I'm happy to buy a rep watch but I would not take a chance with my eyes. 

Seriously, your eyes are well worth a genuine pair of decent sunglasses Sir.

I agree but he is a killer, what made Connery so good was how suave he was and yet he still looked like he could actually DO the job. 

He would be a good shout, Connery was Bond, part of the character will forever be woven to him in a way that no other will ever rival, that said Daniel Craig reclaimed a bit of credibility for the movies after some woeful actors playing the part.

Bond should be someone who you believe could be capable of  kicking your ass when you watch the film, Moore? Brosnan? really?

I actually enjoy and look forward to the Bond movies coming out now, Daniel Craig plays the part very well.

Hey!

Lookin for a budget cam on eBay, I mysteriously came across a Olympus e410 D-SLR for about 130Euros. I thought what the heck and bought it. It is from a reputable seller and is refurbished straight from Olympus. Of course with the lens included!

So what do you say, did I make a good buy? Will I be happy with the cam? The only downside of this cam is that is does not support auto focus when you want to use the display for "live view".

A friend has one of these and he loves it.

As lazarini says, lenses are the bit that can make a huge difference, in you case though I think the kit lens is made by Zuiko and they are supposed to be superb.

Very good move buying it.

and just buy one, lovely watch for the cash.

Peter is a trustworthy dealer too.

The Black Flag is really nice, like that.

I just don't like the markers at 6 & 9 on these, makes the dial look unbalanced to me.

I think I'll stick with the old one.

This one?

Its not a huge job but it involves removing the movement, removing the hands and dial, putting the legs of the omega symbol through the dial and securing with a tiny amount of glue. Then its all back together.

Unless you know a rep friendly watch repairer, I would think it would be easier to send it back to the dealer.

If you are thinking of having a lume job or a service done on it, might be an ideal time to give The Zigmeister a shout.

Looks much better Andrew, was it made from titanium or steel?, I've heard Ti is a [censored] to work with.

She hit every branch on the way down didn't she.

I wonder if the guy's wife gives him sh*t like mine does.

"How many f*cking arm have you got?" She said to me last night.

Cheers for keeping us updated Nightstroker, must break the monotony of your working day anyway.

Always horrible to loose a pet.

Well done mate, good to hear it going to someone who will acually appreciate it and not just flip it for profit.

It holds in place and allows adjustment of the regulator arm of the movement, as far as I know anyway.

Sorry to hear that Freddy, I have pretty much gave up modding reps as I just found it too frustrating.

Hope it starts to come together for you mate.

I have two "Awaiting Customs Charging" nothing special about that....... but 8days and counting now.

Usually out in 2-3days, hope this is not going to be my first loss.

18th now and no sign of customs letting them go.

I hate waiting, keep telling myself they will be on their way soon and not to check but just can't help myself.

In your situation Scherm I would be saying "what package?" Best to ask Andrew what he wants you to do though.

Good Luck!

Wish you all the best Turbo, would be great to see a scammer caught.

Wiseman, well done for getting involved.

I would take it to a watchsmith (not an AD) and ask him to have a look, parts might be a potential problem so he may not be able to fix it.

Worth a shot though.

Your other option is to contact The Zigmeister, he's kind of like the A-team, if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire........The Zigmeister.

No idea if he is busy or even taking work at the moment.

Cheers for that, interesting vid.

you will need a watchsmith to recalibrate it for you.

I think you have adjusted the beat rate, unless I'm mistaken (happens often) you will need a watchsmith to recalibrate it for you.
