Great, I really enjoyed this. And damn, another IWC on my list... Thanks for writing this, linked to the community guide!

Depends on how good the rep is. if made properly, I'd buy it in a heartbeat...

As far as I know, running the chronograph-function is not bad at all (regardless that most watches are losing time when its on). The reset is, what causes most problems: the second hand jumps back with around 180-240 km/h. So after some resets it can happen that the hand is going to far over the twelve, when it does not sit as tight on the pin... You can solve this when resetting from the other half of the dial: i.e.: 12-6 it will reset counterclockwise; 6-12 it will be clockwise...

should be done on monday, as far as I am informed...

Hey guys, as my 3mp Exilim pocketcamera from 2005 finally went belly up, I decided it's time for a new and better one. During my research, I found the Olympus SP-560 UZ with I think pretty amazing abilities for $450. And it is around $150 cheaper than the comparable Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 or FZ18... At least here in germany. So what do the experts think?

Sorry, I am sometimes a lil dizzy in the morning - Tudor hands, as we all know, will fit ETA mvmnts...

Tudor hands will.

Very, very good read! I enjoyed this, with a good cup of coffee. Thanks mate - you made my sunday morning.

Well, you could try to get a whole new movement and get it installed or have a standart (new) asian 7750 put into it with a frozen second at six and a disabled second at 9. Maybe a (real) service will do the trick, too - but you will need to find a watchsmith who works on asian mvmts... Thanks Mate!

Great site, TWP! Thank you, I have been looking for a site like this since they shut down tv-links.uk

Standart looks exactly the same to me (K2222/Chieftang and genuine IWC)

:D :D :D

The middleparts look like rubber to me.

Welcome friend. You show great taste - Sinn is truly an amazing brand! My first gen will definately be a Sinn U2. I love that watch.

I am really excited bout this one. I'd love to read a decent review on it! From the pictures, it looks quite good...

I really do not think we should simplify that complex topic this way. To understand and solve the issue between the west and the middle east will be the main task of foreign affairs during the next century in my opinion. And it won't be answered by dropping a bomb, that for sure. The arrabic world was the leading culture 800-1100 years ago, they build hospitals and knew how to take out an apendix while in europe the only way known to heal people was to venesect until the patient was cured to death. Opening a human body was blasphemy in the christian world. They also had the leading educational system, in fact, there was no system in europe at all. That was when the popes and the european gentry decided to invade them and called out the crusades. Today the sides have significantly changed, it is popular for the arabic elite to send their kids in the west for a better education. The Saudis for example have a healthcare system which sends them to Germany or the USA for health care. They drive foreign cars and hire western engineers. Remember we are regarding their upper class. In the last centuries, islamic south african countrys have always been the loser. They are often the ressource-richest but the poorest at the same time. A large company in the west has usually a better national product than one of these countries. They see our wealth and sense their lack for something they can be proud of. If we regard now on how these countries get their income, we'll see that it is parted in export of goods such as oil, coffee, comestible goods, tobacco and foreign aid. The foreign aid is usually taken by warlords or government. The export goods that reach the EU or the States are put under very high taxes to protect our own agriculture. In most countries, the main part of the population suffers from starving, they're not able to read or write. They are informed by their Imams during devine service. These guys are pretty much in charge usually, sometimes they're just warlords with a small militia... They pretend to be wise and strictly religious, but in fact they are only telling their way of view to keep the status quo. They make sure that everyone in their community gets to know that we in the western world might have the wealth, but they have the only true religion. Polemic at its best. Lets call them whitebeards. It is a very old way to stay in charge by installing an enemy the people can focus on. By the way, it is the same "we against them" feeling that appears here, too. Just think of "coalition of the willing", "axis of evil" and other populistic frases. This sort of foreign politic adds fuel to the fire. This mixture of poverty, bad (if none) education and the contrast to the wealthy west creates a very effective breeding ground for fanatics. In my opinion it is no wonder we can see the mob raving around everytime someone "hurts" their religious feelings - because they are told to feel hurt. It seems ironically only at first sight , that of all things a teacher who tried to educate these people gets in the line of their fire. But it is in the interest of those white beards in charge to keep the population uneducated. The Taliban were top-notch in that, really. But this all has nothing to do with the Islam as a religion at all, but with the hurt feeling of inferiority combined with an attitude of "me and my rifle will defend this culture" insinuated by whitebearded old men! I gotta admit, my post became just as simplyfied, but you could write books on this topic without even scratching the surface of this complexity of problems.

One particular Christmas a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip... but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then, Mrs. Claus told him that her Mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more. Then when he went to harness the Reindeer, he found three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground, and scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa went back into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had hid the liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from. Just then, the doorbell rang and Santa cussed his way to the door. He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas Tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas Santa. Isn't it just a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you, Isn't it just a lovely tree? Where would you like me to stick it?" Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas Tree

It's called "happy time"

It took me all weekend, but I finally got my tree up!

Configuration will be 6,9,12; so it won't fit a daytona.

Congrats guys. Looks gorgeous. Ingy is my very favourite watch.

First update with Eunomian's Aquatimer review.
