BTW-if the dollar is so worthless why are 30-year treasuries on a huge run...foreign buyers must still find the underlying credit attractive

You should direct that question to our Chinese dealers; I bet they can tell you who is buying up all those govt bonds.

Also, when a govt sells bonds, it is the buyers who are the creditors and the govt is the debtor.

Ask G.W.Bush to stop to [censored] money in wars all over the planet and solar system...it may help the dollar, the world, you, me and everybody...

A floating exchange rate doesnt appreciate or depreciate based on who is occupying the White House.

EDIT: After reading the entire thread, I should mention that my statement is in no way connected with the post right above me.

Ok, it would seem people don't know what models are available for TTK's MBW-alike Group Buy. So, any of you people with your vintage Rolexes from Maria, George or that stall in Bangkok, please share your wares with everyone. I'll start it off with my Great White 1665 and my White Sub 1680, straight from the bag.

What makes a 1680 different from modern 16610 Subs? Is it the crystal and because its vintage??

I stole it and sold it in the "Watches" forum. Dont worry, the date font was wrong.

You should also realize that the font and color of "Yacht-Master" on the dial is incorrect for all model. To me, this is the biggest problem, which has detered me from any YM rep.

Can you see how the color is almost blood red? Also, the boldness of the word. Additionally, notice the correct cyclops spacing that was mentioned by bklm

Thats a lot of locations.

Ever heard of different timezones?

Wha?

but its 9pm sunday night ?!?!

Is the Sea-Dweller case the correct size?

.....Just Kiddin'

No you're not

School of hard knocks, PHD in Pimpology alond with an MBA in BS.

Oh BTW, I make more money than most of the people in this country who actually have PHD's.

PhD candidates do it for the love of the game (whatever game they specialize in ). Cost-Benefit analysis proves that income increases when obtaining an undergradate degree and a larger increase for a master's degree, but regresses for PhD holders.

Of course there are exceptions to the rule like yourself, and Im glad you are successful.... But no one from the School of Hard Knocks won a Nobel Prize in Economics

Hey now. I resemble that remark!

I think you mean "resent" that remark. I dont think you want to resemble that remark... or maybe you do.

Sorry for the 3rd post in a row... I should have combined my comments into one post.

Are you guys going to set fire to the White House again?

Wasnt that the English? Or am I thinking of a different instance.

You know, there is a place in North America which isn't the USA. A place called Canada.

Sadly, not even an option.

hahaha, I noticed that right away!!! Dont worry, we're a bunch of Mexico touchers

University of Colorado - Boulder (Most BEAUTIFUL campus ever!!!!) - BA in Finance..

Absolutely. My father got his degree in engineering there.

Also, I studying Political Economy at Univ of Newcastle in Australia for a semester. But academics was hardly on my mind. I spent most of my time on the beach or banging a fellow exchange student (but she was from Sweden)

Univ of Chicago - BA in Economics

Univ of Pennsylvania - Master's in Government

Lets give it up for private schools!!! And no, I have no legacy at those schools. My attendance was due to hardwork and ambition.

Im in the US, and it has never taken over 5 days. Also, the tracking has always been accurate for me. The only shipping problem Ive ever had was a domestic shipment to a destination one state over. It was supposed to take a couple of days, and it took almost a month.

no offense taken.

Alright here is where your totally wrong

If we had unlimited funds - we would get everything up front.

- AND - you wouldn't have the "thrill of the hunt"

what makes a behavior the most addictive when it has a randomized positive reinforcment. -

thats why gambling is addictive - its not, winning or losing the amt of money its teh randomness that drags you in

I think its that way for the watches - we love the watches but even more we love to love teh watches - we love to look for them, try them on - look for new ones -

The biggest pleasure i have gotten out of any purchase has been one i got by accident.

what does that tell me?

in fact - it changed my whole concept of what i enjoy -

here is the best part about reps - its affordable to be this sick

Here is another interesting thin - i tend to sell alot of reps. And the cost of ownership isn't to bad. 20-30 or even 50 less than i paid - used for 6 months - thats not really that bad.

there is a capital investment to build the collection - but, since i made that i have bought and sold alot and haven't spent as much as you might think. - except for straps

i even walked away for almost 9 months (coincidently how long it takes to pop out a kid :)its all krazy

Im not wrong, thats your addiction not mine. I get zero thrill from the hunt. I simply want a watch without paying thousands.

haha, so far Im the only person who replied "possible." Given unlimited funds, I think I would hit a point of satiation where my collection would be "perfect."

No. Just drop the ETA bit altogether and call it Asia 28xx, or whatever. ETA is a movement maker, the number designates the movement design. We've never called the Asia 7750 'Asia ETA 7750' so why start now?

I think this is a very important point that should be recognized.

:velho:

Half the gens I see are warn by people who don't dress in an expensive looking way.

Interesting...... for me, its just the opposite. At least for the people I know personally who wear gens.
