Get well soon!

They do it every year - Renault are pretty good to their customers like that Dealerships still appear to be the usual hit and miss affair lol but they are at least one of the manufacturers who concentrates on developing cars for those of us who actually like to drive, rather than just travel!! EDIT: I just found this smiley lol

If you can wait till some point in 2010, you will probably be able to get your name down for a pre-order on a WM9 DSSD as I believe that's in the pipeline for development, following delivery of the SD that is being worked on at the moment!

Wow, that's some serious dedication to get all that lot together, ubi! Both financially and patience-wise! lol

There speaketh a man with infinitely more knowledge than me! lol

The B&R 03 isn't bad, IMHO. The back is good as the gen doesn't have the screws for removable lugs like the 01, therefore the rep is accurate in this respect, and I'm pleased to see that everything's spelt correctly lol The dial is alright as the printing looks pretty good, but I'm not sure they ever released the orange dial version in a SS case - I think they were all PVD, in which case this is a bit of a fantasy model. I may be wrong though... Either way, the orange dial is a Ltd Edition of 250 pieces iirc, so you're unlikely to see another one! This orange is different to the gen though, IMO, and the lume is very probably non-existent. At least the datewheel isn't too sunken, and the white numbers are correct! Have a look on the Bell and Ross website/forum as they have some pictures somewhere on there.

Ah, cool, understood!

Thank you

I wouldn't know where to start repping a watch, but I would have thought that comparing two things side by side, even if one's a picture, wouldn't be that hard... lol

Mint! But not very cheap... lol

Where's that one from? It's nice!

Cool, many thanks for the info 20g doesn't sound a lot but then it's a fair amount when compared to the full SS weight! Great link, thanks!

Glad to hear it! I can't wait to get mine I've just had the email from Chris regarding approval/disapproval/comments on the second one he's sourced for me - the first had a section of the outer ring of the subdial missing so, thanks to the fact that Eurotimez offer photographs before shipping, I've been able to save the hassle of sending that first one back! The second one I'm just waiting for someone to check the same issue - I think the factory/ies subdial printing processes may need to be slightly tweaked to ensure even thickness all round the subdial outer ring? Either way, so far I'm very happy with Eurotimez although I get the feeling they're going to fed up with me wanting perfection, or as near as it gets in a rep lol If you're reading this, Chris, I appreciate all your efforts!!

Ooooooh..... *starts planning* lol

From what I've heard, half the time you will receive the watch before the EMS tracking is updated! Sit tight, 4 days isn't long lol

Apologies for what is probably a n00b question (I really do need to read up on my PAMs!) but is that Titanium? If it is, how does it wear compared to steel? Much lighter? Does it look that much different to brushed steel? The colour difference appears to be very subtle! Thanks

Nice! Looks like they've used the sapphire to mount the movement on, like that PP(?) with the blue sapphire background that's also a ridiculous amount lol

Without wishing to take this off topic, I loved that 212 - you should definitely consider doing more!

Thanks dadog

+1 lol The yellow one is quite bright! How does the Ti compare to Steel in weight? I've seen cases that appear to only be 10 grams difference, which wouldn't appear to be that much?

I love this watch Thanks for the selection of pictures! It's a shame about the black lume not being great but then I guess there's only so much you can do to make a black substance glow lol

Left hand one would be my choice! I like the clean look of not having the stitching

I've had a look and found a one on there but from the description it's not your one! They are lovely though, supposed to be one of the all time great drives Although, if you're in america, do you know what corners are? LoL

lol I'd buy it, take it to get serviced, 'find out' it's all wrong then take him to court and win $$$$$$

Yes, because all your money would be in the watch lol You should have asked what price he'd give you
