Pugwash

When I'm reading a post and someone has an image embedded (for instance a wide sig like Ubi's) that's wider than my screen, I can no longer scroll horizontally. The only way to read the whole post is to use a larger monitor.

I wear reps to fool myself. In this respect, I like to fix any 'errors' I can see.

I would take one of these two. The Black Monster on the NATO makes me want to climb stuff, do something adventurous. or be extreme. Don't wear it if you're a passive tourist.

Most people here will tell you that Perfect Clones are fast and efficient and sell the good stuff. I'd have no qualms about ordering a watch or three from them.

Ultra-slim MacBook to be released on the 9th?

Some reps are there to be worn to death and others are to be serviced and cared-for. I can't imagine paying for some of mine to be serviced yet others seem to obviously deserve meticulous treatment.

Rob, amazing work. Randy is right to trust you.

Bated breath ...

As I down a Chateauneuf du Pape, I will wish all of RWG a happy new year! (hic!)

I believe the outcome is the 2nd Jan.

As is anyone using the term Besserwisser. ps. Yes, I had to look it up: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=besserwisser

Shut it, n00b. kidding.

Yes, but Miami Vice were undercover cops and they were using confiscated drug-dealer toys, hence the suits, cars, etc. It was the entire premise of the show.

It's a fairly straight-forward PHP script. The clever bit is the webserver configuration that makes the forum script think it's a picture and the headers that make it uncacheable, forcing a reload every time.

Yay! Nice work, I approve.

It's a Pugwash term for TTK's Sub. TTK uses it with approval, of course.

This famous post has been torn apart by better men than me. If you're going to read this post, I would do so knowing that it's the start of the debate and not the end.

Yup, it's an ETA 2894. Here was the ceramic version of the 41mm available in white for mother's day.

Looking good ... but over $450? I think I'll let this one pass.

It was said in all seriousness. Some dealers say "Synthetic Sapphire" when they are using mineral glass. I am aware of the differences in synthetic sapphire and naturally occurring sapphire, and can confirm that naturally occurring sapphire is too cloudy to be used as a watch crystal. TTK is one of the few dealers that uses the term "Synthetic Sapphire" correctly, but hopefully the other dealers will eventually change their practice.

AKA. Popular. Seeing as the IWC Aquatimer Chrono is one of the few watches I've been considering getting in gen, I don't consider it 'boring' or 'safe' myself. It's an exciting and beautiful watch to some of us.

Rob, amazing craftsmanship, as usual. Now, do us all a favour and slap that bad boy on a $15 grey and black NATO strap. You know you want to. Come on, it has to be done.

Ok, nobody here is selling watches with non-ETA movements as ETA movements (apart from maybe Paulmart ). Forget that misapprehension right now. However, they're already calling mineral glass synthetic sapphire, so what's the problem? I suspect you're looking for a problem where there isn't one. You can buy watches here safe in the knowledge that if you pay for ETA, you get ETA. Just don't get hung up on the word "Swiss".

They are sent to Switzerland if they have Swiss Made stamped on them, unless they're used in reps. ETA movements with Swiss Made stamped on them are made with the intention of being finished in Switzerland. http://www.fhs.ch/en/swissm.php

I thought you posted 2894-based reps ... I could be wrong, though.
