Yup. That's awesome. No doubt.

".............many choices to choose from.............." Oh. Is that how that works? You really have to visit the third world anymore if you want to experience a real human being. This person belongs in a zoo.

My browser could not make the link, however, I have a genuine 6263 from '72 that probably isn't even worth that. Either this is a typographical error or 'replica' is being re-termed. 'freddy333' is your best bet for infos., others will chime in shortly I would imagine.

QUICK! PM 'Omni' ! Never one to pass up a Martini of Opportunity. Strategically placed shakers about town, Sapphire Gin at the ready, raining ice cubes from the heavens, 'shaken and/or stirred' included. Sounds like another winner Alaskan Festival in the making!

Which one? The blonde or the brunette? I don't care what those Neocons are saying. Other than the 2 month wait, this 'socialized' medicine sounds awesome. Barack is on this! Glad to hear it went well Dani and now you have fighter pilot vision! Thanks for the thread.............

@Stephane I only have a few years on you, but being first generation 'Merican from Britain, my early life was filled with cousins coming over to the US regularly, as well as a stream of 'friends of the family' (beautiful Scottish lassies and English girls) who served as au pair, or 'nannies' to gain Green cards to the US. It helped them having a 'job' lined up and a family sponsor. They all brought Beatles, Kinks, and Stones records over to trade for American releases of Little Richard, Elvis, Beach Boys etc. So that was my introduction. I was only 9, but remember buying Sgt. Pepper's for an outrageous sum of 5.13 usd. Righteous bucks in '67 I can assure you. Most albums were less than three dollars then, we were being gouged because of the hype. I remember loving the record straight off, thinking Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) was the most raucus thing I had ever heard! Later that Summer Rolling Stone (newspaper back then) reported a 'drug influence' and drug references possible on some of those tracks..........I was so crushed as a kid! My Beatles, dopers! The thought scared the hell out of me Oh well. I have read your account here with regard to Paul's Meet and Greet. Sad story! Not so sure you could consider John the affable one. There are countless stories and testimonials of him being a right bastard right from the early days. I think Paul just got jaded as the years took their toll. Everyone wants a piece of Maca. I'll say! I only had one album you could call 'unique', perhaps vauable, out of the usual catalogue; the live performance Live Peace in Toronto: The Plastic Ono Band. The first side was the Beatles concert that never was with Clapton, Alan White (drums) and Hamburg friend Klaus Voorman (bass). It is great. The track "Cold Turkey" had Yoko wailing withdrawl screams in the background. Sounded like someone stepping on a skinned cat. Then the side B; "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand In the Snow) and "John,John (Let's Hope For Peace)" more scream therapy as 'art' for Yoko. I suppose that was just John 'growing'. I loved all his solo projects that were released mainstream especially "Walls and Bridges" which appealed as it was the most 'Beatle like' production piece. "#9 Dream" is missing only George Martin's production hand , Paul's Bass and harmony. A great piece of work. Beautiful. The song "God" stands as the shining moment where I discovered my own personal philosophy had crossed, and momentarliy, I finally understood "Lennon". I'm not so sure where the Beatles would have gone without George Martin. If you give a listen to The Beatles Anthology CD set, a lot of the tracks as 'works in progress', just the raw ideas the group members brought into the studio having recorded them on small cassette recorder 'note books' and reel-to-reels are pretty horrible and far from the polished finished masters. All those horn and string arrangements? Mastery. Way and above the Beatles' early resources as 'musicians'. Speaking of 'raw' <> OK, I think this thread has been stepped on pretty well. Maybe most of this could be transported to "Off Topic" That would be fun. I actually did try and research 'Hesalite' for a good bit this morning, but came up with nothing relative to the composition or to add to the thread. I would be interested in the history of that material. Cursory, it appears it is just an Omega marketing term for 'plexiglass'? Intersting; used specifically in the Moon Watch (and display back delete) as it does not shatter to pieces when broken as would sapphire glass. In zero gravity that c'aint be good....................

Agreed, and that goes too for the efforts we all go to make sure the insert(s) sit below the bezel lip on Rollies during 'mods'. Quite often, mostly on the door set strike plate in the jamb going from room to room, I smack my watch. Every time I think; "That's it, there's no way i'm getting away with it this time........" Still, no marks on the insert!

Oh man, I knew I was going to open Pandora's Box. Now I'm eating my heart out. That is one very impressive collection. I have every Beatle record I ever bought. The first was Revolver the week it broke. Then I bought all the previous retroactively from Woolworths. And then waited with the rest of the world for Sgt. Pepper's. Who knew then how pivotal it would be. At one point I had only Beatles records and a few Disney LP's (Fantasia with the Nutcracker Side Two is an awesome sound track) from childhood to make the entire collection. But, my first phonographs were junk so they are pretty much ruined. I have a old stylus I install just to play those old disks. Funny, the unique *pop and scratch* on the ingrooves and outgrooves of the songs are as nostalgic as the tunes themselves. There is this one sequence of *pop, pop, zzzzzzzzzzzzz, pop, pop, zzzzzzzzzzz, pop, pop zzzzzzzzzzz* right before the opening horns of Magical Mystery Tour that gets my heart racing still anticipating the track. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing I don't absolutely love about this watch! Thanks for the contribution.

THE LAND BRIDGE! I knew it was more than a theory! Well, I did.

Sly boots! Pursuant to Forum Rule #6 is this a back door approach to "Al Gore is Wrong". When the glacial flow makes it down to Nashville during the "New Ice Age" I wonder if the Academy will ask for the Oscar back? Mmmmm, no, they'll just put the film in it's proper category; Best Story.

Whoa. The alternative 'baby jokes' cover for "Yesterday...............And Today". Is that for realz? Nice watch too, but I'd rather have that pressing.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Glacier Mints! And just so the Left Wing Moonbats don't feel left out;

Dude! Close call! Glad you are OK. What kind of vehicles were involved? I only ask because I'm thinking of downsizing for the family ride, but am shy about hauling the kids in an uni-body engineered vehicle. 'True frame' is what I drive now. Every bad thing that has ever happened in my life involved alchohol somewhere in the chain. Crasy.

I have nothing more to add.

Love it. Did you have to mod to get the gen insert to fit? I think the NATO would suit this perfectly, especially as you upgraded the spring bars............ but yes, the bracelets are classic. Congrats.

Now that is funny! .......and with a cymbal crash too!

Yes, well, that would be you merely misunderestimating me. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go sew some bed sheets together. Besides, this is cutting into my O'Reilly Factor time.

Zzzzzzzzzz and what if W. went on Leno and stated in front of 5.7 million members of the Union "I bowl like I should be on the Special Olympic team [sic] duuuuuuuuuuuuuh I'm a retard!" and then laughed about it? What would you and the media myrmidon's have said about 43 then? Because you're surely not saying anything about that or Billy D. Williams reading off the PM of Ireland's teleprompter on St. Patty's. That's the point, without the teleprompter he's just a pretty lawyer, better suited to the cover of Jet than the Oval Office because there is no 'POTUS Cam' in there. is not a politcal philosophy and hardly a political platform, but is exactly why he was elected. That and a slogan that was slightly better than 'Coke! It's the real thing!"

Yes. They are all excellent. At this point you may want to shop by 'price' and preferred regional 'accent'.

That's funny. The 'spin' is getting hilarious; the Right Wing in the street prefaces every comment with, "Did you hear what the Teleprompter said today about AIG!? I can't believe the Teleprompter is going to give the Treasury Secretary full power over every public financial entity about to default. That Teleprompter is one Left Wing piece of electronics. What will he make the President say next?!" Speaking of AIG, this has got to hurt; if the corporation was bailed out by US tax money, levied from the citizenry, the people of the United States, in legal effect 'own' AIG and it's subsidiaries benefitting from TARP by proxy. I wonder what the Brits think about us owning the Manchester United?

Some of his first run are <here>. Already seems a pro with the 'build' as a system. He may need a direction with marketability; what people want. Sometimes the craftsman's vision is not what the market will support. It's like popular music. If people want to help with the venture, they should 'think tank' in this thread.

Me too. Do an RWG fountain pen Meisterstuck homage pen Pho! You wouldn't have to prove your bravery in any other way. A run of about 300 awta do.

For some reason, this list brought to mind two films that I haven't thought about recently, but they left mental scars. Not horror films, at all, but both speak of the resident evil we all harbor, but if you are lucky enough, events and the fates will not bring them to surface in your life time. They are in the vein of Fargo; Sam Raimi; A Simple Plan with Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda James Foley; At Close Range with Christopher Walken and the Penn brothers After those films you just look at common people differently. You just go; "Whoa, the human race really is just junk".

Yo! Not really as you can indeed source that genuine in 'quartz', altho' yes, many here regard those engines as 'souless'. However you can rest assured if any of them have jobs or incomes that rely on they're being on time? Quartz is the way to go..............now if you had bought a quartz Submariner? Definate *noobie mistake*. Yeah, a cooler watch, a better way to go............ It really has nothing to do with tracking 'time' per se`. It's all about the chicks man. Chicks dig sport watches. Expensive sport watches.
