  1. I wish Klink aka Schulz aka phil could have answered on this thread he knew look at this link for details about Chinese made quality movements: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...amp;hl=sea-gull For example here is a Chinese 2824-like movement Regards Gunnar The Horologist
  2. From the 10-12 and 28-30 of November is impossible for me what about the 3rd of November...we are an easy bunch Hva som enn skjer har vi en ny GTG 13 januar 2007?
  3. I am having difficulties....is it a cheap quartz driven watch?
  4. No doubt mr1973 but why does he not put "Made in Germany" on the front? could they be assembeled in asia? or must the movement be German too to put "Made in Germany" on them?
  5. On of the most classy TAGs I have ever seen I am not sure if i like the high polished "bezel" but beside that it is fantastic
  6. The single hand watch MeisterSinger 55 pieces worldwide..but not expensive at $880? Owing its origins to the sundial, the single hand watch first appeared as a pocket watch in the 18th century, and has not been produced as a wrist watch since the early 1900's...big deal The dial is marked in both hour and five minute intervals. To tell the correct time, simply read the correct two digit hour and count the number of five minute markers after the hour to know minutes I hope you like this GENUINE WATCH RANT OF MINE
  7. ARCHIMEDE S p o r t P u l s Ickler GmbH, Hirsauerstr. 214, 75180 Pforzheim, Germany Seen this one sold for down to $360 or EUR 295,- Eta 2824. This watch measures 42 mm by 10 mm so size is very nice The maker say: "The SportPuls allows not only the reading of time and date but also measures the pulse rate. Three consecutives pulsometer scales are placed along the outer perimeter of the dial. After counting 15 pulses the rate can be read on the scale. One never has to wait more than 20 seconds to start the measurement. Compared to a chronograph, this concept has the advantage, that, when measuring one's own pulse, doesn't have to awkwardly press the pusher with one hand. Moreover, the SportPuls, with it's Eta 2824 is much lighter and less complex than a chronograph. The polished 42mm stainless steel case features a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 50m. The rugged and reliable Eta 2824 is visible through the display back." Link: http://www.archimede-uhren.de/EN/Watches/7919-a31.htm Q: Is this SportPuls as practical as the claim? Another thing I have noticed with these watches is none say "SWISS MOVT" or "Made in Germany" on them...I wonder why? regards Gunnar

    Sinn

    Manual winding chronograph with moon phases This watch measures 41 mm by 14.5 mm a little thick? So do you recognize the movement on this Sinn ? The Breiteling owners should love this $3,340 Sinn beauty
  9. This Jacques Etoile watch measures 42 mm by 10.3 mm!!!! Nice size!!! $1,960
  10. Automatic watch with dual time and date in steel Unlike most dual time zone watches, Rainer Brand has made modifications to the movement to allow for a completely independent second time zone at 12, including the minutes indication. This feature is useful for tracking time zones that are timed to the half hour, such as Australia . Another unique feature is the way the second time zone and date functions have been integrated into the movement. Most watches use a modular approach to add these functions, resulting in a thicker movement and case size. Rainer Brand has designed and built the movement to fully integrate these functions, resulting in a thinner movement. Both the second time zone and date are adjusted by using positions in the winding crown. The case is in steel, and satin-finished and hand polished. The dial is in silver/white with a circular guilloché pattern. Blued steel hands and sweep seconds. This watch features crystals on the front and back to reveal the finished and decorated movement. This watch measures 36 mm by 11 mm $1,960 Do you like this Rainer Brand?

    Tragedy

    While President Bus..ooops I meant to say Stoltenberg prime minister of Norway was visiting a primary school he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the Primeminister if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy", so the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a "tragedy". One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy". "No," said Stoltenberg, "that would be an accident." A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explained the Primeminister. "That's what we would call a great loss." The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Stoltenberg searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the room a small boy raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: "If Air Force One carrying you and King Harald was struck by a friendly fire missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaimed Stoltenberg. "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," said the boy, "It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a [censored]ing accident either!"
