It's silly unless you have a genuine dial, hands and of course case. In other words, if you have a Speedmaster with a broken movement, it's a great idea.

Pretty much. I'll say it again next year, too. It'll be crap then.

Happy Birthday, mate! Let's hope you have many, many more. And cake. You always need cake.

It's gen ETA, but not Gen Rolex.

This is why they won. MP3 players were geek toys until the iPod made them consumer gadgets.

I have the software (eTimer demo) running on my Mac under Crossover. As soon as I've got it set up and working, I'll be doing a tutorial on how to use it.

That explains why it now says IPBoard instead if RWG in the top left.

I doubt you'll find anyone that's used both enough to call it. Those who are truly platform-ambivalent are playing with much more expensive kit than two prosumer SLRs. Me, I chose the Canon because I preferred the interface and it had less noise at higher ISO according to reviews. Once you buy into a side, you pretty much stay there because you get locked into your lenses. I shoot with the EOS400D. I use it for Macro using the stock lens and a reverser ring. I'm very happy with it.

You should know me well enough to know that I think that's utter rubbish.

No, that's changing the timing, not the beat. Beat-rate setting requires more than just making sure it keeps good time.

I've been away. Consider me a noob. Which DSSD is the best? Who stocks it? What prices are good? It's ridiculously easy to take your eye off the ball for a month or two and become a noob again. Everyone should try it sometime to get a perspective on how tricky it can be for noobs.

I've been away and am sympathising with a n00bs complwete lack if direction on which version/name is the best. So, PT's Supreme isn't as good as Eurotime's v5? It's amazing how easy it is to take your eye off the ball for a month or two and everything changes. I want a DSSD, but I wouldn't know where to start to buy a good one.

It sure should, but no-one ever visits there.

Damn. I opened this thread hoping to see how to change the beat as my Portuguese Chrono needs it badly. Looks like I'll have to figure it out and write a tutorial.

I'm thinking of getting one of these. Is it the best version out there?

When they replicate the 2894 movement, it opens the door to a whole lot of reps.

How much do you think is in your average can of fizzy pop?

You can even get it AR coated. There's a guy that does that somewhere.

iirc, the rep caseback fits.

I can't wait to see it. Take good photos!

For HDRs, there's no point in RAW - multiple JPEGs win every time. For the other stuff, I now shoot raw (I didn't used to) so I don't need to worry about white balance. Also, I love Adobe's raw processor. But yes, I can see a day where I just shoot JPEGs again. I'm not that bothered about RAW that I'd rush to replace my camera if the raw setting broke..

You don't get a Mac just to run Windows on it. The point is to get the Mac build quality and user-experience (Mac OS X and all the apps) yet still be able to work with the Windows-only apps. If that doesn't appeal to you, that's fine. 90% of people feel the same way.

If you're doing your own raw conversions, isn't that magic removed from the equation? The only other differences, as far as I can tell is that you get CaptureOne with the Leica and C1 can't read LX3 files. Oh, and the menus are different. Ah, and it has that Red Dot tax.

It's a popular camera.

Mrs Pugwash likes it, too. Hurry up and release it!
