Thanks D.

I love my BMW E39 though. It's an awesome car. It's now in my father's garage. I found new leather seats for it.

And when it comes to handling, I actually liked my old Merc E better (2003 model). The new E-klasse has way too soft suspension. It's a taste thing of course, but I prefer harder... more "German" suspension. This drives like a big Peugeot 605/607, without the French cruisers' unique comfort. And the interior wood parts are black.

This is the "Avantgarde"-model though. Maybe that has something to do with it?

@Dave: As promised. Here's my new E200 CDI and a Breitling. You like?

Golf is for the wifey.

I think Rolex wants Tudor to be more "independent"... and that their models wouldn't be any longer Rolex "little brother" versions. That's too bad. I think the old philosophy was much better.

On the other hand the new Rolex designs are equally ugly, so it makes no difference either way.

Tudor and Breitling must have hired their new designers from Invicta.

I don't understand these new models... they all look cheap and classless.

Wanna see a good looking Tudor? Look at the old Tiger Chronograph. Now THIS looks good.

I'm on holiday so naturally I've been watching every single game.

The tournament favorites are of course Brazil and Argentina (who's hosting the Copa this year).

Uruguay and Chile are the contenders. Uruguay has Forlán (who was great in the match against Peru) and Chile has been playing great under Básile's command.

Here's some Copa America history:

Argentina: 14 Copa America titles (26 times in the final)

Uruguay: 14 (20 times in the final)

Brazil: 8 (19 times in the final)

Paraguay: 2

Bolivia: 1

Colombia: 1

Another interesting statistics is that in the great football rivalry between Argentina and Brazil, Argentina is now leading 34-33 in the all time wins (in all tournaments & friendlies combined). Brazil has a chance to even things up in this tournament (providing they meet in the knockout stage).

Talking about "making sense"... you have 4 posts now. None of them have anything to do with watches. Plus they don't make any sense at all.

One more post like this and you're out.

Cheers.

How I wish it is a t-dial version

Why? Super Luminova dial is much nicer, and the lume on the older watches is much more effective than on the tritium version. T<25 watches also have non-SEL bracelets.

The one that you posted has super luminova dial.

Classic Seamaster "Bond" today.

Ah... nothing really "unique" (literally) but it's one of the nicest white dial watches ever made.

The watch in the pictures is genuine.

Congrats for this classic. I never had the gen of this but I had a decent franken. The dial is unique on these.

Wore Skyland for 4 days. But just changed to this.

Gen white BTR for sale on Ebay.

Why not.

Here's for my American friends.

How much that's worth these days?

$30K?

I wouldn't have nerve to swim with her anyway.

PS: New crystal looks great.

Are those watches or radios?

So the black one should be pretty much a dead on rep like the white one.

The black is just as accurate. Awesome watch.

Some gen pics.

I'm looking for another BTR. It was a dumb move to sell it in the first place.

Does anyone own the white version by chance?

I've never seen pictures of the rep (besides the dealers' ones).

Gen:

Some people speculate that this "era" of Rolex will increase in value.

It might, but I doubt they'll ever become true collectible pieces like the Paul Newman, Orange Explorer and 1680. I don't have any facts but I suspect the production numbers are simply too big.

But for me personally, the 16610 and 16710 are the most desirable Rolexes. I understand the attraction of the plastic crystal models but this "modern era" was Rolex at its peak, design wise.

I would never buy a new Rolex again. Those fat lugs models have lost it, unfortunately. They screwed up because they tried to improve perfection. And that's not possible.

That 16610, however, is pure perfection. Is it a good investment? Probably not, but I doubt it will lose its value, either.

Go for it!

Taking group shots is very challenging.

That's a great one.

Great watches too.

Great Daytona Ubi.

Going with this beauty Aquaracer.

It's a cliche, but enjoy every day you have. Life is short.

Wise words.

I was 20 just a few moments ago. Now I'm suddenly pushing 40 and my friends and relatives aren't getting any younger, either. That's pretty scary how the time starts to fly after 25.

And when we get older we just have to sacrifice more and more. Family members and friends go... I'm happy that I have a son. He alone makes the life worth living. I didn't realize how important the kids are before I got one.

Really amazing Maciek.

Love the 911. And of course the Turbo model is the most desirable of them all.

I love Porsches as well. But I have this weird fetish with 928 GTS.

One of these days I'll own one.

Thanks guys.

Not that I wasn't prepared for this. I knew his days were numbered.

His wife told me that if I just knew what kind of pain he went through in the last few months, I'd be happy for his death. His spine cracked, among other things (because of osteporosis caused by the radiation therapy, medication, whatever). He couldn't walk or even move his hands. Constant pain.

What pisses me off that a great human being had to go through this. His wife is a great person too... this is a man who respected life, his friends and relatives. Then there are people who disrespect everyone around them and live happily for 90 years.

Religious people always say that there is a "meaning" for everything. But when something like this happens to your friends or family, you'll get a bit skeptical.

You got that right mate.

Brain cancer is probably the most terrible illness anyone can get. Just imagine what kind of feelings you're experiencing when you first hear the news. Then you and your family have to live with it.

But if there really is a "better place" somewhere, my friend is definitely up there right now.
