It doesn't matter if you add the comission before or after. They're percentages, therefore multiplicative.

Yes.

No. 11% of the sale was profit, but it was a 12.36% markup. Both answers are right. It's why people never use %profit unless they want to obfuscate their margins.

The alligator. Although I'm sure the gator would not be happy at being attacked by a croc. That's because you're using percentages wrongly.

I used the magic 'make watch picture better' filter. Ok, I used some noise reduction (Noise Ninja - different amounts in different areas), levels, unsharp mask on the dial, clone tool to remove spots ... the usual, basically.

Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that if there are hardly any sweeping quartz movements, and none that are remotely affordable, how on earth can anyone expect to see them crop up in cheap replicas. Tissot and TAG would have them first, and the fact they don't means they must be completely unfeasible, what with the price of stepper motors and the drain on batteries.

oops, floating-point error. $192,327.08

It is true that most of the replicas we get are powered by Sea-Gull. Try and spot them: http://jearle.free.fr/pugwash/

No problems with batteries on a clock. Now, if Steorn get their machine working in a watch, we can all have high-beat quartz!

You stare at guys legs? See, that's not my scene.

Looks damned near perfect to me. When will our dealers be getting it?

I don't get it. Is this a DUCK/DUCT argument? Cos you all know it's a silly argument where there is no right answer, right?

It's almost perfect, apart from they've printed Radiomir on the dial when it's obviously a Luminor. Is this the only flaw?

Yay! Excellent work! You've given it some thought which is always good. Interesting composition is always a bonus. To remove the dust (that's noise), turn the ISO setting to the lowest you can. Canon PowerShot S2, right? You're already on half a second exposure (according to the EXIF) so you can drop the ISO, increase the resolution and reduce the picture in Picasa or similar. For fun, I've given the middle picture a miracle bath in Photoshoppy goodness to show you how close you are:

Timberland? Me too!!!

Spare me! My eyes!

Assume Cherries, Bananas and Oranges. You know oranges as it's what's in the C&B box. C&B=Oranges C=Bananas B=Cherries. If it's not that, I don't understand.

I've heard sulphur is the solution you're looking for. H2S being the preferred method.

Name the genuine Quartz watches with sweeping hands. There's your answer. ps. a Spring Drive doesn't count. It's a $3000 precision movement from a company that sells decent Automatic movements for less than ETA.

Seriously overpriced. AVOID.

There is no site at swissexpert.com Try again. ps, it's most likely a SCAM.

not 18000 dead?

Dwarf Sub! It's Pluto's new watch. I bet it's a Quartz, which teh chyxx0rz seem not to care about too much.

Most replicas tick at 28k, like the genuines. However, on some gens, the sweep is just smoother. It is smoother just because. Better design on the Rollies? Better lube on the non-rollie 2836 gens? I don't know.
