  1. Interesting post from member number 13 Obviously it can be done its just a question of dedication and money ....but maybe we ultimately have to ask this question to the Chinese as large numbers are needed to keep price down...

  3. Obviously they are not all the great in use but bine worked fine (old ink types) but newer use them anymore (use keyboard instead) as they are mostly for the eye.....
  4. You see clive is British and Dems is just simply NIXON (=not british but US American republican)....Clive likes Asian women (and Dems because of his language) and Dems like women (and pretends to hate Clive)....something like that I think they were much like a couple that had been married for many many years and loved to pick at each other...B tea party and all... Clive and Dems...
  5. Damn....I am impressed...its so Miro (the great artist you know).....you must either be brave or have and artistic occupation Robert to wear that well
  6. True horological love Happiesttimekeeping Gunnar da Gran
  7. No worries Neil (=Time To Kill = Evil Eye = The True Kwisatz Haderach) knows how to defend himself..........
  8. The Granmaster!!!! and it his high time it gets some attention from a watchmaker...
  9. No POLEX, PANERI, TAGs or BREITELINGs in my collections..but many other brands...but must admit i have purchased a few but only for friends (yes even the ones with big bling factors) What i do not have and dearly miss are some woprking complications like minute repeaters, tourbillions or proper moon-phase watches...now that woyuld be grand
  10. A Benzinger for me..... Nivrel 5 Minute Repeater Skeletonized * Golden boy, an 18kt gold penis, comes out to "play" with a chime mechanism . * Swiss automatic movement based on eta 2892a2, with a 5-minute repeater module from dubois-depraz reserved for nivrel very limited production - each rotor engraved with production number nivrel hand finishes only 10 skeleton movements per month this movement was initially developed by dubois depraz, the module specialist from le lieu on lac de joux, in the late 80s for kelek as a kelek distributor, gerd hofer of nivrel, purchased all the movements when kelek became part of breitling movement. * Gold color plates skeletonized and hand engraved repeater mechanism . * 5 minute repeater . * Sapphire domed profile 5 minute dot markers on the inside of the crystal crystal. * Black varnished breguet style hands. * Screw-on with screws style exhibition case back. * Choose your own color and texture strap band. * Spring style deployment factory logo clasp. * 50 meters water resistance. * 42 00mm 13 00mm case size. * Limited production - each rotor engraved with number as you push the button at "6",watch chimes the time: hour in single chime, every 5 min increment in a double chime 18kt yellow gold "phallus" moves with the chime .
  11. Apparently TTKs foot is mended and his sexchange completed
  12. I think he has enough money......now that will be one fierce [censored] seriously I wish him well and hope he recovers well and certainly i will respect him no matter what gender he may be
  13. I miss Neil (aka TTK) they say he is in the hospital!? Hope he has recovered and will be allowed to bring back the entertainment once again
  14. Probably it is so! so in most cases you are paying for the label but as The Zigmeister might add an inhouse movement is not necesarily better than something that has been around for years..or better than ETA....sometimes I am worried that movements made 30 to 100 years ago were better than most workings we see today....talking about complications, repeaters and what have you...but obviously most of us will never own such complicated pieces of machinery do to both price and taste..difficult to measure progress. I guess many tourbillions and the like are fairly new inventions and thus improvements.
  15. I am not wearing a watch today But if I was it would either be the VC retrograde (yes with that date that jumps all the way back after the 31st) or the VC Chronographe (yes the Venus 175 type)
  16. be nice he is Swedish...not that there is anything wrong with that
  17. That is a revolutionary idea...maybe it will even work I suggest having two differnt themes then 1. One Why its a good replica section (for the optimistic minded) 2. and a why it is not the perfect replica section (for the watch crazy and maybe analy retentive horoloogist = Typical RWGnut) This will allow two different types of reviews focusing either only on 1. Why its a good replica and 2. why it is not the perfect replica.....brilliant
  18. Search, read and post. Your are allowed ten really stupid questions now at the start and dont mind if some of the answers seem funny, misplaced or even insulting its part of the fun and learning experinece. This place is the best Happy Timekeeping Gran The Wiking (BTW Friday is a good day to get laid....)
  19. Not the very last thing I guess but good point I guess we could add a lot of things to such a list of things that should not be noticed...pink underwear, body odor, dirty this and that...
