Again, this is a debate that raged at the old RWG, and finally someone posted verbiage quoted straight off the law books that said a person can OWN counterfiet merchandise for their own personal use as long as a clear case cannot be made for an intent to distribute or misrepresent it as a fake.

This is old news...I have been there and done that. This is all [censored] intimidation tactics that they use to try to discourage it. Granted I am in the US and different laws apply, but on the old RWG, I did a big write up on this and posted images of the letter I received and everything, and simply put, you should do nothing. If someone contacts you by mail, do not respond. If someone contacts you by phone tell them you have no idea what they are talking about. If you respond to any of it, you are likely painting a target on your @$$.

As for a dress watch, they make one with black enamel inserts in stead of wood....very cool looking....next time I see my brother in law, I'll get him to sit still for a wrist shot.

fair enough....won't happen again

I just know that I am going to get torched for this since I am a big nobody, and I'll remove it anyone pitches a fit, but I couldn't help myself...this thread whipped me into a lather.... Not torched yet, just don't do it again. Ken

is that crown guard really as gapped at the top against the case as it looks?

Holy mother of maccaroni....you are a walking IPR violation HA! That is freakin fantastic... caaaaannn't looooook aaaawaaaaayyyy AAAAHHHHH MY EEEEEEEEEYES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eddie, You are definitely more than fair and there are going to be sh!+heads in every crowd. Personally I think you should only complain if something is broken. When I received my 2893 029 from you over a year ago, it arrived with a nice sized gash on the bezel and an off center crown guard lever. I didn't care. Crown guard began to sit flush with time, and I have put several more gashes on the damn thing. I would never bother you with the kind of mindless sh!+ that some apparently have. Please people realize that this is the kind of crap that will drive prices up or worse, our dealers away. Bryan **edit** oops...upon further reading, I learned that I was guilty of asking for tracking, but only once every couple of weeks.

After going for some time without buying any watches, I am finally going to be able to this week. I need some help deciding. I am scared to death of the A7750's, but both of the watches I want are just that. 186 Arktos GMT and 250 Daylight on SS. I am either going to get these two and a 2836 029 for my wife (she loves my 2893 029)...OR a 7753 250 and the 2836 029. I am really confused, and would like some input. Input from those owning the 186, A250, and S250 is especially appreciated. Bryan

Please forgive the noob question from someone who's been around a while....BUT, I've got to ask, are those gen or rep? I don't know enough about Omega to tell, but gen or rep, those are NICE. Let me know.

I did it on my 029 2893 for shits and grins. shits and grins, as it turns out, are over rated, so I put it back.

Ubi, I was under the impression that there was a 7753 version of the 250...no? B

Are the 8 & 10 indicies crooked on all the models? So far they have been on every pic Ive see of this rep.

is the 120 a 40mm case?

I was going to say magnetic watch winder, but Finepics beat me to it....I am judging from the wires, I'll say it could be a cellphone so that someone can talk on their Omega Phones while it's citing 3cm off their wrist.

I want one for my wife, but I am really not hip on the idea of the asian movements. Anyone know of anyone that carries a 40mm pam with an eta?

I got my brother in law one for christmas last year, and it's pretty darn cool. The damn thing must weigh over 300 grams. It is UNREAL how heavy the damn thing is.

Can anyone point me to a repository of photos of George W Bush and the current U.S. Administration that I can use commercially and not have to pay royalties or perhaps even pay for them at all, without violating copyrights, etc.?

I quite enjoyed it myself.

Whew! I knew Eddie was too stand-up for that. @ TTK - man I swear, you are half the reason I come to this board, and I've never bought from you. Despite what your detractors may say, I think are quite possibly THE most intertaining read on this forum. Bryan

yeah, the other day, i was in Costco in Austin, TX, and they had the Brietling Bentley for $5580.00 and various other nice watches. That's the first thing I look at when entering costco......that and the big screen TV's.

I agree, and cheerfully raise my glass. You know, I think the real reason that I got all crazy in my post is that I am in Sales, it's the end of the month, and I am racing to hit quota, so I think I might be man-struating.

Hey Pugwash, I did not apologize for my views; I simply apologized for turning our happy fun time watch forum into a stage for me to air political grievances. Alas, that's what happens when two vodka tonic's are directly followed by two ales. I stand by my views.

OK, I am sorry. I didn't mean to stir up trouble. I am not a neocon and I am not a liberal. I am simply awake. But you are right. This is where I come to unwind after work and the the wife and kids go to bed, and I was wrong to throw gasoline on a small political fire. I Enjoy hanging out here, and hope I have not soured anyone to talking with me. I'm a nice guy; hell, I even sent high flying clive a pannie thumbnail buckle and strap for free and on my nickel for shipping. I try to contribute where I can, I just don't know enough about watches to do so. I guess I just got too fired up. Again, I deeply and humbly apologize.
