"Leather and tools" ... "in every room in the house" ...? I'm assuming we're still talking about watch straps here are we ?? !!!

There is actually less of a difference than I would have imagined ! Is it just the photo or are the hands on the rep slightly thicker/wider ??

My Easter Bunny : OK, I admit it, it's photo of the gen ! Here's mine :

Noel I can only endorse what everyone else has said - you have to put your previous misfortunes behind you and move on now you've found the best rep forum in the world !! We've all been there and the loss of $500 is a real bitter pill to swallow but from now on, things can only get better. Bear in mind, however, if you're going to "risk" buying "fake" watches, there is always the chance that something may go wrong with your purchase - it's the price we all have to pay for our obsession !!

Now now, Victoria ! I've never heard you to be so cynical ! He is a newbie after all and I thought you were the guardian angel of newbies !!

Excuse my ignorance but are the hands supposed to be blue??

My fave at the mo...

I'll have 2 - just in case I lose one !! And for $229 (each) - they don't even glow in the dark !!

No more.....Please STOP !! (Well, you did ask ...!!) :lol: (I'm only jealous !!)

That's cool - unusual !

I have been getting around

If you want a reply within hours go with Andrew or Josh. 24 - 48 hrs is the norm for Silix and he doesn't tend to work weekends !

And when these buggers take off they sound like an Apache helicopter !!

It's all starting to get a little messy... one minute it's PayPal, now it's WU... I think a decision has to be made soon as there are some who prefer PP, some WU etc etc (ad infinitum... !).

Fantastic !! I bet his fingers were sore after that !!

Another Gemini (not many of us here though !)

I'm not surprised by this report - the main reason I wear a watch is as an item of "jewellery" and a fashion statement and, like most of the members of this forum, I find mechanical watches fascinating and true works of art in miniature. The same can't be said for a cheap LCD or souless quartz watch where the second hand goes tick..........tick...........tick...........tick (verrry slowly!!!)

I agree with the majority so far - SMP gen (as far as I know, the rep doesn't have the markings on the bracelet next to the clasp and the PO looks like a rep (pearl is off). But apart from all of that, I just wanted to say that I think Vic's new avatar is GREAT !!

:lol: Chavs are soooo yesterday !! @Victoria - sorry, I missed your Billy Connolly thread !

A "Ned" is a Chav, in Scotland (so I believe). When he says "I'm gonna rip your jaw", I suddenly thought of alledged threats made to the Admin team by a certain recently departed Scottish dealer ...

Mmmmmmm, Clear as......mud !

That is Gorgeous !! Where can I get one ?? !!!

As "Frankie Goes To Hollywood" once said: "RELAX - Don't do it..." !!!!
