Bandwidth Burner Ahead, lots of photos.
Hot off my workbench, SOXA 2.0 SeaRambler edition. This watch started life as a a Noah Fuller creation that I bought from a forum memeber. While there was nothing wrong with the original version, I have been lusting after a SeaRambler, but the budget won't allow a Gen. So I give you the next best thing.
Lets kick this off with some Before and After:
Noah SOXA (Before)
Ronin SOXA 2.0 SeaRambler (After)

I might have a very large credit with BK at this point.

Timer says its ok? All positions? Perhaps the hands them self are slipping, or binding and pulling.

What format do you require? Is it driven off of a vector image, or other data file, or do you need to manually do something?

@ Ronin, nobody said the ipad even compares with the Air
or any real laptop. What I'm saying is that a lot of people use computers for nothing but surfing and the occasional email. IMO doing those things are more enjoyable on an ipad. Using a touchscreen is a far more satisfying experience.
Andrew, the iPad comparison was directed at the person who compared the Air to an iPad on steroids. Sorry about the confusion.
As for using a touchscreen, welcome to "Steve Jobs contradicts himself again". During the Air announcement, Apple pretty much came out against touch screen "computing".
Considering my wife is still using a 6yr old "PowerBook G4 1.67/2 GB" for everything from MS-Office to iMovie HD (Tiger era) and Photoshop just fine-- I think we are underestimating the power of these newer Core 2 Duo machines. Sure, you are not going to use it for major HD Video production work, major RAW photo projects, or 3rd Shooter games, but if you are doing that today, you are probably using a Mac Pro.
For the ultimate in "mobile computing", add a MiFi Hotspot, USB 3g/4g card to it, or tether to your phone, and you have an incredible device.

Would love to see the capabilities and examples from this machine. I would actually make some homebrew 'my own brand' dials.
Thanks!

A couple of observations. I've got an iPad and Macbook Pro 13". I have come to love the iPad. It's the perfect device for sitting around the house and doing light work, surfing the web, using apps like WSJ or watching video. For serious email and work related stuff you gotta have a keyboard. My opinion is that the Air as an iPad on steroids. A 3G iPad and Air are about the same price. The real question is "how are you going to use it"?
I have to disagree here. Other than being made out of Aluminum and being light weight for their size there is no comparison. The Air is a real computer with full OS-X operating system. The iPad is, take your pick, a-- toy, lifestyle device, iOS device, neutered tablet, giant iPod Touch, web/application appliance...
If these Air's were released prior to the iPad, I think it would have hurt iPad sales. With the instant on, full keyboard, FULL WEB (install Flash), etc, an 11" Air can lay around the house just as easily and do so much more. The 11" Air Screen Resolution is higher than the 13" Mac Book and MB-Pro's as well @ 1366x768 vs. 1280x800. Think how much better watching a movie on an airplane will be with the Air! No fumbling around trying to "prop-up" an iPad-- just open the clam-shell, and experience 16x9 video.
The 13" Air, actually offers up some real computing ability. While no MB-PRO, I did play with iMovie 11 on it, and it would be just fine for editing a family movie, etc. Also, the screen resolution on the 13" air is higher than the 13" Pro, and the same as the 15" Pro @ 1440x900.
Just my .02,

Torrents & Usenet. If I am too cheap to buy music--> a hack that allows me to grab Pandora and GrooveShark streams.
A good article on speeding up and securing your bit-torrents here: http://lifehacker.co...ontent=Netvibes

Seriously! I have not used Limewire since 1999!!!! God, Kazza, eDonkey, and Limewire was so last millennium.

Given the quality of their work, it's a travesty they are not in the R&R HOF.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. If they are lucky they might make it in in 2112......LOL

I am a fan of; Hugo Boss & Prada frames. Might want to look into those.

The Zigmeister summed it up.
(And only 1 page of New??? I seem to average about 3 pages every 4~6 hours during the week.) Note: Using the RSS feature here, or leaving the page up 24x7 in some browsers seems to screw up the "View New" results from my experience.
As a dormant member of the other mentioned forums, there is a lot of "noise" which does not always translate into a "song" like around these parts.

Going out on a limb, but the fit and finish of the end-links to the case is a dead give-a-way....

Omega DeVille Hour Vision -- looks great with formal wear or jeans and a T-shirt . Short of deep sea scuba, plenty water/shock proof.

I have just recently completed a transaction with Watchadoo. No issues, shipping was a bit slow, but from AUS to USA, it was 3 weeks.
I have had 2 transactions with wholesaleoutlet aka: ewatchparts.com and as mentioned above, the order was not correct-- however I did get product successfully, and quickly. Just getting it "right" is the challenge for them.
In a pinch, I would not worry about it, but be prepared. The best advice when dealing with any of these guys including Yuki, NDT, and the like is-- WYSIWIG does not always apply.

Sweet, but unfortunately no. That is 18mm, these Seikos are 22mm, and GEN DOXA is 20mm. Sigh....
On a positive note Doxa is using this simlar Anvil style bracelet on their 800 and 5000 models.
To answer your other question Bezel is from Yobokies. http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t208/yobokies/?start=all
While I am looking to get Nitrox certified, I fear I prefer "Recreational" dive depths. I am having it pressure tested tomorrow, I am sure it will be fine-- it is a Seiko underneath after all.
