Samples.............What samples?

The funniest one in my opinion will win a $1000 RWG Cash Prize. You can either make it yourself or rip it off from another website. I'll start with a homemade one:

Submariner by Rolex.

I can only imagine the creative responses this could have drawn. Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.................

Quadrato Perpetual Calendar by Ulysse Nardin.

Octa Calendrier by FP Journe.

I'll get one for now, and send you payment in Sterling cash.

How did I see the ending would come to that? Damn, I'm good. Thanks for changing the way I look at rubber straps from now on

http://shopping.e-conveni.net/item_info.ht..._id=842985& Watchhonpo is selling the exact same one that EL posted for sale a few days ago. So it does seem like it has the new Asia 7750 movement! But, it seems he's selling it for less than half of his older version too...... Is this an ominous sign? From what I can see already, the He valve is different and the back engravings don't seem as deep and sharp as the first version, while the upside is the new movement and no more plastic spacer ring like the old one.

It would just make football look bad as a sport in general, it sends the message that cheating will bring you glory IMO, and it would be ironic in the sense the whole candal is revolving around match-fixing. We'll wait and see.

Before the game, he was talking about moving to Real Madrid, I guess he has even more motivation to do so now, as I think he can't even step foot in England anymore.

I found it quite sad that it seems the 2 best players in the world according to FIFA were absolutely useless the whole tournament. Ronaldinho did absolutely nothing with all the hype surrounding him, Brazil was utterly disorganized and put on a very disappointing show this year at the World Cup, looks like no more glory for Ronaldo's final World Cup. Also, unfortunately Frank Lampard was as useless as a chocolate teapot this World Cup too, while scoring plenty in qualifying and for Chelsea.... Sad that Beckham and probably Neville's time for England ended in such circumstances. I would have accepted a 1-0 defeat much better than a loss on penalty shootout. Also, I'm starting to wonder what will happen to C.Ronaldo when he returns to Man Utd, Rooney will probably break his legs and Van Nistelrooy may join in too.

We all have to realize many of these people have regular daytime jobs and do these on their spare time, and people must not set their standards too high, one must understand the time and effort they put into offering services like these, otherwise we probably wouldn't be close to having decent 196s and 188s or good magnification. It's the same thing with dealers and what not, one expects them to reply within 15 minutes, while not realizing that they may actually have a life or a job. I sometimes even feel guilty for PMing about services and not coming through because of other things in my life that distract me from modding reps. To be honest, I wouldn't offer any services myself if I had the expertise or skill because of the people involved, people pestering you 24/7 while flaming or publicly vilifying you, it's just to much hassle, and that's why sometimes I'm even reluctant to sell anything on here because of the extra stress on top of my already stressful life, since I have another upcoming trip, getting married soon, getting fiancee citizenship and a whole bunch of other crap, that's why I would never offer to do a project until I've settled down again. We're all human after all. I'm saying this probably, because as the resident AP, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin expert around here, I have had a huge amount of PMs from noobs asking me to explain every single detail about each rep vailable from delaers and I'm glad to help, but sometimes I get the one person that doesn't stop pestering me until I reply, which may be a few days later, and same goes for my sale posts, I get some people who I may not reply to for 2 or 3 days pester me to end, filling up my inbox. And this is just the communication part, let's not even talk about getting crowns, cyclops or datewheels done. Just my early morning rantings, as I prepare to go home later today.

I have a Richard Mille 005 at the moment, and have an Urwerk coming in pretty soon, which is by Felix Baumgartner, the guy who designed the Opus 5 for Harry Winston, it's a fraction of the price of the HW and is basically the exact same watch. To be hoenst, the RM 005 isn't that impressive for its price tag, and all their tourbillon models are $200,000+. The UN Freak is worth owning. I had one of them some time ago, and it's worth every penny as it is true revolutionary, creative and unique unlike most other watches that are just followers. Unfortunately, there has been some problems with the movement, I heard from UN and they are fixing the watches of current owners.

One time wonders..........

My fiancee is Portuguese and I was afraid this was going to ruin our relationship. She called me just about an hour ago to rub it in my face. I accepted England's defeat, you can't blame Portugal, it was poor management and a fundamental miscalculation on Erkisson's part. He should have benched Lampard, who was more useless than a chocolate teapot during this whole World Cup. You can't blame C.Ronaldo for Rooney's sending off, you could say it may be a case of poor sportsmanship, but Rooney needs to keep his temper at bay, as pushing Ronaldo and probably saying a F word or two was the cause of his send off. He may have been able to get away with the stomping with just a yellow card.

It's all over............ Come on Germany!!!!!!!!!!

I also would not hesitate to put down 100% deposit either.

A. Lange and Sohne.

It's a little allusion to the upcoming feature in my collection..............

Nope, not in denial, and I do admit I may treat reps a little rougher than the genuines I have, since the genuine are tens of times more expensive. Having said that, I give some reps extra care because of their price or just simply because I favour them.
