  1. I don't care if it's Ti or not. I WANT ONE!
  2. Something like that happened to me earlier this summer. A P40 was flying over my house... just doing circles... blowing some smoke too... for about 10 minutes... around and around... I guess he was happy to have an audience because we were all out in the yard waving... this is a pretty rural area and I can't imagine what else he could have been doing. Anyway, that plane was flying so slowly, all I could think about was what an easy target those guys must have been when they were actually fighting a war. So slow, so shiny, so elegant and with an engine that's a pleasure to hear. I really felt like watching that thing overhead transported me back in time. I'm sure Grahams weren't around back then- at least not in their current configuration, but wearing mine reminds me of that day.
  3. Seriously- wtf? How about some tact next time, brother?
  4. My opinion is that you're an out-of-touch, self-satisfied idiot.
  5. That sounds just like the argument for cheap quartz over swiss mechanical made back in the 70s.
  6. WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG? I WANT ONE!
  7. OH hell yes! Sign me up. I just got my first Graham yesterday and I LOVE it. That sandblasted finish is awesome and so is the dial.
  8. I want to test for water resistance but cannot remove the strap.
  9. Take care. See you in a few weeks. A rich person doesn't need to live sparingly and a person who lives sparingly doesn't need to be rich.
  10. I wouldn't bother with either of those particular models. The Patek looks fake from 50 feet away. Not only is it a fantasy model, but it doesn't even look like a watch Patek would make. It's VERY rare to see a Patek with hands colored differently than the hour markers. The crown of the Breguet is stamped "18K". Really? That's just ridiculous for what should be a perfect rep.
  11. The problem with the Lange 1 and many other watches with in-house movements is that they're typically built for one model of watch. The beauty of so many of the super-reps we enjoy is that they use ETA (or variations) for their movements. How many different rep watches use a 7750 movement? 200+? that's a huge market compared to the few that would use a movement that would work in the Lange 1. The bottom line with reps is that what they're doing is for profit and there's just not enough profit in building a movement that can be used in only one type of watch.
  12. Like Hilton? With too many syllables?
  13. Very nice! I'd love to see a wrist shot. I'm thinking about getting one but have 7.5" wrists and am concerned it'll be too big.
  14. That's a terrible idea. Just come clean and move on. Tell the truth- it's easier to remember.
  15. If that's all it took to get rid of a lib, Pateks are all I'd wear.
  16. It's huge, it's heavy, it's hideous, it's horrible... so when will it be repped??? I WANT ONE!
  17. Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. If only your comment came BEFORE Stephane's you might not look like such a clod. Start reading those emails advertising male member enhancement- if they actually work, you might be a bit more tolerable for the rest of us.
  18. Nice article. Unfortunately, I now find myself wanting a Graham. It looks super-good on your wrist. If you don't mind my asking, what is your wrist size? I'm at 7.5" and if you're anywhere close, I'll be getting one.
  19. It's a way of simulating the idea that since you're in a picture with someone "important" that you too are important. It's similar to getting your picture taken with a celebrity. I think it has something to do with self-esteem and proving your self-worth. For some reason, I come into contact with celebrities all day long but I don't even talk to them unless I have something to say other than, "I'm SUCH a big fan of yours!" When I see people in a pic with a celebrity, I just think they're saying, "I'm your biggest fan! I'm the president of your fan club in the greater metro area!" A coworker once showed me (and everyone else in the office) a picture of Barack Obama from 50 feet away and exclaimed, "MY BROTHER TOOK THIS PICTURE CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW CLOSE HE GOT????" I feigned amazement and moved on. I'm American and I'm with you- I just don't understand it either. Maybe it's different for sycophants- who knows.
  20. I agree whole-heartedly. There's no reason for not repping this watch- especially after the introduction of the ceramic bezel GMTII (which I own and admire).
  21. I hope you're only referring to rep chronos when you say that and even if you are, that's such a ridiculous statement that I can't believe you said it not once but "many times".
