  1. I know what you mean one of my vintages @ 34mm just to small a 1942 32mm bumper auto from the wifes collection but never gets worn when she pulls this off soooo well
  2. I tell you what Dluddly it would look a whole lot better with a black date wheel, i would love it if there was a raily with date, i really miss the date when i wear a watch with out.
  3. I would be happy if i asked a woman to get her breasts out but she just talked about them to me for a while. but this is a watch comon get em out!! BTW has Victoria got a raily,
  4. I Just hope for your sake it is not a Panerai you are after!!!!
  5. Good read mate, to point point out a couple of diferences between mine and yours. Your strap looks just fantastic, mine was a freebe from pix, (thanks mate) My lume lasts realy well, have a look in the morning after 6 hours sleep, i expect you will be able to tell the time. Your AR is top gear mine is minimal. My tube and crown feel just like the a gen, try a drop of oil and couple of weeks. Your pictures are ace!!!!!!!!! You will never get called out with this on, never in million years!!!!!!!!
  6. How about you buy it and never sett it to the right time, thatr way it is just nice to look at, after all these days it is just jewlery for men who like little engines on there wrists
  7. Seconded all in favor say aye
  8. Welcome, have you been in Jail for 25 then? And what is it that so torments you?
  9. peronaly i like wearing reps and can live with the small faults and i also know that gens oftern have the same faults and disrepancys, i thin k spending that much cash for one perfect rep is wrong when you can buy a used gen for just a bit more, i think reps should be cheep fun, i have been tempted to spend $500 even today on a rep, (a very good top class rep that i gould never attain the gen off in a long long time) but i have other prioritys right now. Life is for enjoying, do how you feel and do what makes you happy!
  10. Beating a dead horse From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Flogging a dead horse" redirects here. For the Sex Pistols album, see Flogging a Dead Horse. Look up beat a dead horse in Wiktionary, the free dictionary."Beating a dead horse" is an idiom that means a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed, mooted, or otherwise resolved, and any attempt to continue it is futile. In British English and Australian English, the phrase is usually expressed as "flogging a dead horse". The first recorded use of the expression with its modern meaning is by British politician and orator John Bright, referring to the Reform Bill of 1867, which called for more democratic representation in Parliament, and which Parliament was singularly apathetic about. Trying to rouse Parliament from its apathy on the issue, he said in a speech, would be like trying to flog a dead horse to make it pull a load. The Oxford English Dictionary cites the Globe, 1872, as the earliest verifiable use of flogging a dead horse
  11. Good mix of big and small there!
  12. Swiss made yes, should it not still be a bit futher away from the 6 though
  13. Wow look at the detail in that shot, wow. BTW the gen has no AR according to omega, but if ever one needed it this does just look at Sephane's photography
  14. There is one small fault i know on the dial, but if you dont know it you wont spot it,
  15. So no controversy, no fights, no bitching, lets talkabout and show some watches, the railmaster, I have used and abused this watch and taken it through things it should not have seen, takes a licking and keeps in ticking! The day i got it A gen for comparison hard working On SS simple and understated Goes well with a shirt loves the sun and great lume Lets see them Railmasters
  16. Just for Stephane But have been wearing this all day
  17. Not quite the right shaped pointer on the swans neck and the adjusting screw is too short to be of any use but a nice rep, tall canon pin, looks good and if you find one with the L Swiss L with the correct spacing from the 6 let us all know, go for it, from Andrew though!
  18. Thanks Lello!
  19. Proud as hell of this one with its scratched hands and new date wheel, has been on my wrist just about every day since a redid the bracelet the other saterday night too.
  20. These two look like the best options to me mate
  21. On the movement issue you need to check the position of the stem to the different movements, if on the 2892 (or seagull st18, as it is a cheeper altenative then the 2892) it is closer to the dial than the 4813 the stem on the movement will not line up with the tube on the case, you may be able to use a dial spacer to line it up again by then the hands may be too close to the dial when you refit them, but you will need new hands any way as the hand sizes are different from the 4813 and the 28xx movements, so it is not neccesarily the hight of the movement you need to look at but the distance of the stem from the dial.
  22. Hmmm me like toooo
  23. I am sure that if you go and search the omega area some one did a short review ov that same speedy a week or so ago.
  24. Gently push in the little dimpled pin to the left of the stem while pulling the crown outwards from the winding position. What is all that crap in there, Sand????
  25. Dito, i would also say that the non chrono PO looks better,
