  1. Thanks! I'm taking advantage of the Orange Wednesdays half-price offer (to save some money) so I'll be watching on Wednesdays, so it looks like I've missed out on "The Departed", but will be go to see "Saw 3" tonight (my sister wants to, saw the first 2 with her too), and next Wednesday I can see "Borat", then the following one will be 007
  2. Would you find "violent" avatars more shocking? I would think that kids would miss the humour in some of those. There was a recent one with a gun pointed at a cat and the caption "Send me my watches or the cat gets it". Would this not be seen as distressing to many kids, more-so than TwoTone's avatar (when many parents seem to dress like that in front of their kids anyhow?). It seems like this just reflects the society and where people are from... Just playing devil's advocate, now off to bed finally at 5:30am... gotta wake up in 2 hours for work
  3. Flaws have already been gone through... As for versions, I think this is the only one. TTK's one is slightly different as he gets the bezel aligned, but it's still the same version as the rest. The price disparity is probably dependent upon the individual dealer's cost and profit margins I would think.

    Go on, give it a shot, that's great value for money
  5. At that price, I'd expect it's only Asian movement ? I see Joshua has a "ladies" version with ETA movement that looks like this: http://perfect-clones.com/lv10003-trambour...6712-p-669.html Is this the same thing ?
  6. I really liked Hitman 2 when that first came out... it was great that you could complete many missions a different number of ways. Great atmosphere. Hitman Contracts seemed to have that "x factor" missing from Hitman 2 but was still fun though. Hope this new one is good. I haven't really played much in the way of games apart from on my phone (!) and quick MAME stuff (real good stuff!) every now and again. I think the last "proper" games I played was the Knights of the Old Republic Series - my first ever RPGS - and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas which I went partway through. Great game though!
  7. I would advise that you wait. You don't normally get all the great games coming out at the beginning, there will be a limited range... so leave it until after Christmas, prices will come down and more games will be out. Spend the savings on more watches instead! And get the latest Hitman game
  8. A couple of questions:- 1- Who did you get this from? 2- How much?
  9. Pardon the stupid question and inherent laziness inferred... when does it come out in London ?
  10. Well mine is as boring as it gets... Newspaper Delivery Technician ("Paperboy") Worked in 7/11 DJ (radio and parties/clubs) Music reviewer General temp admin work - database administration Web designer Finished Physics degree from a top university (in reality, skip all lectures and DJ/record shop or play basketball - I was good enough for the university team back then ) Professional bum (ie. unemployed while looking for that "perfect" job that never materialised) Credit Controller And now to the current job ... Financial Systems Management Apart from DJing, all the jobs have been single figures per hour, and still is I really need to stop being in this rut and do something with myself
  11. Don't forget that a genuine RXW Marina Militare also has proper water resistance and quality control processes, as well as a good strap(s) that come with it.
  12. Wish I'd known that before I started buying reps and watches and everything else! I remember having a conversation with ThomasNg (he of AP fame).. and worked out with all the money I spent on reps (in the space of less than a year), I could have had a genuine AP Royal Oak. It went on, and I felt that I wouldn't be comfortable wearing a $10k watch around the place unless I could afford to replace it easily if lost, and I also like to have lots to change through. Reps allow me to wear something that is more within the range I am comfortable with, while still having that name on it. I have genuine watches which cost a lot more, but I seem to be wearing reps a lot more. Last Thursday and Friday I wore my genuine Zentih Rainbow El Primero, but this week so far has been the rep Breitling Avenger Seawolf, and tomorrow may be back to the PAM036 or PAM063, who knows? One thing I DO know is that this hobby (addiction) is bad for my bank balance. Wait a minute, what bank balance? There's nothing left...!
  13. Thing pulled me away (apart from no money!) was no display back, but then that's personal choice. I get a nickel allergy from SS in the summer so it would be in hibernation during the summer months
  14. If it's a genuine RXW, no reluming necessary. There are rep RXWs of their version of the PAM127 though. That will be a standard rep.
  15. I would think it would be the same hobnail dial as the PAM028 used, with the extra done on top.
  16. Try the Chanel J12, mens size is 38mm, and women's size is 33mm I think. Paul, silix, Joshua, River and EL have their versions of it. Good versions are not cheap, but it stands out. Silix and Joshua have the same top end version of theirs, and I think River and EL have different top end versions. All say theirs is the best though. Hey, part of the fun with reps is to find the best one, right ?
  17. Some may have recently noticed that I have shown an interest in the ceramic Chanel J12 model. One thing that would not bother me is to have that watch without the Chanel on the dial... Any versions of this out without that on the dial ? With as good quality ceramics? The (good) rep is supposed to use the same quality ceramics. I guess that goes to show it is not always the brand. I admit when I first got a R*l*x rep (first ever rep) I was in a bit of the "I've got a R*l*x, I want to show off" mode but that wore off when I found other watches I like even more - IWC, Panerai, Omega, Breitling, etc etc
  18. I feel humbled to be mentioned with everyone else here - I'm just the joker in the pack! There are so many that give this place character ... don't forget people like Veni, Kruzer00, finepics, archibald, jonathan, dawidws, even the dealers contribute from time to time: eddielee, narikaa and TTK seem to get stuck in etc. There are so many to name. I haven't been back on the old RWG in a while... too many windows open and this computer starts screwing up but I may pop in just as a spectator one of these days...
  19. Why ARE you getting reps instead of these more reliable department store watches?
  20. True, or we could all get the same watch with Invicta (or another brand) on the dial Pepsi Seiko anyone?
  21. I think EL's 15 on the bezel looks a lot better, and Joshua's is what it should be.
