  1. What's brown and sticky?
  2. Location of screws:
  3. Maybe you can use Firefox as it fits images to the window. I personally think there's no need for images over 640px wide, but that's just me. Oh, and wow, lovely watch!
  4. Today, it's another day in the emerald isle and once again one of these three. This one won the fight today.
  5. Sounds like a problem with the rotor. I find after half a day's wear, I get over 24 hour's reserve. Or are you a shop-front mannequin by trade?
  6. This is my current recommendation:
  7. And the dial, by the sound of things.
  8. If Flav hasn't asked The Zigmeister, how can we? Let's close this one.
  9. Easy fix, but I'd not send the watch back to the same guy. He sounds dangerous.
  10. Yeah, why can't all n00bs be this useful.
  11. Knowing Slay's sense of humour, I have to presume this is a joke.
  12. ... and this is why you shouldn't consider yourself an advert for Rolex. Sure, there are a lot more reasons, but the number one reason is you buy a Rolex to show you can afford a Rolex. It's why gold Datejusts and Presidents way outsell sports Rolexes. Wearing a Sub may show you like a sporty dive watch, but wearing an iced gold 'Lex shows you want people to respec' your wristbling like you spray more champagne than you drink. The day those rich Asian businessmen stop looking at Rolex as a measure of success, and move to Patek, simply because their lift operator has a fake Deejay, is the day the counterfeit industry has killed Rolex.
  13. Man, what a sweet watch and excellent tale.
  14. What you feel and what the truth is are two different things. A lot of people don't seem to understand that uncontrolled advertising can be terrifying to an image-based company like Rolex. They don't want you as an advert. They never asked and they're not happy.
  15. Oh, and our buying of replicas does hurt the brand owner. How many sales has Rolex lost because someone thought their friends would assume it's a fake so they bought a different brand instead?
  16. The laws are much clearer than that clear. Anything breaking another companies copyright, trademarks or patents is illegal. Putting Rolex on the dial is breaking Trademark. Using a Triplock crown (before the patent expired) is breaking patent law. Using a Panerai crown guard is breaking trademark. Passing off as another brand is breaking Trademark and copyright.
  17. Toscana 120 Seawaterproof on the 187 and Maestro on the 127.
  18. Once you feel you can do without it for a few days. You getting this is hopefully like me getting the Aquatimer. Looks like a good summer for reps.
  19. The master at work. Another great review, and one that will become a new standard, as have your past reviews. Is it me or is your photographic lighting getting even better? The brushed metal surfaces are coming out perfectly now. You've been harping on about this watch since I've known you. I suspect it'll take some effort to get it off your wrist.
  20. I'm off IT contracting this weekend, earning my rent, so I'm sure anyone that follows my wristchecks (does anyone actually do that?) will be able to guess the three watches I have in my travelling kit. And, just to make the picture more accurate (well, because I needed some steel) I have the Planet Ocean on its bracelet exactly like in the photo.
  21. Good soundtrack though.
  22. The best I could do. A Sub vs Monster comparison.
