Pugwash

I have nothing to give but ... posts, posts, posts and posts.

blood, toil, tears and sweat. One of the finest speechwriters of the ... um, ever, Sir Winston Churchill.

I love my "I am a Loser" icon Only 500 left before true PowerMax!

Have a great holiday, I owe you a beer.

I can't be the only non-admin with over 2000 posts, can I?

You want the Titanium. That's it.

Ok, this is me wibbling coming back from the pub after getting a skinfull. Don't worry, I'm not about to do a Gran and delete all my posts, but ... where was I? Yes, pub. Friend's leaving do. There I am, breaking in my Seiko non-rep, as one does, and the guy that's leaving mentions he heard I like watches and he says the kind of stuff he likes, like his missus bought him a Guess recently that's nice. I was polite as he likes it and to me that matters a lot. Then he mentions he heard I have a lot of watches and I mention they're mostly reps and he goes on about watches he likes saying he wants a Breitling and that he heard I have GOOD reps. needless to say, a good discussion about watches ensued and he mentions a three letter company he'd never heard of that he saw nice ones of. I said "IWC?" and his eyes lit up. The end of the conversation was a slightly over-eager "Send me photos" and we'll have another rephound in no time. This on top of Mrs Pugwash commenting on how she's spotting watches and how it's the thing men get into when they hit thirty-something makes me think our hobby is normal. Men hit a certain age, can't buy jewellery and discover watches. It's what we do. It's too common.

or $90 using the stupid system where a pair of (5x9) is $90

No, no, no. You should use more wit, like "I know you're not getting any as your sister must have the painters in. You know when she's on the rag because your dad's [censored] tastes funny, and your gran makes you brush your teeth before she gets her snog and feel-up." See how it works? Saying stuff like "Dude ..." can only be used when it's to evoke a certain feeling, as in "Dude, you look like a chick." Also, calling someone a virgin means you have to then contradict yourself when you then want to paint images of incest and shame. It's best to assume someone isn't a virgin and that they've done it with tramps for chips, as there's way more mileage in that route. Using the virgin 'insult' kinda locks you down one cul-de-sac.

Comments? Um ... it's difficult to tell if you're just winding us up or not, so I'll bite. No-one has ever posted a review of that watch to any of the replica forums, so it's safe to say that anyone who owns it is not admitting to it. However, given the trend for girls in Daytonas, I'm sure this sells to the right market.

Just cos I turned you down doesn't mean I'm a homophobe ...

If I were planning a trip to the moon, as one does, then I'd have to say without a doubt, I'd take the MoonWatch. For every day wear, I'd have to choose ... the MoonWatch, as it makes it look like I'm planning another trip to THE MOON!!! MoonWatch wins every time, hands down.

I'm sure that didn't come out as you intended it to. I believe the phrase you were looking for was "[censored], man!"

mmm ... bouncy.

Dealers sometimes get the photos from the factories. Drop-shippers almost exclusively get the photos from the factory.

Has the watch been opened recently, like for a relume or something? If the hands have been removed, they can sometimes slip afterwards. It's apparently a well-known problem with modded 2836s, and you may need to push the hand in further. This should be something that can be repaired if this is the case, even if it's by adding some sort of adhesive.

The clasp is the same on all IWC Titanium watches, from what I can see. Best strap engineering design in the business, by the way.

A true Scot would walk to Shug's Big Cinema (SBC). Melvin got it right with the pay for yourself thingy.

Indeed, but the Photoshop portion could have been done on a PC, if needed. Don't be put off, PC-Users!

Ok, I usually hear the French Conspiracy dragged out every time it looks like a US rider gets done for doping. As in "They only want French riders to win" sort of thing.

Go for the Link Chrono in blue.

For reference, here's the picture as it came off the camera:

If you imagine the log isn't moving, the ground moves 2 metres one way and the stone moves 2 metres the other.

Don't take "First, choose your dealer" too literally: It's a fallacy, in my opinion. What watch are you after?
