Great photos!!

'Tis true - Planet Oceanitis is an affliction of which I suffer. Although the correct term in polite company is Tangerine Diveratis. @Mike - sounds like we both need to be saving the pennies then. After all - there are still orange Doxa's on the shopping list as well

How come I never saw this before? What cave was I living in?! I was given a copy of International Watch magazine today and stopped in lust at this orange Ebel. I see (searching!) that it has been mentioned before. But still - I want this on my wrist. Now.

Whoa!! Back up pardner!! 3 FACTS: - It was you and Miss Understood that originally petitioned for a 'communal shower' whereas my proposal for private baths with prostitutes was dismissed as 'expensive, unworkable and contagious'. - It's you that is in charge of the soap purchasing, and you buy 'Mr Slippy' every time, whereas I have repeatedly PM'd my preference for 'Iron Grip Dove' (I find it milder). - While it's an undeniably tempting sight - you could resist occasionally you know!!!

And the good news is.... In 250 million years I'll still be 'living' by the beach. Unlike the mountain range that will be Martha's Vineyard.... I always knew I had an eye for buying quality real estate...

:rofl:

:wub:

That's one way of putting it.... One man's guilt free debauchery is another man's Miss Understood hazing ritual I guess

Under a bridge?! You want a sweet ride and a waterfront cardboard box? That's some high quality real estate! Okay I've thought about this - and as you're probably expecting this is going to be immensely helpful.... PROS: - The 911 has excellent handling around hazards like soup kitchen queues, which is important in any depression. - It has hardly any space for grocery shopping bags - but on the plus side the reduced space will scale exactly to your reduced grocery affordability. - Your neighbors will probably like you less. Which is useful, as it dissuades them from peering over the fence to chat about the weather when you're trying to have sex with the wife in the spa. - If there's a financial apocalypse, a Porsche 911 is going to barter for more cans of beans than a '97 Taurus. - The car yard and the credit company will be bankrupt and non-existent in a few months anyway. It's basically a free car. CONS: It's red not black.

My rule of thumb is to take 2-3 months of any wife, daughters' and mistress's credit card expenditure. Divide by a thousand. That's the amount they expect you to spend on a watch. Take the same amount and multiply by a five hundred thousand to discover how much they plan to spend on shoes and handbags.

Congrats

I'd be wary of the many of the rep pens (the MB's in particular) - some of them are woeful. There were some Montegrappa Dragon pens that I seem to recall being popular at some point, but they weren't to my own taste.

How did they even hold the camera still without shivering? Impressive. Wait.... I get it now. They were frozen solid.

Welcome! The Asian 21J's are not only rock solid (and economical to chuck out the movement and replace anyway) - but they're a lot of fun and great bang for the buck. Enjoy!

Can't wait to hear more about this brilliant GTG

Welcome Mike!

Looks like your son has already caught the bug! I definitely like it more on the green Nato than the red and black; I reckon it would look great on an orange Nato too. Wear it well - and thanks for the pics!

Welcome!

What a watch! I may need some time alone with some Kleenex...... If Owen had that watch - I doubt he'd have been depressed to begin with

Welcome Mike Dependable and low maintenance? What's the fun in that? Who would ever get married or have kids? Enjoy your new watch!

Fantastic work!

Welcome

TT generally has the heart attack and then arises from the dead in time for the bar opening. He's one cool guy. Just don't pop a balloon behind him

This watch is very impressive in the AD windows. I know it's not fashionable - but I think it's a looker. I'd add AR to that watch too - it'll be stunning. Enjoy!
