Pugwash

Today, some of this:

My problem with this is the same as with Slytech watches or car branded. I could never cope with people saying "I luv that Bono as well" even if it has nothing to do with U2! It's a beauty and if it were available without the name on the dial I'd lust for it.

I was thinking the same thing. It's the same links as the Aquatimer 2000 as well.

Getting an ETA-powered replica will spoil you to the higher end and you're now going to curse ever having found this place. I started off wanting a decent Rolex rep and ... well, I've got over 20 reps now.

Aquatimer Chrono, as soon as it's out.

Oh yes. In fact, I really need to organise a GTG in Scotland soon ...

I have just, in the last five minutes, put away my 3717. It's been worn since I got it and it's time to break the routine. I reached into my box and decided on this old thing:

You'll be learning stuff 20 miles from where I was raised! Eee by gum! Congratulations!

Because 3ATM is a minimum? Just in case you never heard, I took my 10ATM Seiko Sub surface swimming off the coast of a little island off Pattaya and ... well, let's see, shall we? It's not a question of faith.

Being manly is incredibly gay, by the way.

Um ... the iPhone does Push. Sure it's with Yahoo, but it's still Push. Oh, and how does it take less battery than IMAP? I'm not an Apple apologist, I've managed large-scale Windows networks, including BES on Exchange for instance, but I don't get how people want to find fault with anything Apple these days. The iPhone doesn't do Push Exchange Sync? Whoop de doo, it'll still do what ever mail syncing I want with my servers and accounts. If I want Push, I just write hardcore Procmail rules (or use an off-the-shelf system any sysadmin can do for you) and selectively forward to my Yahoo. If you're not techie enough to do this or don't have a sysadmin managing your mail server, you're not going to lose out as you've not got a corporate exchange server in the first place. Sure, the iPhone has failings, but not being a Blackberry is not one of them. "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." - CmdrTaco, Slashdot, on the release of the iPod, October 2001.

They're not the same watch. You can see SS and WG El Primeros, for instance. They look almost the same, but not quite. In fact, he has no modern Daytonas by the look of things.

Looks right to me.

If you remove the movement, does the stem go back in easier? The reason I'm asking is that you can't pop the keyless works like on a 2836. When I've had trouble putting a stem back in it's been because the movement wasn't 100% aligned in the case. Oh, and you can push quite hard on the spring pin compared to a 2836.

I've seen several black wristshots on here and RWI, but I don't know if they were A-A. One thing no-one has broached is the higher proportion of Asiatics on rep forums.

It's worse on RWI, to be honest. One guy posts asking if there are any female members and the first reply is a request for bikini/lingerie photos.

If you have to ask ...

Just because you don't believe in physics doesn't mean they don't exist. I presume you know that ratings are based on static pressure and are just having a troll for comedy value, but regardless, here's the Seiko chart:

Eh? It'll do IMAP and POP3 mail. If your corporate mail server doesn't do IMAP or POP3, fire your sysadmin as he's too stupid to work with standards. Journalists like saying it'll not work with "corporate email" because it sounds like a failing. What they mean is that they don't have Exchange clients (not surprising as it's a closed Microsoft application) but they fail to state that Exchange does IMAP and POP3, even if it doesn't link into the Exchange address books and calendars. If you're not tied to Blackberry or Microsoft, your email will be the same as it's always been, and if you're on Yahoo, you'll have Blackberry-like Push email. Otherwise you'll have to wait every few minutes for your IMAP server to sync.

Panerais are gay, yes. However, wearing one doesn't make you gay. This will, though: http://www2.b3ta.com/spidermanwillmakeyougay/

I'm a UNIX sysadmin. Prior to this, I was a graphic designer, writer and game designer. Anyone looking for a sysadmin with a decade of experience in all sorts of technologies, but specialised in managing FreeBSD, Linux, Apache, etc? My rate is about

It's a shame that Silix didn't get this one made, as I'd have got the first off the line, in accordance with the "dream rep" compo, but as it is, I'll be getting this one somehow. I'll be selling some watches to cover it as soon as pre-orders are possible, most likely.

I'd get an MBW vintage, if I were you. Keep your perfect for when you need a modern. You can make a frankensub for about $600 if you're really, really careful.

I'll let someone else risk their $400 watch first, eh?

Not a single IWC! I'm so ashamed. Ok, nice collection and smashing pics, mate.
