Pugwash

I have several, all very large, and it reminds me of Quentin Tarantino's Madonna diatribe in Reservoir Dogs. I look at my bookshelf and see "Big dic, dic, dic, dic, dic, dic ... tionaries."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniere%27s_Disease Today, I think I'll wear this one:

Great stuff! Thanks for the technical breakdown, it leads me to one question ... Not Aperture? Do you rate lightroom?

Nope, four sides.

Yup, Dun be a pug, and all that. I like the idea because it's voluntary. Complying means you just get to put a gold star next to your name, and it'd be interesting to see if that's motivation enough.

What triangles? Those shapes have four sides.

Bump just so people don't forget this is an active discussion.

My brain is on The Zigmeister's workbench as we speak.

That's a good thing: The space is filled with nothing but brain. If you see something there, you should start checking your life insurance policy.

I was considering the price I would sell mine for and I came to the conclusion that if I were to sell one, it'd be for over the group buy price. Why? Because I don't really want to sell one and that's what they're worth already imported and tested. Now, they're not for sale, so I know I'll be safe from threadcrappers telling me how much I paid for them and how I owe it to the community to not profiteer, but if they were, I'd see no point in discounting them when someone would happily pay what I asked. I can't see a price drop lasting, unless TTK's Group Buy becomes a regular thing, at which point modded MBWs become the must-have for those unwilling to mod them and the base price for an unmodded will be $350 or less, but never much less.

Well, I was in hospital today getting my head MRIed (tracking the cause of Meniere's Disease) and decided not to wear a rep to the hospital. I don't know why, but I just thought it was the right thing to do, so I put on my Seiko SKX031. First things first, this is MY BRAIN!!! Yes, they gave me a CD full of photos of my brain. How cool is that. And this was the watch I had to take off before having my head stuffed in a loud tumble drier:

I'm at the stage now that is the "Accumulating watch-making tools" stage. One of my vintage rolex reps arrived with a defective 2836, and I think it's something to do with the keyless works and all I can think is ... I can't wait for my hand-removal tools to arrive so I can get into the front of the movement and have a look! Sure, I'm doing so safe in the knowledge a 2846 is on its way, so I have nothing to lose, and where's that Birdman Crystal Press? I have a gen rolex crystal for my 1665 ... I spent a good part of my weekend filing down my crown guards, too. And getting a mirror-polish on the worked areas. I'm doing things now that I'd not have considered last year when I got into this hobby. I have no qualms about opening up my fintage reps and removing movements, bezels, etc. and will be on crystals, hands, faces very, very soon. Also, I'm finally considering selling some of the reps I don't wear. That's different. Sure, I'll never be a The Zigmeister or on the same level as our more talented modders, but I'll hold my own. All this in a year.

Precious Time? He's still here and he's answering his emails ...

By the way, Reg really is that size. He's a big scary fella!

It's ok, you'll get used to it.

You may want to edit the links to their equivalents here.

I didn't object to the photography while driving as I wasn't in the car to assess the safety of your actions, whereas you were and you reckoned it was safe. Worse things happen at sea and all that. What I found amusing was the Bart Simpsonesque IDidn'tDoIt lie afterwards. Faced with irrefutable evidence of the tachometer and speedo, you still denied it. Hilarious. :thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Your speedometer says otherwise. Nice try.

Sure, they're exclusive, but they're also the best base for a vintage rolex project that we have. Well worth the money if you have a bit more to finish them off.

Crown Guards ... follow By-Tor's article.

That's what bugs me about the TAG advert. Tiger Woods is wearing the Link Chrono and expects us to believe that his eyeball-searing drives won't hurt it? thonk! "Hello, TAG Heuer? I just broke another ..."

I doubt chronographs fall into this category of sturdiness.

Yeah, here it means 5s and 7s. People buy 3-series to aspire to be seen as someone who owns a 5-series. Yup, a US-magazine.
