  1. Sure, the car analogy works, as long as you think of cracking the crankcase as taking the back off. Oil changes are the equivalent of removing links on the bracelet: Anyone can do it if they have the right tools and a manual. Servicing the movement is the equivalent of removing the gearbox, fixing each gear with a diamond file, replacing the camshafts, doing the valve clearances, etc. You need tools, trainign and a lot of practive before you can get it right every time.
  2. It's going to be a terrible pun, isn't it.
  3. He remembered that his dream within a dream, much like that of Poe, ended with a parting. At midnight, the real world would come crashing down around his ears, and he'd already sold much of his soul, and those of his beloved family, to stop the clock from turning over. He knew he couldn't let it end. He couldn't return to that life. He remembered he had to feed the beast and say in this dreamstate another day. Stringing out another second for twenty-four more hours. It wasn't real, but it was better than what awaited his return.
  4. something something something adder.
  5. He never wronged me over a watch, but we've had our words. Why not? I'm not bashing Paul as much as standing up for those he's maligned who can't bash him for fear of being dragged down to his level. Basically, he's [censored] me off a few times and people here are way too willing to forgive and forget to the point that newcomers don't get the full picture as they don't see the history. I'm just a solitary voice who likes the corner-shop specialist dealers instead of the Tesco Maxi Super Hyper Market. I suppose I'm that annoying bloke outside the Wallmart with a plackard saying "save the little shops". You can ignore me if you want, I'm just one guy.
  6. Still, hyperbole never wins arguments. Put it in perspective.
  7. Wait, left feet? Never.
  8. I was right there with you until you apologised. You took part in a discussion that can only have polarised views. Never apologise for disagreeing with someone.
  9. Firstly, it's amusing. Come on, at least give me credit for being amusing. Secondly, his business practices stink and seem to be based on bribery, lying or insulting other dealers and he is pushing us towards the general walmartification of rep selling.
  10. Boy's 7th, Man's 5th.
  11. I have to learn about your dogs now? Your solution to the dangers of your owning potentially dangerous dogs is that I get educated? Thanks for that contribution. I don't like dogs. They strike me as annoying, needy and very demanding. However, I don't think we should go round killing them either. If owners took responsability for their dogs, fightybreed or laplickers, it would never come to this. It's a human problem and requires a human solution dealing with humans.
  12. PAULMART "This Account Has Been Suspended: we don't pay our bills so we can pass the savings on to you"
  13. They played against different opponents -or- The last game isn't finished yet
  14. T V The rest all have curves. Edit: I missed N! NT, as Overboosted said. Still, that stupidity shows I'm not just googling the answers.
  15. You said all that needed saying there. If your TV broke would you go in the back? If your car needed a service, would you do it yourself? Imagine a car only in miniature, with fine tools and some form of magnification needed, some training and a steady hand. If you reckon you could do it, try it on a cheap watch first, because I guarantee you will kill the first one you do, and maybe the second.
  16. A ring is hardly bottomless, to be honest, and it's not a container either.
  17. No, but the customs officers do. It's been commonplace since forever. Wearing watches was one of the most common methods of smuggling, as you normally have to pay huge tax on a fancy watch. If you wear a blinglex through international customs, you may well be asked for proof of purchase. If they start to examine it closely, the more astute of them may well spot it as a rep, but even more frightning is that if you go through customs with a fancy replica wristcock, you may well have to pay import duty as if it were genuine. It's worst when you go home from a foreign country, as they can do you for smuggling counterfeit goods and several other charges. If you're usually stopped going through customs, don't wear replicas. If you're on internal US flights, you should be safe.
  18. Like I said, it's 30
  19. That's wrong, by the way. It's 30.
  20. Importing a replica is illegal, even in the US. I thought this was common knowledge. Have I got it wrong, and are you actually legally allowed to conspire to smuggle counterfeit items? As for your paypal, that's nice for you. I'm not saying everyone will get humped, but we know it happened before. Is your rwg password only used on rwg?
  21. According to his PO, 12:59.
  22. That was quick! Yeah, I think I've got a Bob on the way. Black, padded, MoonWatch-bound.
  23. How to post photos It's all there.
