Demsey

Bright lad. I hope he doesn't drive.

Did this jeweler have three balls hanging outside the shop? Because "in Philadelphia it's worth FIFTY DOLLARS." (Kidding)

If it's to flip it, fine. But reading some of your other posts, don't you have other stuff to worry about other than owning a genuine Rolex?

Haven't you seen the price of Lego and college education these days

LOL!

Pawnbroker (Bo Diddley): Burnt my fingers, man.

Louis Winthorpe III: I beg your pardon?

Pawnbroker (Bo Diddley): Man, that watch is so hot, it's smokin'.

Louis Winthorpe III: Hot? Do you mean to imply stolen?

Pawnbroker (Bo Diddley): I'll give you 50 bucks for it.

Louis Winthorpe III: Fifty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is *the* sports watch of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!

Pawnbroker (Bo Diddley): You got a receipt?

Louis Winthorpe III: Look, it tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad.

Pawnbroker ((Bo Didley): In Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks.

Louis Winthorpe III: Just give me the money.

Louis Winthorpe III: [looking in display case] How much for the gun?

Ben Sanderson to the pawn broker: $500 for a Rolex Daytona!?

Pawn Broker: Nods

Ben Sanderson: I'll take it.

[censored] pho, just go on a bender. The same amount of Ya Ya and regret, but, coincidentally, in Philadelphia, fifty bucks.

Call us old fashioned over here in Britland but we tend to leave the house and move to a different one

Yes. If you have to live on a hill in an unpopulated province of Tibet, then sure, build a home. People build homes in neighborhoods where nice homes are for sale. I'm not getting that.

Seems pretty technical. I'll just wait for the deciphered, unadulterated 'truth' from the community college Communications Associate's Degree winner turned State Representitive on the CSPAN to steer me with regard come November '10.

Scientists, what do they know?!

Just being facetious Bob. I certainly will wade through these tomorrow eve, when I have time to Google the terms. Actually the DeJong article is pretty 'reglar talkin'.

Or, you can simply abandon the science of it all if you can just accept one simple philosophy; humans really are, merely, puny.

I remember that one from Mel Gibson's first picture.

Not sure if you are still monitoring this thread SM, but member 'db2' is selling a <genuine clasp and associated parts> in 'trades' that is a steal. Expensive, still (as compared to the price of the rep) but a good way to put your PO 'over the top'......

Yeah, that watch is damn sexeh. In this year model as well, the models that came after kind of left me flat.

Thanks!

No one would ever question it's authenticity. Very well done!

Yeah, that's nuts! A case of beer waiting for the pilot who returned that plane to service!

But there's a 'rest of the story here'. There were two hunters on the plane. Because of the "will she or won't she?" aspect of continuing the flight, one guy stayed behind. He was attacked by the bear who came back to the Piper Buffet for seconds................You'll have to scroll way down to give you the chance to bail on the thread, the pics are pretty graphic and explicit; 'weak stomach alert!'

The horror. The horror.

Oh. OK then. My bad. Then I would certainly encourage you to go 'round for a boat race to boat race. Please post an update with the result. TIA

People who lie, will also steal. People who steel usually have a 'substance' problem. People with substance problems are paranoid and should be considered armed and dangerous. Especially on their own turf. If you go in person, bring more than a 'fist' or 'knife' even.

Go by remote control pm04; hxxp://www.fbi.gov/majcases/fraud/internetschemes.htm. Specifically IC3

Do not feel you have to be cagey about the transaction involving a 'replica watch'. This scenerio does not put you at risk with the law in that regard.

'Milton' will get a nice certified letter from .gov.org and emails to start. I dunno, I'm armed too. I rather have you come to my house [censored] off (castle doctrine) than get emails from the Feds.

Good luck.

Dems: Sydney

Really? When'd they change it?

or something

Yeah right; 'something'. We all know what doctors mean by 'something'. Wink, wink, nod, nod.

Check their investments on the Blackberry.

(highly obscure reference for Dems to suss out)

No fair, I was still asleep. Australians get everything first. By the time I get a sunrise it's already been used up like a Dollar rent-a-car.

Looks like the new bridge is going to have windows

Is that a house straddling the stream?? If so, what is the large vehicle doing inside the house?

Being a red neck, my first thought was to sell nightcrawlers and tackle in the kitchen, and let tourists fish out of the bay window in the livingroom. You know, sell chips and beers, NFL on the big screen.

Backing the F-150 into the garage would be a [censored] tho'.

This thread is far more entertaining when Dems is taken out of context:

Hey dude, if you are going to go, go long, or stay on the porch!

I ..........., would eat a human.....pussy. If i had too. But only the larger muscle; peckers......

Timothy "TaterTot" Treadwell

OMG! "TaterTot" Treadwell LMAO!

What a head case. I'm not so sure who deserves to be eaten alive by a Kodiak Bear but Treadwell had to be in the top ten. Right ahead of 'Rolexaward'.

There really is no excuse, in an 'all things being equal' situation for humans to give cause to be molested by bear. Without knowing the particulars I would wager 90% or higher can be blamed on "human error" which is the technical vernacular for "Stooooooooopid". If you want to hunt them, study them, tag them, cull them, professionally photograph them, all pursuits that involve 'tracking them', then you would have to go through extensive training to do so. If you'd like to stay alive. To merely occupy the same terrain and avoid them? Purdy easy.

My first trip to Kenai, I was naive and kind of, well, scared shitless. It was suggested by friends I carry a sidearm if comfortable (unless it's a 44 Magnum long rifle or similar you aren't going to kill any bear, a Glock 40 S&W is nothing more than a dandy noise maker, better utilized in the vertical than the horizontal, so subsequently I just carried an air horn) and all my friends had a lot of photos of big animals on the Salmon rivers. I brought two small girls, my kids, and thought Jesus, they are going to be bear candy.

I talked to a Warden/Ranger my first morning confessing my noobness and thought I would get a suggestion to "get out flatlander, while you still can" but what I did get was a very enthusiastic 15 minute chalk talk and the 5 point primer to 'Bear Survival';

I'll be damned, worked like a charm. Encountered a lot of bear since, no problema. It's like the ocean, you just have to remember; In downtown Sidney and Anchorage you are the top of the food chain. On the Barrier Reef and on The Russian River, you are not. Think like a 'varmint'. Awareness, judgement, respect.

Treadwell. Hmmmmm, a city dweller, drug dealer and recovered crack head. In an environment where 'judgement' is a better weapon than a Glock, that man was born grossly un-armed.

Oh well, once again; Darwin was proved right.

If your richest relative has to back up Thanksgiving dinner in their new house because it fell through a bridge before closing?

You may be a red neck.

Good Lord! Where do you load the rounds!? TRL and everything!

Late summer, next to a salmon stream? With that look in her eyes? Hmmmmmm.

You might get as close as 30 feet, then she'd accelerate about as fast as greyhound, one big leap and she'd be on you. If you're lucky the impact would knock you unconscious as you hit the ground with her on you, and you wouldn't feel it as she tore into you. When you were no longer a threat she'd probably wander back to the river, because there's tastier food readily available. But if she was hungry, or old with bad teeth, then she'd probably eat the tasty parts.

I had heard bear, in a pinch, would eat a human. If it had too. But only the larger muscle groups; lumbar, thigh, calves. Which I can relate to, I don't do lips, snouts, or peckers either. I think most bear attack are over 'threat' elimination; cubs, food, pussy (rut). I would wager the last cogent thing that goes through a bear attack victim's mind is "Whoa, cool! If I get just a little closer, these pics will be awesome!" then the running, screaming and the dying.

Then again, you know what one polar bear said to the other as they devoured an igloo and all the inhabitants; " I love these things! Crrrrrrrrunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle!"

I had one j and it ran well when I owned it and still runs well for the new owner. The subdial spacing was not an issue for me until I tried a sec @ 6 (which died after 9 mos) then I decided I wouldn't, couldn't, go back to the flawed dial.

What's the stall with the modified 7750 that would retain secs @9 but tighten subdial spacing here? That bit of news was a tease. There are a lot of great watches that could benefit from that mvmnt.

Whoa, 'bear dude' got a hot wife!

Thanks Col. that was fun........................

Great intel. You da' man!

'DW' = David Wong, a source for vintage Daytona accoutrement, dials and case sets that are necessary to replicate the subdial spacing and the asymmetrical pusher arrangement of the Valjoux 72 movement used in the vintage.

Halo's suggestion of contacting member 'spinmaster' to source a complete piece is a standard and tried route. Or, other opportunities present themselves from time to time. <link>

This is a very costly endeavor to do properly.

Good luck.

Price. I realize why it is at a premium, and I realize that it needn't be.

My name is 'Demsey'. I'm a closet, gen quartz fan.
