What is the other crown for? maybe an HE valve? EDIT: maybe not as HE valves are only on divers watches. From the Tag website "Crowns: 2 polished and fluted crowns, engraved with ‘SLR’ at 3 o'clock and with a stamped TAG Heuer logo at 9 o'clock." Doesnt really explain

Yeah thanks for that, it seems with further research that there isnt a player available that can play ISO's straight from a HDD Im now looking at a media centre so i can stream the movie ill see how that goes

You might want to clarify, Im not really sure what you mean

Got a new Full HD TV and dont have a DVD player. Im currently just using my PC and connecting via an S-video cable which is fine. But its a pain in the asss to keep moving the PC to the TV connecting the cable and when finished moving the PC back again. I dont want a Blu ray player, or DVD recorder i just want a standard DVD player. Here is my question: I have seen that there are DVD players with USB ports but what file formats can they read form the USB port? I have lots of movies but they are DVD rips and they are in VOB or ISO format. Can these players read these formats? If so it would be great as id just use my external HDD, plug into the DVD and watch what i want. Can anyone help?

To all members and admin i dont want this to get ugly, i sincerely hope it doesnt Just voicing my opinion. Hope we can all solve it amicably

If this is the case, dont buy the oris carlos coste its one heavy hunk of steel! Hope you sort this out but it may not be the watches as i have never heard of this before. may be wrong though

I have read it all again and have calmed down slightly since TT's PM your right Kruzer and others, if people want to give its their choice

Not good pics but its the Oris Carlos Coste on bob leather, modified to fit the Oris

Simpy because you dont have collector status and collectors have to pay a monthly fee

Twins!!! Congrats! Also JMT congrats on the third!

This was in reference to me becoming a collector an having collector status. The Zigmeister, K2222 and yourself do not collector status either but provide a service to the boards. I was simply making the point its not far that i have to become a collector and pay a monthly fee when im simply doing the movement sale for the forum and make next to nothing. If i were making a shed load no problem ill contribute

I dont want the info on who donates, dont know where you got that from

If everyone else who sells or provides a service then no problem

Thats great cornerstone thanks:) lol

I dont want this post to get ugly, im just stating my opinion and it has all come about due t my post ain TT's thread and his retaliation @cheif, to calrify your points Maybe you can clarify: 1. You don't think people should fundraise to support the forum because it causes "problems". What kind of problems? For whom does it cause problems? Problems for you? It has not caused problems for me. It has shown to cause a problem with TT's fund raising post 2. You don't think people should be able to publicly raise money on a voluntary basis for another forum member because they aren't raising money for your bid to receive an MBA. In fact you think that doing so is disgusting. Why would raising money for someone other than you be acceptable if done behind your back? If anything, that would seem worse. The POTR auctions were in a good case, or so it seems. With so much internet scamming going on at the moment I was dubious to say the least. Maybe POTR really did need help, i dont know but here is not the place for this sort of thing. Its a watch forum, to discuss watches and buy, sell, trade watches not a donation or fund raising site. It has nothing to do with my MBA or studies, i was just giving an example, if 1 person does it another may try and then where does it stop. I will not be asking for hand outs, thank you 3. You do think my donations to RWG should be made public. Why doesn't that conflict with #2? It seems like ajoesmith wants it both ways, or do I not understand? No you have misunderstood, if people want to fundraise for the forum for whatever reason ok do it, make a donation to T or whoever, do it behind closed doors. as i have said above its a watch forum not a donation forum. as for donating to people it shouldnt happen at all as i have said above

ok chill out TT your correct i couldnt post that PM as it has been deleted fro my inbox a long time ago! also how come you can post [censored]ing (i just wrote f-u-c-k-i-n-g) but i bet you its censored another Admin trick??????

OK maybe i should clarify and explain what i meant more hat i meant regarding the donations is that recently there have been a flurry of donation so the forum. I dont agree with it. As for picking up my marbles and go home then no of course i wouldn't do that. Dont get m wrong here, i really want RWG to survive but if it needs regular injections of hard earned cash from its members and its going to continue then maybe its best to move on or find a long term solution to the cash problems. I will continue to pay my subscription and give my bit to the fourm, no problems there.

In reply to my post in TT thread this is what is said in hie thread Quote from me - Ajoesmith "It is for these reasons that i think that fund raising for the forum should be stopped. I know the forum needs money but fundraising this way just causes problems. Im going to stick my neck out and say how disgusted i was with the POTR auctions. The guy was in trouble, Im not sure if he was or he wasnt. Hey im struggling right now paying $17,000 last year for teacher training and now $20,000 this year for an MBA. Im [censored]ing broke and need cash. Any of you guys help me out? simply put it shouldn't be allowed! No money should be exchanged for the sake of the forum or its members. if the forum needs money and people really want to give, do it behind closed doors. I have paid my yearly subscription and im here to stay as long as thats in place. Im not dipping into my own pocket every once in a while to keep the forum going." and this is the reply i get from TT QUOTE from TT "I'll tell you what I think... I think you've been extended grace on this Forum and you've abused it... I'm sick at both of your post in my 196 thread... All of your For Sale items will be set invisible... You're a Dealer on Geeks... You want to have the privilege to sell here from now on, then Pony Up big boy... Contact T for Collector Status and Payment... Or post nothing else for sell here... Mike" Man oh man this sounds like blatant retaliation! People are already questioning your integrity as admin staff and you go and do this, i dont get it Ill happily sign up as Collector status if its FREE, the only reason im a dealer on Rgeek is that the admin asked me to and is FREE! Ill certainly sign up here if other people who provide services to the forum do so as well e.g The Zigmeister, Cheiftang, K2222 I make next to nothing from my sales! nothing! how much business has The Zigmeister made from the forum and has he paid for the privilege? chief and K2222? Not a nice tone TT it really does show your true colors! PS THIS THREAD WILL PROBABLY BE SET INVISIBLE OR DELETED BY TT, we shall wait and see

Excellent find! Ill def. be trying this! Cheers

Very nice Rocky Glad you got the movement ok and its working great! Enjoy it!

Your are joking arnt you? Surely you dont try and get the watch to install the hands so the date changes at precisely 12.00.00am? thats 0 mins and 0 secs? did i read correctly? It doesn't matter about the seconds hand, just put it on in any position, its the minute hand and hour hands that are most important

@Freddy This may be true about using the screwdrivers but my advice keep screwdrivers well AWAY from dials, its a recipe for disaster! the edge of a screwdriver will mark the dial so easily!

Yeah, i know that as this is the version i have But today i got a patek watch and it was very similar to the new porto in that there are no screws to hold the bezel in place, but the screw hols for the case back went al the way through so i just put a screwdriver in the hole and hit it with a small watch hammer and the bezel popped off! I was wondering if this was the same for the new porto?

Francisco When you removed the bezel did you notice if the 4 screw holes for the case back actually go through the metal the whole way? Did you take any other pics? if so please post them

Great thanks
