Jim! JTB

He says: "Been wearing one for over two years with no hassle`s at all" Somebody lead him here! JTB

Correct - Sold out in 90 minutes I think. No luck chuck! JTB
