  1. I bought this watch. Loved it...

    If you have not, please spare some time to read BT's review on this watch for the CHS and ICHS.

    Nobody will realise the ICHS unless they're looking for it or they unwind your crown to mess with the GMT needle. The swiss 2836-2 is a workhorse and i recommend it over the asian clone Ultimate due to the problems some have reported.

    Hope i helped and do PM me if you have any other queries my friend

  2. I'm looking to buy the GMT Master 2, but with the newer style bezel. How much does bklm1234 sell them for? And is the quality that much better from the GMT Master 2 replica from King/Josh?

    Thanks!

    Err Do you mean the GMT IIc with the ceramic bezel and rolex green needle? BK doesn't sell this yet. Or are you talking about his transformer?

  3. CIO - Is that a Chief Intelligence Officer? Does that mean you work in CIA?

    And yeah, of course there's a Mac

  4. personally, i think she'd still be fine with a Windows device...but you know the creative types prefer Macs...

    gtanak --> thanks...i agree i didn't leave too much room...and the MacBook Pro 15 is what i was looking at...but geeeez, these are pricey...do i need it that loaded or is there an alternative?...

    R-

    Well ... the creative types go for Macs not because its cool :p There're many good reasons and for me, the most impt is there's no blue screen of death. Force Quit actually does wonders.

    Many alternatives.

    1)You could go for a mid spec one and add on ram, Hdd etc much later on when needed. The essential is to start with a good/decent graphic card (at least 256mb) and Hi-Res screen is a nice but not necessary option cos you could always calibrate your monitor. Find 'alternate' solutions for your software and with Ed discount... prob you can get it just under 2.2K?

    2) You could get a 15" notebook, format it and install Leopard and you have a franken Mac.

    If you want something that can go for 2-4 years... you have to be prepared to pay upfront. If you want a base model and spend money along the years to upgrade it bit by bit.. you can always start with a base laptop or MacbookPro.

    COm'on.. its not so pricey if you put up 1 or 2 keepers for sale :) You prob have change left over hehe ;P

  5. You didn't leave much choice :) 13-15", Mac, balanced yet good for design...

  6. Just did a comparison between using Watchlume ultimate green + watchlume binder vs AF-Luminova Green + AF binder.

    Conclusions :

    Watchlume is significantly brighter compared to AF after exposure to 10 sec of UV and of course both are much brighter compared to rep lume. This is a donor Cali dial and on the left (inclusive of 12 marker) is watchlume and on the right is AF-Lume (inclusive 6 marker) Numerals 8 and 5 are intentionally left untouched (ie rep lume) for a comparison. Well, with my iphone the results are not SO obvious, but they are. Well done Watchlume!

    PS: Thanks for the cali dial Dani

  7. Not being vindictive but you should inform ebay of this and pretend to insist that the seller fulfills his part of the sale. Not that you will get your items but at least this guy doesn't go round doing this again soon cos hopefully ebay does something about it.

  8. Well, look at it this way.. he will NEVER ship anything to you... And you should not pay anything above what you bidded for those items despite what he says. Leave it up to Ebay, he'll get banned and return with another userid since his reputation is not impt seeing he only has 2 feedbacks..
