  1. An on duty Gendarme spots a hire car approaching the Champs Elysees with

    a rear light out. He beckons the driver to pull over, which he does and

    winds his window down. The Officer has a good look inside the car and

    notices that the driver and passenger are co-joined twins, Boaby & Davy.

    Instead of making an issue over the light out situation he begins to

    engage in some friendly chat.

    Gendarme: Ah, you are on holiday my friends?

    Davy: Aye, that's right big yin. We've been coming every September

    weekend for the last 9 years.

    Gendarme: So I guess you come to France to get away from ze rainy

    weather you have in Ecosse?

    Davy: Naw, it nearly always pishes doon when we come here. Your

    weather's nae better than oors, in't that right Boaby?

    Boaby: Aye.

    Gendarme: Zen I take it you are here to enjoy our delicious French food,

    very healthy.

    Davy: Naw, yer food's mingin big man, everything reeks of garlic. We've

    brought a box full of pieces to avoid eating your crap.

    Gendarme: Zen you must be here to drink our famous wines and cognac,

    surely.

    Davy: Yer swally's boggin, we've hid tae bring a kerry oot. In't that

    right Boaby?

    Boaby: Aye.

    Gendarme (by now ever so slightly bemused): Well in that case you must

    be here to see the Parisienne madamoiselles, ze most beautiful women in

    Europe.

    Davy: Yer kiddin in't ye! The burds here are dugs, ah widnae touch them

    wae yours big yin.

    Gendarme (by now rather irate): Zen why do you people come to our

    country if everysing ees so bad?

    Boaby: It's the only chance oor Davy gets tae drive!

  2. Not trying to be a wise guy, but why not just replace the original movement...???

    Because I enjoy playing with them, its not as if they are hugely expencive, if it does not work out, I will happily bin it.

    The difference between 6 and 8 stops per second is miniscule,

    Plain as day to me, cant see how you would not notice the difference.

    And...There are a whole bunch of "tiny" parts below the second hand...In fact the entire movement falls into that category

    Its acually directly underneth the second hand, touches it.

    Perhaps a picture...???

    Camera broken, so unable to take a pic at the moment, sorry.

  3. Hi guys,

    I swapped the movement in my steelfish for a 28k asian movement but have ran into a problem.

    I have a problem where the watch stop at the same point in a 24hour period.

    Does not seem to be hands fouling.

    When I swapped the movement there was a small part under the second hand that was really tough to remove, its tiny and I pesume I have damaged it taking it off.

    I would replace it but I don't know what its called or where to buy it.

    Any ideas, love the watch and really want to fix it.

  4. Thanks so much!

    Unfortunately, my eye made a decision before my brain could process it and next thing I knew I had plunked down money for a Gen! Pics soon!

    That is not something you will ever regret, good move.

    Congratulations and I look forward to seeing lots of pics.

    :good:

  5. I contacted the previous buyer and asked him to report it too.

    These guys should just be banned from selling, simple as that.

    No way its an oversight or honest mistake.

    Private listing too, nice try.

    Thanks for your comments guys, I sometimes think we are more honest than the guys on the genuine watch forums.
