  7. Here are his pics.JPG] .JPG] .JPG] .JPG] Heres what he said hi there, as promised, please find enclosed photos. not great but despite what people say on ebay it's dificult to take close up photos. i have made photos overlayed with our daily newspaper, which shows the date to give me at least some credibility. ps:before you even start to bid (should you show interest despite all the forwards and backwards mails which i published) please note that i can not accept paypal (i can't un-tick paypal,otherwise ebay won't allow me to sell my watch,that you can easily check on paypal website). due to south african exchange regulations i have to use a south african business account to transfer money into and the funds must be declared as gift, otherwise the account holder will be taxed heavily (i am using a friends business account). if all the above don't shock you tooooo much, please feel free to bid.

    Personally I prefer the Ultimate. I think with regard to the dial they are both equally inaccurate on the Subdial.... one to dark and one to light. I think both pass as decent reps overall.
  9. I have never bought from him but have sent plenty of Emails with questions. I always found him to reply quickly and informatively even if he doesnt have what I am looking for he still suggests other options.
  10. Do or can any of the latest scanning equipment at airports both personal or baggage harm your watch movement. I have heard some shippers scanners can do this to watches in transit but wasnt sure if this could apply to the ones used at Airports?
  11. I take it .....that it also gives altitude readings @Warren .... thats the first fistie I have seen that didnt make my eyes water!!

  17. Again thats good info as always. Thanks for doing that mate..... Whats the easiest way of telling if two unfitted crystals are man or auto?
  18. Great idea Great work mate +1 on seeing the final results Would also like to see Doc's mod on the CDG bridges
  19. +1 Personally dont like the stitching, I have one similar but no stitching if I was to have it then it would have to be a dark stitch. Certainly if you like the contrast then a dark khaki or buff colour would look better IMHO.
  20. Good stuff, you'll like that DSSD with the mod especially. Great idea mate keeping the missus sweet!! Just remember the acceptable ratio is 25:1 in your favour!! So you have 24 more to buy!!
  21. Yes your right mate......Panerai is Number 1!!! But thats not what hes asking!!! Personally dont like the IWC, or Tags or RXWs
  22. +1 for Watchbitz
  23. Dont forget to post pics!!
  24. Thats normal mate, might follow with 'awaiting custom charges' That doesnt mean you will be. Then you will get passed to distribution then out for delivery. Can take a few days at customs mate.
  25. In the UK the use of the words 'Going equipped' only refers to Burgulary not acts of Violence. The term 'intent' refers to the action taken by a person in hitting them with hands etc or weapon. If you done someone with a bat you would be charged with GBH with intent and carrying an offensive weapon if you took the bat off your attacker and did him with it you would probably be charged with GBH only though tht depends on at what point he stopped being a threat and whether you carried on hitting him with it. For carrying weapons the key as TeeJay mentioned is 'Offensive' basically its an article that can have no other use but as a weapon or be an article carried by a person who could have no other reason than to use it as a weapon. So it can be a matter of circumstances and rely on Police descretion. A kid on the way back from the park carrying a basebal bat and ball during the day has a better reason than a kid on his way back with just the bat at night. So the former wouldnt be considered to be carrying an offensive weapon on the face of it. In the old days it was common practice to always have a ball to hand in your car say if you were carrying a bat or the like in it. Of course sharpening steel combs, razor blades in soles of shoes or sharpened coins were also common plus the Millwall brick (rolled up newspaper) was also a way of getting round this if you knew how to use it/them. But generally the best way was to be aware of your surroundings and items to hand and whether or not you feel the situation is deteriotating enough to do so or concerned it would. Kubos were also pretty useful as they sat nicely on a key ring though these were better for self defense rather than offense. Many a time bricks would be removed from the top of gardens walls you name it you can use it. Currently football authorities are considering banning coins at footie matches as they are thrown regularly at fans and players. UK law is softening with self defense mitigation as violent anti social crime increases. The key is 'reasonable' force in self defense which is measured generally in what would it reasonably take to stop that person from threatening or harming you that in turn depends on there size, weapon, number etc. You can also go on state of mind fear can easily turn to panic and panic can increase the response of the defensive action. Basically the 'self defense' defence is subject to great confusion in the UK and where you are in the country, who you are, what you did, how you did it, why you did it and who you did it to can mean the difference between no charge and jail time. Thats IMHO
