RWG won't be the same with out The Zigmeister. Merry Christmas to and best wishes for a happy holiday. Usil

If this is your first attempt - it looks like you have the knack. Keep up the good work. Usil

I agree. I just bought an Oppo up-converting DVD player for my new Samsung 61" LCD TV and the picture quality is amazing. 'Near' HD quality - and good enough to hold me over for all my current DVDs until HD/BlueRay settles down. And a big bonus - there is a hidden menu that allows you a setting to play all regions. Works perfect from my US and French DVDs. Usil

Imperections? - What imperfections? Looks pretty damn good to me. Usil

Excellent review. One of the best. Usil

Darn. Finally get home to the US and was going to have TTK pick me one out and now looks like not a good idea. Usil

Jonny P - Please tell us you did not take your replica to an authorized Breitling dealer and expect them to service it. Usil

How is the turning mechanism - smooth? Usil

4 posts and straight to the nudes. And she wasn't even wearing a watch. Usil

I've been ready to see a rep for years. usil

MARCH 25, 2008 - the date that Pugwash will hit 10,000. Usil

Oh boy, here we go again. Usil

Why is this watch so thick? Usil

What a trip! And thanks for shairing it with us. We were with you on each leg of the trip. Thankfully, you made it without too serious of incidents. I would bet you could sell your story to cycling magazines. Good luck in your future endeavors. Usil

Nice stories. I like happy endings. Usil

God help me they were killing the cams. Usil

Tripod: absolutely - positively - a must have for watch photos. Taking pictures close up without bright light or just window light, like me, means slow shutter speeds and if the camera is not on a tripod it is impossible to get a good shot. A few links to spend some time on: Tech courner - Steve's Digicams Lots of camera reviews Understanding Series A Photo Forum Dedicated to Photoshop Enthusiasts How to get Great colors How to do anything Photographic A way to increase depth of field Increasing dynamic range of photos Useful photo links Usil

Thanks for the kind comments on the photo. Usil

Ryyannon is right - just get out and stroll through the city for a day. Or if you have not been here before and want to spend the first day on a quick tour - take the Batobus up and down the seine for a very nice river view of the city. See something you like - hop off. Batobus Usil

A few Questions: 1. What is the key equipment, based on a tight budget, for someone to purchase if they want to make some decent closeup shots? 2. What are some good links to review for moving from automatic picture taking (just puch the one button) to Aperture Preferred camera settings? 3. How do you take a picture that is 8 meg in size (in the camera) and reduce it to 300k (for posting on the web) without degrading the picture too much? Usil

Appreciate the time you spent on this the comments and the insight. Usil

Correct - the bezel and the crystal move as one. Usil

Regulated to less than 3 seconds lost per 24 hours. Usil

After looking at the pictures all I can say is wow - the pictures speak for themselves. Usil

The AR is exactly what all Breiltings should have and by the way - since they can do it for this one why not the others? This should be the standard. As for the red of the date - not sure of exact color as I have never seen a gen. Usil
