  1. Hi Nightstroker, thanks a lot for your help. That shop sounds interesting and I will most definitely give them a try to find that watch. As to the other shops that members here mentioned, I don't think that they have reasonable prices. I found two other shops off ebay which carry the watches I am looking for. They are both loacated in the LA area, but I don't mind the drive. We'll see how it turns out. But in the meantime please feel free to give me more tips Regards Moppel
  2. Hey piratedzeus, I am already working on this problem....
  3. Thanks, folks. It doesn't have to be a new one. So a pre-owned would be fine. The pawn-shops didn't come to my mind. Thanks a lot for the advice. I guess gambling and pawn-shops go along pretty well Cheers Moppel
  4. Hi folks, my girlfriend and I will be travelling to Las Vegas in mid June and will be doing a round trip by car for three weeks. I am thinking of buying her a gen Speedmaster for her 40th birthday to take advantage of the good exchange rate between Dollar and Euro. Does anybody have a tip for me where to look at? I know there are quite a few watch stores in the different hotels. But I guess they don't have any reasonable prices. I found some online stores on the Internet where the watches can also be picked up personally. But those are mainly in NYC or LA. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Cheers Moppel
  5. Hi folks, I need some help. I received the CD about a week ago. I ordered the OMEGA part and TZ. But I only found one file on the CD named "Resume2 Aug 07". So there must have gone something wrong while burning I sent Offshore a PM but haven't received a reply yet. I guess he is on vacation. Is there any way that one of you guys can sent me these two parts ( OMEGA and TZ ), or maybe put them on a server so that I can download them? Or maybe there is a member from Germany who can send me a copy. I am sure that Offshore will reply to my PM when he is back. But I just don't wanna bother him with sending a new CD half around the globe. On page one and two of this thread you can see my order and Offshores reply that "Moppel" has done the payment....just in case.... Many thanks. Moppel
  6. ..payment done. Looking forward to it. Moppel
  7. Hi Offshore, please put me on the list for the Omega parts and Time Zone 1+2 courses. Thanks Moppel
  8. Hi folks, I am also interested in both. Cheers Moppel
  9. I couldn't agree more! I can't say anything about the Speedmaster, but on a Seamaster you have to obey the right direction you put the pins in. Also, the pin itself must be put in with the right side. So it's best to spend a few pounds and have it done. Cheers Moppel
  10. Hi everyone, I am currently trying to get some nice shots of my watches for a 2008 calendar. I've been doing this calendar thing for ten years now, mostly with pictures from various vacations. Now I think it's time to set up a calendar with some of my watches and my girlfriends watches. I've taken the following pictures in the backyard since it turned out that nothing can beat natural light. Well, at least for me...I just haven't been able to get nice shots in the house using a light-tent... This one was taken on an OMEGA catalog from 2006 Here I poured some water on the watch. Since all the leaves are changing colour right now, I thought this might give a nice background. That rusty thing is a nail from a railroad tie which I found some years ago while on vacation in the US. Yep...I really found it...didn't pull it out. More pictures will follow soon. Hope you enjoyed it so far. Thanks Moppel
  11. Damn, I knew there was a reason why I bought the bracelet. So why the hell did I sell it? Cheers Moppel
  12. Hi, the pins look indeed much bigger than the original screws. But for me it makes no difference since both is not very accurate. I put the pins in just for the fun doing it. A gen bracelet is probably twice the cost of the rep itself. However, I once bought a SMP bracelet from Andrew which I later sold to By-Tor. He was able to put it on his SMP with some modification. But I really can't remember if that bracelet had screws or pins. You might wanna ask him or search for some pictures of his modification. Cheers Moppel
  13. Congratulations on that beauty. This surely proofs that nothing can beat the "Real Thing". Wear it in good health. Cheers Moppel
  14. Hi, I just can't get enough of this beautiful orange colour. Moppel
  15. Hi folks, I'll be travelling to Berlin with my girlfriend at the end of October. For a special occasion I would like to invite her to a restaurant. We both like good food and are always willing to spend some more money if the food and ambiance are "out of the normal". So does any of you know of a restaurant that might be suitable? To give you an idea of what I mean: - we have been to a place where the waiters come with meat skewers to your table and you can choose from about ten different kinds of meat, and they cut it the way you want it. - we sometimes go to a restaurant where they have a huge buffet with lots of meat, fish and vegetables. You then put it in a bowl and have it cooked with a sauce that you choose. - or a candle light dinner with so-called "finger-food". Like these here: Any help would greatly be appreciated as it really needs to be something special. Thanks for all your help. Moppel
