  1. Quite an astounding price to be sure. If it sells it will certainly raise the level of Panerai a few notches and make the watch brand itself more desirable
  2. @mattlarry, there are a number of other dealers who provide good customer service. Do yourself a favor and do business elsewhere.
  3. Wow CJ, great set of wheels you have there.
  4. Thick strap + Black & Decker belt sander = thin strap
  5. 6' 4" 225 lbs Size 14 shoe 38 waist 8" wrist
  6. I met Paul and Linda in 1975 in Hawaii. He was renting a house in Koko Head for a month, which was down the street from my house. My buddies and I were at this place called the point smoking doobies when they walked up from the beach and said hello. Over the next month we met again a few times. I even helped pull Paul out of the water when the waves got a little big. I was around 17 then and it was most memorable, impressive and exciting.
  7. Given that the Swiss Army is armed with only Swiss Army knives, the threat was negligible. "OK fella, lemme pull out my tweezers function here, so prepare your nostrils for a severe clipping, or surrender"
  8. I do believe there is a God or a spirit greater than man. I keep my beliefs personal for the most part, but am happy to answer the question. What I do not believe in is the gross hypocricy of organized religion and the billions of people who use it as a cloak and cover to make amends and excuses for their misdeeds. Too many an evil bastard has wreaked havoc upon his fellow man only to go to church on Sunday to be absolved of wrong doing. That is complete [censored]. Then there are the holy rollers with their 'holier then thou' affrontery that nauseates me to no end. It has been my experience and observation time and time again that atheists have much more compassion and love in their heart for their fellow man simply because they believe that they only have one shot at this thing called life and so they make the best of it. Many so called people of religion feel they can get away with any behaivior because in the end they will be forgiven and admiitted to heaven. Religion has been the principle cuase of suffering since the beginning of history.
  9. 232 on an MP Natale strap ...Good Friday
  10. That Cicero had many a good quip indeed. Happy Birthday to RWG this month.
  11. 11 Replica Wrist Watches........2737
  12. The Mare Nostrum is my favorite pam that has a white dial and I would get one if it were a rep. It is a very elegant looking watch
  13. The reference you seek is not written Pugwash, nor is there a statute which implicates that buyers of counterfeit watches oversees are subject to counterfeiting laws. Only sellers. US law is often a vast grey area when it comes to such matters, except for narcotics and other 'evils'. My statement is based on conversations with US customs employees. If you want to split hairs, I am sure they can find a way to prosecute you for buying counterfeit watches, however there is NO precedent. It is simply way below their radar and there is no need to alarm anyone who is in the US and wants to buy a watch from China but will not out of fear for being sent to the pen, or subjected to a heavy fine. It won't happen.
  14. Interesting techno watches. With a brand name like 'Pimp', how can they go wrong?
  15. Acually US customs laws were revised 3 years ago and a person can import goods up to $800.00 without paying any duty. Most reps are less than this and and as far as bringing in counterfeit watches, customs will seize them as they find them, but there are no laws to proscecute the smuggler of single watches for personal use. For resale, then that is a punitive offence, subjected to prosecution. For US colectors the only concern they have is being unlucky to have their watch seized. It behooves all to clarfiy with their dealer what guarantee the dealer has in such an event.
  16. For the start of the week it will be the fiddy
  17. In the Peoples Republic of China, those caught manufacturing counterfeit watches are treated to a lavish dinner hosted by the Mayor of whatever city the offense has occured. They are then subjected to a bevy of young naked women who tie down the offender and subject him to various sexual indiscretions. These events are photographed and distributed to other potential counterfeiters so as to cause them great alarm and disuade them from their business practice. Seems like the law has been pretty effective so far.
  18. If they do ask what the purchase is for just tell them that it is for 'shoenail polish'.
