Pugwash

A lid is not a torus. A lid has ... um, a huge slug of metal across the top to stop the jam coming out. It's the top that pushes the edges out.

Can you call a newborn baby a stranger?

... and for just $4000, you can get a real PAM104. (edit for euro/dollar)

Wait ... $700 for a service? SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!!! Isn't it just a regular 21j Asian?

By the way, are you sure that it centres on the point in the middle of the torus? That's not the centre of mass. The centre of mass is further out.

I'll give you an observable watch-related proof. If you get a cold SS watch from your watch box, it's loose. Wait for it to warm up, it's not as loose. Quid Est Demonstrandum.

Out of all my watches, I own one ETA: The rest are Asian.

I approve!

If you're short of cash, you can stick with the Cybershot you're using and sort out your lighting first.

Ah, the Seamaster GMT in blue. I have the Asian one, and when it's available once more, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Read By-Tor's Omega Guide, by the way. It's amazing. The Swiss is as far as I know identical apart from the movement.

Why, By-Tor! Fancy meeting you here. Trusty has 19 $108 watches in the Seamaster section and a handful at $228. Dazza! How goes the Hat business?

That narrows it down ...

I've been looking for a 7750 (as opposed to 7753) 12-9-6 layout white-faced standard-looking Navitimer with an Asian 7750@28 for a while. If anyone sees one, give me a shout.

Please, don't tell me you actually believe the whole Deliberate Mistake billiards. I had you down as fairly smart.

You know, I can live with that

...which is how an Aussie would not spot the Zee/Zed issue.

See? I get that. That's not what most MBW buyers do though.

True, but come on, it's still just a $1000 rep. Honestly, I get the whole fun thing, but for a grand, you can get some damned nice genuines.

Your differentials may be excellent, but your poetry isn't. Rhyme one (da DA da da da da da da) Rhyme one (da DA da da da da da da) Rhyme two (da DA da da da) Rhyme two (da DA da da da) Rhyme one (da DA da da da da da da) As long as they're spelt and pronounced right, sure.

Apart from Zed doesn't rhyme with Three, apart from in the colonies, what?

Grrr.....

I have two watches from Precious Time: both are amazing. You cannot go wrong with him. He's a decent, honest and trustworthy dealer. Try This post as an example of what he sells.

I'll check when I get home, but I got it from Watcher71 for a very good price. I swapped out the fauxadile red strap and put on a cheap 10 quid black leather strap on it and transformed it onto that stylish beauty.

Asian Auto, does the job magnificently.
