Oh I say!!! Quick, empty my bank acount on this site now!! How can you resist a description like that?!? I will be the talk of the town, the cock of the walk! I need power and statement on me!! Oh, yeah, and a big diamond and a thick chain, or a thick girl, either or, I'm not fussy!! Welcome to paradise dude, read, interact, learn and, for God sake, delete that site from your favourites!! Do it now, come on now, get it, there you go, feel better now?! Good man! Now read Toads guide and stay away from bad men who can't talk properly!! Sixx

Lol, I wondered how long it would take for the 'Great Swatch Auto debate!!' They have been pushing it pretty hard on TV in the UK recently. If I'm not mistaken, we get an awful lot of our Rep movements from Swatch already! BK put out a message for the latest WM9 DSSD and how we needed to put more money upfront to pay for the movements from Swatch as the prices have gone up on them. I guess now we know why huh?! Sixx

I got a reply from Admin last week Tom, he seemed pretty snowed under at the time though! I think he is still around however! Sixx

That Getat sounds wicked cool!! Will have to check them out!! Weird about your Speedy though, I have the black panda dial one and it feels very gen, weight, feel everything! Very strange!! Wear them well my friend!! Sixx

I don't think Chief meant that you were asking a stupid question, just that it was an easy spot that if you feel you are getting bad service before you hand over your money, then it's gonna be a whole lot worse when they have your money bud!! I don't think he was saying you were stupid for asking it, just it is an easy spot!! It depends on who you are dealing with, all dealers have different lead times, you have to remember time differences in this aswell. If you are emailing a dude in Hong Kong and they are in bed when you're up, chances are he aint gonna answer!! Also there is language barriers, how many deals are on the go with this guy at one time, how many staff they have helping. The list goes on. 4 days does seem pretty long, but again, it depends on whats going on at the other end. Who is the dealer in question, maybe some of us have had issues too, or know that something is going on and thats why you haven't gotten an answer!? Just my

Think a few people have had them on here J, just as stated above, on the look out for shady deals etc. Just say you ebayed or sold some stuff, end of! Sixx

I just want to say right from the off here that I in NO WAY blame TT for this in the slightst!!! He was being a real good friend and helping me out, as hackR said, I would take the friendship over a few reps any day of the year!! Not only was he good enough to help me in getting the watches, but when it was discovered that the crown was messed up, he even ordered the parts for me!! TT is a great guy and there is no blame going anywhere near his end!! It's just a sad fact, that sometimes, sh1t like this happens in our hobby, sure it blows, but it's a risk we take, hence the tags on most sales posts "...will do so at own risk" I did and crappy for Toad and I, we crapped out! He did lose the chrono pusher all on his own though the loser!! lol. To make it even funnier, he then found it the other day, where I hear you ask?? Only on some sticky back that was on his wee daughters ladybird bicycle helmet!!!???!!! lol, that really cracked me up today when he told me!! Thanks for the apology TT, but I said a ton of times, there is no need, there is no blame at your end you were being a good friend is all!! hackR You may have something there, Lani, gget in here and explain your big muscled ass!!! (not that I've seen Lanis ass or anything, but going from what I heard about the cannons he perches watches on!?>?! I'll get me coat!!) Sixx

Hahahahaha, nice!!! Thanks guys, that really made me laugh!! Vly, it is, but don't tell no one!!! I got a rep (no pun intended!!) to uphold here dude!! Hike, what you got for me dude?!? Is it dirrrrrrty?!? lol Hackr, nice you put my face on what looks like my buddies ex wife, real nice!! hahaaha. TT, white is sooo my colour dude, how did you know?!? Lani, Close!! Was in Cancun, but only 4 ladies, the other 2 didn't come up to the mark!! Sixx (back home in RWG once more!!)

Hike, you devil you!! Have you broken out the 'Hikes own brand' this week?!? Folks, incase you didn't know, HikeUSA made that watch he is wearing, (I really hope it's the right one or I'm gonna look such a twat!!lol) all by his lonesome!! It has been a work of passion and art and from what I can gather from my spies on the web, it's an absolute stunner!!! Go on big guy, blow that trumpet!! I'm going with my 112h on black worn Cordovan with titanium stitching and a nice dark titanium SC Lengend buckle!! In honour of the big man!! Sixx

Good night Gracie!!! You knew I was gonna man, surely?!? Sixx

I'm in like Flynn Big Guy!! Always happy to help 'pay the bills'!! Sixx

Can't go wrong with Narikaa, he has great prices, customer service is next to none and he can find you prety much anything you want!! Have a look for him in the dealer section, you won't regret it! Sixx

Lol, very nicely put S, trust me guys, I have won one of the BigMans watches,if you win one of his you can be assured that it's THE very best on the market!!! Not only that, but you help pay the bills for the place we call home!! Sixx

Way to ruin a whole days worth of thinking Hackr!!!! I'll never be able to get that image out my head now!! *shudder* Sixx

Really kinda has to be the B&R for me doesn't it?! lol. The Monaco sounds amazing and of course a Freak like me needs a Freak Watch!!! Sixx

A day never to be forgotten, for many reasons, not least the 3,000+ innocent ones who were lost! But for a freak stroke of luck, I would have lost my parents that day! Those of you who know me know my folks are my world! They were supposed to be on the Quayside waiting for the ferry to Ellis Island that morning, but, my mother feeling the need to primp and preen her hair a bit more meant they were running late. They were staying in a hotal in Mid-Town, about 3/4 of a mile from the Towers, the first plane pretty much skimmed off the top of their hotel roof before, about 50 seconds later, pilling into the side of the first Tower! To this day and, for probably all my days, I awake in the middle of the night sweating, heart going ten to the dozen, as I arise from a nightmare of what could have been!! I was the luckiest man alive that day, in my own selfish way, not to have lost 2 of the best people on the planet! But while I rejoice in my fortune i can never fail to shed a tear, even as I type this, for those that were not as lucky as me that day, those who lost their own world in those horrible hours!! My prayers to all in the US and to those affected the world over, I don't feel this as just an American tragedy, but a tragedy of mankind itself!! Special thoughts to my RWG family in NY, as this will always be the epicentre of focus of that vile day!! Sixx

Been looking for a new watch box too!!! I'll have as many as you got on the shelf big fella!!! lol Soooo not fair not being able to see sometimes!! Sixx

Getting to be a bit more than interesting I'd say!! Sounds wicked cool fun!! Nothing like wrangling with the locals for a giggle!! Hope you enjoy dinner OF and Ilook forward to hearing the next installment! Sixx

Technically or otherwise, it's there now!!! Good luck Pho, really hope you hit the big number on this one mate!! Oh and I hope your back is feeling a bit better today, I feel your pain bud! Sixx

I didn't do nuffin!!!! I, like many others, found this place through the 'email, buy this exact replica for only$xxx' route. I thankfully googled and found this place before my bank account emptied into some scumbags pocket!! I was a 'Noob', even if one with a slight disadvantage, a noob none the less. This place is pretty daunting when you find out that all that cool stuff you knew about watches and could impress girls with, was nothing in comparison to one iota of the knowledge found in here!! Just take Toadtorrents guide to stealing said girl you are impressing, with one swirl of his sliderule!! I knew then, that all I knew about this great passion of mine, was squat! But, with some reading, (or listening in my case) and some help from some truely amazing people, I have learned more in the time I have been here than most would in a lifetime, outside of a forum such as this, that is. But it's not all watches, as Hackr and others have alluded too, there are a whole plethora of skill sets on this board, from photography to pen making, from working out to walrus cruelty (man I swear that Walrus is more famous than any amount of film, TV and music stars!!). I won a Rolex in a raffle early this year, it was to try and get the 'noobs' more involved, to get them to take control of their forum, for we all contribute in some way or another, there for it is everyones board not just guys with 4 figure post counts!! In my wee thank you post I stated that this community (which is what we are!) is way more than just watches and that raffle was for way more than a Rolex. It is about reaching out to people oceans apart, to get some help from the most unexpected places, friendship when you least expect it but need it the most, help with anything from changing a strap to fixing a computer (yes that means you By-Tor!!) to fixing a car, a motorcycle, even finding who is the best person to tattoo you in NY!! (haven't forgotten you B!! ) Try getting that kind of help on facebook or myspace without having to sleep with the other person first!! I know I'm not the most popular member on here and that sometimes my views and opinions are slightly "wild, yet direct" (aledgedly), but if I talk to you, you can be sure I won't say anything to anyone that I wouldn't say to your face, or interface in this particular case, but it is true in real life also. Given that, I'm one of the first people to chip in and help anyone who asks for it, even in some cases when they haven't!! heh heh!! I'll go out of my way to do anything I can to help my fellow members and frequently my own member, but thats slightly off topic!! We have members that have forgotten more than some of us will ever be able to learn, this is the same the world over with some people, it doesn't make them any better than the rest of us, just better at certain things than us! It takes all sorts to make something work, aswell as all sorts of subject matter, it doesn't always have to be about "who does the best sub", we had one of the weddings of the year, with our very own TeeJay marrying his very own CJ, we all got to share in it and it made us a part of it, even if some were many thousands of miles away! We had one of our most beloved members almost die just a month or so ago, we all held our breath, then we all celebrated in his recovery. Then we have that f**king walrus and his 5 secondly bucket saga!! But still, we all wait to make sure he gets it back, just incase, one day, *gasp* he doesn't!! Bottom line is, yeah there will be guys who will come onto the board, buy a rep and never be seen again. You get that in any type of forum, in, find what they want, leave. Great, we all helped that person in some sort of way, but there will be the guy like me, who blunders across this place and thinks "Hey, I kinda like it in here, there is something for everyone!". If it's bang for buck you want, there is Chargod's 'Top ten best for under $150' there are some pieces in there that I have proudly in my collection, not just because they are cheap, but because they are awesome value, like the POrikka, amazing watch for the money! Then we have the pieces we drool over in the sales thread that cost upwards of $800 that someone has spent months, sometimes years, making! Yeah we may not be able to afford them, but we can admire, even aspire to, one day, being the person who is putting one of those watches up for sale! I have made some of the best friends anyone could ask for on here and I truely care for the place, a lot! It may seem a pretty steep climb when you first come in, but take the time to look around, talk to a few people, then make your choice of whether you just want that one rep or whether you want to be one of the people named above and call this place home!! Sixx

I've always had a smallish knife or multi tool for work, I was a computer field engineer for years. Then I always had a real good quality Leatherman for when I was out on the bikes, all of my bikes have a multitool under the seat. You could bend the tools they give you with motorcycles buttering bread!1 So a good leatherman is always handy! Now that the world is dark and I don't get to play on my bikes anymore, I guess it's just habit. It certainly isn't anything like Reg's number though thats for sure!! lol Sixx

Holy crap Reg!! Are you going to war and buying an army along the way?!? lol It appears most Americans feel the need to carry deadly weapons in their pockets!! DB2, from what I'm told, you want to be VERY careful where you choose to stash your weapon of choice, it appears to be missing one half of the handle, thus exposing the blade and possibly your prized possesions if put in the wrong pocket!!! lol I usually have, phone N97 or N85, pill box, silver from Egypt with my name in sandscript on the front and chock full of pills!! House key with a very small lockback knife on it, leatherman and of course cigarettes and zippo!! Watch on the wrist at all times!

Found this while bumbling around the Bay. Thought maybe someone may be interested, they got the red and the black, on braclet for a grand off!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PORSCHE-Automatic-Chronograph-Watch-P6340-RRP-2499_W0QQitemZ110406313207QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL?hash=item19b4baa4f7&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262 Sixx

Thats a very sweet find MJ!!! I can't believe no one bid on it and it never sold?!? Crazy!! Sixx

You get a watchmaker to strip and service the movement. They take it all apart, clean it, re oil and lube it, then put it back togeather and back into the case and it will run like a good 'un if serviced properly!! We have a couple of guys on the board who service and mod watches. Do a quick search for it and they should be easy enough for you to spot! Sixx
