  1. You too my friend! My new yellow Seawolf has taken up all my wrist time since I received it, and that is a big thick watch too, but so much better proportioned with the 22mm bracelet and thinner lugs.... I have finally thought of the word that sums up this watch, bulbous, and not in a good way Cheers!
  2. I usually agree with you Lani, but this time I have to say........ NEVER!
  3. Although the photos were really great and did show off the Deepsea well, I still find myself not liking this watch at all. It's not in balance, the bracelet and end links being 20mm is just wrong for such a large thick watch, it looks out of proportion, at least to me anyway
  4. Beautiful pictorial, really fantastic shots
  5. I 100% agree, admins at least should get to know who did this, any lack of response from the OP could even bring up the possibility of self infliction in my book So psiron, who is the guy who did this?
  6. No problem, happy to help (I hope!) I have built lots of PC's way back from the old intel PIII days, and overclocked them too! I have a nice water cooled rig right now, running at 450x9 (quad pumped 1800) 1:1 RAM synched, so that gives a 4050mhz dual core CPU.... It is all about fsb, dividers and multiplyers. With voltage tweaks to keep thing stable, but not too much voltage increasing or things can get hot! That is why peeps invest in crazy large heatsinks and/or watercooling..... Have a peak over here: http://forums.pcper.com/ I used to be active there a long while ago, but no longer. I am sure you could search up a thread or two that could help you out.... Cheers!
  7. Leave your FSB on 133/266 and run the RAM at 133/266 as well. You can use both sticks without any problems. RAM can always run it's rated speeds or lower, so DDR400 can run DDR333 and DDR 266 etc..... I usually don't touch the mobo jumpers, but it depends on the board you have, if you can change the same setting in the BIOS anyway, leave the jumper as is...... There is no point running the RAM faster than the CPU/Motherboard FSB, as there is no "real world" performance gain to be had from doing so. It is pretty much always best to run the CPU and RAM in synch, EG: 1:1 ratio (133/266 for both CPU and RAM) What you could do if you have good cooling, is try raising the FSB from 133, to 140-ish. That would increase your RAM and CPU speed very slightly and increase performance. You would probably have to raise the CPU vcore voltage a little bit and memory too, possibly the northbridge/southbridge voltage....... Keep raising the FSB and see where you get, but only by small increases, and always monitoring temps and running stress test within windows to see if everything is stable (google "orthos") Otherwise you could lower the CPU multipyler, and raise the FSB beyond 133. For example 133x13=1733, or 166x10.5=1740, or 200x8.5=1700.... The last option there would give you the best performance, as you are running the CPU and RAM at 200/400, while keeping the CPU within its rated speed (Your CPU is rated for 1733mhz) The main thing to remember is TEMPS and voltages, do not push too hard too soon and monitor things closely, it also depends on your motherboards BIOS settings and options, you may be limited by what you can change if it was an "off the shelf" PC. Also the motherboard may not be capable of running 200/400 1:1 synch with RAM/CPU..... Cheers!
  8. I heard there was a new ceramic IWC on the way before CNY. I inquired with a dealer about the previous ceramic IWC watch, and was told it would be best for me to wait for the new "ultimate" version
  9. That is way too much, ceramic is not an expensive material, and there are other full ceramic watches for $200-300 or so.... Looks liike more wonky hour markers too!
  10. If I end up buying one, it will be from a dealer with proper QC, like PreciousTime or EuroTimez. This is not a watch you should get from a drop ship dealer, pictures before delivery please!
  11. On the plus side the date font looks good, but the alignment?
  12. Nice find nikos1978! It's probably 44mm, just a typo I hope Although it looks like they still can't place the hour markers straight, the 12 triangle and 9 marker are wonky We should hear more about this watch after CNY
  13. Hehe, I don't blame you, I would not let it out of my sight either As for the DSSD, I have no clue, that is a watch that does nothing for me......
  14. Beautiful watch, I really like it However, I would keep it "as is", I would not want the Rolex engraving on the rehaut, I think it looks tacky like that..... Cheers!
  15. Sony headphones are sheet, just like the apple ones At that price you could use them for shoelaces
  16. Both the croc straps pictured and the blue calf strap I mentioned, plus the gen deployant buckle, all came from ebay.de As Sterling is more or less 1:1 with the Euro now, I haven't looked for a while though...... Cheers!
  17. Sure, I always find the genuine straps on ebay.de to be great value, although not for me any more with the weak
