Thanks, Guys

and I'm sitting next to Marcos Baghdatis' trainer during the Clement/Baghdatis match, and MAN O MAN I look at his wrist and there is a sweet sweet gen Vacheron Constantine Overseas Chrono in black dial with SS band on it. Yum Yum I didn't say anything about it, since I was just sporting my DSSD rep, and didn't want to chance him looking at it closely. The furry patch of hair in the lower right corner is the Trainer. The dude with the racket is Baghdatis.

Looks like the clouds have parted and the botstorm is over. Sounds good to me. No one heard of this being a net-wide outbreak? I don't think anyone would waste their time hitting me personally. That's just crazy talk.

Oh, I don't run a 2-seater. If you look towards the beginning of the thread, I have a lovely aluminum-silver A8.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas, white dial. look in this sales thread for a lot of good pics

Preeettyyyy

Nice W12, Watchmeister!

I have driven up Mt Washington, and its incredible how there can be no guard rail .. no curb .. NOTHING .. and a half mile drop straight down right at the edge of the road. It's butt-clenching time when you look over. People who race on that are simply insane.

That's good news. Glad you're happy with it.

Pure class, as someone already mentioned!

That is too funny. What did the twins say about your fabulous watch?

The proportions of the GWSD are hypnotic. They really make me stare.

We somehow need to combine this thread with the one from last year where a Forum member was called out during a business meeting regarding his UPO, which also ended well for the member.

Welcome! Enjoy your time here.

An asian 21j (either high or low beat) is theoretically a solid workhorse movement, but in reality it is subject to non-existent quality control. Yours will either serve you well for years or need replacing within a few months .. randomly. A base A21j (2813 or 4813) supports hours, minutes, seconds, and the date and will cost somewhere around 20 or 30 USD retail in single quantities. The main stumbling block here is QC. It simply doesn't exist. You get what you get and maybe it's broken .. maybe it's not. An ETA 7750 is (first of all) a chronometer movement. In addition to it's watch function, it's a precision stopwatch, with multiple hands and sub-dials. It has 200 (or more?) precision finished parts, all whirring around inside of it. These movements are polished, decorated, calibrated in multiple positions, etc etc .. a part meant to be as perfect as possible out of the box. You are paying for it's complexity, the labor involved in assuring it's correct and of course the salaries of the workers who do all this .. probably 100x what a chinese worker makes. By coincidence, you chose two movements which are completely at the opposite ends of the watch spectrum .. the humble chinese workhorse and the rarefied swiss super-stopwatch. If we consider two movements more alike, like an ETA 2824 and a Chinese exact copy 2824, the retail cost difference is about 60 USD. The chinese clone ETA movement has less fine finish on the gears, no QC (again) and casual assembly practices. question answered?

That's long been a dream of mine, Nanuq The bot storm is still raging here, as of 20:00 GMT .. at least the days are long gone when a small time bot owner could bring down your net connection with an attack like this. 2000 bots would have made my old 28.8k modem assplode.

For that kind of tool, you should have the watch body firmly held in a case vice, attached to a workbench with screws

Oh I was just playing up the joke cornerstone made about porn vids on my server. I don't actually have any open ports on my firewall for serving files to the Internet. All 2000 hosts were auto-banned for msql exploit attempts to gain heightened privs.

It's easy to tell if you look at the curved bezel insert triangle and the fat hour markers. that spells "noobfactory"

Ohh right. come to think of it, I did just put up lindsay.lohan.does.rayjay.wmv on the ftp site! Thanks for clearing this up for me. I'll check the logs again after lunch and see if all the bad bots have gone home finally.

fantastic photos, as well.

beautiful

Yes the datewheel is the stock, left-justified problem .. I have a PM into FxrAndy about this, regarding his superb replacement silver dw. Forum member JMB did all the casework for the original owner (w0lf) .. so you'd have to talk to him about cutting your case and rings and whatnot. And Stephane, I understand that Mary from Watch International can get the folded link bracelet from the new "1:1" Josh 1655 offering .. which many people say is quite good.
