Bumpege.

Before anyone starts in on D4M they may wish to look HERE Col.

Reported to Panerai. Better late than never. Maybe eBay will cop a serve. Col.

mjmj added. Col.

Welcome mate! Pity you're a week late for the Sydney Get Together. Click on the link in my sig and put yourself on the list for the next one! Col.

As stated above you can get the diamond tester right here on the forum. The link is HERE Col.

Indeed, a real beauty ain't she? I still want one, bad! Col.

50 bucks? Get two, one for the car Yep, I'd be happy to wear that. Pity they writ "Quartz" so large on the dial tho. Col.

The timepiece predates this forum actualy. For the story go read the member interview with Admin. Yup a great time was indeed had by all. Four fora represented and nary a bad word. See? It can happen! Col.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Gary Clark yet, Da man for all your perspex crystal goodness. Someone got his ebay store in their book marks? Col.

Balmain bug! You would not want to be eating any shellfish caught anywhere near Balmain, trust me! They actualy come from up this way in Queensland. The correct term is Morton Bay Bug, they just don't like admiting they hail from interstate. Col.

Amazing that they think it's any of their biz what you buy. I'd plumb for "consumer product, and that's all you need to know" my self. Col.

On the East side of Darling Harbor which is round the other side of the bridge from Circular Key. Col.

Here are some pics. Some of the gang of a dozen or so who turned up. Wat44, Offshore, Phaedo, KB, me, Bob Bean and others. Someone with a memory for names fill in the blanks please! Wat44's watch case was rather popular. One of Bob Bean's hand made straps. He does real nice work! KB's RWG1 watch. Without this piece (and those like it) RWG2 may well never have been! A real live VDB on yours truly's wrist. Pity it's not my watch as well. Yup, the damn Pam bug has bit now. Curse you all! Beer and watches, what more could a guy want? Well, since AHW wasn't available anyway The GTG went on untill about 7pm or so when Bob, OS and myself retired to the cross to continue shooting the breeze in the somewhat less salubrious surroundings of the Beefsteak and Burbon's footpath seating while watching the passing King's Cross parade of drunks, druggies and hookers mingle with the cops and local fireies, limmos, bikers and even the Govenor General herself passing by. It was great to see folk from all four fora gathered in one place. AFIK this is a first so chalk up another #1 for OZ. Next come Brisbane so the QLD contingent as well as anyone else who feels like making a trip to the sunshine state is in for a great time early in the new year. Col. PS: If someone could kindly repost this at Geeks that would be great!

Hey Lani, nice strap on the explorer. You just cost me money as I now know it needs a croc strap What are you doing dial and crystal wise? I have a clarks here for mine, still tossing up wether to get an older style dial and change 'em. Col.

I've called the bann cavalry: Take your spam and rack off fool! Col.

Take those pics and we can tell you if it's right or not mate. Col.

Took ya long enough See? No one reads OT. Gio: You're kidding! Realy? Small world ain't it. Now, tell us the story behind that pic! Col.

ROFL Ya gotta wonder if that was done on purpose! Asuming that ain't a PS pic of cause. Col.

Marketing. The twin blade was a reasonable idea that worked so if two blades are good, ergo five must be better! I still use an army safety razor (Gillette) with "propper" twin edge blades and shave soap/brush. Col.

Yep, wear it! That's what it was designed for mate. Col.

When oh when are they gunna get their asses into gear and bring this out with the new co-axial MVt in it? I want correct sub dial spacing! Col.

Oh yeah, WTF? Col.

Caseback suffered from a lose rotor natch. Col.
