  1. Streets aren't actually too bad, except when you get out into the sticks... Speeds aren't high at all, so I'm just exploring a bit more on the smaller side, as manoeverability is quite important, and bikes over, say, 500cc become cumbersome in conditions here.
  2. OK, thanks all... What about suggestions for bikes between 250cc to 500cc ?
  3. OK... I got an itch, it's gotta be scratched... It's been many years since I've ridden, I owned a few Harleys in my mid 20s, but haven't since then. Now, I want a naked bike, something knarley, but not too big... I'm thinking 750cc max... I live in Bangkok, so it's gotta be small and maneuverable, the traffic here is horrendous So far, I'm liking these (not in any order whatsoever): Aprilla Shiver 750 (don't know if available here) Duc Monster 796 Triumph Street Triple 675 Anyone have suggestions or comments?
  4. Beautiful... Now just put it on a Dirk strap and it'll look the duck's nutz
  5. Joshua and/or Andrew... Exemplary dealers, top notch guys... I don't even know why there's a question anymore.
  6. I've got so much good to say about this watch... just gotta keep going. I spent the holiday swimming, diving and snorkeling with this 026 without a single glimmer of leakage. Great watch, great build... definitely a keeper :thumbsupsmileyanim: If you guys can get any of these special build watches as they come out, they're well worth every penny! Josh & Andrew are the best out there by a long shot IMO! Kepp up the great work guys
  7. I got the CF strap from Don... It's really quite good AND cheap, and uses the same materials as OEM You can find him here: http://www.homestead.com/rlx/DON.html
  8. Hey! Nice strap... where'd you get it?
  9. These come waterproof from the Joshua... I just double checked it
  10. Sorry all... But Hike... I just gotta say that's just about the finest ass I've seen that you've got there in your sig mate..
  11. I went for a swim Then had a soapy
  12. Sorry for the dust and gunk in some of the pics guys... it's hard to make it completely clean with macro shots... I can assure you that this is a beautiful piece when looking at it with the naked eye, even closely... Best rep out of the box IMO
  13. It's the genuine DLC process, so it will be very tough... but any DLC coated watch can be scratched if scraped or smashed on a sharp, hard surface like metal, diamonds, rocks, etc... It can also be dinged, as the metal is the same basic hardness, so if you bump it against a hard surface, or drop it, it will be dented. If you scratch any DLC coated watch deeply enough, the steel will surely show through and can not be polished out, the same as with any genuine watch.
  14. I know there are reviews on this already, but thought to write one too, as this watch just deserves it in every way As in the title, all I can really say is that the new PAM 026K is a simply awesome rep... nothing extra to do with this, it's perfect out of th box... I hope these guys keep going down this road. I got it with the black leather strap, which was nice, but replaced it with a CF strap so I could play in the water with it Some points: DLC is even and beautiful All around finish is great Crystal/AR is perfect, it just about disappears at some angles, really complimenting the dial details CG and lever are great, smooth operation and snaps in as good as gen Dial finish is spot on, fonts may be off under a loupe, but jeez LOL Lume is amazing High CP :-) Waterproof too!!!! I may be wrong, but it sounds like a high beat movement I believe this is by far the best Luminor out of the box, I feel great with it on my wrist! Here's some shots:
  15. Now that looks really nice... but, I tried a Mac, and just couldn't get used to it, maybe I'm too complicated
  16. I bought one off the Paneristi forum... It arrived and I was shocked to see how big it was!!!
  17. :thumbsupsmileyanim: Beautiful... Can you show us a view directly at the crown?
  18. Look at this.... sooo beautiful :wub: Please make this! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Best jeans

    +1 That's all I ever wear!
  20. I've been smoking for about 36 years, since I was 14... I hate it, it makes me feel bad, my loved ones hate it, and it's just plain nasty. So, I'm trying to stop. I've tried patches, but I still want a cigarette. I've tried hypnosis, but after a while, I still want to smoke. It seems that I like the feeling of the cigarette in my hand, and the feeling of breathing in the smoke. Last night, I happened by a stall at the market selling e-cigarettes, and gave it a try. So far, I am pleasantly surprised! I haven't smoked a real cigarette since, and I have 'almost' no desire to... More than any other time I've tried to stop. Has anyone here tried these? What are your thoughts? Any suggestions on the best brand/type?
  21. Really nice looking strap... is it shell cordovan?
  22. ...on the other hand, you are so picky about the details of the watch, it may be impossible for you to wear with the flaws rolling around in your head and wondering if someone will notice... I say save for a gen or get a rep with no flaws
