Smite!

Assembly Line? Factory? You need to drastically change your perception of what a 'factory' is. Imagine 6-12 women in the backroom of a tower block apartment assembling watches from parts.

Never bought a Panerai from him, but have bought plenty of others.

Why is a Chinese Tourbillon not a genuine one?

Excellent post. Everyone should give it a go. I don't have a polariser for my new camera and I've not used my old one for a while. For me, it was more a tool that I used until I no longer needed it. Agreed. You really should dip your toes in Photoshop. It's true that you should do as much as physically possible in the lens and not the computer, but every studio-quality shot you'll see has been shopped. For instance, this one is actually two photographs composited. I took the same photos at three exposures and the background (the ice on the tray) is taken from the lower exposure. I didn't use anything from the higher one. While blending the two layers gave me the effect I was after, a hideous amount of shopping was required to get the image I wanted.

I use stuff that comes with the camera, but apparently there's some good Windows software for most SLRs.

Good god, no! I may, eventually, though.

Are we sure this isn't an

More examples:

I picked up this Fortis for well under $1000 on another forum. Tritium on the dial, ETA 2824 ... you can get polished ones too.

Oh yes, the bracelet revitalised this one. It's the version we were waiting for all along.

Still a fave.

Finally, this thread has been silent for 11 days. People have finally got the message!

Ah, the bug bites!

A friend of mine drove me round Paris in one. Very nippy, much fun. In a city, this sort of car is king (second to the ace of a decent motorbike/scooter, obviously).

Um ... it's ice. I'd go see a doctor, if I were you.
