I think you've put ol' Pugwash in da mood.......

You owe me a new keyboard!!

Just think how many hours I saved you trawling the net this weekend then!! Perhaps the weekend calls for Australian winter chic instead....

Today I thought knee length white with short shorts.... For the weekend I'm thinking, probably not a good idea with a hangover....

I'm surprised you even have to ask with a replica car dealer on the forum.... ** NEW "BENTLEY FOR BREITLING" IN STOCK ** Enjoy the vision Engine is an automatic, self-winding.

Welcome!

I totally agree with the initial shock (what the fu*k is wrong with the TV?!?!) giving way to kind of liking it. There was never going to be a "satisfying" way to end it, because I didn't want it to end. And in a way, that's what they managed to do - have a non-ending, and I think folk are warming to it. I'm half-tempted to watch it back over again from season 1 now

r11co supporting Ferrari! Shock horror!

Yes, the family value is always worth far more than any intrinsic value. I bet there's a great history behind that watch!

I think I have something else as well. On the case, I don't think the IWC refers to International Watch Company Schaffhausen, I think it says "IWC Co" on the back, as in there's an extra 'c' in there. I think it belongs to the Illinois Watch Case Company, also of Elgin, Illinois. Hope this helps!!

Nice grab of them putting it on him! I saw him with a watch on the podium and didn't think they would drive around all afternoon with one on. Duh... Hopefully things are hotting up in terms of interest. The last umpteen years have been a total snorefest. Like the team orders idea on the watches....hehehe.... F1 definitely has a new pin-up boy, I mean - whisper it - he may even be more marketable than Nigel Mansell!

I have some useful information for you hopefully. Your movement is a grade 303 movement manufactured in 1925, size 12s, 7 jewels. (The 303 was made from 1903 to 1939.) It is common to have different movements in different cases, I think the value as a pocket watch comes from the movement, unless the case has intrinsic value as gold or outstanding workmanship. I don't believe it has a big dollar value, but perhaps more importantly as a family piece it should be possible to maintain it with little trouble in the years to come. I think even ofrei sell these movements. Nothing to do with this watch per se - but just out of general interest. IWC was founded by an American (International Watch Company). Elgin's name for many years was the "National Watch Company". Some of IWC's most famous pocket watch movements were called 'Elgins'. Don't know why, if someone does I'd be interested. I'm no expert on pocket watches by any means, but I believe all of the above is sound. Here is a picture of a 303 to compare: Thanks for showing us your wonderful watch!!

"425usd. pls email for return buyer price."

It was just a joke about the kind of French that gets taught in UK schools - things like "I want a room for the night with a wash basin" and "I have a pet rabbit. Her name is Fipsi." So unless you only talk about wash basins and rabbits, I wouldn't understand your show! Best of luck with it!

Na, my money is still on a pedal powered bat craft.

It's a sad tale. Dreams and sketches....will it bring Boeing and Airbus to their knees...? Engineered and crafted to perfection: Thousands of man hours, thousands of dollars: Will the Fledermaus fly? Will she soar to the skies, and dance amongst the tree tops? ...hmph.... ....huh....seems not.... Bugger.

That sounds like great news Stephane Is the station streamed online? As long as you keep the entire programme to (i) booking a hotel room with a wash basin, (ii) how many pet rabbits you own, I think I should have enough foreign language skills to follow the whole show!!

TeeJay are you tripping?!!

I think it's fair to point out that Bodo's "five months" runs from mid-February to mid-May.

The second hand gens are definitely worth looking at - no question some are excellent deals. But don't kid yourself that gens never break or have QC issues - and when they do, the price to service it is more than the cost of a rep. They're also only good deals because guys who bought them from an AD have had to swallow the $$ depreciation from new.

You can pick these up for $70 + shipping for sure: say $95 all in. It's not a top end rep, but then it's not a top end gen (but an interesting looking watch). Some of the other cartier reps are more impressive.

Yes, these are rip-off scams. $70 + delivery would be more like it. The thing is, the genuine watch is just quartz so it's at the cheap end of the rep scale. So some good news for you hopefully!
