  1. Just borrow the UK government, you wont be able to afford fuel anyway Current price is about $12.25 a gallon...... and diesel is about 20% more expensive at the pumps
  2. Blue, they look nice, more classy than the black by lots but its been years now and I still can't find one with a good colour match on dial and bezel (2 much prince purpleness)
  3. Love my green gas Tokyo Marui Socom Mk23
  4. I will have a pop at getting along, I guess I had best practice my Dutch Biertje?
  5. Tell them it would never be as good as a rep with such poor QC
  6. SOmething to consider though, what if this was a used model that was taken as a part ex (by some naughty rep buyer) most ADs wouldnt even ask
  7. Sun is out today so, sand linen/silk suit and these bad boy C&Js (about to be cleaned and polished) with my HBB Rosie
  8. A pair of luxuriant brown/tan shoes or in my case oxblood shoes delightful with a navy suit. One of the few things for which the English can, with all due malice and madness, hold up their heads, is formal dressing, should they so desire. Sadly, we are a limited breed these days. Personally, football shirts and baggy shorts horrify me. But, it's reassuring that some of us remain true to taste and classic style
  9. No probs, what can I say, wimimin buy loads but usually not to the standard produced for MEN (The Sartorially Classic part of the species)
  10. Currently wearing a pair of oxblood wholecuts like these below from Barker.
  11. Herring shoes are the best place to get them all in one place. There is also a useful guy on the bay getting seconds and subs, still stunning and great value for money. Find him here Elite Forum Totally boss, completely straight about any issues and mails you if something you might like comes in as well
  12. The reason for the ill fitting strap in the film was that the rolex in that take was borrowed from one of the film crew and the bracelet was not large enough for Mr Connery's wrist and the strap was oiked from some pleace else at short notice to make the scene. Or so it is reported in some places
  13. Hi Doc, welcome to the forum. Hope you have a blast
  14. If anyone is interested I can give a supplier for slight seconds at about half the price from Church, Cheaney, Loake, Barker etc based in the UK in Northampton of course
  15. Myself being an English chap Crockett and Jones Churches Barker Trickers Loakes at a push I do prefer the classic lasts but love to treat myself occasionally with a pair of custom Church shoes or boots
  16. But, there is no proven risk to cell phone use...
  17. Im with V, it seems a good mid range and I still think it should be compulsory, might put off the idiot fraternity.
  18. The GMT, mine maybe. Is Niiiice
  19. How rude, no non-Dutchies Thats just so Beneluxian Massive See if Im around at the time nd pop down and say Hi
  20. Done, like I wouldnt support this place? Where else would I be able to kick my boots off and light a cigar away from the missus?
  21. @Doc - THnaks man, I misread, I thought the description of the bezel had changed. Apologies all round.
  22. With the exotics I look at it this way, if the animal was killed for a reason (over population, in a game reserve or the like, or perhaps died due to other natural reason) then thats fine. IN fact I suspect there must be some sort welfare group doing just this. Or is it okay to kill some animals like gators, crocs or sharks but big cuddly elephants, pangolins and manchester united fans are unacceptable. I am just curious as to the rational behind the comments that all. BTW, it is a great looking strap.
  23. Nice but I will wait for the next version, did I understand that the description was changed after the ceramicness was questioned? Sounds a bit naughty, like "oh sh1te, I've been found out better update that" type of thing? No, Im sure it was coincidence.
  24. I must admit, I have moved a bit to gens since the insane price jumps, I picked up an Oris F1 chrono recently from the bay (just getting serviced) for less than the price of a mid-high price rep. If the guys are not careful they will price themselves out of the market. All we need is one new and reliable dealer to break the cartel and thing will start happening, not buying dont mean jack but competition will break down barricades very fast. As I have mentioned in previous posts, if dealer cant provide spares or good QC then the cheaper gens are going to look better and better
  25. Truth is important, but fun is fun. Carpe Demomentus
