I want to launch a new brand, young, not very expensive, using swiss eta, you can change parts to customise your watch, the name has to be short and has to refer to what I have said concerning the model. I was thinking of something ending by "eo". I want your opinons. If you had to launch a brand, what name would you choose???
Best regards

ONE... Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggetsTWO.... I was checking out at the local K-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.
THREE.... A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."
FOUR.... I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."
FIVE.... Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.
SIX.... I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
SEVEN.... My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
EIGHT.... Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
NINE.... A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine, the mother says, "I just gave him some ant killer..." Dispatcher: "Rush him in to emergency!"
Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.

Hasn't left my wrist since I got it...
Hi ubi!
Wearing my silver one these days with solid case back
This one is at the moment my favorite of the 3 these days:
Did you notice the crooked bezel screw incidentally on all newer mbw AP ROs jumbo??
Its the upper left screw from the "12"...
Its funny that always this screw seemed to be glued aslope
Have a nice day/weekend folks

@maxse
...forget about it dude
If jeweler, butcher or not...
Hey, aint that like the biggest proof for his own "inferiority complex"
not asking you somethin like "nice watch, is it a gen?" but rather
devaluating your reputation by spreading the rumour and calling you out
that your watch aint gen before he could even catch a glimpse of it??
Dont give a s**t about peoples like that!
LOL Stephane... i always knew that:
...don't tell me you can spot a fake watch from that distance when you can't even spot my little coc*[/quote]
Sorry i just couldnt hold backGeorge

Regarding your Overseas however... the 42mm version is already out..
Your right but i meant the jumbo version of the older style VC Overseas
what came out first... dont have exact pic (i got the cataloge with ref.nr. at home)
but its this exact model just bigger:
This more info i found:
"...For a company that produces 12,000 watches per year, the Overseas is available
in quite a few different varieties. There are four different sizes, at least 5 different dials,
and each can be had in 18k yellow gold or stainless steel. There is a woman's size at 30mm,
a boy's size at 34mm, a full-size at 37mm, and a chronograph at 40mm.
Quartz movements are available on everything except the chronograph.
Dials are available in a slate blue, white, salmon, and black.
There are choices of stick markers or large arabic numerals.
There are diamond bezels available for the women's watches."
Concerning the Gentas designed watches and a decent rep of the
AP RO jumbo (and non jumbo reg size) opinions may vary...
IMO the (mbw) RO jumbo which is TW made is the best regarding
quality of finish and material... and a beauty by the finish of the dial,
the exact AP-PA clasp. There are few flaws but seen "as a whole" this
model still stands out compared to others...
Besides of the so called mbw ap ro jumbo i owned a CH version of it
and still have a reg sized TW best 38mm case (display caseback, saphire)
of the jumbo which is out of production and feels much better than the
CH version... Even the sharp and crisp engraved "Royal Oak" on the
backside of my newer version of the mbw jumbo is still much more
better than the engravings on other versions. The Dial Logo "AP"
is easily swapped with a replacement or gen one... color of
gold-screws doesnt bother me that much at the moment.
K these are the small bugs... as Rlx-Fanatics philosophize about the
color of the little red letters on a TW best YM rolesium...
But if you like or love? the style of the RO and your lookin for
a daily beater the mbw/tw made versions are the way to go
It doesnt even bother me that much that the "clous de paris"
texture aint centered at the same place where the hole for the
markers stands at the gen... but the "waved" design of the dial
looks and glistens just fine to me... even more than on the gen.
Another thing that seems very funny to me is that on many of
the mbw RO jumbos the upper left bezel screw (from the 12)
is crooked!! And i dont mean the attempts of some members
to swap them.. but out of the box
My first (blue one) came crooked too and i sent it back for
a replacement... one of the 3 is still crooked but im too
buzy doing somethin about this rite now. Its not that much
crooked... im speakin of my silver/white one.
Sorry for too much OT talk...
Regards
George

Hi George...
Not wanting to hijack Euno's thread, I had better start one of my own on this one...
Thats ok...
Im not wondering that much hearing this names of 3 very fine timepieces
and by design "3 pieces of art" in one thread.
Doesnt wanna hijack either... the look of the nautilus somehow amazes me too
Both children of Mr. Genta and the Overseas is classy as well.
I still have the 38mm Version of the Overseas... waitin till they produce
a rep of the "jumbo" version which is also 40mm in case diameter.
Regarding my other posts... i have to say that sometimes i have
a very special humour... but i dont wanna offend anyway
I remeber the thread concerning the "wrist-size"...
Anyway... wear it well!
George

Heh... I've got the Royal Oak Jumbo... Nauti Jumbo on the way... Looks like I'll have to get the new Overseas to keep up with you guys!
Congrats on your fine watch-deal
Looks like you got one of the newer models with SS-Back?
Could you post a shot of the back... just want to compare the serials etc. ...
No Face-Shot either??
Best Regards and welcome back to the "Oak-Club"
...lol i see you did the same "bracelet-mod" like i posted on my ROs

I'm growing weary and wary with all the problems associated with buying reps lately: how to make payments, customs crackdowns, inexplicably obvious flaws, misrepresentations, quality control, and the general anxiety about buying illegal goods. So, I just pulled the trigger on a BNIB Gen Planet Ocean, Ref. 2900.50.91. Paid an outstanding price=$1900.00USD, delivered. Arrives by Friday.
Yeah, yeah, I know this is a Rep world, and I could have gotten seven "ultimate reps", but did I do good? Anyone understand and share my frustrations with reps?
Congrats!
This is definitely a keeper...
Growing also in value next years.
I consider pulling the trigger myself
on a PO or SMP
Pls post some pics keep us
informed about differences to rep.

...i wore both of them, the PO 42mm and 45mm at my AD and the Seamaster.
First i liked the design of the PO most but the watch looked a little bit funny
on my wrist... seems the case is too thick for me.
I like the Seamaster and the "waves" design of the dial a lot
Told my AD to give me a call if he gets the 40mm version.
Nice casual watch...
George

...Weve been together now for a long time

Here comes my Sweetheart wearing a 14K WG Heart/Swarowski crystals...
Life is (really) good
George
I LOVE YOU!!!

Congrats tester
nice one you picked in mbk...
Price is absolutely ok.
I was considering buyin the same one too.
Its an nice daily beater, sporty with a suit and
suitable with jeans too.
The gen is also one of the watches with
a good proportion of price and value.
At the moment im too much occupied
with different things...
The gen is also available in a 40mm version
and co-axial movement.
Maybe ill prefer the Omega Seamaster
one day as my daily beater or maybe
ill go for a black sub... i dunno.
Wear it well

Half the gens I see are warn by people who don't dress in an expensive looking way.
...i think this "phemomenon" strongly depends on where you live on the planet.
This country-saying might work maybe in some places in US... nevertheless it also depends on
the occupation somebody is involved in on what he/she wears or not.
Cultural background also plays a major role.
In Europe for ex. somethin like "casual-friday" phenomenon like in west coast US or other
places would be somethin you couldnt hardly adopt cause people would laugh at that.
There are too many people that would say "we wanna be dressed pretty all the week"...
Just take a look were fashion, dresses, suits, shoes etc. and the latest styles come from.
I saw things on vacation in US, that are absolutely ok by common taste over there
but you just couldnt wear most of some clothes/combinations over here cause everybody
would be staring at you...
Just my thoughts... George

A guy i know had same probs...
I wrote you somethin before about this issue and about "my way" solving upcoming

Wow.. now RWG is even better than a Tourist guide..
Yep!
...you guys at RWG rule!!
Big shout out to the german members
we should definitely do more guides for tourists on german cities...
Especialy places like Kopejsk are gorgeous!
George
-
Any help would be much appreciated....
Hi V...
Yup Marco, Thor and others already mentioned the "hard" facts...
Nevertheless dont forget Cologne is something like the GAY-CAPITAL of germany
Quite similar and comparable to cities like San Francisco - US or Kopejsk - Russia...
So have fun... protect yourself and be aware of public toilets!
(Especially when George Michael walks around)

Interesting thread... although i read prefer reading this issue somehow activates me.
Its hard to put decisions that somehow come like strokes in your life
into theory and explain why sometimes big changes happen.
Maybe concerning your occupation you could say in a simple way
either you got money or you got time... but what to do with all "free" time
when you got no money=opportunities in life?
For myself i somehow lost fear since `99 when i first started
workin self-employed and i really got many headeaches in the beginnig
thinkin about what will be if all fails.
I first started after school (diploma for secondary/matriculation) learning the
profession of a toolmaker... which was no "big deal" to decide cause in the town
i lived in germany were the european headquarters of a car company owned by
general motors (Opel).
[To the people not used to this system: In Germany you can learn a profession/job
without beeing semi-skilled by your employer, you can learn a job and after a period
(sometimes 3 years) you can complete this "apprenticeship" by passing or failing the
exam. With the certificate of your job you can highly improve the chances of beeing
hired by somebody... in other countries they dont know this system of combined study
and handcraftship/work completed with an exam.]
After havin passed as a Toolmaker it really [censored] me off workin on a chain even though
i did well with the exams
i didnt spent 12 months workin and screwin just buffersunder the car bodies passing by all day over my head... that was the time i asked
myself why did i got all screwed up rasping and drilling metal and learning all kinds of
milling cutter CNC stuff without havin now the opportunity to execute my skills?
I wasnt alone... i was told to be patient and to wait.
I could see many of my former trainees (now together with me on this chain)
gettin other, better jobs after some months just because they became "friends"
with some labor-union guys to whom they did suck their di*ks on the toilet before.
To keep it short i then had several differences with my departement manager...
(no
i definitely didnt do the toilet-thing) and left the company...At this time i wanted to to somethin else... i first wanted to study engineering
at Technical University but then decided to apply for a job/apprenticeship in
the "commercial domain" (like bank or insurance...)
I simply felt like switching the "blue collar" to "white collar"
leaving the boiler suite...
It then took another 3 years and i passed off the exam insurance broker/salesman...
And believe me, i really was bypassing the toilets these 3 years
During this time i discovered my pleasure havin a job workin together with all
kinds of people rather than carrying dusty old files through the office
or lickin the postage stamps... This was back in 99 when i finished and decided
to work self-employed in insurance business rather than beeing someones
dust catcher in the office.
It wasnt easy at all at the begining... from 99 to know i separated a few times
from "partners" that tried to shortchange myself or that wasnt payin off commissions
for contracts i made... i dont wanna deepen that financial issue too much.
I even went to the labour court with my last Partner in 2001...
(No i wasnt willing to do the toilet-thing)
After all i found a Partner in 2003 and a Company givin me the
chance ridin my business on a really equitable basis...
I must really say and underline that after all (since 99) what drives
and gave me the power to endure wasnt at all the money...
Although i really passed some hard times financially and physically
(remember the toilets
) i loved and still love to be my own "boss" and i amreally thankful in having a job, where we do have all kinds of people
as clients and i really can say i did met some of the most interesting
people in my life beeing invited to our customers homes.
Not to mention all the times where we could help the people
because of fire, robbery or somethin else that would have given most
of the claimants, private persons or businessmen, financially the "final shot".
I really dont wanna euphemize but i wouldnt even swap my occupation
with a better paid assignment as company employee inside a "closed" office...
Most of this mealy persons look like natives of an industrial chicken farm
At this time we moved with our office to another town, ill also have to manage
these days to get another apartment nearby with my girlfriend (shes hot!)
I just can say, if you feel and it comes from the inside of you
that you should somehow change your life... the condition ...the occupation
...the location you live in because you fell youre life is becoming dull and grey... DO IT!!
Its definitely worth concerning these decisions to follow youre heart even
if you first fail... attempt the best you can and be persistent cause this is youre own way...
Follow youre own track and believe in yourself its the only track you got!
I wish you all the luck you need on your tracks...
Regards George
(p.s. avoid the toilets
) -
I now believe the seller knows that this is a fake...
i suppose the same
its pretty obvious the dealerknows what this biz is about...
shame on the bay
and sorry to the unfortunate buyerI just ask myself when will the buyer recognize
what he has been into
But isnt there a way especially for purchases on ebay
to get the charge back (paypall etc.) if youre not gettin
what the dealer supposed to sell ??
What nice happened to you today or lately ?
