Pugwash

128MB? That's two albums at average quality. Convergence is not usually a good idea, and I think these glasses prove the point. If one thing goes wrong, you're left with nothing. Would you wear them if they didn't play music? How do you feel about balancing the battery on your nose? Etc.

... apart from all the problems you list afterwards. Doesn't sound that fine to me.

Dude, you look like a chick ...

That's excellent ... for you. It's fairly obvious this was not the norm, however.

That has been possibly the most succesful Troll poster I've seen. He pops in, posts a pic, laughs at us and is never seen again. 10 posts, read them in his profile.

You didn't. Verbal did.

We'll know when we get there. Seriously, it's a discussion about the aspire crazy sale[1]. If that's not discussion-worthy, what are we here for? [1] See? In the interest of unbiased discussion, I didn't even call it the baitandswitchspire crazy bake sale.

Lock this one, where there is actual discourse? I don't get it. There are worse threads than this one, believe me. Now, if I were to keep to RWG form, I should accuse you of being a paid Asspire shill, but I know that's silly and not even that amusing, so I won't. Rather than lock a thread, it's much easier to just not reply ...

I use the free webspace provided by my ISP. That way, I get to put the images up at the quality I prefer as opposed to what ImageRuin choose. Hey, I pride myself on my pics; I need to be able to do this. allyoucanupload.com took my 58K JPEG and converted it to a 18K JPEG. If you need high quality, use someone that doesn't recompress your pictures. Left: original, Right: Allyoucanwibble Picture selected as a hommage to the OP's Avatar. You can see clear artifacting round the high-contrast area where the trees meet the sky, and the top of the tower.

Switch forums. I read all three and am active on them all, but I gave up on trying to read all posts here as threads have a tendancy to be hijacked by old hands with in-jokes and running themes, which is inevitable on a forum with this many people that have lived together on other forums, but can get annoying if you're looking for a signal-to-noise ratio that's more watches, less banter. Someone once described this forum as stepping off a pavement into busy traffic. That's an excellent analogy in my books. One problem I had was when I subscribed to a thread that I thought would be useful, the moment the regulars got on it, I had to unsub as email notifications that someone called someone else whatever were polluting my inbox. Don't get me wrong, I like it here, and am guilty of the banter myself from time to time, in spite of my being a newbie, but I can't treat this as the forum I live on. I'm not going to hijack this thread as a promote-your-fave, so don't ask me about other forums, not even by PM. That is ungentlemanly.

But you don't stand behind your advertised price of $79 for an IWC Aquatimer. ps. Yes, sell me the watch at the advertised price and I will shut up ... (edit to add PS)

ETA World is Ken's agent, no? I mean I don't follow this much as I don't rate the 187 at all, so forgive me if you're just yanking the chains of n00bs like myself.

It's both. False advertising is the bait.

Yup, in first time on IE. Damn.

"Sorry, the link that brought you to this page seems to be out of date or broken." If this turns out to be an IE/Firefox thing, I'm going to be a little disappointed.

I presume it depends on which card you use? Anyway, the false prices this morning put me off completely. Baitandswitchspire Crazy Bake Sale.

Nope, Thailand.

The $175 buys me a hell of a lot more than fixing the beatrate. It gets my 7750 serviced. You could say that the $175 buys me peace of mind. Oh, and I do realise Asspire is selling the GST for $199, but ... well, you know.

...and a lot of people who can't login.

Speaking with The Zigmeister, he said the advice I recieved to move the two things closer together was flawed. Only the inner lever should be moved. The outer one should never be moved unless you have a machine to measure it. Because I took the advice without qualifying it, my watch now needs work to fix what I did. This essentially forced my hand and convinced me a service was the right course of action.

Ones that don't look like they're written by someone hoping for a free watch? For $79, I'd have bought the IWC Aquatimer, but then he 'fixed' the price.

And you call that fair?

It's automatic. It has a second-hand at 9.

Then stop reading. Or, just hijack it and change it towards a commentary on Denmark or something.
