  1. As a young one, just wondering, apart from the jury section, but just the 'watching'/visitors area in the back....are you just allowed to sit there, or is that only for people who actually are involved someway like family members of the accused/defendent, etc?

    I've never quit gotten that. Thanks.

    We only sit in the jury section, obivously.

    But anyone can walk into the courtroom, if they are related or not related, and sit in the viewing benches, unless if the Judge issues an order to seal the courtroom. There were relatives of the murder victim there today, with a reporter who wrote an awful lot and there were law students watching too, who came in, and left after an hour or so.

  2. This watch makes the Patek Sky Moon Tourbillon look like [censored]. I would love to own it, if I win Friday's lottery. VC makes the best minute repeaters out there, I've heard a few of them chime, and they have the best chiming sound of the 20 or so AP, PP, BP, IWC, Breguet repeaters I've played with.

  3. So admin, does the accused have a guilty look (a look that he wants to kill you isnt really a 'love look'...I know :p )....or is it that Dr. Kevorkian's son :o Or does he look like he's being set-up?

    Well, as far as I know, the prosecutor at her opening statements, said there is DNA evidence, videotapes and other hearsay evidence such as witnesses as evidence. We are told approximately 40 witnesses will be called by the prosecutor (Including pathologists, DNA experts, shoe experts and etc.), and 10 witnesses by the defense.

  4. All the defense did today was mutter all day long, even the judge and court recorder had to tell the defense lawyer to speak up. Meanwhile, all the jurors were half-asleep in the box, and one guy had his head down the whole time in boredom. Meanwhile the accused still stared at us as if he wanted to murder all of us. Not a good impression to the people who will decide if he goes to jail or not.

    And I was wearing the same GP Seahawk II today, and for everyday this week.

  5. The prosecutor still kept on blowing hot air today! Gosh it was so boring, and this is just opening arguments! We still have to wait for the defence's opening arguments tomorrow, the prosecutor finished at 3pm, the defence said they weren't ready yet, the judge got angry at the defence and dismissed us,to return at 9am tomorrow morning. This is going to be one long trial indeed.

  6. Looks damn nice to me... maybe it's another watch I'm thinking of, but I think it's just missing the 8 day counter on the back... or is that only in the radiomir?

    You're thinking about the Radiomir 8 days with the JLC movement. This is a reproduction with the Angelus 8 day movement.

  7. This is $33 grand, at 50% discount it is still $16,500. Dutchy better hurry, one piece left :lol:

    Damn, I would pick that beast up in a heartbeat at $16,500 a piece. In fact, get me a 100 of them if you can. These things are rare as hell now. They were like $16,500 list when they came out like 2-3 years ago, and these things are going for twice of list.

  8. In addition, I guess it can be considered an honour, seeing that I became a Canadian citizen not too long ago, and this is, after all, one of our civic duties. I guess I can finally feel like a true citizen now. :)

  9. It's a fantastic rep, I used to hae it too, but sold it off. After seeing these pictures, I ordered it again from River. The flaws are the crown sticks out a bit too much, and the date font is incorrect, and the roman numerals are too large. But it's good quality.

  10. Yea.....but you dont have an AP to look at when you're sitting there.......

    All I could do was stare at the judge's full gold/ diamond bezel President Rolex today, rather than my basic GP, which no one could tell from a Timex anyways. :p

    But of course as you said, I won't mention the case or the courthouse I am at during the day. But I will update you guys on how it's like to be a juror and what type of evidence is there.

  11. So, today was the first day of jury duty.

    Gosh, the accused with his murderous eyes staring at you throughout the whole session is actually quite unnerving since I'm sitting in the front row. But today wasn't too bad, the judge instructed us about our duty, what we are supposed to do and such. Then it was lunch, then opening arguments went on for a little bit from the prosecutor's side, which actually was kind of interesting. Then we adjourned at 4pm and told to return tomorrow at 10am.

    And oh yeah, I was wearing a lower-key watch today, a GP Seahawk II on Rubber strap.
