  1. I seem to recall Zigmeister and By-Tor had a good write up on this... I can't seem to find it though...
  2. I have a first Gen Shuffle "Pack of Gum" version. Mine plays in the correct order -or- randomly based on switch position. Your problem could be caused by an error in the "Playlist you are filling from". (Caused by the shuffle button in iTunes -or- by sorting the playlist previously.) Try this: 1.) Make a new playlist. 2.) MAKE SURE "SHUFFLE" icon is OFF in iTunes 3.) Drag the songs you want over - IN THE ORDER YOU WANT THEM 4.) Make sure NOT to "Sort" the playlist at any time. 5.) FILL iPod "FROM NEW PLAYLIST
  3. Feel better! Ask for Vicodin or Percoset for no pain. ;-)
  4. Very nice comparison. That GS really has a nice quality to I was only aware of Clark, may I ask where to find GS's? Thanks!

  6. Excellent information. Remember always BUY THE SELLER before you BUY ANYTHING.

  9. Well that did not last long. The funny thing is this thin/small Daytona font does not emphasize the "flat A" enough to me, and from arms length I would have sworn just by looking at the Daytona Text it was a Re/Rep-Dial.
  10. Excellent post and watches. Valuable information for those of us heading down similar roads. I love that Sinn...
  11. This is the response to be expected by Orchi and some of his followers. They are way too hung up on what could be considered simple "aftermarket replacement parts". If Rolex won't support their customers/vintage models, I think it is great that these parts are in the wild. I don't see him throwing a fit over Clarks crystals or the dozens of "aftermarket bezel inserts" which seem perfectly legal. The larger problem is because of Rolex's business practice, people will get screwed when these cases are passed off as 100% original.

    Best jeans

    That would be the True Religion. See my post above. (I love seeing them on my hot female neighbor, but not so much on guys) As for the $200 Jean comment, It is not unlike a nice watch. Also, a way for [women] or other fashion conscious people to size you up. It helps the girls pick out what guys will spend the most money on them. (Joking, sort of..., ). As we have become a more 'casual' dressing society, I think this is just another way of setting yourself apart from the standard Levi/Gap mass market jeans. (Nothing wrong with Levi's)... Chief, Diesel has all kinds of cuts and styles, but their Web site is a PITA to navigate. If you hit the web site just go to the store link as it is easier to see the different styles. I also have to agree with Ubi, these Jeans are built very well. Safe to say you can get YEARS out of them instead of one season. As an xLevi guy and Calivn guy as well, these should last twice as long. YMMV.
  13. @Siesta181 - Very Cool Watch Still wearing the Ebel
  14. Congrats on the new watch and getting it taken care of. Watch looks awesome. I "HAD" a MTM Spec Ops for about a week before the bezel allen screws fell out, and developed a bracelet issue. I fought like hell and sent it back for a full refund. Hopefully you won't need that warranty. Sweet looking watches, but their "Military Marketing Claim" seems a little exaggerated. I would sooner go into battle with a Seiko. (Clarification: I am not trying to poo-poo MTM, your watch looks awesome, but I am just backing up your QC claims having had one. "Looks" come first IMHO from a MTM perspective, then Quality)

    Best jeans

    I am a Diesel guy, then a 7 all mankind, followed by Calvin Klein. True Religion and Rock and Republic jeans look great on Women, but the back pocket design, IMHO, should not be worn by "Men" Over 30. Under 30, cool, fashion of youth.
  16. Exactly, buyer beware of using an (unmodified) AceTimer or any of the non-hard settable CW/CCW winders for "one way" winding movements. I still get a laugh of AceTimers "Fuzzy Logic" advertising claims. All it is is a circuit that reverses polarity to the DC motors after xMinutes to cause them to spin the opposite direction.
  17. Still wearing:
  18. ^^^ Yep. A 7750 requires 650 TPD Clockwise I believe. Setting the AceTimer to 1000TPD = 500 CW, 500 CCW so 150 short. Actually the best experience I have had was with a 7753 that did "extend" to about a month...
  19. I read the article in IW yesterday actually. My impression was he has become anti-fashion plate, anti-little guy/boutique guy. There was one part in the article where he mentions his suit maker wanting to make watches with his help. He refused. I also think he is against the "assemblers". Guys who just buy a bunch of Swiss parts, assemble a watch and sell it as some high end watch. (Like a Debaufre' and possibly down to a Kobold level.). There was also a great quote in the article where he compares to the auto industry. It went something like "Image Joe Thompson wants to make a car. He goes to GM to buy the engine for his Joe Thomson car. GM would be like 'Hell NO!'." I am not saying I agree with him, but I see where he is coming from. My worries is about parts availability down the road. Do the Offrei's / Cousins get "cut-off"???? That is the ONE question they article never answers. I also wonder what his definition of "Big Watch maker" is that they will continue supplying to. Does this mean the Doxa's, Ball, Sinn, Kobold, Bremont, and other small to mid-range companies will be cut off? We shall see...
  20. Yikes, her 048 and Radiomir was much sexier!
  21. 7 to 10 days from my experience with it.
  22. Yep, known issue with so-called "Fuzzy Logic" aka "No Logic" winders that simply alternate clockwise vs CCW. This also applies to AceTimer winders. I have a GEN 7750 based watch, and even setting it to 1000 TPDs will only "extend" its being wound about 1.5 weeks from a full wind, sit in the winder that long. Most of these winders work off of simply "Polarity Switching" to the DC motor. You can HACK it by bypassing the logic board and setting the polarity the way you want it.
