I walk out my door, then walk about 300 yards and see this:

Magnificent Ben Lomond.

JTB

Wauw, magnificent scenery!

In fact here's a picture taken backstage at the Aussie version of Live Aid:

JTB

They have bikes down under?????????

Who would have guessed they already evolved to that stage?

The only way, short of jungle drums.

Do you all think that devedander will be satisfied with the answers given???

HE HAS SPOKEN - HE HAS SPOKEN - THE GREAT AND ELUSIVE ONE HAS DEIGNED US WITH SOME LETTERS OF WISDOM................ALAS.................I'm having difficulty with the second part of thy message oh masterful one!

JTB

How about; if you don`t see it, i don`t have it!!!!!

I could be wrong but i don`t think so.

But not sure what the right forum is...

I wanted to ask ttk about a watch but it's not one he sells and his instructions say to include the number of the watch you are interested in so I obviously can't... also can't PM so what's the best way to contact ttk with a question?

Or if he doesn't accept requests or questions of this sort it would be good to know also

So now you know!!!D

Only people with the secret password are able to contact TTK. Don`t ask me cause i don`t have that one either.

Go suck a donkey Neil. No I heard of him months ago, I wasn't sure if anyone here had heard of him cause he's local.

Britney who?

Don`t go pick a fight with Neil........................you loose.

About Ofrei, the members here are probably his biggest clients. His name is wellknown around here.

I`ve ordered one too. Wrist is too small for it but.......F$&# it! I think it`s gorgeous. Maybe it will never leave the watchbox.

Puggy undoubtable that is an excellent photo and one that neither I nor most of the members whould have a chance in hell of taking, but really I feel (and hey I could be wrong) that if you PS the glare out you would have a prize winnig photo.

Ken

I agree. The pic of the young monk is a fantastic holliday pic as the one with the old monk is a fantastic magazine/ gallery pic. Like i said before it has a story to tell. But don`t go ps on my account although i`m curious how it looks without. Both i haven`t got a chance in hell off taking

Ok, here's one from two years ago without glare:

Although very nice colours i think the one with the old monk who is looking out the window is so much nicer because if you look at it it has a story to tell. But there is just that &$^@&@* glare.

Probably if i would see it as a blow up in real i wouldn`t mind the glare.

... and there was me thinking it was good because of the glare.

I`m sorry, i agree with Ken. I too thought wat a beautiful pic if not for the glare.

But then again; De gustibus non est disputandum

Well a certain ~ somewhat contentious member here could use this, but I suspect every Spell Check software has it's limits...

(mind you I could kill someone with my 187 I suppose but then I'd risk losing the bloody bezel markers!).

No, but if so I would be about 3 years older then you.

I rest my case!

OK, are these replica knifes or gens? Hey, lets add a knife repair and upgrade section, ya know, to answer questions like "just stabbed a chap today and broke the tip of my tanto, where do I source a new blade?" or "my new N.....a knife got all bloody and yack, after trying it out today, how do I polish it", or how about some mods for knifes, guards for instance? Or some wrist shots of knifes, like here is my new knife, and here is my new knife stuck into my buddy's leg... And does anybody do AR coating for 440 blades or would it stick better on 420J, how about carbon steel, how ya coat that? I mean there are lots of reasons why we could discuss knifes on this board, why not when you think of it?

How old are you.........10. If you can`t contribute in an adult manner then please dont respond.

Every person has it`s own boundaries as to what is acceptable on this board. For very understandable reasons Avitt has very strict ones (who wouldn`t in his situation). Others like me are not in his situation (thank god) and can look at knives as a tool and sometimes as a piece off art (nanuq`s gift to his son as a perfect example). And i don`t mind them being here on the board. I don`t like guns on this forum so that is my boundary. Strange....maybe but for me a knife is not a weapon perse but a gun is. But that are just my thoughts and my 0,2 cents

What the hell is "jew gold"?

Uh ....I would like to know what is meant by that as well.

It`s a south park thing! '

To Avitt my deepest condolences

When I was an optician years ago, we had a machine that coated the lenses with the AR coat, after they had been milled to the right prescription. I wonder if you could just pay the local LensCrafters to put AR on your crystal...

That is what some members do so it`s possible.

Superb!

But with your photography skills you can make a turd look like something i really need to have

If the price is right i would buy it yes!

It was 40 degrees on my bike this morning... still shorts weather! 29 degrees last week.

Beautiful landscape. For how many days do you have a real summer there, 5 or 6?

I think........................ this topic has the longest title ever

The reviews these guys write are very informative. We are lucky to have them on the boards.

Absolutely true that's why i'm thinking to buy a new ar coated crystal (and a genuine dial if i could find at reasonable price).

How much would a new ar coated crystal cost do you think? Would it not be less expensive to take it to an optician and let them ar coat it?

More pics please!

How cold is it already there?

Very nice, congrats! Been gone for a while haven`t you?

Well the watch hobby is still going strong i see.

Did you buy this omega?

You have good taste!

Thank you kind sir, yes i did.

Seriously though, how do I get a box of cuban Montecristo #2s to my door in the US?

With a lot of luck
