My Uncles were in France with the 442 "go for broke " batallion from Hawaii.. no wonder my aunties said they could not understand why they had that [censored] ass grin on their faces when they came home IMHO... if your straight or gay it does not matter to me .. but if your BI-sexual.. as far as I'm concerned your just friggin greedy

Scene: 2 kids playing a recess in a very posh school ... a boy and a girl Girl: my mommy drives a Mercedes .. say's to the boy.. Boy: Oh yeah .. my daddy drives a ferrari .. counters to the little girl Girl: .. Hah ,.. my daddy has his own Jet .. her nose up in the air.. Boy: OH YEAH.. we have a castle in europe... getting mad Girl:.. smiles.. oh yeah only one?? Boy:.. now the boy is really getting mad ... so he pulls down his pants and say's... oh yeah .. bet you don't have one of these .. Girl:.. really smiling... gently pulls up her skirt.... no I don't . but I have this and with this I can get as many of THOSE as I want... Moral of the story.. Men should name their dicks .. because you should name something your going to listen to 99.9% of the time

QUOTE(vbarrett @ Sep 10 2007, 05:22 PM) To go back on topic, I'm glad Lanikai and TeeJay are in agreement about the nouveaux riches and their watches. Just remember though, to some people, you guys maybe nouveaux riches with your PAMs and lovely 007 Omegas, because there is always some person poorer than you. DAHHH .. there's someone smarter, bigger, faster, on and on ... this is a good point as you can envy others or be OK with who and what you are.. so with that said.. my ego tells me it would be really embarrassing to be earing a "bad" rep and be called out on it .. that would appear to be putting on "airs" TeeJay... Ironically, I was wearing my Omega 2531.80 project watch and happened to be wearing a T Shirt, but again, no flashing of it on my part, and no overt examination from my friends. Ha,... most of the time I wear my Reps with jeans and t shirt also ... i really can't see paying 300 times what something is really worth .. when you talk cars.. now that's different ...LOL ... I'm sure there are other members who need to dress for "sucsess" so to speak so the high end reps really do well here It all comes down to :... THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND BOYZ ARE THE PRICE OF THEIR TOY'S... -

I am assuming that JCB and Mr. Biver are one in the same .... What this sounds like to me is a classic example of disinformation, I do not think Hublot would like it widely known that their Rolls Royce of watches is manufactured in China .. except for the movement which is "supposed" to be a in house make ... If you were selling a watch for 10 to 20K and it was niether an antique nor platinum with ruby's and emeralds ... would you want it know that this extrodinary piece of jewelry had a "made in China" label ??? I think not.. Japan used to be thought of as cheap and affordable goods .... but their genius was to take and copy a product and vastly improve it's function and quality .. but this took years to establish.... the world news is reporting that China is steering away from "cheap" goods.. I do believe that Mr. Biver should have ... JUST LET IT GO... know it will get interesting ... because it seems he has opened the mythical PANDORAS BOX ... Disinformation can really work against you .... you tell a lie ... then you have to tell another lie to cover the first.. and on and on .. ad infinitum... "the greatest gift to a liar is to remember what he said yesterday" It will be entertaining to say the least.. -

TJ ..... Nothing drives a nouveu riche person crazier than being treated like the regular schmuck they were before they scooped the lotto Yes,.. I guess it is true "New Money shows it .. Old money knows it and doesn't have to flaunt it.. more low profile .. because it's not a big deal to them ... it's been in the family for a long time" -

HK's antique brown alligator is awesome

I did, and the formula was 6.60 ... regardless, for the item coming from Cali .. it could not have been more than 8 or 9 dollars .. the invoice the seller posted after I won over rode the ebay invoice i would have created after I won the item
-
Seller: chronoswissprince( 402 ) for others who may win an auction then be surprise by the postage.. this was the seller and thank you Ken for the info.. Lanikai

anything wrong with this picture ? Subtotal: US $49.99 ...this is what I won the strap for Shipping and handling: US $18.58 ... this is really high for a strap to be shiped .. Shipping insurance (required): US $4.65 .. WOW.. is this strap gold ?? Seller discounts or charges: -- Total: US $73.22 Ok .. I bid on a Breitling rubber (gen) divers strap for my SOSF,.. I WON THE ITEM FOR 49.99 ... i was really surprised .. (happily) I got the invoice from the seller and OMG ... it happened to be the same "total" price as the "buy it" breitling strap I bought from another seller .. I checked with ebay shipping.(coming from Cali) . it should have been 6.60 usd...for priority .. I paid about that for the breitling strap coming from the East Coast so I messaged the seller with an inquiry about the difference.. now given my history ..LOL.. with messages I tried to be extra careful in my choice of words... what I got back was in effect .. "Hey if you don't like it to bad" Just wondering if anyone had a similar experience.... PS ..... I still bought it

that Hublot is so much afraid for this reps... tell us how "overpriced" there watches are... quote Tourby a diamond that is sold on diamond row in New York is bought by 2 different dealers.. one is, Tiffany and the other is your local jeweler .. Tiffany's sells their VS 1 ,.. D colour for 6K ..... the local Jewler sell the exact same diamond for 2K (as an example) Granted Tiffany's has generations of quality, not to mention history and marketing and advertising .. in all the Posh periodicals.. but after working in the wholesale and retail jewelry industry.. and seeing the triple key stone ... sometimes more .... does it really matter where the product comes from .. or that we are paying for sometimes identical Reps ?? I know that the nouveu riche like to throw money around like confetti (proving what shallow and ultimately tasteless individuals they are) but most people are not going to pay more for something than necessary ..Quote-TJ Good point TJ... as an example .. there is a guy that I run into at the coffee shop I frequent ... and when he see's me he has to bring his wrist "up" so I can "see' what's on it... he has to park his Hummer in the front in the red zone so it can be "seen" .. now unless I'm mistaken his watches are poor quality REPS ... he approached me awhile ago asking if that was a Panerai i had on.. I said yes and shrugged it off .. as "no big deal" .. he then went into a long winded disertation on the fact that he get's his watches from a Beverly Hills dealer that gives him incredible prices ... I think the point I'm making is that most of us don't have this Obsessive hobby so we can brag on what we wear.. but because we are just "crazy mad" about the "ART" of these mechanical beasts .. and know that the prices in the "stuffy stores" are in fact "crazy" what drives the "posers" crazy is to be "ignored" ... LOL Hublot, like Omega and Rolex, have been found to outsource their part manufacture to China so they can keep down production costs,...quote TJ We found the same source....LOL -

the new cappaccino dial and strap that is soon to be released looks soooo gooooood .. so much for "bet you can't get just one" -
cheap asian 21j model has the pvd i believe..108 usd
-
with the amount of sleep i get you may be absolutely correct.. i confuse myself... but i was told of the difference when i was trying to decide on the model i wanted
-
the HBB with PVD bezels are supposed to be ceramic.. sorry no pics you would have to ask the collector to email u the models and pics .. he advised me that the genuines are ceramic and the model i was first interested in was pvd bezel, because i found the ss/ceramic more to my liking .. there is a difference in the pricing of ceramic.. it is the same maker that makes the bezel for the genuine
-
sorry guy's my bad.. ask hambone how his is holding up
-
the more expensive models have ceramic bezels.. and are the same ones that are used on the genuines... bezel factory is in china.... some of the other lesser models are PVD bezels or ss bezels ... the ceramic bezels can fit on the genuine watches.. (same ones) .. hence the price difference
-
the Gold will not wear out easily it is 5 mil thick ... that is a very , very ,.. thick plating .. plus price differences depends on the bezel being ceramic or PVD.. the genuine is ceramic.. and it is the same one used on the genuine..
