I personally think he's an up and coming star in the strap business. He's got some beauties.

Here's a link for keyless works on a Eta movement. Might help you although some of the pictures are missing. http://www.replica-watch.info/phpBB3/viewt...=84&t=15359

You might take a look at the so called "Super" Sea Dweller. It's about as good a rep and very similar to the Sub.

What do people think about the new Sub 'Taiwan case'?
kbh replied to metaljesus's topic in The Rolex Area
That's what I was thinking. Looks the same as one I bought about 8 months ago. -

kbh replied to metaljesus's topic in The Rolex Area
The good is, it is slightly larger case and looks and feels more substantial than the Noob case. The bad is the crown guards are way too big. Fixing them would be my first priority. Even after shaving them down on the inside they are still a little large though. -
They are a fact of life in South Florida whether you or I like it or not. I guess you would rather see them all starve to death rather than make a days wage to feed their families. I would think they would be your favorite sector of the disadvantaged. They use almost no welfare and social services other than when they end up in the hospital after getting robbed and beaten up by another segment of our population that looks at them a walking ATM machines. They also do most of the work that lazy assed Americans wouldn't do no matter how much you paid them. I don't know where you live but if it's in the US you better realize that they will be in your city soon. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

That's a pretty ignorant statement itself. Having been in the construction industry for years, I've dealt with hundreds of day laborers from Central America and Mexico and the first thing they need, if they have any hope of getting more than one days work, is a cell phone. They may be living 10 or more in a trailer and eating beans and rice every day but they know the importance of a cell phone if they want to survive in America.

English native speakers...please have again a look!
kbh replied to Uhrenfreund25's topic in The looney bin
You'd need an English teacher to settle that one. "Someone in a foreign country" could be considered singular or plural I believe, based on the usage in the sentence. You first had "his/her" which implies "his or hers" which would be plural, not singular. But I think you may be right. Maybe you could say "pay tribute to the people of another country is to be familiar with their conventions............................ But apparently you have a good grasp of the English language. Maybe someone smarter can answer this. -

kbh replied to Uhrenfreund25's topic in The looney bin
The last sentence is a run on sentence. I would end it with a period after "his/her conventions" and delete the rest of the sentence. Or end it like : ..........be familiar with their conventions, customs and traditions. Also "his/her" should probably be changed to "their". -
I have a set in my desk drawer. I just put them under a light for 10 seconds and took them into a closet and I'd say they the lume is very good. Probably SL.

As I recall it was 20euros... much more comfortable than SS.

21J movement issues. Buy new or have serviced?
kbh replied to ZainoDetail's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
The Pam 005 comes with a 6497 hand wind movement doesn't it? Never seen one with a 21j. -
At least you seem to admit she has a heart. You need to look into your own heart if all you can do is denigrate others that are trying to do good in the world. Bringing publicity to a cause that you have interest in is only good common sense. Why else you you do it? If it does nothing more than bring it to the public's attention she's done more good work than you have by belittling her. I guess since Bono does so much charity work fighting hunger and aids in Africa, the millions he raises doesn't count because he does it through publicity?

Demsey, didn't mean to spell your name wrong, a la Dave 123. I enjoy your posts more than almost any that I read. You're intelligent and amusing, although a little misguided. Hey, we're both are pilots and we both love fishing. I'm sure we'd have a good time drinking an talking politics. But, since I just got home from a nice "Father's Day" dinner with my wife and a couple of martooni's, I'll defer further comments until tomorrow. And I do agree that there will never be another Jacky O. Cheers and hope your not leaving any time soon.

Yes, and quite impressed by our new first lady. She has quite a high public approval ratings regardless of the right wing bashers. Probably the highest since Jackie Kennedy.

Not to spoil your fun but........ Where does it say the guy taking the picture is homeless? Where does it say the soup kitchen is government funded? Why would you want to belittle someone who is obviously doing something good out of the kindness of her heart? I find these attitudes much more troubling than what kind of soup they're serving. And Demps, there are planes leaving for Britain every day.....

I've heard of that more than once on the Daytona seconds at 6 movement. I wouldn't even use the chrono if I was you. You're courting disaster.

Here's a note written by John Kerry which should be required reading for all you interventionist: The grass-roots protests that have engulfed Iran since its presidential election last week have grabbed America's attention and captured headlines -- unfortunately, so has the clamor from neoconservatives urging President Obama to denounce the voting as a sham and insert ourselves directly in Iran's unrest. No less a figure than Senator John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, has denounced President Obama's response as "tepid." He has also claimed that "if we are steadfast eventually the Iranian people will prevail." Mr. McCain's rhetoric, of course, would be cathartic for any American policy maker weary of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's hostile message of division. We are all inspired by Iran's peaceful demonstrations, the likes of which have not been seen there in three decades. Our sympathies are with those Iranians who seek a more respectful, cooperative relationship with the world. Watching heartbreaking video images of Basij paramilitaries terrorizing protesters, we feel the temptation to respond emotionally. There's just one problem. If we actually want to empower the Iranian people, we have to understand how our words can be manipulated and used against us to strengthen the clerical establishment, distract Iranians from a failing economy and rally a fiercely independent populace against outside interference. Iran's hard-liners are already working hard to pin the election dispute, and the protests, as the result of American meddling. On Wednesday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry chastised American officials for "interventionist" statements. Government complaints of slanted coverage by the foreign press are rising in pitch. We can't escape the reality that for reformers in Tehran to have any hope for success, Iran's election must be about Iran -- not America. And if the street protests of the last days have taught us anything, it is that this is an Iranian moment, not an American one. To understand this, we need only listen to the demonstrators. Their signs, slogans and Twitter postings say nothing about getting help from Washington -- instead they are adapting the language of their own revolution. When Iranians shout "Allahu Akbar" from rooftops, they are repackaging the signature gesture of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Mir Hussein Moussavi, the leading reformist presidential candidate, has advocated a more conciliatory approach to America. But his political legitimacy comes from his revolutionary credentials for helping overthrow an American-backed shah -- a history that today helps protect protesters against accusations of being an American "fifth column." Iran's internal change is happening on two levels: on the streets, but also within the clerical establishment. Ultimately, no matter who wins the election, our fundamental security challenge will be the same -- preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. That will take patient effort, and premature engagement in Iran's domestic politics may well make negotiations more difficult. What comes next in Iran is unclear. What is clear is that the tough talk that Senator McCain advocates got us nowhere for the last eight years. Our saber-rattling only empowered hard-liners and put reformers on the defensive. An Iranian president who advocated a "dialogue among civilizations" and societal reforms was replaced by one who denied the Holocaust and routinely called for the destruction of Israel. Meanwhile, Iran's influence in the Middle East expanded and it made considerable progress on its nuclear program. The last thing we should do is give Mr. Ahmadinejad an opportunity to evoke the 1953 American-sponsored coup, which ousted Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh and returned Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi to power. Doing so would only allow him to cast himself as a modern-day Mossadegh, standing up for principle against a Western puppet. Words are important. President Obama has made that clear in devising a new approach to Iran and the wider Muslim world. In offering negotiation and conciliation, he has put the region's extremists on the defensive. We have seen the results of this new vision already. His outreach may have helped to make a difference in the election last week in Lebanon, where a pro-Western coalition surprised many by winning a resounding victory. We're seeing signs that it's having an impact in Iran as well. Returning to harsh criticism now would only erase this progress, empower hard-liners in Iran who want to see negotiations fail and undercut those who have risen up in support of a better relationship.

OK thanks. You had me looking all over my DW case for a clue.

This is probably a stupid question but what does EE mean? A certain case type?

I believe I read a post that someone switched a UPO dial with a Narikaa PO. That would make sense if the dial is actually bigger on Narikaa's.

He probably can't answer you cause he didn't have the money sent directly to him. Don't forget this is an illegal hobby, even in China. He'll answer you soon enough if you're patient.

Here's an interesting comparison of the two gen watches. I think you all might find this interesting. Seamaster vs. Submariner
-
I highly doubt that will be the final edition. And certainly not 1:1. What are they on now, version 5? Other than that I can't tell you much since I hate the watch and have never heard of the seller. I'd stick to one of the approved sellers here. They can all get pretty much the same thing.

Oops, that's what I meant.....
