Back in the day, a bezel was a diving computer.

Dude, you do realise I am Legend (1954) was the birth of the Zombie Genre, right? ps. Last Man On Earth and The Omega Man were both adaptations of the book I Am Legend.

I need to get my crystal ARed.

MP3s (or AACs) won because most people don't listen to music on costly stereos; they use in-ear headphones and car stereos. And while I agree with most of what you're saying, we still have a format war, it's just not the HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray that everyone thought it was: It's downloads (legal/illegal/on-demand) vs broadcast (cable/satellite/digital TV) vs media (dvd/blu-ray).

Eh? I'm not saying you should have said "No, it's a fake", as that's your decision and yours alone. I'm just saying you can't say you didn't lie to him when you did.

You'd be surprised how wrong some gen manuals are, especially on the subject of He valves.

It's all about the bandwidth. If you're using a SAN to play videos, where do you get the content? The current best format for domestic video is 1080p24 h.264 AVC for movies. You're looking at a minimum of 10GB per movie (7GB/hour minimum) at the kind of quality you're getting off Blu-Ray. TV shows at 1080i60 are around 10GB/hour, meaning you need a huge amount of bandwidth to match the ability to go to the shop and come home with three movies for an evening in. There's an old sysadmin saying for this occasion: "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway." - Andrew S. Tanenbaum

Entertainingly, this does in fact mean your average Panerai Diver's watch cannot be called a Diver's watch.

Surely if diver's watches bezels were for timing remaining air, they'd be in reverse.

And it should.

Sure. It was when you said you didn't know if it was an original or not.

Like I said to your alter-ego next door, up to the point he asked if it was original, he didn't know if it was genuine or not. From then on, you told him to suspect it somehow. Something you did or said gave you away, not the watch.

Absolutely not! The 3719 is still amazing. I'll be getting the ETA wheels and K2222 AR on it soon.

Their prices are listed in dollars. The dollar is crap.

It'd be hard. I'd need something with a chrono and possibly a bezel. Luckily for me, my latest watch fits the bill. However I have been giving the perfect daily wear watch some thought and I may have come to the conclusion that that watch is one I've never owned: The 42mm Planet Ocean. I'll have to buy one to see if this is true. If either a Perfect Sub or SD existed, they too could fit the bill.

The plastic feel is due to the crystal being mounted in the movable bezel.

I have this one I'm thinking of selling:

Look at the bracelet! Is it ready?

It takes as long as it takes.

Yes. They're called CDs. Funny how everyone forgets Sony invented the CD with Phillips.

Why not ask Precious Time?

Paramount and Universal are the only studios exclusively on HD-DVD and there are rumours Paramount is exercising its "If Warners go, we reserve the right to follow" clause in their contract. Favourite moment in the youtube clip above: "Lord of the Rings" (drops head)

The end of the format war is what will drive sales. Many people were waiting to see who won before buying. HD hasn't caught on as well as people had hoped, due to the silly format war.

There is too much light on the left of the bezel to be a commercial photo, but thanks anyway.
