Kim Jong Il: It will be 911 times 2356. Chris: My God, that's... I don't even know what that is! Kim Jong Il: Nobody does!

Technically we already had Piaget - it was the first entry. But it's been a day, and the real tough nut is the next one along! Fair enough if you think this is crap - but worth a shot! For Q I have: Q The creator of these fine timepieces.....: And the man himself:

Terrible business - like so many I had good reasons to count my blessings when I could finally get calls through to mobile phones.... Anyway - the BBC has put up an excellent page about those who were less fortunate: BBC London blast victims

It's very bizarre - some of the product pages are accessible now, but not the navigation ones. Either they're having a terrible run of luck, or somebody has got it in for them - their moneybookers account was closed on them, website lost and now web hosting strangeness.... Fingers crossed they can bounce back next week.

Best of luck with everything!! ....and remember on Sunday evening - we won the Kirin Cup!! Cheers!

That's not a collection.....it's a shop! Amazing!

Nice! Great to see the sheer size of that IWC too!

Just for the record, the density figure I gave was the density of 18ct gold (taken from gold.org). So I am still correct to multiply it by 0.75 to get to the weight of the actual gold. Fair enough if you're going to weigh it instead, etc.

I had that coming!

Hey, when I go into banks I get ripped off, storm out, slam the door and shout at them to go fuck themselves too! Do I have a speech impediment I don't know about? Or does everyone have this problem?!

(Recycling jokes already!) EDIT: Sorry, forgot to add - welcome back!

They seem to have been working to bring the backup up to speed - the prices have been amended and accounts added. But they still can't take Moneybookers, despite what the website says at the moment. Cheers!

So I'm guessing that the only bit that actually works on this car is the clock! Are you sure this isn't a British car then?!

Let me just say, this a fantastic looking watch and fantastic value as a watch. I wish I had that kind of disposable fun money But can I point out a potential flaw (might be wrong) in your gold value calculation for those interested in the 'investment' aspect. I think you worked out the weight of the gold based on the pure density, and then did the 75% calculation to bring it down to 18cts. But the 25% that isn't gold doesn't have the same density. Stainless steel has a density of roughly 8g / cm3; pure gold 19.3g / cm3 18ct gold has a density of 15.3g / cm3 for pink (slightly less for red, slightly more for yellow) So your 35g of stainless steel would not be 84g of 18ct gold, but 66.9 g of 18 ct gold. And, of course, only 75% of this is solid gold. So your calculation would go 66.9 g / 31.1 grams per troy oz =2.15 troy oz X 75% gold X 625 USD/troy oz=$1008 worth of gold. I could be way off - so please say if I've got this wrong. As I said, even so, I think that's still a good deal and a 'lot of watch' for those that can afford it. Best of luck guys!

They look nice!

As Repaustria said, the test was for 5bar = 50m depth, and obviously it passed. So that is the pressure at which the test is conducted, the other two figures are the results of that test. I think the initial strain is the amount that the case compresses (shrinks) when the pressure is first applied. The strain trend then shows the change in that distortion after a period of time (say a minute). If the trend is stable or negative then that is good - nothing is getting into the case. If the trend shows a positive, then something got into the case during the time the pressure was applied. I think that's right - but someone else might know better.
