  1. On Big Watch forum... Hajit is charging like a bull methinks: http://www.network54.com/Forum/246582/mess...PVD%92ed+Carbon What do you guys think?
  2. John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmick. His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to change. One day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases. It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector. It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11-year-old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over two hours late. "Where have you been? Why are you over two hours late getting home?" asked John. "Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project," said Tommy. The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair. "Son," said John, "this robot is a lie detector. Now tell us where you really were after school." "We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie," said Tommy. "What did you watch?" asked Marsha. "The Ten Commandments," answered Tommy. The robot went around to Tommy and slapped him again, knocking him off his chair once more. With his lip quivering, Tommy got up from the floor, sat down, hsaid, "I am sorry I lied. We really watched an R-rated movie." "I am ashamed of you, son," said John. "When I was your age, I never lied to my parents." The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair. Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears, and said, "Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!" With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair.
  3. Even though a far departure from the gen... it looks really good! I think blue hands would ruin it though... blue and brown?? I don't think so, but it's up to you
  4. I tried to put my 036 CG (not sure what dealer it's from, but not Davidsen) on the 240 but it would not fit... The problem I have with my 240 CG is that there is no curvature on the top to match the case... if it had that, it would be a really nice watch... with the flat CG, it sticks out like a sore thumb The CG in your photo here looks curved on to... does it have this or is it just because it is such a wide angle shot? I'd really like to know as I'll get a new one if that's the case
  5. Fan[censored]intastic watch mate!!! That's as good as they get!!! Wear it well!
  6. My name's David... some people who have just been introduced to me feel it necessary to call me 'Dave'... even though I was introduced, or introduced myself as 'David'... yes, that bugs me... I'd rather be called 'D' Some of my friends call me Dave, but I get over it (in time)... The good and/or close friends know to call me David. God forbid they call me Davey or Davo (australian for Dave LOL)
  7. Dear Walter: I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom, having sex with the neighbor lady. I am 32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore. Can you please help? Sincerely, Sheila --------------------------------------------------- Dear Sheila: A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber. I hope this helps. Walter
  8. I dive (not too deep though) and swim with my MBK AP ROO chrono and EOD no problemo
  9. I have an MBW EOD... just wondering what's wrong with the original MBW EOD velcro strap... is it very wrong?
  10. Jeezus this is beautiful... Thanks for the pics and info Lani!! I'm holding out for the EOD....
  11. Not sure, but I wouldn't think the spec would have changed so much... but I am going by only the memory and photos, as the watch has since passed... Here are some photyos of my 91D: Not sure what this is, but the 91 is brushed, not polished, so it would be a different model than the 91
  12. The 91 was my first gen... The Crown and CG are both Ti. Only the bezel, caseback, and every other link in the bracelet is SS
  13. Because the gen is so so cool!!! Nice watch Uncle J!!! That's my grail! Thanks for the pics... makes me feel so good seeing this watch! When the come out with the rep of this with seconds at 12, there'll be no stopping me from buying it!
  14. This doen's look hard at all to rep... what IS the holdup?? I would buy this over a sub/sd anyday!!
  15. Seems that the ACCC has no teeth... just got th is email: "Regards" my a$$
  16. A good friend of mine bought the gen 3717 after he saw my rep... he was so psyched to get it, and loves the watch... He's had it for about 6 months now and treats it with kid gloves... well, maybe not quite, but he doesn't beat on it in any sense... Anyhow, went to visit him for a coffee today and he starts shaking the watch at me... Hey... he says... what do you think the problem is here?... Shaking the watch made the scariest of sounds... I mean really scary (especially for a gen).. Sounds to me like the rotor has fallen off somehow Could be something else though... the watch is running still and keeping time, although the power reserve is down to about 8 hours... so I reckon it's the rotor (coming from an amateur WIS) Just thought I'd share this horror story, as it seems so appropriate
  17. You're joking right??? BLASPHEMY!!! Espev\cially in K's thread
  18. I can't either... and really want to :
  19. The things that bug me most about the iPhone is that there's no copy and paste function and the way SMS messages are all grouped by conversation/contact... Sometimes I want to filter out or delete certain ma\essages, but it's not possible as far as I can see Otherwise, I'm really liking it and hope the v2 software makes it better!
  20. I don't see a problem trying to raise funds for whatever cause you want on the forum... whether it's for the running of the forum and keeping this great community running, or even AJS's MBA... as long as the funds are actually transferred to that cause... Just make a Fundraising section on the forum... separate to the sales forums. As in posts being disgusting... that's a pretty strong word I'm curious to see what people are finding disgusting, as I've seen some pretty disgusting things in my life... Posts on internet watch forums don't seem to be able to fit into that category.
  21. Dude If the forum got shut down, wouldn't that be a terrible thing??? Seems that you don't care so much about that Not that it would happen or anything... I contributed in this project... hopefully it will all come to some good I have the final 3d model... and the drawings... if these crowns are all good, they will continue to be produced... one way or another, I'm sure... If the starter of this project doesn't want to do it anymore, and more people want crowns, I'm sure they can be produced again, to the same spec. For now, the project stays with the owners, if they want to pass it on, by whatever means, they can... On the other hand... crowns, or any Panerai parts ain't friggin rocket science... and can be produced to perfect accuracy, time and money permitting, as we can see with several projects on the go at the moment... so please all those who want drawings and specs... at least wait til some are released before you want all the work put into it to be handed out freely
  22. Does anyone know if the new software will work on the not new iPhone? I have Model A1203, which is running version 1.1.4 firmware
  23. Sorry, I don't like the watch... and I am American, and I'm not a hippie, or a commie... or a terrorist... and kinda smart, I guess, but that's only relative
