I used to believe in God until I finally had the opportunity to actually think about it and reason through it. IF God or gods exist I do not believe they are anything like the ones depicted in Christianity or Islam or whatever. The universe is too big and this planet is far to small and insignificant. If all that existed in the Universe was our system, then I might believe, but when you are talking about billions of GALAXIES, each with hundreds of billions of stars.. well, anyone who believes this Universe is just here for the sake of our pathetic, insignificant existence is infinitely naive and more than a bit arrogant. If there is a design to this Universe, then I believe we are just an aftereffect of the mechanics that were set in motion thirteen trillion years ago. I have not seen ANY proof that one religion has got it right. Religion is a method of control. ALL religions have documented "miracles", so if they all have miracles, none of them count as true Divine Miracles since logically only the true God should be able to perform them. There will be those that say they believe and don't question. That is fine, but I would rather be awake to the world rather than follow something that I can't believe in my head, belief in your heart is an emotional, vulnerable and easily manipulated thing.. and it's the emotion that traps people. Some say ignorance is bliss... Not me.

Ok, going to backtrack again! lol, was too fast to reply both times.. the pic in his sale post is a rep, the pics of the actual watch hes selling is real.
-
It's blurry, but the bottom pic looks like a gen. Notice the older bracelet, the thinner metal surrounding the date and the smaller serifs on the numbers (can really only see the 9 on the bottom pic, but it looks right. EDIT.. OK. It's the TOP pic hes selling!!! It's DEFINATELY a rep.. for all the reasons stated above.
-
Yeah.. I ordered one from this guy last week and got it yesterday. I had no clue it would be this good, but it had thinner numbers than the one that comes on the rep so I took a chance. It's fantastic. I may get an all black and a red/black now.

Dealers Disappearing? There May Be A Reason..
z80 replied to sashwatch's topic in General Discussion
I find my self wondering if there are people that come in from the Genuine boards, make nice and buy a rep then report to paypal. If this is the case I blame people who post pics of reps on the gen boards. -
It's a Timex TX 500, the image came from ebay, but I suspect it's a stock pic.
-
If you want a good world time watch that will work and you can rely on, I gotta vote for the Timex..

Fliplockbuckle Finally Got Em, The Perfect Crownguards
z80 replied to FlipLockBuckle's topic in The Rolex Area
Ok, to me it looks like the original watch shown (the suspect genuine 14060) has correct a NON-SEL bracelet, but the Alpha clearly looks like the fake hollow "SEL" beacelet seen on rep subs about 4 years ago. -
Fliplockbuckle Finally Got Em, The Perfect Crownguards
z80 replied to FlipLockBuckle's topic in The Rolex Area
So.. all he needs to do is pop the bracelet off and so us a pic that DOSEN'T say 14060 on the lug. Right? -
That looks fantastic. Shape the CG's a bit and you will have it just about perfect. I love the dial!!
-
I too have never heard of that model VC chrono being repped with a working chrono movement (stopwatch hand is perfectly at 12 and the crown is in).. so I say REAL. Look at the date font too.. rep makers never get those right
-
Can't see the pics. Unless it's a perfect working rep of Jessica Alba I think I'll pass.
-
Sorry to hear this.. Man, I have a 1st gen Asian "seconds at 6" Daytona I got from TTK when they first came out. Must be pushing 2 years old by now. The seconds hand has the classic jitters that this generation had, but it really seems to have improved with age, and it still runs PERFECT, even the stopwatch. It keeps better time than my genuine Breitling and the steel even seems to be pretty scratch resistant. I had hoped the newer ones would be better.
-
Oh yeah.. hella fake. No doubt. No swan neck. It's a classic Asian Unitas movement. He's adveritsing a Swiss ETA, it is not Swiss. It looks like he is selling it as a rep not real based on the ambiguous wording of the post.

Ot : Do You Think It Is Kinda Of Over The Top To Drive A Bmw ?
z80 replied to wadan's topic in The looney bin
I'm not a huge BMW fan. The Passat might be nice. I just had an 2007 Audi A4 loaner while my TT was in for service. It was a REALLY sweet ride. I was very impressed with it, but I was glad to get my TT back.. I like the sports car thing a bit more than the luxury car thing. -

Stage 1: Production Of Submariner Cases: Would Anyone Be Intrested?
z80 replied to FlipLockBuckle's topic in The Rolex Area
I would go for one.. let me know when you are ready for a deposit! -
Well, he says the bracelet is fake. I think the watch head is genuine. The bracelet is a BAD fake.. look at the fake SEL's.
-
Sorry the pic isn't real clear, I'll try to put up a better one later, but here is the real deal, compare for yourself.. Back too.
-
I don't think those pics are of the Swiss 7753.. look at how deep the date is. I thought the date depth was the main visual reason to go with the Swiss 7753 over the Asian 7750. I would guess he just dosent have pics of the Swiss one yet.
-
Hold on, let me ask my Elf friend here if he's had "reality confusions".... He says no. I haven't either because I have a Magic Helmet stoopid.

Gen 001 Service Pics To Compare To Our Rep Movements
z80 replied to flavor flav's topic in The Panerai Area
Very nice pics, thanks! I never realized the entire case.. well except the back, of an 001 was polished. -
Fantastic watches.. Congrats and enjoy them. I REALLY need to get another 1680.. Out of all the watches I've gotten rid of to make room for new ones, I miss the 1680 the most. Anyone out there got one, drop me a PM.

Everquest. Been playing it off and on for over 6 years and it's still more entertaining that most games out there. 2nd would be F.E.A.R. I love the mix of FPS and the style of Japanese Horror. Play this at night and you will be looking over your shoulders.
