10 hours of work and the end result was that? Well... ok.

Daytona is a tough watch to shoot, but the guy clearly overcontrasted and overlit the watch from the beginning.

And besides, most of that preparation work was useless. If your box has good basic setup, you don't have to set up the paper angles for hours. Maybe it was just a way of charging more money for this medicore work.

River Raid... that was quite a classic. Pitfall too. But H.E.R.O. was my favorite from ActiVision.

My first gaming machine was Atari 2600, then came Vectrex. C64 was the "ultimate" as you got literally thousands of games for free.

PS: Elite (Firebird) was a great game too. I never managed to graduate from "deadly" to -> "elite". I still wonder what it took to complete the game.

God, I ran a 24x7 BBS on a C64 back in the early 80's. @By-Tor -> the name of my BBS was "Red Sector A"

Eaglesoft? They always had Rush lyrics in the scroller. Check this out:

Fish is such a great watch.

Here's my gen for comparison.

Jumpman was cool.

Other great games that I remember:

Monty Mole

Spelunker

Raid on Bungeling Bay

Whistler's Brother

Lode Runner

All Infocom text adventures

Uridium

Super Cycle

Winter & Summer Games

Pitstop II

Defender of the Crown

Maniac Mansion

M.U.L.E.

etc. etc.

It's amazing how many good games there was for C64 but this was one of my favorites.

I grew up with the C64 but I think I'll settle with the emulators. But either way, this is cool.

That Concord is cool Hike.

This since yesterday.

This is definetely a WM9 version 1 watch.

The original "Super Sub". I don't know who produced it but it sure was the same one George used to sell.

No one remembers my review of it?

v1 had the best SELs ever made... I have v1 SELs on my v2 Sub. That's the best combo there is.

I always thought Boston was a bit cheesy but damn that Scholtz's guitar sound is SO unique...

Classic black Steel Sub for today.

I think a better article would have been about how journalism has gone down the toilet the past decade.

Terminology has changed too... "reality TV whore" and "old maid" both mean "single" now.

Chose this one for Tuesday.

It's a beauty Ronin!

I'm wearing my beloved Fish now. The coolest diver watch ever built, imho.

Fish today.

My favorite white dial.

Classy watch, great photos.

I think it's kinda cool. It's a tool watch and it has been treated like one.

Good morning people.

Haven't had much time to do the wrist checks lately. Today is a well deserved day off, spending it with this on my wrist.

944 is a great car. Turbo version is a bad ass vehicle, and highly underrated very fast car which handles great. But for me the 928 GTS is simply the coolest car ever made. I have dreamed about one since I was a teenager.

The lines of 944 are a bit dated (imho) but the 928 will always look absolutely timeless.

PS: Sorry people for takin' this offtopic.

By-Tor, I usually take anything you say as gospel but you're wrong on this one my friend

The 996 is lightyears ahead of the 993--Porsche had come to the limits of what could be accomplished with an air-cooled engine. Also, the Boxster has a distinctive look that's all its own, AND is a better sports car.

I looked at a 996 and a 986 and ended up buying the 986; better handling for less money was the deciding factor. I've been waiting for the engine to blow up so I can drop a turbo'ed 3.6 in it, but it's served faithfully for ten years so I guess I'll keep waiting...

Yes I know my friend. 996 is a superior car technically (as I said in my previous post)... it outperforms the old version in every department... it's an amazing car and a good looking car in its own merits, but not when compared to the 80's model which is an absolute classic. Just imho.

I don't like the "Boxster front" on 996 at all. Pretty much the same argument against the new steel Sub... it has nothing to do with technical facts, just emotion. But of course those are just my subjective opinions.

PS: Actually I'm a "Shark man" through and through. I love the 928. Especially the late 90's GTS... the only reason why I don't own one yet is that it's a scary animal. It eats your wallet dry.

Sounds like nit-picking to me. I just got the V3, and it's a pretty awesome watch. You start splitting millimeters and your being ridiculous. A woman in your life might help too.

What was the point of this post, and why did you post the insulting remark in the last sentence?

Then tell me what's wrong about one of our best 16610 experts posting his objective, informative opinions about the different versions?

If it ain't broke...

Exactly.

Original classic:

Ruined boxter-front 996:

Best originals cost more in Germany than their 15 years younger counterparts (despite being technically inferior). You shouldn't try to "improve" perfection.

Looks WM9 v1 to me.

Holbrook speaks the truth. The new fat lugs version is a visual downgrade.
