once I saw the google and the yahoo bots there at the same time - three

i have just ordered the brown tag at the top of the page

Want to talk about it, [censored], dickface,

What's to discuss, shitstain? My evening involves the local pub (which is within walking distance) and a few pints, which are definitely called for after the week I've had.

What could be simpler?

Armstrong went there or am i mistaken.

one giant leap for mankind...

Yeah. right. That would be half the forum gone :-)

Well, 12.42% of it anyway. Bah, its a hobby. Gets a bit lonley just me and the bots tho. There's all ways guests reading, just not posting. I will persevere and it'l get there eventualy.

BTW, has anyone noticed how the RWG1 posts dominate the "recent posts" list on the index page here? 3 out of the 5 ATM.

Col.

Every time I show up, the only 'guest' is the google bot.....

Bugger off you festering excuse for a shitstained dickweed!

Yeah!

oscar joins the cheap club with greg

oscar and greg say [censored] off to you money wasting fookers

lmao

Not yet - planning to get shitfaced this evening, however....

So low ball him - offer him $150 and cite the chrono second hand - nothing to lose.

I'll go take a look at it.

Edit: Shame - it's the black face version, I wanted white. You almost talked me into it, too

REALLY?

You think there would be NO change at all?

Couldn't get any worse....

Suck my tube steak you fudge packer!

Hey, I just noticed... shitstain didn

I love this watch - there is a used one with A7750 on RWI - for $235 but no bites - the seller might accept a lowball since it has been up for well over a week - maybe even two. I think the chrono hand don

yeah love the SLR but not on a bracelet get rubber you know you wanna

rubber is for ....errrrr

nevermind

Don

One cheapie I'm on the lookout for is a Tag SLR. Lawrence does a 21J-powered one on a bracelet that looks the business for $80-90ish, and there are several quartz reps around too. Very tempted - might be my next buy after the PAM127 I have on order gets here...

And, did you found it yet?

uh-huh......

This is my weekend car, makes me smile every time I get behind the wheel!!!:

I bet

A colleague used to own one - same colour. We all used to refer to it as the 'flying banana'. Great car.

The Tag Grand Carrera at the top of your post is indeed automatic - it looks identical to one a friend picked up for me in Shenzhen a few months back. Was wearing it yesterday - not the highest quality rep (the GMT function doesn't work - it just shows the same hour as the hands), but good-looking for a cheapie and on a surprisingly good strap. Mine keeps excellent time, but the power reserve isn't great.

The BR02 will only take a BR strap. The rubber strap on mine is actually very good, but it was quite a bit more expensive than the one you've pictured (mine has a high-beat movement - another Shenzhen special), so I can't vouch for the quality there. Leather straps are available, but you'd have to buy gen or from somewhere like altstraps, so the strap is gonna cost more than the watch I seem to recall seeing 02s on leather somewhere - possibly Lawrence. Might be worth a look.

From the watches I've bought and/or seen, the low end for something reasonably decent is $50, and only a fairly tiny percentage of those are actually worth having. Ironically, I'm often more careful with what I buy when spending $50 than I am when spending $300, as a lot of the really cheap stuff is just street junk.

By the way - cheap autos with faux chronos can be unreliable as the extra complications to power the subdials (usually hour and day) are not terribly well made - I'd stick to non-chronos at that kinda price unless you're buying *cough* quartz *cough*.

Cheers mate.

I thought that too was one of the nicest things ever said about you.

Then we are in agreement!

Beer?

You forget people telling you you are cheap?

I try to....

Being a bad influence is much more rewarding....

With all these older luxury cars around for no money, there is nooooo reason to drive a citroen berlingo or such.

Amen to that.

Especially if you dont live in denmark, where prices are insane on cars.

Yeah, I know - I used to spend quite a bit of time in Denmark (business) way back when... I dunno how you guys manage to afford decent machinery over there...

Get one with good service history, and they will outlast you.

classy all week, and fun for the weekend. ;)

Like I said - a tempting idea. I was planning to buy one good car (still tempted by the AMG E55 I was talking about in the other car thread), but two (one expensive for weekends, one cheap for a 'beater) sounds like fun

Sorry, but i didnt have a picture of my e32, so i "stole" this one. Im in dk, so the steering wheel is on the wrong side in the picture.

Actually i was trying a 95 xj6. It was a superb car. very nice ride and handling. All services where ok, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Im still thinking about it, because i want it as a daily driver. Just want to be sure that its reliable.

Ya know, that's a very tempting idea. An cheap old Jag (or even a Merc) as a 'daily beater' and something fancier for the weekends. Just like watches.

You've got me thinking now, rkdk...
