That is a beautiful watch !

IMO the BCE is one of the best reps out there at the moment - wear it well !

Valuable information Jawo - Many Thanks! It's just a shame that noobs often get "stung" before they find forums like this - I know, I was one of them !!

We're trying to reintroduce them into the rivers of the UK and you're hanging your watch off them!...

Marry ME !! (I'll leave the missus tonight !!!)

The SFSO looks fantastic on a brown leather strap (especially a gen strap !) - the standard SS bracelet is rather plain IMHO.

All my watches get a comment from my wife: "Is that ANOTHER new watch ?!!!! "

Andrew, Josh, Paul, that I know of.....

Am I losing the plot here? My SFSO is the Asian version from Silix (could the ETA have different sized hands?). I stopped the second hand at 12 and compared it with the pic posted by fivefive and I couldn't see any major difference !! fivefive may I suggest you buy the gen ?

For those that haven't seen the (UK) news, here's the latest: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/coventr...ire/7081567.stm R.I.P.

This is one watch that cries out for a leather strap as the ss professional II bracelet is so plain, IMO.

Here I am going to a halloween party (or was that me, the morning after? - I can't remember !!)

V. interesting !! (sorry, couldn't resist it !). Thanks for posting that very interesting article, Vicky !

Excellent choice for a first rep - I'm just waiting for mine to arrive from Jay! BTW, what colour dial did you go for?

LMAO !! :rofl:

Without knowing what really happened we cannot judge. (British) Firefighters are trained that if there is ANY possibility that there may be still be persons still in a building that is on fire, they will enter and search (subject to a dynamic risk assessment...).

Thankfully, I am not directly affected but as a professional firefighter it strikes a chord and my deepest sympathies go out to all those who are involved. There, but for the grace of God, go I.....

An old man marries a young woman and they are deeply in love. However, no matter what the husband does sexually, the woman never achieves 0rgasm so they decide to ask a sex therapist for advice. The therapist listens to their story and makes the following suggestion; "Hire a strapping young man and while the two of you are making love have the young man wave a towel over you, as though he is fanning you both. Make sure he is totally naked and she can see his manhood as he fans you both with the towel. That will help your wife fantasize, and should bring on a full-blown orgasm." They go home and follow the therapist's advice. They hire a handsome young man and he strips off and enthusiastically waves a towel over them both as they make love. But it doesn't help and still the wife is unsatisfied and frustrated. Perplexed, they go back to the therapist. "Okay", he says, "let's try it reversed. Have the young man make love to your wife and you wave the towel over them." Once again, they follow the advice. The young man gets into bed with the wife and the husband waves the towel. The hired hand really works with great enthusiasm and the wife soon has an enormous, room-shaking, screaming, creaming orgasm. Smiling, the husband drops the towel, taps the young man on the shoulder and says to him, triumphantly: "THAT'S how you wave a [censored]ing towel,sonny!!"

Just thought I'd post this for anyone interested: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/coventr...ire/7077100.stm

And in 'testing'

Now that IS a nice looking B&R - I completely agree with you Doc !

A little good news (well. for me, anyway) - My status on EMS and ParcelForce shows that my watch from Silix has arrived in the UK. I've now just got to wait for ParcelForce to do their stuff (which could be a while, going by previous experiene!).. I hope those that are still waiting get a break soon - Chin up guys !!

I'm also waiting for a watch from Silix, I'm also from the UK, EMS also tells me "Despatch from Sorting Center" a week ago and NOTHING since...... I'll give it another week before I start getting worried.........

My first Pam was the 153 Regatta Flyback and I still love it !!
