  1. Look at this topic I posted earlier in the summer: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;hl=stainless
  2. I'm serious, I haven't been wearing SS watches most of the summer Someone had the solution to coat the caseback with clear nail varnish, but I just switched to titanium in the mean time.
  3. I can't answer your question about the weight, but I get a similar rash, and it is due to the nickel content of the stainless steel used. Throughout the summer I have been wearing titanium watches. That's why I'm hoping the PAM194 comes out in titanium. You may want to try titanium and see how it is, otherwise get tested for allergies.
  4. I got a cousin in Denver. I think I need to invite myself over
  5. With Chinese translations, a friend lent me a pirate (Chinese) copy of the Charlize Theron movie "Monster". This was before it was officially released on DVD, and they'd put together their own cover, and had the blurb "Absolutely Hilarious" - for those that don't know, it is a very serious movie. Maybe it was referring to the English subtitles which looked like it was translated from Chinese to pidgin Engrish! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
  6. I'll stick to tickling the fallopian tubes. Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
  7. Exactly! I can get a PAM187 (when it's eventually with 7753) and put that on a military strap, that is enough of a SS fix for the heft and weight. The 194 in SS just won't do it for me Dammit, it's not fair! All summer I have been wearing only titanium watches to avoid these rashes etc.
  8. Does god exist? Xabi Alonso just scored from 70 yards against Newcastle. His 2nd goal from his own half in the space of under a year. Surely a legend. Where's docblackrock?
  9. But then the question would be, "Who created these aliens?" And from there, "Who created the creator of these aliens?" And so on.
  10. Nice one This is on my list (after I sell my gen and get some money in!), but not sure whether to get the grey dial, or the Ayrton Senna version. I like the Senna version but not sure that it is as accurate as the standard one.
  11. God created man, or did Man create god ? Or did the two create each other and cannot survive without the other ? Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
  12. Maybe... but the influence of Ancient Greek culture still pervades. So does Persian and Middle-Eastern. What great contributions to mathematics, literature and poetry (The Iliad, to name but one), Philosophy (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle), etc etc. The influence can be good but not the unquestioning belief of "I was born <religion> therefore that is what I am, and all others are wrong". Just some fluke of luck that you were born on one side of the globe and not another. You do know that the Catholic Church has built up untold riches over it's dominion over the world ? South America didn't lose their gold because they dropped it all in the ocean by mistake. Some popular beliefs over the centuries by religions (mostly Judaic). - The earth is flat ("four corners of the earth", etc) - Witches - Devil(s)/demons - Christmas (conveniently at the end of Saturnalia) - Easter: what does this have to do with Eostre/Ishtar and the celebrations that accompanied this goddess? - other similar retaining of "inferior pagan" religions (many churches in the ancient times were just converted temples from the original religions). etc etc At the end of it all, a creator god is just a hypothesis to explain the unexplainable and to sate people's curiosity. However this appears to me to have led to controlling mechanisms (modern religions) which work with other mechanisms such as government and society. One question these religions have never answered to me in a satisfactory manner, "If God created everything, then who created God?"
  13. Keep The Zigmeister's posts alive! I admit I have them saved in case they disappear again, like they did in the old RWG.
  14. The problem here is that it HAS worked, with the formation of Israel and the bombings by the then terrorists on the British. The IRA saw that worked and obviously took it from there. The pity is that man-made religions are used as a tool of control, with so many restrictions that, for example, led to the stagnation of Ancient Greece as the pre-eminent civilization, as they embraced Christianity. The Judaic religions are the first to outlaw homosexuality to be seen as different, and christianity went on to ban the other religions and "demonize" the popular Gods, such as Pan, who is now the image of the devil (even though scripturally, neither the devil or hell exists in judaism, christianity or islam). Funny how these, initially polytheistic, religions have worked politically to gain the positions that they hold today. All justified by a bunch of myths and fables - children's stories Great read though.(PS. I havent read all the pages, got to page 2 and posted and now have to get back to work!)
  15. I'm in for the Power Reserve and 2 GMT models, whichever this applies to ... but take your time so I can get the money together
  16. Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
  17. Great, send me a mail (via RWG) and it's easier. Thanks!
  18. Dammit, I picked Stockholm over Oslo for this trip! fitmic, I'd love to suggest a very mini-RWG meet but my friend coming along is a non-watch fan!
  19. Ok hope it'll be good there and not too cold by then. Any tips on Swedish girls ? And does anyone here live in Stockholm?
  20. Will this be out in titanium ? I get allergic reactions to SS
  21. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Check this girl out here too. She's very nice, though from southern Europe
  22. Thanks for the advice! I won't be looking for reps, we have great dealers here already and besides money is tight! For accomodation I have found some boats in the harbour that do rooms for 30GBP per night, which is more around how much I want to spend. If single rooms arent cheap I can share a twin (separate beds) rooms with my friend. I keep hearing everywhere that it is expensive there. A guy at work says a mcdonalds meal (say 6 Euro here in London) is around 18 Euros there! Not that I want mcdonalds food, I prefer proper restaurants
