Boom boom tsch!

I only said insignificant because you said it was debatable if the band would have existed without him; it was just me trying to be funny anyway. I think you're right from the perspective of his influence on the later music of Pink Floyd. But I think that the first album had a huge impact on music beyond Pink Floyd - that's where I see his importance. As for the rock 'n' roll stories - Keith Richards has long since set the drug tolerance "put up or shut up" level for wannabe rock 'n roll suicides everywhere!! lol !! Cheers!

I wouldn't stress flying to the US and back. Have a great trip!!

Aye, and they were planning something more like The Monkees! (joke, joke) So I suppose you're saying "Shine on you insignificant diamond" and "Wish you were here, but we would have done it without you, and we're not all that fussed" Poor sod either way. I doubt he was 'right' in the head from the start - that is very often the way with flashes of brilliance (but I will refrain from my full Oliver Sacks spiel!) RIP

Yup! They're not very tough.....but by god are they punctual! Great work taking the scammer on.

ROFL! @Ken: check out the staff page on the website, and also the link on the previous page here (for the bears and the cars).

Hmm...I know that pidgin English from somewhere? You're not one of those Watusi from Mbuto Gorge? No? Trollerama.

Chronocentric say this: "Klaus Kobec -- Advertises heavily in magazines as being comparable to US$2,000+ watches, with a retail price of US$900, but can be yours for only US$200." Now, I don't like the aesthetics of this watch, and I think a gold plated crown is a bad idea - but if they stick an ETA in perhaps they are entitled to compare it to $2000+ watches. That's what we do. Where they come unstuck a bit is with the RRP rubbish (a game many play) - it costs less than $200 everywhere, and it's across ebay like a rash.

Is it just me, or does Roger have slightly more wheels in the first two photos than he does on the website!! Also, his ears are smaller (wing mirrors).

Don't stress about the supposed 'flaws' - you've got one amazing ETA watch there - it looks great!! Enjoy!!

I take it you like PAM's then! lol! Great collection!

Dancing travels Okay - it's not hilariously funny or anything - but a nice idea. Maybe for the RWG PAW watch on its travels? Was also interested to read about the song he uses on the video - basically swiped (should I say "repped"?) from the Solomon Islands. [EDIT: I mean the PAW watch here! Pass Around Watch ]

Customs But great collection! So what are the watches?

Fair play. As you were boys, with apologies!

Mate, you've been stooged.... You're minkee isnae French, he's fae the Gallowgate.

I didn't know you spoke such excellent French- it's like speaking with Clouseau himself!

I read up on it: they are allowed to kick the utter shit out of each other, but swearing in the ring is a foul - which I thought was sweet!

Joe Stevenson? We're talking tiddlywinks, right?

I think we should ALL retire like this. So much more fun than a gold watch!!

Congratulations Italia!!!!!!!

Not wanting to appear too cynical - but this is, of course, advertising spiel and PR puff. Blancpain according to Blancpain. Ironically (because of Blancpain's views on quartz) I used to have to write exactly this kind of spiel on "the wonders of quartz" Regardless of all that - very informative and interesting. Thank you!

Thank you kind sir!! She will be cherished!!
