Great to have you back soon Joe Best wishes from Norway Gunnar Gran

56 feet and 8 inches Now thats a lot of snow.....no wonder Norwegians love Alaska BTW we are now having lovely spring weather her in southern Norway the days are getting much longer and at low altitude snow is gone almost everywhere close to the coast (save places that are perpetually in the shade) g.

Very nice stuff Thor too bad that I quit smoking a year and half ago..I liked that "klagt nicht, kampft! g.

Are you absolutely sure that VC would not produce a watch with English descriptions for the English speaking marked in addition to the French version?

Did I hear someone say watch geeks? or are we just nuts.....

That is one exellent looking PP replica watch now I want to buy one too. The exqusite dial is absolutely a piece of horological art. Regards gunnar

That would be the end of me..... BTW this it was a monphase dial should look like..always just moon + moon

This is true and smilling suns can also be seen on watches much more expensive than $3000 too... but not on anything you know should have a moonphase

Anytime during the day you can easily tell that it is a replica because of the silly smilling sun .....at night you stand a beter chance of getting away with it since the moon and the stars are up

Horologists sheeesssss................ Great story! but even I would easily be able to tell (at least when the sun is up) that this is a replica just by taking a quick glance at the dial g.

...I just love the "I don't even do this for the money" reminds me of someone currently on vacation....

This reminds me of the good old days and our fried friend rolexaward...

Ming Thein’s Horological Dictionary Easy and great information about watches and how they tick (http://www.tp178.com/jd/ming_dictionary/edit[1].html) Examples of what is in it: F Fast Beat – A movement which has a frequency of 8 Hz or higher, i.e. 28800bph or more. See also Frequency 28,800 vph is 4 Hz. Finishing – Any method of applying a surface finish to a part, be it decorative or functional. See also Guilloche, Anglage, Perlage, Polishing, Black Polishing, Engraving, Engine Turning Five minute repeater – A complication which chimes the time on demand in hour and five minute increments on two gongs. See also Chime, Gong, Hammer, Repeater, Minute Repeater, Carillon, Sonnerie [censored] – A concentric protuberance on a part. Floating lugs – Lugs attached by means of a pivot to the case, allowing them to move. See also Strap, Band, Bracelet, Lugs Flyback – A chronograph that can be reset and restarted without stopping, achieved by a single push of a button. This term is often confused with retrograde hands and split second chronographs, because they ‘fly back’ to their original positions. See also Chronograph and so on.... Multilingual lexicon relating to watch terms http://www.worldtempus.com/wt/1/339/ For example Italian to English Riserva di carica = Power reserve

http://www.robbreport.com/Articles/Style/T...n-Flagrante.asp Highly traditional erotic watches will make you look twice "In the days before the Internet, the centerfold, and the singles bar, an erotic watch might have been a source of ribald humor between men, or, when discreetly revealed in mixed company, a not-so-subtle proposition. Apparently, those who flaunt their enormous, macho watches as a modern courting display could instead be taking a far more direct approach" - James D. Malcolmson

This is quite a drama and whats even more exiting is that I am waiting for this exact PO watch but in black...sure hope the modifications are real mprovements and not just hype Regards Gran

Hei og valkommen silverpilen This seems to be the perfect place for you.......and for the fun of it you should show pictures of what you put under your bed to us Hilsen fra Norge Gunnar Er det Husqvarna Silverpilen Cross du liker?

Interesting thread I much enjoyed reading all this vintage watch love and one thing is sure you guys are crasy for TUDOR Regards Gunnar

Where are the watches?

All that snow...... There is no way I can compete with you BOb. I ski to work when the snow conditions are like that I have a DBS bike and it is the old fashion type bike not offroad and not the skinny wheel type and its only a 4 kilometeres bike distance to work so only 8km a day for me

kenberg Robertk dadog13 jkerouac sailadams Marrickvilleboy chrgod Thank you for the compliments guys @Marrickvilleboy The Railmaster are up for sale @gdaddy chrgod has answered and I actually have two different versions of it (kings prototype and BLADE/erics version) @sailadams Actually the hands are quite luminous as they are and indeed one goes crasy figuring out the time.... @ehtolcad @jkerouac Yes! When I started collecting replicas I decided not to collect the most sold luxury brands. You will also note that I have not PATEK in my collection so far either....I might buy a PATEK one day.

The numerals on my FM LI CH are not luminescent @all of you great guys Thank you for those kind comments I appreciate the feedback Regards Gunnar

Some pieces will be sold and there will also be some new watches coming my way. The core of my collection some replicas and some genuines: A a larger view of my collection. The Knights Dagger Split Flying Seconds on the far left is sold: What was on Grans winder in early 2005: I have not posted pictures of my OMEGA SMP, my two railmaster, my 45 and 41mm CI watches and some others timepices. Maybe I will post pictures of these and some new arrivals later this year. Regards Gunnar

Either youre drunk Bob or your Norwegian is going down the drain and out at sea.....you just wrote "Where it said? She is worth her weight inside the gold"..but I understand she is worth her weight in gold and i hope she is not the skinny type considering the gold prices these days

11 to 12 Norwegian kroners a liter about USD 1.70 a litre and thats probably the most expensive gasoline in the world...but we dont care because our salaries are quite high and Oil is our major export product together with gas. BTW I bike to work.
