Chronus

As I said, an iPhone isn't for me for a number of reasons. Once they fix up those issues I will be happy to get one The N900 looks really good to me though. The SE Satio is for photos, as the Blackberry does everything I want it to already. Of course the N900 will do more and has a better camera though.

Lovely watch And goes to show reps lead to gens !

You can get a used U1 for just under 700GBP on bracelet... they pop up from time to time, and the reps will never be able to properly replicate the U-boat steel.

Pug?

Thanks for that, I may have to try it out Can I triple boot (and triple partition) a Solid State Drive with Linux, Windows and OSX? Edit: Will this work on an Intel i7, triple channel 12gb memory, nVidia 295 1.8gb graphics card?? Or on an old AMD Athlon 64 processor ?

I have a Blackberry Bold and a Nokia N82, the latter of which has come up for an upgrade from the phone company. My contract is done for the past couple of months and I'm pretty much waiting until October when the Nokia N900 internet tablet comes out as well as the Sony Ericsson Satio. If I don't go for a phone, I have the option of reducing my monthly bill by an amount as well. The Blackberry takes care of multitasking: web browsing, messenger services, push email, divx/xvid viewing, mobi pocketbook reader, 16gb memory card etc. What it lacks is a good camera. The Nokia N82 is my camera. I have no other, so I am a little wary of going to the excellent looking Nokia N900 (with an open source OS) as it is a slight downgrade in the camera department. It has the same 5MP camera but no xenon flash, only a dual LED flash. I am tempted as it just looks so good with it's multitasking capabilities, 256mb RAM, upto 1gb of application space, 32gb onboard storage, true desktop web-browsing with Flash and multiple pages open concurrently, big screen, touchscreen, but hardware keyboard if i need it, as I've never had a touchscreen before. I like the possibilities of doing computer geeky stuff if I want, installing things like Mame and DOS emulation etc. It has Skype and Messenger services integrated. If it has Push email it could even tempt me off the Blackberry (but that keyboard is great so I doubt it just yet!). I like that it has native Xvid and DivX support too. FLAC would be nice and I understand applications from the previous non-telephone tablet N800 and N810 are being ported over by the original makers, and most (if not all) applications will be free. The live updates of things like Twitter and Facebook (if you like that sort of thing) is pretty good but I'm sure other phones do that already. I found videos which show how it works and they look quite good: 3 videos of the N900 What do you think? I went for the N82 as I liked the camera and the Sony Ericsson Satio sems to fit the bill. Sounds like a normal point and shoot Sony style camera with the latest version of Symbian touch (as seen on the N97) as well. The plus for me is that this has an active lens cover with both Xenon flash and LED (probably for video recording?). I'm a little wary of SE products at the moment as their quality seems to have dropped, but if this one proves to be as good as it sounds, it may well be the one to replace my N82. It does have obvious downsides like lower RAM than the N900, barely any onboard storage, and finally they're using microSD cards and not the M2s. I still don't like their proprietary port though. USB is much more convenient. I could use my spare Blackberry charger at work for both as it's USB and it also came with attachments for European and US power. I await the reviews of the finalised phones ... who knows, I may not even bother upgrading! What are everyone's thoughts on these phones coming out ? Anyone excited by any of them ? (I've ignored most of the Samsung ones as they sadly have no lens cover on their cameras ) PS. please, no one tell me to get the iPhone, it's not quite right for me yet - no hardware keyboard, no mass storage mode, no hot swappable microSD card support, no native DivX/XviD support, I don't want iTunes on my computer ever again etc etc. As good as it is, it's just not for me

The bezel marker is a must if you want it closer to the genuine

Does it use the tegimented U-boat steel and a caseful of argon gas with the capsule to display that it's completely dry? Scratch that, the last 2 are on the U2. And this watch will need great AR too

Not quite, I think Tanfoglio takes that award in every category But this is a great collection nonetheless

Stephane has a GMT for sale I think, and is in EU.

gen caseback is 1200

nice

or check the trading zone. People like Concepta and River have movements every so often. There is also the gen movement route... I have a 1570 and 3035 movement unused (so far!) but for the watches your replacing the movements in, it probably isn't worth going down that road.

That's very good news... as they say, all good things come to those who wait

1665

Those hanging Daytonas have to go on my screensaver!

The way I think of it in my head is that 2 of the subdials look like targetting sights. As freddy said, it's all in the subdials. Personally I like the Newman dials as they are just that little bit different and look great

Can't wait to see what kruzer does with his phong case

Good to see the project is moving along... i hope the finished watch will be amazing

There *are* tritium dials that are still white... just means they aren't exposed to the elements as much, so to say. Ie. the crown is screwed down properly! Much rarer to find them, but find them you can...

from wiki:

Coolfire's is the first and last of his vintagized dials... it's too expensive a process to be worthwhile! And I recommend spinmeister as well... go for his 7760 version and you'll get a very close one. And ask for that particular dial, I've seen that on one of his other watches I think but if you really wanna go crazy, i can get a gen case for around 10-11k

thanks for the advice

Yuki are based in Hong Kong. No idea if they get the Vietnamese cases or not. Only source I know for definite is jewelry & watch. Freddy333 would probably know.
