  1. Truth Justice and the American Way of Life oh, that was superman
  2. googled crazy monitor setup you can barely see but i changed the middle monitor to an RWG screen shot
  3. got this photo of robbieG's office setup off the internet we could do a cruise - cheap, and bring families so they have somthing to do
  4. 5 total, at least 3 left us high and dry and did not attend the 5th was new only had 4 watches, and i guess we had tthe record for the most GENS!!!!!\ we met at a high end bar and grill on the intercoastal in east broward it was freaking 50 degrees out freezing
  5. there was a decision by all to not photo us and keep everyone anonymous however, we all had a blast, my wife got really [censored] at me cause i told her it was a 2-4 event and she called me at 5:30 and was like where are you - the reason being is were having a party for my mom tomorrow and the superbowl, and i was supposed to be home helping to clean the house so, i was kind of leaving her high and dry a bit. didn't get home till 6, live 25 minutes away, for a lunch that started at 2] think we were having a good time?
  6. blast had by all - i always find these get together fun - check out the sea of watches, and somehow my graham didn't make the photo, it was sitting by my case oh, and officially i like Robbie's UN Big Date, looks much cooler in person
  7. i got the cam and trypod, we'll get great shots i carefully packed all my pieces twill be cool
  8. its either 226 A or 228 A they have a backroom, usually a kid in his 20's hanging out side on the sidewalk making sure people aren't stealing stuff. they have a great back room, great prices, medium to large bags for under 50 bucks. Usually they won't let you in the backroom, they will asy ou want you want and they will go get it. I fight withhim everytime but eventually he takes me back. This particular shop has a small wall that helps hide the door that is hidden at the back of the stoore so, if you can see straight back, its the other place. watches - forget about ti purses, you can find Great deals as opposed to whats aavail for mail order, i am assuing because of hte mail costs. i have bought at least a dozen bags there, for the most part they have held up really well and proven very good no matter what tsore you hit, they will have a few fake bags, ask them for the good stuff, they will pull it out
  9. i've been thinking about getting into custom pen making, i need a hobby without physical exertion and i want away from computers and my grandfather hobbied woodworking, so i want to get in touch with my history and family. I was trying to find a good forum to start reading up finding out where to start - and partly inspired by all the folks here who have gotten into strap making and watch them go from eh, to getting pretty damn good Thanks
  10. no, first they would cost more second, they would die real quick being open to the Air but the balance wheel moves which i think is likley to make it fall apart sos, i'm careful
  11. found some good photos http://shinewatch.cn/goods_detail.php?goodsIdx=715
  12. its actually, ok, we just realized were not talking the same language, me personally, i'm not losing any sleep over it, i'm sure he isn't either, i think we have an agreement to disagree. its part of the whole typing as a medium instead of speaking face to face. - Robbie - i usually only use photoshop to cut out dust and square off he photo with cloning. frankly, its not till i started using CS3 and 4 that the new auto stuff really made a difference. on the macro shots, i used to get much better photos with my canon point and shoot. the DSLR doesn't lend itself well, - that is until i read pug's tutorial on reversing rings, but i don't have one handy the one big thing that i love about the DSLR, is when i zoom to 1:1 there is little to no noise. on my point and shoot there was tons of noise, even with the lightbox - i compensated by using free transform to shrink the photo instead of a straight photo change function, that got around the noise. What i have noticed though in my latest batch of photos - i'm using 2 different light sources, and they have different light spectrum and therefor my white balance is off no matter what, but amazingly photoshop somehow auto corrects it. then the question is, are you going for art, or an accurate digital representation of what you see with your eye (assuming your monitor is properly calibrated, which mine isn't) anyway, its tuff, i think the photos look better when the colors aren't perfect its a choice and i make it differently every time
  13. i'd get the 45mm the day it came out
  14. never seen anything like the phenom
  15. this looks cool - but, the seconds at 6 i think is totally wrong from the photos i can find. would make a good super rep
  16. over $500!!! wow, maybe it would be cool in 46mm, but i had the pvd version before, i dunno, IWC's are so plain to me. I love the photos, but, i have never tried one on that i would wear. Mostly tried on gens i've really tried to like them i really have
  17. Wow - well, since we had this discussion out in public without PM then i'm just going to say my peace. The medium of forums and emails is clearly not good for understanding nuance and reaction. I'm not interested in proving ANYTHING to you frankly. You and i are on different planets and probably not ment to be friends Luckily its a large forum. The fact that you could compare a confidential email - where i offered to help you at my own expense and time to a comment about white balance in a photo that was published on the forum is Shocking. The fact that you are insulted by my comments on your UN thread to me is Shocking. i think you are extremely over sensitive, i don't care if your world i'm being cowardly. Frankly, i'm the one being straight forward and honest, and in all our discussions you never mentioned you were upset about my comments in your UN thread, clearly you were. cowardly is to not mention it. If your not comfortable with people commenting on your photos, i wouldn't post them. You don't have to think i need a benefit of any doubt about what "drugs" i'm on. I made a simple comment about the white balance in your photo - frankly THE biggest issue of any photos taken on the forum - even off the forum - JOsh's white balance has been off lately too especially on the Frank Mueller. Its not an insult, its a statement of fact. I think you take great photos - i think i have stated that publicly and privately - for whatever reason you think i'm blowing smoke up your ass in 1 direction and knocking you down in the other would be to completely misinterpret my comments. i'm sorry that you took general discussion of photo tactics as insulting - and i'm sorry that you were personally insulted that i took a photo you posted and ran it through 1 photoshop filter to post the difference. Again, i thought it was a great photo, i was showing how photoshop - NOT ME, photoshop can color correct. i'm not threatened by you at all. i always encourage folks from the first blurry photos to advanced technics to continue to work to improve. I work to improve my photos all the time and there is ALWAYS something to improve with mine. Frankly, i welcome comments so i can learn. sometimes i learn, sometimes i have made a conscious decision and have a different opinion than the poster. But, i never get threatened or feel personally attacked because of comments on the photos. again, i never ment to insult you, just tried to offer comments on using some software that i know you weren't using. all comments were positive. and most were not even directed at your photos, just generic camera talk in the UN thread again, i apologize for using your photo in this thread, i mistook our conversations to think i understood you and we had established a relationship - and didn't think you would think anything of it. - clearly my mistake and bad assumption. i don't appreciate your comments in the last post- i don't appreciate the fact that if you had a problem with my comments in either thread you couldn't send a simple PM and ask me not to make comments or that you would appreciate if i didn't. it is clear that were just not compatible. Like i said, forum is a big place. i wish you the best of luck in your future photo endeavors.
  18. totally - we've done this before, teh waitresses, wont have any idea what they are looking at- last time they asked if we were watch dealers, we told them no collectors if anything they will flock to Jfreeman - if they have sunglasses, otherwise the bling might be to blinding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. this is a simple project, i need this pipe http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id...003c42915b984ea increased from 5 input rss feeds to 10, and a second one to 20 probably less than 10 minutes of work for someone familiar with it. let me know, will pay paypal - based upon time spent pm me please
  20. robbie is the only one with value
  21. i have wanted to start the anti thread for years, but i was chicken - glad Ken finally got the balls to do the right thing
  22. well, to be honest, i thought about trying to get my old boss to let me use the yacht - but, i think were better off where people can come and go but maybe one day - 62ft yacht on the intercoastal, table for 8 on the back - good way to enjoy a nice lunch
  23. i'm totally amazed that i have really moved from loving some of the watches to loving the watch straps leather can be intoxicating
