  1. last year i sold a rep here...send it to the UK and it vanished... i thought i was out a watch but apparently no... almost a year later i received a phone call from the local USPS to come see if it is my watch...and it is.... Thanks usps even if it is a little late. Anyway...now i need to resell it
  2. paypal has different exchange rate for sending and receiving
  3. damn...didn't watch to the freaky chick point.... putting down pups because they don't have a ridge and it is not up to standards? and that is in a ethics code? did they even look at a dictionnary first? and what the hell is wrong with those german shepard breeders... didn't even have the guts to finish looking at the video. I didn't know it was that bad. those people don't like dogs...they just like to play god and create something "perfect" for their own selfish benefits.
  4. cad + easy to use? sketchup beside this one all of them have a pretty steep learning curves. Plus sketchup is free.
  5. i had a german shepard that was plagued with health problem. with the amount of german shepard one should think that the breeder would have some choices... but apparently no...too much inbreeding. I had a welsh corgy....smart breeder they took a male was in no way related to the [censored]....never had a problem,he is 16 but damn he had a great life.... it mostly depends on the breeder and if they want great dogs or great trophy.
  6. very sexy...thanks for the pix. do you have the same strap problems that Chad had with his regarding stiffness ?
  7. Joshua has it for 468 http://www.jpc8118.com/00000000000iwp10001...750-p-5690.html
  8. first paypal i guess but except if it is a big dealer i wouldn't expect to get anything back... then CC...the things that sucks is that paypal don;t like people going over their head because they are the one losing money in that situation....be ready to lose your paypal account over that
  9. i know it has been 2 years but it is still a valid question..... i have a chrono avenger that has that problem (without the seller mentioning it...but we are working on that) If it is a easy fix i might keep it but if it is a pain in the butt .....
  10. the kenko extension are great...tho remember that if you have a closer focus you also lose a LOT of light and to get a meaningful magnification you need to get pretty close. another solution is to use a "macro" lens tho they are limited to 1x(*). the best solution is a dedicated macro lens like the canon mp65 is memory serve...it can do up to 6x(*) but it cost an arm and a leg. the one that most people use is the reverse ring coupling. frankly it is the first time i heard about using one directly to the body. Anyway...you can use it to get very high magnification for peanuts. for example if you mount a 300mm on your camera and put a 50mm on the end you have a 6X (*) magnification (300/50) 50mm should be the minimum used tho because of distortion. Of course it would be better to use autofocus...but in macro it is unreliable IMHO and manual focus is much better * What the F... is 1x 6x etc... Since focal length doesn't mean much in macro we use "X" of magnification. 1X means that the object is real size on the film/sensor. let say you taking a picture of a 5mm circle....the object will be 5mm on the sensor. taking roughly 2% on a full size sensor (on a full frame one) if you go to 5X then the size goes to 25mm and more than 50% of the frame.... huge difference.
  11. I think, they might not have big margins on their sales because they do so much more than just the product itself, they have to keep the status of the brand name up, advertising etc Your kidding about luxury brand not having big margins right?. As far as rep a car...well...sorry but you can buy yourself a nice rep Ferrari. same deal as for watches....same exterior but the engine might not be the same.
  12. LOL....small Chinese manufacturers are controlled by terrorist groups.......
  13. Les idees noires are the best album i have...maybe with Soeur Marie Therese Maybe i should have added comic collector to what my fun money goes too....tho it is really pocket change compared to my other hobbies....and i usually manipu.... ask nicely my family to offer them to me for birthdays/christmas.
  14. It does indeed seems like they did a semi accurate slide rule...not perfect but h..of a lot better than what they have on the navitimer
  15. Yep sure i am French... Sad that the greatest French Comic writers have a tendency to be from Belgium.....Franquin for example.... As for my fun money i also spend it on photography gear and astronomy gear. I discover that forum 2 weeks ago and i already have a 16 watches and growing list to get....
  16. Hi all mynameis Regis , 30 married with 2boys French expat in Colorado i have been a watch enthusiast since i got my first watch when i was 7...a blue quick and flupke watch (comic characters).... after that it was a swatch skeleton (stupidly Forgotten at the pool), then a "gold" pocket watch around 12 (i asked for it) , then at 15 my grandma bough me the watch i wore for the next 10years while i was paying out of my own pocket to have my late grandpap turn of the century pocket watch fixed. When i started working i decided to go all the way and buy a GEN Breitling...but i was layed off because it was 2001 and i was working in IT...Our Conquest of Europe 6month prior turned into someone else buying us and our massive debts ...go figure....That actually really sucked because i fell in love with the blackbird of that time...the new one is nowhere as nice to me. I never bothers with replicas because i though they were crap with quartz movements. And then i found rwg.cc .... no idea how but i found and incredible amount of information that i have yet to assimilate. so now i just need to put aside some money to get my first rep Breitling (i already spent all my allowed "fun" money for the next 16years if my wife is to be believed)
  17. F... amazing.... i wear SS only but i am close to changing my mind....
  18. hi guys... was looking for some info on replicas and found your forum...really nice. so now my little problem. i am a fan of the blackbird...the problem is that the new model i hate...hate the big date, hate the 3 6 9 dials. i can't find a good old blackbird replica so.... has any of you tried or see someone modify an EVO from polish to brushed so it at least look kind of like the blackbird? or maybe a reseller that you do it?
