  1. Thanks, try it first, it has been a while since i have written html. the code will often change and different browsers might handle things differently
  2. <a href="your link.htm" target="_blank"><img src="www.picture.com/photo.jpg"></a> use the img src instead of the click me text
  3. is this for a forum response? if so, it's more due to forum and browser settings. what i put up was the HTML code you'd write in a webpage for example, all links i click on in here open in a new firefox tab
  4. <a href="your link.htm" target="_blank">Click here</a> _blank will open a new window
  5. Damn Straight! there has been a lack ot bond toys for quite a while now... I have one of these somewhere Battery life was 3-4 months, pictures were black and white, very low res, and about the size of a postage stamp, but for a few years, i had the only spy camera on my wrist. http://www.tvhistory.tv/Smallest%20TV.htm Now this is amazing, a TV watch, from 1982 (Also featured in Bond films)
  6. Yep, 22mm is "to fit 22mm" as they will be smaller to remove them, and larger when locked in, so "suitable for" is the best way to describe them
  7. That's exactly what i'm after, a BR03, - 92? pvd and the nylon strap, is it the blue edition, or white but blue lume?
  8. Make an ad, and put it on eBay, this time tomorrow you'll be world famous
  9. http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/116676.../showimage.html Breitling style i think
  10. It will have a label for customs with a description and a value. This is needed. Often it will be low value, and description will just be watch, sometimes gift too.
  11. Ive been here a few more days that you, and all it has brought is problems, within a day or 2, you'll have a list of 5 must have watches, and that'll be at 10 by the end of the month! "Kid in a candy shop" has never been so apt! Members here don't usually recommend vendors, probably as there as so many good ones linked to here, to favor one would be a disservice to the others, but look though the collectors section. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showforum=198 There are also members selling their own watches to watch out for. Take a bit of time to look round the Breitling section to get the inside track on what's hot and what's not.
  12. Second picture seems to show it pushed down. It's not a pusher, it is a secondary crown which shoud turn the inner bezel. The colours are a very good combo though
  13. 2 Bell & Ross BR01-92's have turned up on ebay, both with blue markings, and the usual no papers/box. Engraved allen screws give away one, based in Finland http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=230312214759 but the description is taken from a rep site, and it's quite obvious. Low price, obvious rep, which i suppose anyone should realise from the advert. Onto the next one - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=270312282371 The same watch, no box/papers again, but with a private auction that has reached
  14. Am i glad i found this place! I always new there would be a decent unbiased, open and independent forum for the higher grade replicas. I started with an NYC Quartz/Miyota Breitling emergency many years ago, it served me well, about 8 years on the original battery until a knock chipped the crystal, and later that day, a subdial bezel came off and started to float around the dial. It was a poor rep by the standards i now know, SS plated brass braclet, and the dial was a Chronomat GT. I did almost get a replacement for it, a twin LCD emergency, but a poor backing on one of the LCD dials, and the LCD was reversed, ie, black numerals on a grey/green background. My schooldays of taking calculators apart allowed me to almost fix this by using a different polaroid filter to swap to black background and transparent numerals, but reassembling ended up with loose hands, and eventually a bent cannon pin! No wonder there isn't a watchmaker's course that you can do in a day! Still, it was nice to see the inner workings, even if it was a quartz movement. I'm now on the lookout for replacements (it was to be a replacement, but there are far too many "must have" watches) I suppose my current style is military or special features, i've come to the conclusion that there are no decent Emergency copies about, but the Bell & Ross lines, Hublot's BB, GMT II Pepsi's, and Panerai's rubber or SS bracelet watches catch my eye. Richard Mille's line is also right up my street, so i guess you can get a feel of what's hot in my world. I have seen some horrible disasters out there via google, printed skeleton faces, and some B&R tourbillons with a 3 pointed power reserve and trust dial that i assume constantly move instead of a single pointer. A blind man galloping past on horseback would laugh without even seeing the original. So the time has come now for research, better to wait and learn than to jump in and make a mistake, so don't be put off if you see me lurking in the background, taking notes!
