Pugwash

Is that her in your signature? She looks very naughty.

The IMEI is also usually available on the bar code on the outside of the box or in the phone under the battery.

Excellent, another option for us Europeans. Good luck, EuroTimes!

Looks like faux-chrono to me. Avoid.

I'm not sure Blue Whales breach the water completely. A partial breach would be the equivalent of an elephant standing on its rear legs. Any marine biologists want to weigh in on this one? ps. Fish? The Blue Whale isn't a fish.

I know, I know! This one: "One of these amazing, but useless facts is false." There's more than one false fact, so that phrase is wrong. Do I win? That's me.

... and another one wrong. She bathed every few weeks, which was a lot for the era. She never uttered that quote.

Um, what about the blue whale? ps. Sorry, you did ask us to tell you which ones were false.

Another one that's not true. The preserved corpse of Jeremy Bentham (Auto-icon) with a wax head (his real one was damaged during preservation) is kept in the University but isn't present at all important meetings.

Neither of these is true, by the way, although the missing testicle rumour hasn't been proved satisfactorily either way. His vegetarianism is definitely not true. His doctor recommended a vegetarian diet in 1931, but he didn't stick to it. According to his cook, for instance, his favourite meal was the Ryyannon-annoying Squab.

Dishwasher! Great idea.

I always remove the stem in the time-setting position. Why? Because I don't have The Zigmeister's skill and I'm not prepared to release the main spring like you're supposed to. The thought of unleashing the tension in the spring carefully scares the bejebus out of me. So, yes I do it wrongly, but I feel better about it.

Yes. Send a text message (chat) instead of a call.

All you guys stating it's a 21,600 movement, are you sure? I mean absolutely sure? Everything I can find about the 2836-1 states it's a 28,800 movement. Don't send it back, don't transplant it.

It's such excellent news this thread is over. "Checking on my sausages, opening the door. Can't wait to see my sausages, sitting on..."

The father of Dungeons and Dragons has passed away. I realise this won't mean much to most people, but it matters to some. Farewell!

You can't make a watch waterproof, but you can test a watch for water resistance. If it tests well, you can shower in it.

Agreed, but you must know how boring it can get over there. I hear it's long periods of boredom interspersed with short periods of people trying to kill you. Imagine what three dumb bored marines with a video camera would do. Or, you don't even need to imagine it. This is a perfect example.

Proven myth.

I just love the outrage some people have over the most stupid of stuff. Dead dogs are tossed into incinerators every day by people who genuinely care about them. Dogs are gassed or given lethal injections by societies that genuinely care about animals. This is a daily occurrence at dog pounds and the like. Yet one puppy is shown as a casualty of war and all hell breaks loose. What about the soldiers being photographed with corpses? What about hunters playing with their kills? It's just a dead dog, people. Take a good look at yourselves and can't you see you're being played? Welcome to the internet where faux-outrage will get you the respect of your peers. Sheesh.

So he's ok killing people, but not throwing dead animals?

I'm trying to remove a Panerai 187 bezel and it won't budge. Anyone here managed it? Any hints? Tips? Clues? Thanks in advance.

If the experts here are unsure, I'd say it's done its job. Nice work, Zig. I hope to own a watch so old and battered it needs to be sent to you.

Read the review. It came from Ruby. While the watch is excellent, the service was ... odd.

How can you ever get a 100% accurate Tritium paint dial? Surely it'll only be fairly accurate as the lume would be a give-away. If it's not self-powered and diminished in the right amount for the age and Tritium's 12-year half-life, it's never going to pass scrutineering.
