Installing the latest version of Firefox fixes this issue completely DB and pretty much all the others too! The updates that are being written these days tend to be moving away from the IEbrand browser to the new kids on the block like Mozilla etc. It's totally free to download and use and has some pretty cool features that none of the IE versions have. Sixx

He sure does seem to have a lot of 'mint/new' watches for sale!! Hope it's just the weather guys! I just got stung from a guy on here for a 009. Sixx

SJ, if it's the usual Pikey's you get running the shows you can bet they are Gen!! Those feckers have better eyes than half the experts on here!! Sixx

Hey bud, haven't fogotten your straps, don't worry!1 Yeah these are 1:1 copy bracelets!! You best put aside a good hour if you want to resize it!! lol They are so well made it's not true, with some good cleaning and oiling, they are totally Gen-like!!

Sounds awesome bud!! Glad you got it on there!! Gotta love the curved bracelets for these!! Sixx

That sucks man, you don't expect that when you shell out 6 big bills on a rep!! And you're totally right, being a blind person, I can truthfully say, not even I would have let that pass!!! Sixx

Very nice indeed Jo, sounds like a real winner!! I love the 3 models I have of this Carrera, go with anything!! Wear it in good health bud!! Sixx

After reading through the site a bit, I think this guy is more on our side and doing something very similar to what we do here on this forum! I also think Pug has seen the same and helped him out! Pug is a fantastic guy and one of my favourite members, I don't think he would do anything to jepordise our hobby! Look at it this way, he is telling people what's a rep, a good rep, a great rep, so they don't get taken for a ride! Same with buyers, he is helping the buyer not to get scammed, same as we do here! Only this time it's for people being scammed for gens, I certainly think pretty much all of us are all in for that!! Nothing worse than seeing a rotten rep (they are rarely good reps that try to get plugged as gens) being auctioned on the Bay and loads of people are bidding because they don't know any better, hell we have them reported when they are seen!! This guy is just doing what we do, keep this hobby straight, advertising reps as gens a huge no no, going into ADs with them on etc. Pretty good site I thought, certainly a good one to send the Noobs to for the easy tells!! lol Oh, and totally with Lani on the Chopards!! I have 5 variations of it and love them!! Sixx

I'm a big fan of the Speedy's also. I have the Panda dial 6 9 12 subdial version. Runs like a champ!! I also have this rep, in both Swiss quartz and A7750. I love it, feels really clean and sharp. It's not hugely cluttered on the dial either (got the quartz before I went blind), a lot of chronos can seem real busy, but making the subdial @9 just the 4 lines was a real clever idea!! A service on the A7750 movement and you have an amazing 'bang for buck' super quality rep that will last you a good few years!! Great choice for a first one!! Sixx

Thanks guy's, but all the kudos goes to the 'Bard! His skill and eye was what made it a beaut!! His skill is very impressive indeed, a joy to wear!! Andreww, I'm with you man! I've had the very same conversation with hackR and Lani about it! It makes no sense at all!? I can kinda see why they maybe shied from the bracelets, but a good looking strap like this or Lani's famous HKTan strap, would have sold like crazy if it was availablle! I mean, would you take the PD rubber over the likes of those straps mentioned? I sure wouldn't! Thanks again guy's and if you're stuck for something to go with your's speak with Blackbard, he will make it look sweeeet! Sixx

Hahahaa, maybe a couple of them!! They are Buddist Mala beads, kinda like a Rosary. They are supposed to help with healing etc. They are small skulls hand carved from Ox or Yak bone, well other than the ones that used to grace hackR's cake hole!! I lost a couple so needed spares!! When you are in my state you will take help where you can get it!! That PAM does sound kickass on that bracelet Arty!!!! Gotta love the 112h Red, one of my all time favs!! Sixx

Hike, that strap set on your BS sounds so cool!! Nice catch bud!! Think I'll go Nautical today!! Sixx

Thank you very much gents!! The strap is amzing to wear, so comfy and far better than the Pro Diver strap!! Dudro, it fits the buckle perfectly, so much easier to put on and take off compared to the PD rubber!! Thank you all on the tattoo compliments also!! I do like a bit of ink!! Sixx

Holy crap Red!! Does your Tudor come with radiation sickness pills?!? lol, it sounds like it's a torch dude!! NICE!! Oh, and thank you. I just bought it from Meatwad, loving it loooong time!! Sixx

Narikaa is in the UK and has a range of straps for his POrikaa's! Check him out in the dealers section, there should be pics of the straps in his posts. Is it rubber or leather you're after? I may have one laying around that you would be welcome too. I'll have a rummage and PM you mate. Sixx

Loving it Lani!! Sounds classy! I also like the sound of Hookys that you mentioned, someone else mentioned that to me!! Also loving the clean dial on the SABS, obviously the extra yardage they got on the dial makes a HUGE difference than On the ASBS!! Check out the Blackbard BS that I just got!! Sixx

I get this pretty badly, I'm disabled and when not in a wheelchair I do my best to get around on crutches. This bends your wrist rather severely and the resulting mark is always there!! You get used to it, only problem is that I can't wear BP watches, or the PAMs without the CG, Rads etc. No great problem though, not for something I love so much! Sixx

My first ever, real wristie!!! Also broke out my newly shod Blackbard BlackSteel!! Sixx

Gents, we have my BS in it's new Blackbard boots (I never wear shoes, only boots!! ). New topic in the Breit area, get em while they're hot!! Sixx

I got some Chief AR on mine, a Ziggy service and re-lume and it looks awesome Sixx

I got one from a fellow board member a month or so ago and it's pure class!! Sixx

I'd like to introduce, well actually 2 things, first is my awesome Blackbard Gator strap for my BlakSteel and secondly, is my wrist I guess!! I don't think it's ever graced the pages of RWG before!?! Anyways, to point! I was talking to Blackbard a few weeks back and we ended up talking about a new strap for my BlackSteel. I, like many others, hate the way the rubber dive strap reacts with the tang buckle, it gets all lumpy and caught up and only having one hand that works properly, it's a serious pain in the hoop to get on!! So We spoke of colours, we have all seen Lani's HKTan strap (well I haven't, but been told plenty!!) and we love the way it compliments the watch. But I like to be different, some call it difficult!! So I wanted something that wasn't on every other BS, so Blackbard said he had some really cool, big scale Gator and could stitch it in red for me. Go for it, said I!! The results are below, I really love the feel and texture of it, as well as the fact I don't have to wrestle it every time I want to wear it now!! To the pics!! Huge thanks to Blackbard for his excellent work, hope you enjoy the shots!! Sixx

I was lucky enough to get Kruzer's Ingy. Pretty much as close to the Gen as these babies come!! Your pics sound great as always L!! Sixx

I've got the P6341 annd much prefer that to be honest! That does sound like a real nice piece though!! Sixx

I think it's the V1 that I have Pete. I'll send it to you and you can have a play with it if you like?! Sixx
