Pugwash

I wore goggles while googling for a gaggle of giggles.

Let's revisit this thread, just so we can laugh at Slay. On release, November 9th, 2007, T-Mobile in Germany sold 10,000 on the first day. Let's see what yesterday's sales figures give us. I love it when people are so outrageously wrong. It makes me giggle.

Why live 50+KM from work? These days, there is so much that can be done from home that many people would benefit from home-working. Oh, and the guy that sits opposite me at work cycles about 20-30km to work every day.

Nice gesture.

Did you catch Etto's GMT on RG? His grandfather was given it in lieu of payment for a taxi fare. Etto thought it was worth getting fixed for his wife to wear, I thought it was worth $20k. http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=24729

Then let's not try to bother pronouncing anything correctly.

Holy crap. Is that titanium? I WANT IT.

Very much so. Last watch I bought for myself was ... damn, last Christmas? It was the Slevin.

No wrist shot yet, but this one just arrived from Precious Time:

http://www.diggervan.com/splitter.asp http://www.magnetstudios.co.uk/backline/mics.htm "Europe is home to the 'splitter van' - an economical but safe way to transport people and equipment in the same vehicle. A splitter van is basically a large cargo van with a large passenger compartment (usually seating six to eight people) separated by a fixed bulkhead from a rear equipment compartment." http://www.tourconcepts.com/usbands.htm

I have it on very good authority that most newish bands are using splitters instead of transits. Even medium-sized bands are using them instead of tour buses.

Would you live next door to a nuclear power plant? How about putting it near your kids' school? It's not just Greens, it's Not In My Back Yardies. Nuclear isn't a 100% safe solution and there's no way to adequately deal with the waste. It may just be our best solution, but it's so very, very far from ideal.

Yup, my patpong dirtjust (that lead me to find this place) had a SHITINERAND caseback.

Using today's exchange rate and today's high price of petrol, here in the UK, we pay $9.70/Gallon. ... and yes, that's a US Gallon. You guys don't know what expensive gas is.

I get the impression that the rest of the world isn't as hard hit as the US as our petrol ('gas' to you) was already over double what you paid. We never had the luxury you had so we're where you'll end up. It's smart cars and public transport from here on in. Get ready. This price rise opens the eyes of the world to just how much cheaper you had it in the US. I don't think Americans ever really understood what that disparity meant. We think a 1.6l is a big engine and a 1.1 or 1.3 is the norm. When we think of a huge, extravagant engine, we're thinking 2.6l v6 or, at the outside, an old rover 3.5l v8. Something like a 5l is the reserve of huge luxury cars, like a 5.3 jag or rolls. Even the famed european Countach was a 4l. The days of muscle cars as treats for your kids are over.

What you're saying makes no sense!

This Sunday, I wore this old one. I feel less guilty about favouring it over the 1680 now. ps. No, I wasn't in Paris, I just like that old pic.

Make them an offer.

Is that the Steinhart GMT Ocean 1? Looks like a Rolex GMT?

Out of interest, why send a PM instead of posting here? Also, the poster will know you sent him a PM, so why tell us you sent him one? By the way, from what I can gather, DSN's crystals may only fit DSN cases, but I'd love a definitive answer on that one.

Do you have a chronograph? If not, do what ever you like.

Nope, not victory. Honourable mention, though. For the June "Water" competition, I took a photo of ... no, wait. I took three photos and used two of them. Ok, let's try again. I took two photos of my UPO at different exposures, one lower than the other. These two photos were composited in photoshop as layers and blended together for the final result. If you look at the two originals, you should be able to see just how much effort is needed when you don't have decent studio lights. The watch was taken from the top photo and the background was taken from the bottom photo. Comments always appreciated.

When setting a 7750, the slack needs to be taken up backwards, so set the hands a couple of minutes past the actual time and rewind back to the exact time. This will mean the minute hand is dead-on instead of being slightly out.

This one for a few days now:
