Damn, those hillbillies are a lot hotter than they used to be,ain't they?

My Davidsen 113 on Ferrari leather... Bad pics yes, but the best I can do for now

Good to see those tax dollars are working hard to fight communism in the US...

Great review as always, this was the watch I was planning on getting for about 2 years as a gen before I found the rep forums, as a result still have not got one...but as for the cost based on the gen, not sure if it is worth it for me.

I am glad I am not the only one with this problem... for me at least, it depends on heat - on a warmer day the bracelet sits where it should but on a hot day, it is too tight. But usually if it is cold, it slides as it is too loose. Once I have worked up a sweat though, it is tight again. Frustrating.

This is the main reason really - as mostly guys on the forum, we prefer the 'manliness' of SS over gold. But for a night in a strip club.... I may have to get me a gold rep next

I have currently got mine on V's Ferrari car seat strap, looks good. I could post a pic, but it is taken with my phone... that I have had for over 2 years... so not exactly a brilliant picture

That's some good advice, would make the process a lot easier. My biggest problem I see is I would get too adventurous in what I wanted on the dial in way of complications and not be able to find a movement I could put in it

Lookin good, thinking about building my own watch too. As long as I have the skills to actually do it.

One thing missing is how many new posts there are next to the view new posts link - liked that function.

Thanks for that CS. Had I spent another 10 minutes on google, I would have discovered the answer. "But by 1926 he had made the reliably accurate little movement waterproof. One day, frustrated by not being able to open an oyster, he called his new creation the Oyster." So it comes from the waterproofing side of things, keeping it as tightly closed as an oyster.

I am sure this sounds like a stupid noob question, but why are most of the rollies 'oyster' type? What is the reason behind it? I have searched, but yet to find an answer. Oh, and for those who want to flame, who has the best sub?

I am sure I recall seeing a picture of you with a HBB on your wrist Victoria

My strap just arrived - just about to walk out the door to work when the mail got in which now means changing to the new strap... Damn you V and your lovely strap, I may not get much use out of my others any more. So thick, never realized how thick these can be. Very nice, thanks a lot.

Looks brilliant, so supple, can't wait for it. And I must say, made nice and fast too! Cheers.

That is just wrong, Pug, just wrong...

You should get one of V's Ferrari straps before all the leather is gone too - I have just placed my order, too unique an opportunity to pass up....

Yeah, I got screwed over on that whole Russian mail order bride thing - her passport said Ukraine...

All this talk lately of AD's not being able to keep them in stock makes me think of buying up the local supply and selling to the foreigners at a mark-up; after all, nobody locally seems to know the brand so the AD's here should have a few in stock....

That thing rocks! I got a remote controlled aeroplane a while back but you can't really fly it inside, it takes off - this thing has such control!

Some of you may have already seen this before, but for those that have not, here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyqEPgRc6IE For those people that remember the 80's kids show rainbow, it is quite nostalgic - I don't remember it ever being like that. Or maybe I was just to young to understand the jokes. Anyway, it was apparently done as some christmas party thing that never went to air.

Just because it looks cool! Maybe the maual wind don't have the gearing to put a PR in either?

And to think when I first saw this thread I considered buying some way out of the money call options to expire a month or so after the iphone was supposed to come out... but all my capital was tied into other trades (that went bad...) just to illustrate how the trade could have gone - - I have gone and had a look at a trade - on the 25th of January you could have bought one Jan08 150 call contract for $1.60 - which would mean if it gets above 150 at expiration you make money (but you can sell it any time) as of right now, it is worth $8.80. Yes, the stock has gone up 50% in half a year, but the profit on options trading aaple would be about 500% currently and for a profit at expiration of the option, the stock price would still need to go up $20. But I digress, it is interesting to see what has happened with the stock price after all that discussion back in January.

Actually, if you look closer at the seller, they had recently bought a genuine pearwood box, so they could conceivably go and use that to display the rep, and supply a rep box...

Just come across this listing on the bay http://cgi.ebay.com/Luminor-Panerai-44mm-P...VQQcmdZViewItem comes with everything! So most people would think it is genuine, right? But take a look at the Q and A asking if it is a gen!
