  1. It's bolder in the gen. I've done the swap on mine and it makes a difference.
  2. I've been wearing this since Thursday, so I'll probably choose something else this morning. Amazing I can use two-year old photos for this weekend's shots.
  3. Agree, agree, agree, but the price was never going to be less than the old one, was it.
  4. I'm warming to it. The more I see, the less I dislike. I don't like the text, but I could live with it. Who knows, at this rate, we'll be begging for reps of it in 6 months. ps. Yes, I like the new SD, in case I wasn't clear.
  5. If I post a post and 10 people read it, I get 10 views. If one person replies and the same 10 people read it, I get 20 views and 1 reply. If another person replies and the same 10 read it again, that's 2 replies and 30 views. Very easy to do, especially when it's an interesting thread with only two or three main contributors discussing often and 20-30 people waiting for an outcome. Post count isn't everything, but ratings are great.
  6. We had snow this morning up in Scotland. The Missus is dismayed it's melting, but we had bouncing-off-cars hailstones yesterday.
  7. I would like to know if that's a pusher to set the PR-meter or if it's got working Power Reserve. ps. looks like a Seagull ST18 to me.
  8. The GST doesn't need a date wheel swap or AR to be accurate, oddly enough. Gen GST straps do fit, by the way.
  9. Because organised crime syndicates would kneecap you if you try to compete with their Subs. Allegedly.
  10. Congratulations, Ken! I don't feel as lonely any more.
  11. This will get your credit card refused in places that accept signatures - you may also be invalidating your card. Seeing as most credit card fraud is cardholder-not-present fraud, it'll not stop any of that, either. Pin-and-Chip solves this anyway. Hooray for Pin-and-Chip. The best advice is to never let your card out of your sight.
  12. Mine is slightly off, but not terribly. Turning the pusher a tiny amount lines it up perfectly.
  13. I've ordered a steel bracelet from him, so yes.
  14. My review is linked in the IWC Guide.
  15. Openly? This info is only really available to members, remember. "Is this the same watch that's available from Silix for $125?" Like this?
  16. You can't research prices as we delete all the old sales when they're done.
  17. Got something to hide? Why should we ever stand by and watch some n00b get a new [censored] reamed simply because no-one stood up and spoke? If someone is offering items for sale at rip-off prices, tell us. The noobs are happier and the community is happier. The only person standing to lose out is the twunt that's trying to fleece unfortunates because it's still cheaper than bluefakes. If you're offering a watch for more than it sells for new, then yes, it's our business. It's our hobby and you're treating it like your playground. Yes, I know the forum rules basically say keep out of other peoples' trades, but I'd like to propose we revisit them in the case of scammers and rip-off artists.
  18. Was this ever a realistic proposal? Remember the polls to get a watch made? Nothing came of that.
  19. The right size? At a guess, it uses a 2894 and we don't have a rep of that.
  20. Sure, but at that point, we need to stop reporting eBay scams and globalreplica. No such thing as a free market, especially not here, and let's not forget the reason we have these forums: To stop being ripped off and to help others avoid being ripped off. I say crap on those threads. Call out the sellers. If it's a free market you want, crapping should be perfectly acceptable behaviour as the crappers are merely market forces. Free markets means no-one has anything to hide or hide behind.
  21. It's on my list ... but my wallet can't keep up. ps. My Father-in-Law has the SFSO for the moment. His Festina's battery ran out.
  22. I've seen it in the flesh, a real one. It's quite toe-curling.
