Pugwash

The Noobmariner and cheap 111/183 haven't changed price. You can still get a lot of watch for

No, we all watch Top Gear with its IWC/TAG/PO wearing presenters (Slow, Hamster and Clarkson, respectively).

The man had talent and will be missed.

The amusing thing is that the band sometimes say it is and sometimes say it isn't, depending by whom they're being interviewed. Here's a VH1 version:

You know that's a song about wanking, right?

If you can pick it up and it's an automatic (hear the rotor) with seconds at three with working chronos, it's gen.

It worked the other way round. I watched the film because there was a Fiddy in it. Did I tell Mrs Pugwash? No-o-o. Did she spot the Fiddy? Oh yes. It's hard to miss. Still, she thinks all movies have Panerais in them because they're pretty watches.

Set the time then the date. Remember, you can set the time backwards if needed.

Thanks. That's the one I was thinking of.

Day three ... it's Seadweller 1665 day, again, again.

Brilliant.

You want to buy Swiss parts with Chinese Yuan? Nice going.

Here's my cheap Panerais. A 183 and 111, both $110 from Silix. That strap probably cost more than the watch ...

Sapphire is Mohs 9, Diamond is 10 - that'll do it. The other thing that can scratch Sapphire is stone walls made of artificial or simulated stone as they contain silicon carbide. Diamond is used to polish sapphire, so it'll scratch it with effort.

MBK and MBW are the same watches, for all intents and purposes. You'll see a lot of people using the term MBK instead of MBW because it's more accurate. MBW is actually a very inaccurate term.

Mine too. I need this watch!

Like who?

We've been at this position for almost a year and we're screwed now. We had our chance and we blew it. We, as a group, cannot stop paying whatever they ask and we've demonstrated this, unfortunately. I rallied against it and then bought a SFSO and 3717 and I've got my Aquatimer on pre-order. Let's face it, we're humped.

It's a fantasy model based loosely on the non-chrono Aquatimer. I saw a few of these in Thailand. Not worth a lot, really.

Narikaa usually has it. It's cheap.

Yeah, it's weird. I don't know why.

Dressy, intricate ... FA Jones. Get two for your $250. Or ...

You're bound to get loads of Panerai suggestions, so let me get the 183 out of the way right now. Other than that, you've got Datejusts and loads of other ETA-powered non-chronos. What's your taste run to?

I'm sure someone posted a link to a sapphire drop-in replacement for the Monster ...

Oh, I forgot this one: Yes, I still think it's the best replica yet. Not the best watch replicated, but the best replication of a watch. Spot on copy (close enough), waterproof, swiss-powered ... you need one of these just to see what our artisan counterfeiters are capable of.
