  1. I saw this on another watch board and thought it was interesting :)

    The power reserve chrono has a lot of Sinn U1 influence and if it was not so busy I would be pretty interested! I have to wonder if these are from a former rep factory (but since i don't read Thai...)???

    http://www.plazeon.com/index_th.htm

    It was created by a Thai watch lover. Has nothing to do with any rep maker.

    The picture on the homepage is long awaited prototype watch. The one that is available is Chrono-Momento II. You can click the link to see.

    Once, the prototype watch is available, I will be interested to get one. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

  2. This watch is definitely off my list. No matter how nice it looks, if the watch is unreliable, I'm not interested. I hate the feeling that it's going to die while it’s on my wrist.

    There are other nice reps coming out every month. Quality of new reps is getting better and better. A $200+ gorgeous watch as paperweight is utterly nonsense. :thumbdown:

  3. Very nice IWC collection. Congratulations. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    I had a look at the orginal blue hands yesterday. Yours looks very close to the real deal, which was offered at $4600. A couple of minor cosmetic diiferences are hard to spot.

    The only thing that stops me from getting this rep is Asian 7750 with second dial on 6.

    I wonder if rep with swiss 7750 is going to be better.

  4. So, not to simplify this too much, and with tongue firmly in cheek, we saw a bad guy over there in Iraq terrorizing women and children, raping and murdering, filling mass graves, and we put a damn stop to it.

    Unfortunately, in real life the damsel in distress doesn't always kiss the hero on the cheek. Sometimes she uses roadside bombs and nails his butt as he rides out of town.

    Not everyone wants to be saved. But dang it, we tried. :(

    Do you honestly believe that?

    Was it not because of Iraqi's oil field, or unfinished business of the Bush family, or...? :whistling:

  5. You walk into a room in which there are three primates: a chimpanzee, an orangutan, and a gorilla. The chimpanzee is holding a banana in each hand, the orangutan is holding a big stick, and the gorilla is holding nothing. Which primate in the room is the smartest?

  6. Suppose there are 2 red-eyed monks on the island and

    you're one of them. Before the visitor arrives you always assume that the

    red-eyed monk you observe is the only monk with red eyes -- ie, you're

    safe. (That monk is of course thinking the same thing about you.) When

    the visitor announces that there are red eyes on the island you expect

    the *one* (so you think) red-eyed monk to commit suicide. When they

    don't, you realize you're in trouble. They must have been watching

    someone else and waiting for that person to commit suicide. The only

    person that they could have been watching is you -- you can see that

    everyone else on the island has brown eyes so that rules them out. So

    because the other red-eyed monk didn't kill himrself on day 1, you deduce

    on day 2 that your eyes are red and you kill yourself. The other monk

    went through identical reasoning watching you and so will also commit

    suicide on day 2.

    Supposing there are 3 red-eyed monks, each is watching the other 2 and

    expecting, by the reasoning above, that they will both die on day 2. When

    they don't, he concludes that they must not be watching just each

    other. Since it's symmetric, the other 2 monks are each watching you and

    the other one and thinking the same thing. Hence, you all 3 know to kill

    yourselves by the 3rd day. etc...

    WINNER :3a:

    What happens to the brown eyes monks?

  7. There is an island of monks where everyone has either brown eyes or red eyes. Monks who have red eyes are cursed, and are supposed to commit suicide at midnight. However, no one ever talks about what color eyes they have, because the monks have a vow of silence. Also, there are no reflective surfaces on the whole island. Thus, no one knows their own eye color; they can only see the eye colors of other people, and not say anything about them. Life goes on, with brown-eyed monks and red-eyed monks living happily together in peace, and no one ever committing suicide. Then one day a tourist visits the island monastery, and, not knowing that he's not supposed to talk about eyes, he states the observation "At least one of you has red eyes." Having acquired this new information, something dramatic happens among the monks.

    What happens? :g:

  8. Glad you liked it :D

    I thought I was in for a stoning for a while there :blink:

    Ken ;)

    :D Don't worry Ken. I did not quite get the point there since English isn't my first.

    Anyway, Keep them coming. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    BTW, I came across some questions, which I do not have/ know answers. What to try them?

  9. The fact that noone said you couldn't see the spare hats.

    Ok then if everyone is trying to be first then everyone will guess what colour hat they have on. If you are wearing a white hat then the person wearing the black hat will say black, as that is the only possibility. If there is hesitancy and noone KNOWS what colour hat they have on then you must be wearing black, as it is the only option where NOONE would KNOW what they are wearing.

    You would see a black and a white.

    The person wearing black would see a black and a white

    the person wearing white would see a black and a black

    Hence none of you would KNOW what colour of hat you have on.

    So if you are wering black then noone knows what colour they are wearing, hence upon the hesitancy you can assume you are wearing a black hat.

    If you are wearing a white hat then, the person wearing a black hat KNOWS HE MUST be wearing black.

    Perfect! since Edge answered correctly first. Winner!! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

  10. Wow wow wow wow. I am gonna pull a puggy here, and demand to be crowned winner for giving the CORRECT answer.

    There must be 2 spare hats, therefore depending upon the colour of the spare hats, you can determine the colour of your own. No if's, no but's, no maybe's this is CORRECT lol.

    That'd be too easy for you. :thumbdown:

    No, you can not see the spare hats.

  11. There are 5 hats 3 black and 2 white. If one of the other guys is wearing a white hat, then look at the 2 spare hats, if one is white you MUST be wearing a black hat, if they are both black you must be wearing a white hat.

    There is only one answer. No if clauses. :bleh:

    Hint: Everyone wants to be the first to answer it correctly. :yeah:

  12. Well i don't see anywhere in the question where it says you're not allowed to ask one of the others what hat you have on, not to mention you would have to see it when you are putting it on.

    Hints for mine........................well it not a serious question.

    Ken

    Well, if you can take the hat off and look or ask the others, then it would not be good question for you guys. :bangin:

    Come on, you can not ask others or send any signal and you can not take the hat off to see. :whistling:
