  1. PS : Corgi, there are more noble symbols of France than hens... :bleh:

    I am at the mercy of the forum admins with those images.. at least for the duration of my VIP membership :)

    Kenberg said that he has almost any kind of MB pen. To me, this includes the complex ones like the pope. If someone here had a rep pope, oh boy would I buy that fast...

  2. I just got one. It has a few mistakes, but I've received the most compliments on it in one day than on any of my Rolexes for the past year.

    It is a very glamorous and opulent looking piece that is a almost distracting in its beauty, despite a few flaws...

    1. The "30" minute indicator number (in red) does not line up with the "IV" 6'oclock hour indicator at the bottom of the watch.

    2. The inside of the roman "V" are slightly chipped on the inside on certain 5s

    3. There is a tiny hair on the sun-moon phase - its almost invisible.

    4. There is a tiny chip on the sun in the sun-moon phase - its almost invisible.

    Other than that it keeps great time and is one of the most comfortable strapped watches one can own because of the clever, easy to put on/take off strap.

    If I wasn't so busy I'd take some pictures...

  3. No, Joshua just gets a little excited with his adjectives sometimes :)

    All gold is real gold... there's just a whole lot of it on that watch!

    PS: I would not buy a Frank Muller for $50 even if the rep was perfect... they are so unnatractive. :-/

  4. TTK I wanted to by the Omega Deville TT yellow gold remember?? You said no more in stock... but your photo album says nothing if an item is or is not available... there are also no prices or specifications listed on any of your items? It confused me slightly...

  5. I was at my local The Bay the other day (this is basically an enormous store we have in Canada that caters to either hillbillies or senior citizens looking for clothing or jewelry) and I went up to the rack of timepieces. They were selling a Seiko quartz with day-date functions for about $400. It didn't have a shred of actual gold on it, and the calendar was in French. Want the full gold seiko quartz chrono? $500. Sure, you can head to the cheaper brands made from even crappier quartz movements.... like these 'Fossil' and 'Nautica' watches I saw, but they are so painfully hideous, I can see why nobody buys them.

    I think that if these watch manufacturers put more thought into their designs they would sell a lot more timepieces... there is no other excuse. Not to mention the mark-up is baffling on any watch you pick.

  6. Thanks for your response. As Josh explained it, 14k is a sheet of gold wrap on to the metal, and 18k plating is a chemical dip. Which of these two processes would say is more durable?

    14K wrapping is thicker and good for daily wear, use and abuse, but the shade of the gold may or may not give it away under correct lighting and correct circumstances.

    18K plate is great too.... you may see some wear on certain high-stress parts of the clasp of the full gold models but you're OK for two tone.

    18K wrap: very rare, only available on two watches on Joshua's site. Said to be majestic and infallible in terms of both longevity and appearance.

  7. The solution for tarnish is to polish, polish, polish. Connoissers makes an excellent polishing cloth that can do the trick.

    Can you please point me in the direction of one of these cloths? Perhaps an ebay link so I know what you're referring to?

    As a gold lover, this seems like a very important thing to own....

    Also, I've made my decision... the TT it is! I've just come to realize it looks better... I'll get it when the snow melts away. This is a watch that's meant to be worn with short sleeves.

  8. I just read recenlty a Polish website dedicated to gen watches of all brands and some polish freaks have just lunched an action so called "spot the fake" in order to spot fakes, take them from their owners and smash them with big barrel during the july meeting.

    What?

    I think only us Polish people could consider the following to be the most economical tool aiding in the destruction of a miniscule timepiece:

  9. A chicken nugget is a piece of chicken, either whole or composed from a paste of finely minced chicken or chicken skin, which is then coated in batter or breadcrumbs before being cooked. Fast-food restaurants typically deep-fry their nuggets in oil. Oven baking is the usual method of preparation at home.

    The chicken nugget was invented in the 1950s by Robert C. Baker, a food science professor at Cornell University, and published as unpatented academic work. Dr. Baker's innovations made it possible to form chicken nuggets in any shape. McDonald's is often falsely credited with the invention of the chicken nugget. However, its recipe for Chicken McNuggets was created in 1979 and the product was sold beginning in 1983.
