  1. Still not right looks a lot beter than the old version. The old version was closer to the IWC pilot with a top gun logo on back. Looks to shiny tho or has the gen changed?

    Fullex: try THIS its even a gen for the price of a rep. Accurate slide rules and all if you don't mind quartz. There's a few nice flight watches on there under 300 or so , all gens.

  2. Who pays 300 for a quartz rep? My dealer charges between 50 and 80 bucks for quartz. Most of the time in same case as auto. Mind you the only quartz reps I will buy are those that have a quartz MVT in gen such as the Bvlgari Carbon Gold I just ordered for a friend.

    If you must go quartz Watch Eden have a range of quartz reps for arround 108USD, less for RWI members (here too?). About a third are same case as auto.

    EDIT: Hey Vric, hows your MS tourby going?

  3. Na, forget the WOUH. We're pinching the Corpus Clock. The chronophage will scare anyone and we get to watch der preety lights blinkn and flashen.

    BTW, we're going to need one of those nuke power plants in a can like they use at Scott Antartic Base as well. Diesel exaust is a dead giveaway. No one noticed one just lying around have they?

  4. Great find Greg. Bookmarked.

    EDIT: THIS NAVI is sold but look at the price for an imaculate slightly used Navitimer!

    OR THIS for a lot less if you don't mind a quality quartz MVT. It's nealy as cheap as

    a rep Citizen or Seiko flight watch and has a gen Seiko MVT with accurate slide rule! Alpha, your new flight watch is calling.

  5. NSX, hey! Good idea. 3000GTs are a bit thin on the ground and don't have the suport thats arround for NSX owners. Nice cars tho.

    M635csi, yum. I drove a loner for a few months (thanks Mr Trivett) and for a big, heavy, oldish car it was an absolute blast! So well built if somwhat bulky. They feel big standing still but the bulk seems to vanish once moving. The ease with which you can powerslide one like you would a much smaller car is amazing. I had a 325 2door E30 with a M6 3.5 in it for a while. That was interesting. If I can find a good one I'm seriously considering a 1st gen M5 next time I can afford to change cars. Thats gotta be the sweetest six ever made and the sound . . . either that or an 840 but th're a bit on the expensive side upkeep wise. Not enough arround. Hate to tthink of panel costs where as the M5 is basicly a 5series. Note I said 840. There is NO WAY I would buy a Beemer 12cyl. The only device more complicated, fragile and expensive to fix that I am aware of is the space shuttle.

    EDIT: yes, Greg Beemer appear to have lost the plot styling wise. None of the new ones apeal to me at all.

  6. The view to reply ratio on the RWG1 threads in here is abnormaly high. Don't be afraid to have your say as well as lurking and reading. We are more than happy to hear your two cents worth as well. We're in your home after all. Join in, we don't bite. Well, most don't and Jameo ain't here much and has had his shots anyway.

  7. @John: not shure to laugh or agree. Only problem is no one can afford a decent sized tract of Brittish soil. Even Surry is worth a motza now. At least I live some where you can still buy a thousand acres of (realy) crappy country for fifty gees or so. Burrying shipping containers is easyier and more cost effective than building bunkers BTW. You can cut holes and join them with passageways to build a whole complex if you want. If you can learn to drive a excavator you can DIY this version too so there's no need to shoot the workers to maintain security. All ways a plus not to have nosey cops arround chasing "dissapered ones".
