  1. I, too, have a couple of POs (black and orange) and an SMP and I totally agree with Steve G - the black PO hogs the wrist time !!
  2. I recently took my "dead" PO into my local watchsmith (who has resized the bracelets on a few of my reps). I asked him if he would look at a replica Omega and he said he would. He took the caseback off and commented that it had a "nice movement" (it's an ETA 2836) and was generally very complimentary about the overall quality of the watch. Then he blew it and said "Shame it's a FAKE" !!! (It was a bit "tongue in cheek" and he has agreed to get it working for me).
  3. Ouch !! So how do YOU enforce them; being a VIP member? - turn a blind eye? Or is it a case of one rule for one.......etc....
  4. Mmmmmm, very interesting !! What does "Consumers should be very leery of purchasing high end goods over the internet..." mean ????
  5. So that's how you sell watches without being a VIP member - you just slip your ad in the middle of a thread !! Pssst !! - anyone want to buy an SMP ??
  6. Mmmmmm, not sure about this one... there is a big gap between the case and the strap... think I prefer the rubber strap that isn't trying to pretend it's made of leather. Apologies, this is only MHO - each to their own !
  7. I buried my whole collection in various parts of the garden (as an experiment to see if the results varied in different soil etc..), now I can't find them !!!!
  8. As a relatively new newb myself, I know how the "thrill of the chase" can be frustrated by having to wait for replies to emails and for your new purchase to arrive. You very soon learn that patience is a virtue that you have to master and bombarding a seller with emails is a good way of getting him to ignore you (for a while). Have patience , my friend, and your new Bell & Ross will be on your wrist before you know it. I have had many dealings with Paul and he seems pretty trustworthy as I have had nothing to complain about so far.
  9. I've just received an SMP from Jay & Angel - their model still has the 3 O'Clock marker (and it's cheaper than Josh/Andrew's !!).
  10. I have some Loctite in the garage - I'll give it a go !!
  11. I have an SMP Chrono and a 2006 007 Special Edition. Both have screws instead of pins and on both, I've had pins unscrew themselves (while I've been wearing them), luckily I've spotted them before they fell out completely! Has anyone else had this problem and is there any way of preventing it?
  12. He's changed "porn" to "Adult Entertainment" !!
  13. "skanky trout" ? - she must have p***ed him off BIG time !!
  14. Gimme Gimme Gimme - I want it now !!
  15. Go and play Scalextric on another forum !! - There must be a forum for Wankels out there somewhere !!
  16. I'm wearing one from my Omega collection - the one that no-one else seems to like !!
  17. Oh, please don't beg, it's soooooooooooo degrading !
  18. My 45mm PO had a major seizure after 3 weeks New total: 67
  19. Not sure when it happened, (apologies if this has been posted before and I missed it !), but I see that Andrew and Josh's postage prices have gone up (eg to UK from $25 to $30). They snuck those increases in rather quietly !!
  20. +11 (So far, more to come - totally addicted !!) = 3059
  21. I've had that happen to me TWICE - delivered with Post Code only. One watch disappeared completely and the other I had to make loads of phone calls to track it down before that too dissappeared !!
