  1. http://panatime.com/ (for affordable straps) Use discount code RWG for 10% off IIRC.
  2. Oyster Braclet - Check. No Crown Guard - Nice Is it just me, or does anyone else see red/blue-black on the bezel? GMT?
  3. As a follow up to this, there is one FYI/Issue with this solution. The "cleaning wax" adheres very well, and if you attempt to wipe your watch with a cloth, you will transfer the wax from the bracelet to the crystal if you are not careful. Likewise, with long sleeves. I am constantly getting a film on the crystal from the wax. It does not hurt the crystal, but makes it look smudgy.
  4. My collection includes the following: PAM112 (DSN) PAM177 (DSN) PAM029 PAM222 I would say, the 111,112 are the common PAMs.
  5. Quick follow up question on the crystal... Can the crystal be removed/installed with regular press WITHOUT having to remove the bezel? On a side note, anyone every remove a Seiko bezel? Thanks,
  6. FWIW, I checked in with my friend who's camera I borrowed with similar frustration. Guess what, it was also the 75-300. Thanks for this link Andei3000:
  7. Vomits in mouth... I am surprised it has not been flagged down yet.
  8. If someone grabbed my wrist/arm, they would on the ground faster than a 28,800 second. I think what you did was fine. Sometimes the bigger the lie, the more believable. If that makes sense. By standing your ground and thrusting the watch upon him like you did-- probably took him by surprise. This guy was clearly a douchebag, so your fib is cool with me.
  9. Any chance for a comparison set to the same day/date. A bit more apples to apples comparison? Thanks,
  10. Tell me more about the "Stealth Monster" Please... I am thinking of doing a DLC Seiko Diver w/Avitt.
  11. @Freddy333. You are not alone. I went through a very similar frustration back during the RWG Photo Contest that Lani put together. I attempted to use a borrowed Canon XTI with the exact same feeling/results. I wound up going back to my ancient SD630 for Macro shots for the contest. Great thread. Waiting for more experts to chime in.
  12. Excellent. Costa Rica is great. I surfed Witch's Rock there 2 years ago. Big fun!!! Thanks for sharing.

    p90 x

    The first disks are slightly easier, and the program flows as such. The payoff comes in the later upper body work outs. At least in my case. Remember P90X is NOT for new/returning to working out people. There is actually a Fit Test you should take prior to starting. In my opinion, if you can not do: 25 push-ups right now 1 pull/chin up 60 situps Run 1 mile in under 9 minutes -or- Bike 20 miles with relative ease Then DO NOT jump into P90X. Start with something else.
  14. You have to know when to show em', know when to hide em'. Works both ways. I have had gens/good reps, actually open a few doors for me. I get great service and comps from a very nice, and hot, Japanese waitress at my local Sushi hang out because she likes my Daytona Rep.
  15. Looking forward to this. Hope BK takes up the charge. As far as the wait...Come on guys, it was well known that the SeaDweller would not be ready until September or later. I am guessing a small operation like this needs to rely on pre-orders, and general interest before proceeding. Good things come to those who wait, or so they say.
  16. PayPal unfortunately might as well be part of the evil empire. Good luck. I had one eBay PP dispute, non-delivered good. Long story short, I only got a partial refund based on what was sitting in the guys PP account. I have never seen the balance owed to me.

    p90 x

    This is not the case with the upper body exercises on the program. You should be adding adding/increasing weights, and your choice 8-10 or 12-15 reps for different results. Also, it is meant as a 90 program unless you combine P90X lean + P90X classic + P90XPlus. 270 days max, then move on to something else. I do agree, without the proper diet, YMMV.
  18. Good looking watch. I am a closet Oris fan as well. Wear it well.

    p90 x

    The p90x Ab workout is actually pretty intense if you are just getting back into working out. Start slow, and don't get discouraged.
  20. I am not sure you have the correct running shoes. Running shoes comes in models that emphasize either Cushioning, or Stability / Motion Control. Most people err on the side of cushioning, when a stability model is probably a better fit. (similar to the Gel Bike Saddle argument). For years I was running with a Nike cushioning shoe. Went to a pro-runner shoe store and found out: 1.) I was wearing a 1/2 size too small for running, and 2.) Needed a stability shoe. I have now been running on Brooks Adrenaline GTS shoes for 4 years and Zero pain anywhere -- until they wear out and then my knees tell me its time for new shoes.
