Chronus

Because they are snobs! If you ever do a London meet let me know

Great I would suggest North London Just don't wear your Barcelona shirts

I was watching the big game and didnt know until late yesterday Someone please introduce me to a sexy blonde Scandinavian woman so I can recreate yesterday with authenticity.

Correct. The newer 250/251 look similar and have recessed/grey subdials, so if you prefer that look, wait for that, but who knows how long a rep of those will take to come out.

With the skill, I mean flying it so flat and low to the ground that it would have brushed the tree tops. That is amazing really. And it must have been for some stretch as well, you can't dive down at a 45 degree angle and suddenly flatten out, especially as they had just trained in Cessna's on little poxy private training courses. The margin for error is zero. Just amazing.

I've seen the video. I think what he meant was the trajectory was too low as the object/plane (unclear in the pictures) was flying in at tree-top/below radar level. On some level, you have to admire an amateur pilot with little real training able to fly in a commercial airliner with such skill. I doubt (m)any commercial pilots with similar training could have pulled it off. Amazing really. If that pilot had contributed to the world in a different way... maybe he could have been a stunt pilot or something.

The "authorities" could employ someone to read posts and to imitate Blade, or coerce Blade himself to co-operate in a plea-bargain or something. Second thing, is it possible to get a copy of the database and transfer old posts here?

I have a genuine quartz Tag Heuer Link Chronograph. The subdial placements are different. The hour hand is also independently adjustable. I've never worn it and been too lazy so far to put it up in TimeZone's sales corner, but I should.

I think most people can... the brain's autocorrect function is far superior to mickeysofts.

So blade really is back?

It's a Grade AAA+++ Swiss replica !!! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

replicacentre is a scam set up to recommend sites that they own and brand almost everything a scam. That way other scam sites lose business, and any "good" sites they hear of can be labelled a scam. Why pay $1000 for junk when u can pay around double that for a used R*l*x? Do some research and find out about replicacenter... why would u believe them to be honest? Why believe anyone in this "business" to be honest? You have to make up your mind, and if you believe the spiel of replicacenter and want to go with their recommendations, that's your decision and your loss.

oh... i thought that's where reps were made

Hardly anyone notices what I'm wearing.... so it is therefore more for self-satisfaction than showing it off as it once was - because no one looks or cares!

Should the P and the O of the Planet Ocean on the case back be larger than the rest of the letters? I'm not sure. I can't remember if there should be a border around the triangle on the bezel too. Someone with PO expertise, please let me know, thanks.

Nice... how close is it to the real thing ?

Didn't notice this before, but this hand swap wouldn't work. All it would do is make the GMT hand act as an hour hand, and the hour hand would then be in position to act as a 24 hour hand. It would still revolve around 24 hours instead of 12 hours as the genuine Omega GMT. The genuine Omega GMT does not use an ETA 2893 movement, it is an in-house mostly Omega movement, probably a very heavily modified ETA ebauche. This one has independently adjustable hour hand, backwards and forwards. There is no quick set, and a full 24 hours (from 12 o'clock) has to be clicked round to advance the date by one day. I know you're putting in genuine parts to your GMT watch. No idea how much everything is costing you, but a second hand one in great condition is around USD1000 at most, fair condition you may get one for USD700-800 on eBay. Timezone's sales corner is worth taking a look at if you go that route. Back to the 2893, the 2nd crown position will allow advancing of the 24 hour hand in one direction only. Turning the crown in the opposite direction will advance the date. Hope this helps anyone interested.

I was wondering the same thing. I am one with a big signature, and no one has complained to me yet, although I think I am more critical of it myself! Are there any qualifiers that can be added to the img tags such as size as a percentage (%) or pixel size as in standard html? Thanks.

Not to be facetious, but I think he is as addicted to buying watches as we all are. I await his reply when he is around.

Oooooooooooooooooou

Davidsen has the correct hands fo USD45 i think. All readily superlumed too.

Maybe someone who has regular phone contact with him, or one of the mods from the other board would be able to find out. I've never dialled his number, and it would be rude of me to do so, especially in this instance. Hope everything will be made clear, and everyone knows what they let themselves in for next time, so they don't feel ripped off.

Shouldn't be too difficult as it's the usual Panerai tactic (scam?) to just make minor changes and put it out as a whole brand new watch while possibly discontinuing the previous model. Not sure if the old cases are still available for manufacture of these new 250s and 251s though ...

True, if that's just for opening up the watch and cleaning the dial of dust that was there when it arrived... not so good if it's an excess charge on say a crystal repress or re-lume, where the crystal would be removed in any case. I'm not sure how the charge works, but it doesn't look good as a separate charge. I'm pretty sure The Zigmeister does it as a matter of course when opening up a watch, as well as re-greasing o-rings, all as a matter of courtesy with no extra charge.

I can't believe I'm quoting myself, but the last comment is not about me, I have never had mods done... yet. And would look closer to home in the EU first. At the moment it's PAMs so finepics is the man for that. Movement servicing has to be The Zigmeister in my opinion.
