Pugwash

ps. Yes, it's back.

Oh? No day wheel, no second hand. It just makes me suspicious.

This shop was closed by the time I got to it, but look at the shutters. Translation: "If this watch stops, call a doctor. This means you've not moved for 7 days."

The LOOK AT THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY scares me a little.

Looking good!

Yes, in the window of a Panerai AD, I saw a Panerai Quartz. It's a gen, too. Excuse the photos but my RAZR was the best camera I had on me. It's on the bottom left of this picture: Yes, it's a two-crowned case, quartz alarm travel desk-clock.

Confirmed. RWI is down from here as well.

Looks stopped to me ...

Fun!

Today, it's this orange/black combo:

Here's the only photo of Slay I could find, I'm afraid ...

$534 with a ETA 2893-2 and sapphire? Looks like a good price for a gen. I think the design is a little generic and uninspired though.

Go to the supermarket and pick up a storage box, some tape and greaseproof paper. Line the two sides and the top of the box (box opening facing you) with greaseproof paper and tape a sheet of A4 paper (or greaseproof if you're really on the cheap - you have a roll of it) to the top-back of the box, with it curving down and towards you. You may need to put it on a book or something if the shape of the box is odd. What a light box does is flood the object inside with flat, even light, so all that you need to do is point all the lights you can find at the outsides and light up the paper. If you don't have any lights, you can put it in a window, on the balcony or under your strip lighting. As long as the light inside the box is flat and even, it doesn't matter. Once the light is bouncing around inside, point your canera at the white paper and set the white balance. Then, put a watch in and snap away. It'll take some getting used to, but you should end up with results like this, especially if you have a polarising filter on the camera set to 90deg to the crystal.

Nope. It's a cookie thing.

I find the only push feature used religiously by the corporates I work with is the push email. The groupware is mostly handled as if it were a palm, without push calendar/contact syncing being used to the fullness of the patents.

Um ... iCal syncing over WebDAV. This can be done on a Mac laptop today over wifi or Edge/GSM. There is no reason the calendar on the iPhone won't do it out-of-the-box either. You can sync with shared MS Exchange calendars this way too. I don't think you actually understand what these 'corporate features' are. I run these services for corporate users on my Exchange servers with the Blackberry BES plugin, and I say that most of what the Blackberry can do (and 100% of what it's actually used for in the real world) can be done on an iPhone. It's my job to know this kind of stuff.

Ok, I'm going to try not to say bad things about you personally, because that isn't nice. However, your post is so full of errors, I simply have to correct you. 1: MS Exchange servers. This is what you use to manage blackberries. You run Blackberry Enterprise Server as an MS Exchange Server plugin. Having a Blackberry and all the business features means you uae an Exchange server. 2: I have a day job with meetings and everything. I also freelance in the evenings and weekends, working from home. If I didn't have home-office email/calendars with me when I was at work, this would be difficult to manage. 3: What blackberry features does the iPhone not have? It has push email, calendar syncing, contact management, etc. I can't think what features are missing that you think would be a deal breaker. The one feature that may end up getting the iPhone blocked in some corporate environments, ironically, is the camera. There are still several fortune 500 companies that have a global ban on phones with cameras. Even to the point that he says the iPhone is "Game Over" for the competitors?

Great review. For waterproofing, what about making a gasket to seal the watch? You can get very thin rubber foam (or even high-china paper, if need be) and cut it to the exact shape of the caseback and insert it between the caseback and the ceramic for a tight seal.

Sorry about that. I don't like being told what I am and am not by someone that doesn't know me. How about a change in tack? What Blackberry features will be missed in passing to the iPhone from a Blackberry? The only one I can see missing is push groupware calendaring, and I'm not even sure that actually works on the Blackberry.

I didn't realise you need a lot of MS Exchange Enterprise features to work behind a bar. (I, however, spend a lot of time in bars and run a MS Exchange Enterprise server or three)

That's nice. I have a Blackberry Pearl and would love to replace it with an iPhone.

Me and some friends did a week-long road-trip from Paris to western Ireland on the 2004 one of those. Here's a scene ... and here's the rather quick car:

Isn't that the one you need to pull the engine out to change the spark plugs? My first car? I don't know. I'll tell you if I ever buy one.

... and I disagree, along with most of the tech world. Like we've said, time will tell.
