  1. Looks good for the dough, mate. Was that quartz or a 21J? Either way, enjoy! :)

    I must try a Bentley again - last time it felt like I was wearing a hubcap strapped to my wrist, but having gotten used to the size of the Fiddy (which I've been wearing all week), you never know - I might feel a little more comfortable with the Bentley now.

    I like deployant buckles, but every now and then I come across one I just can't get along with (APs in particular - big time pain in the wrist...). My usual solution is to fit a regular tang buckle to the strap - I don't know about Breit straps, but AP & PAM deployant straps can handle a regular buckle without problems. Might be the cheapest solution. Buckles are available on eBay or you could try www.watch-band-center.com, who are my usual source for cheaper straps/buckles etc.

  2. As much as I would love to read that thread I have no intention of joining the spartens. Hell. I reckon LOS rules with an iron fist (no offence intended mate) I wouldn't last ten minutes there. If I.ve got somthing to say, I say it.

    Col.

    Oh, I thoroughly dislike RG, Col, but I'm a member there just as I am at RWI (and even RWS still despite the ban lol). It can be a useful resource at times - I just don't join in with the chatter and all the "SPAAAAARTA" crap :p

    Worth signing up even if all you do is lurk.

  3. hey what's with the cheating and not posting pics - just a list of car's now?

    without pics, it never happened - y0ou should know better - shame on u

    Oh, it happened. I have the overdraft to prove it. :p

    What I don't have, though, are photos of the various cars I've owned over the years.... More interested in driving them than taking pics of 'em.

    I'll take a pic of the Benz I buy when and if the damned insurance company ever make a bloody decision (getting mighty [censored] off with 'em, let me tell you). My only consolation is that I managed to persuade them to upgrade my courtesy car from the poverty spec Peugeot heap I've been driving. Only a Vectra, but given that's what got mashed by the tree, it's fair enough, I guess...

  4. PICS OR IT DIDN"T HAPPEN! :D :D :D

    Seriously, though - congrats. Bummer that it arrived when you were away. Shame it's only a Breitling, but I guess ya can't have everything :lol:

    Sounds like you lucked out on the rollie crystal, too.

    Wear it well, mate :)

  5. Well, eeeeeeeeehm, it is not a Breitling you know. :o

    Fortunately.

    Awesome looking watch - It's good to finally see a rep of the 8 day with a working meter.

    Very very very tempted indeed - my list of 'must have' PAMs is getting longer....

  6. Ah, yes. I see that sir has contracted the old 20/20 hindsight affliction! I don't think I have known anyone who managed to escape this one.

    LOL - quite right. Still, that CX would be worth a lot of money now..... Mind you, I would probably have spent twice its current value keeping it running ;)

  7. Is that REALLY you and your first wife???!!!

    Dibujo-2.jpg

    Having checked the image for evidence of thrown items and sundry weapons, I'd say no, that's not my first wife. She wasn't blonde, anyhow, and this one's smiling, which tends to suggest it can't be her.

    The guy in the photo looks more like my dead-beat son-in-law than me.... :p

  8. im changing back to the car thread idea...

    a few of the FAV's i have owned:

    Interesting list - I see we have at least one car in common. :)

    For comparison's sake, here's a few of mine, in no particular order:

    Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo (targa)

    Nissan/Datsun 280Z (targa)

    Saab 900 turbo (the original version of the 900 pre GM)

    Saab 99 EMS

    Saab 96 Monte Carlo (the old sixties rally-spec one. Incredibly rare even then).

    Citroen CX GTi turbo

    M-Benz 230TD estate (I put around 150,000 miles on that one - still drove like new).

    Mini Cooper S (the original sixties version)

    BMW M635csi

    Rover SD1 3500V8 Vitesse

    What's a little annoying is how many of those cars are now considered classics and are appreciating in value. There's at least three there that I wish I still owned :)
