Happy Birthday! Glad to read that you're doing well.

:lol: Classic.

The RWG ring has landed!! A big thank you to kenburg, kruzer00, and omni for all their help with it.

The red sounds great for the UN. I'm definitely thinking of a brown strap for the Skyland, but I'm sure the gen croc will find a suitable home.

I love it!! I need to get this brown strap sorted; I said I'd do it for xmas but never got around to it. The other option is a gator, they look pretty sweet on the Skyland as well. I'm a big UN fan too, so looking forward to seeing pics of that when it arrives. Which color combo did you go with?

Happy Birthday!

Looking good. The brown strap on the Skyland is looking awesome; I need to sort myself with one of those.

That's right - nothing I can do to get the watch on my wrist. It's theirs to sell. In the worst case scenario they could get a ticking off from the local Trading Standards equivalent for misleading or deceptive advertising, but that doesn't put a watch on my wrist and I have better things to do with my time. It's more about PR for the store. Women natter and swap tales. Already they've created a Facebook petition fatwa (kidding ). As I said, I'm just disappointed - it would have been a sweet watch. I'll just have to get my Sellita jollies elsewhere

Looks like its going to be Mexican chili night tonight then

I'll wait and see if they try the same thing on a more expensive watch - then it'll be mine!!

It was either a bait n' switch or it was a screw up by them. Either way, I didn't see a scenario where I ended up with the watch on my wrist - they didn't want to sell it. They offered a new higher price, but it was like starting at square one - I know you can get 30% off an Oris without even asking for it, and I've seen up to 55% off at ADs reading the forums. I was annoyed by the sales BS - 'it's below my cost' is what they said for the new offer, yeah sure buddy. It was disappointing more than anything - in my head I was already thinking of ways when I could use my watch when a kilometer underwater.

I'm crestfallen after a great deal on a gen went pear-shaped. I was out shopping for the wife's birthday and, you know, got kind of bored and decided to look at watches. In an AD window they had a sale on with big red prices on some choice watches, which is a little unusual. Anyway I picked out an Oris Titanium Diver, tried it on, it looked great and said I'll buy it. So far so good. At which point they said "oh, that's not the right price on it." Basically they refused to sell it at the sale price in their window. I was pretty disappointed, mentally I already owned the watch. But I guess it's theirs to sell - I just wish they'd not screwed me around. On a bit more of a conversational note - it was interesting to see how many watches had noticeable scratches and imperfections that could be seen upon handling them. Generally I'm fairly relaxed about that kind of thing, but if they had been drop-shipped from GZ I can imagine a lot of them being sent back as flawed. (The point being - these are gens in an AD).

Welcome J!

Good to have you here Malky

You're going to have to narrow down the choices a bit.....at least give us continent! Merry Christmas to all!! (PS Ken kindly lent me his favorite thongs, so I'm wearing them now.... )

Can we have a poll on whether we can edit these posts for posterity?

Fantastic shots! I hope it's not literally like butter, of course I've got to get one of these BP's.

Welcome

Egg Nog and Brandi In the bowl containing the egg yolks, beat the yolks using a mixer, if you have one. Slowly add in half of the half-cup of sugar, while still mixing. When really well mixed, set the yolk & sugar bowl aside and begin work on the egg whites. The egg whites need to be beaten stiff with the other half of the sugar. Combine the egg whites and the yolks and continue mixing on low speed.... Oh fuck it - it'll be faster if I just show you the picture....

Another terrific review! Thank you!

Hmmm... What happens if I press this big red button?

It's both fascinating and thought-provoking. A keepsake restoration indeed.
