  1. To give you some cheer, the current average UK price is US$8.09 per gallon (US gallon).
  2. I'm hoping the idea is to clean the slate, move on and try again guys. A fresh start. I don't see much benefit in recycling old quarrels.
  3. Welcome Bizzon. There are certainly quality Chronofighters, but cheap they ain't.
  4. I wonder if you could have some fun with it by adding something to the back crystal so you can see it underneath the movement. Lookin' good
  5. Rob, I don't know what can be said to make you feel better about all that - there isn't anything that can be said, except to say you can count on our support through your struggles. Keep your head up high, and once all the repo crap is out of the way, hopefully you can make a start on rebuilding - there's one direction and it's onwards and upwards, and it starts next week. Best wishes to you.
  6. Have a great trip - I always love both Hong Kong and Japan, it's always fun.
  7. I visited just now - it appears to be a functioning watch forum It's your DNS, which may be cached by your local ISP. As Pugwash said, if you ever hardcoded the IP into your HOSTS file, you'll need to undo that. If not, just wait and it'll all sort itself out.
  8. I wouldn't stress too much about it - I think one has the day + date, and the other the day, otherwise I think they're identical. Most reps generally just have the date, so they're considered interchangeable in those situations. It depends if you had a very specific purpose in mind.
  9. I tried this "live every day as your last" notion. I've got to tell you - the first 20 minutes were GREAT!!!!!!!! After a bit of a pause to recuperate, the next 20 minutes after that were pretttttty good as well By about the third time around the hour mark - hell, not bad. Better than mowing the lawn, certainly. After that I was kind of sleepy and tired. Kind a felt more like a snooze, maybe a cup of tea watching TV. It turns out, living every day as you last is much more tiring than they tell you. If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because, probably, there's someone you care about. If you're too busy to send this out to other people and you say to yourself that you will send it 'One of these days', remember that 'One day' is far away... or might never come... No matter if you're superstitious or not, spend some time reading it. It holds a useful messages for the soul.

  10. Aww shit. I've just realised why when I played for the school team every Saturday my parents never once showed up to watch Is there a psychiatrist in the house?
  11. Here's Dagog's clip....
  12. Welcome trustytime and perfectclones do indeed carry identical watches.
  13. No wonder you think this one is a good one - if I read it correctly, it's lingerie night tonight in the Berg household!! Either that or she's just about to break it to you that she smashed the car
  14. This belongs in the Southern Hemisphere Chat sub-forum ryyannon....
  15. [FYI - I split this discussion off from Ken's trade review so it could be continued ]
  16. Given this discussion, this article in today's Sunday Times caught my eye - I'm guessing The Mentalist may be spraying his cornflakes over his morning paper when he sees this...

  17. I know we're totally OT from Ken's suits here - we're talking off-the-shelf versus made-to-measure / bespoke (i.e. a genuine brand suit is off-the-shelf; many high street suits (e.g. Marks and Spencer) are fused) My problem with made-to-measure is that's it's a moving frickin' target, so it's not going to fit in a few weeks anyway. In the past, when I've moved houses/countries I've gone through suits throwing out what doesn't fit, only to find out that two doughnuts later it might have again I'm only half-kidding. What I really want from a new suit is fifteen pairs of trousers, just to cover a rainbow of different sizes I may or may not be at some point in the future. Seriously, there's no point wearing an impressive suit if at the end of any meeting you can only walk bandy-legged because the circulation to your feet has been cut off for the past two hours....
  18. I'm guessing a pattern might emerge here quickly - but I'm thinking the Breguet with the white dial (it does look fantastic still) or the FA Jones. I love the decorated movements in the FA Jones, but the dial always seemed a bit shiny and plasticky from photos. BUT the different crystal that Eunomians put in his FA Jones just blew me away (his is black though) - what a mod and improvement that was - absolutely stunning.
  19. It's just too hard a question because it covers an entire brand. Much easier to look at the pictures, pick out the one you like, then start hunting that one down. There's a good chance that there have been some excellent discussions on it previously, I say that not because someone won't help you now, but because some of those watches were once the 'hot' watch of the day, so some of the discussions were pretty detailed. If accuracy to the gen is your goal, you're in trouble because modding Pam's is such a big part of the hobby. Your best bet might be to take someone else's pre-modded Pam in a trade.
  20. Very nice indeed
  21. It's was a Lange that 'entrapped' me too - double damn you Lange & Sohne!
  22. We have a winner! The contest for rbj's new logo is OVER!!!!
