Pugwash

Time for a new Motherboard, CPU and RAM. Today's software expects a lot more CPU.

Cutest rabbit evar!

I explained it to the missus one day as an escapement's job is to slow down the uncoiling of a spring. If it's not working well, it can't slow it down enough.

SeaGull ST19. That's a superb mechanical chrono.

I've not added any info to the Wiki yet, but I found out about it when I received an invite to contribute to it, so the creator is aware of my work. The dilemma is ... do we contribute our knowledge of the replica side to this resource or do we just take the info without giving anything back? I say share, but I'm not too sure how much.

Remember it? I sold it to you!

http://www.tractionink.com/watch_wiki/ "To timepiece collectors, the rise of Chinese manufacturing capability is both beneficial and frightening. The goal of this wiki is to present a balanced perspective on the global issues which result from the rise of the Chinese watchmaking industry and eventually become a comprehensive resource of Chinese timepiece and movement manufacturers, distributors, and products."

Oh, excellent! I'll get right on with it.

QC aside, get the crystal sent off to Chieftang or K2222 for some cleaning and AR. It'll change the entire watch.

I've been wearing this one.

Seriously? You thing we're half of the market for HBBs or SFSOs?

Sure, people will have tested their UPOs, but not yours. Every rep is different. With no uniform quality control, you never know what you'll get. ps.

I'd say Silix and PAM111 and of the two, Silix gives the better service. Oh, but cheap doesn't mean best, but if I'm looking for something at the more budget end, I usually look at Silix first.

Apart from those pesky chrono buttons ...

How many entries are we allowed? ... and does it have to be a gen gen panerai or will a hommage do?

Free ISPs? Sure, but not with SSL. If you want a system that other people can put money through, you need to stop what you're doing right now and learn. Don't risk other people's money on a cheapskate folly. Sorry to be harsh, but if you wonder why credit card fraud is so high, it's because some people cut corners on the basic infrastructure. I install and manage webservers for a living, including several for brands you will know so please listen to what I'm saying: There's a reason good hosting costs.

We are not the customers of the factories: They don't care what we think. Ask a distributor to talk to the factories as they are their customers.

Another thing ... when you receive a watch, it's just been punted around your local postal depot wearing nothing more than a Jiffy Bag. I'd take a few days to settle in after that, myself.

In some cases, if a watch sells really well, a worse version will follow it.

Sure, but not by the manufacturer that put up the compo.

Seconds at nine instead of at three?

Excellent tale
