  1. I understand Ken can keep five watches winding at the same time, though I can't imagine how he does it. You guys are loony! My watches demand my undivided attention so I dare not attend to more than one at a time. Sorry ma brotha, looks like you're the king of double or quad dipping!

    good lord

    Okay I stood back from my monitor and I can spot flaws from 4' away. Who can beat that? The gauntlet is tossed!
  3. No kidding! But consider that between the remote strip and home, it might be 1,000 miles and, oh, 1,000 bears.
  4. You just can't make this stuff up. A bear attacked this guy's plane while he had it parked on a remote landing strip. When I say "remote" I mean they're lucky to have gravel on the tundra. The guy hadn't cleaned out the plane after a long fishing trip and the bear smelled it. So the guy had 2 new tires, 3 cases of Duct Tape and several rolls of cellophane delivered, then he repaired the plane so he could fly it home. Piper Super Cubs ... they take a licking (literally) and keep on ticking.
  5. Nah, we've been having an e-party for like 3 weeks. Double-T is passed out in a corner, Ken's looking for his left nut, and T is trying to put out the fire in his router after starting a 3 terabyte download. Other than that? Smooth as silk.
  6. Nahhhhh, she's just pissed that her elephant skin suit came unzipped and the guys in the van got an embarrassing photo.
  7. The combination of the aged dial and crystal along with the alpha hands and stretched bracelet go together perfectly to make it, to my eye, the prettiest one of the grouping. It stands out as the most "together" piece. Now send me that Sub. It's woefully out of place. Poor thing.
  8. Ooooooo, nice Doxa! That's the exact model I've been pushing him toward. But wow is it overpriced... I paid $800 for mine a year ago. Think he'll see this???
  9. ....and now we know why Lani was so hot to get his new Doxa overnighted in. Good Lord that thing is gorgeous, and I haven't said that about ANY watch newer than, oh, 1974.
  10. Ken rocks! Too bad for Dems. Now what kind of bridges were in that movie..............??? wait for it...... wait for it......
  11. *Biting my lip and jumping up and down* You know, that Sub just looks SO out of place in that shot. Doesn't it sort of just turn your stomache? I mean... the dissonance! Tell ya what, send it to me and I'll solve your dissonance problem.
  12. Where's Clint Eastwood in that picture? (highly obscure reference for Dems to suss out)
  13. Darth says you have violated his copyright and he wants a piece of the action. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
  14. As a secondary thought, it is not just the bears in Alaska you have to watch for, either...
  15. Exactly right, Dems. And that's what Timothy "TaterTot" Treadwell was counting on to keep him safe. He neglected to factor in the old boars with bad teeth that cannot compete with the younger, stronger bears for food. Starving to death. Right about that time, old Timmy boy started looking pretty yummy indeed. Remember all the "just love them and they'll love you back" nonsense? Well, Annie accidentally turned on the video recorder as Timmy was being eaten, digging around in her pack for a weapon. It recorded the sounds of the attack, and it wasn't pretty. He was feeling pretty certain that she should hit the boar with something... anything, to make it stop. I've seen the photos, and you're right. Thigh, buttocks, lumbar and calf muscles gone.
  16. There it is. What a beauty!
  17. There's always the subtle, tasteful and understated IrishStar...
  18. Once you've fallen under the spell of vintage Doxa, there's no going back. Sorry, didn't I explain that to you before I got you hooked? Orange is THE cool Doxa color, but sometimes you want to go a little more subdued, and still retain that cool factor. With a *little* bit of orange. Enter the vintage Sharkhunter 300, with the even cooler USD logo.
  19. The quickest "tell" for a COMEX is the letter "O". It should be squared on the inside of the hole, and rounded on the outside. Almost everyone gets that wrong.
  20. And that brings up another point, Freddy. Have you noticed when mounting different bracelets on various models that they are often not the same color as the watch case? That's one thing I really like about Yuki's 7206, it's exactly the same color as a gen case.
  21. Late summer, next to a salmon stream? With that look in her eyes? Hmmmmmm. You might get as close as 30 feet, then she'd accelerate about as fast as greyhound, one big leap and she'd be on you. If you're lucky the impact would knock you unconscious as you hit the ground with her on you, and you wouldn't feel it as she tore into you. When you were no longer a threat she'd probably wander back to the river, because there's tastier food readily available. But if she was hungry, or old with bad teeth, then she'd probably eat the tasty parts.
  22. There ya go, Slick. To me that crown is so low that it just tosses the whole works out the window. You can overcome small details but something that far out? It's why I never built a 6538 from MBW's case.
  23. Who you callin' cute? Just stand there for a minute so I can eat you.
