Definitely not. All Navitimers come from the same factory, there are a few BCE makers, two Skyland makers, two heritage makers, etc.

Thats the guy!

Go for the old style SMP Chrono. Correct he valve location, and aside from a slightly low pearl, its just about perfect.

That pearl looks to blobby. I'd contact Josh and have him send you an insert for the UPO.

I'm sure these kinds of things happen all the time.

As you can in this pic of the gen, the 13 is accurate to your gen movement, not the rep...

Pug is right, the true UPO is a better platform to begin modding, simply because it will accept most gen components. The silix version that you have is best to be kept as a beater watch.

Nnice pics, thanks for sharing!

Those pics are of a Super Avenger bracelet if I'm not mistaken. Anyone know how the Rep skyland pro I compares?

Great looking watch, congrats!

Kind of have to disagree with you there Pug. Sure the interface is slick, everything Apple does is. But, as I recall, when the ipod was released it was the first hard drive based player around. The other MP3 players were all using very limited flash based memory. My Rio player that I was using had a stock 32mb that could be upgraded to 64, then later 256mb. Nothing came close to the iPods 5gig drive, and by the time they caught up, the ipod was already firmly entrenched.

Yep, always a lot going on in the summer which cuts back on the online time.

Happy Birthday Mate, enjoy the day!

Its not normal, but it is a common issue. Sending it to The Zigmeister for service will solve the problem, but I'd send it back for replacement.

Monster does a lot of marketing and sponsorship, which I assume drives the price upwards. Unlike regular soft drinks, you cant expect consumers to knock back 4 or 5 of these a day either. They are pricey, but I think their competition is more the Starbucks crowd than the Coke crowd.

Apple cashed in on the right marketing strategy at the right time. MP3 pirating was taking off, and Apple's "Rip, Mix, Burn" slogan played right in to that. They just didn't create the player, they created free software that allowed users to easily catalogue their collections. Storage space was amazing for the time (5 gigs), which was enough to keep most people rocking for days without repetition. Also, being able to use the device as a portable firewire drive fit the needs of mac users (mostly designers in those days) nicely. Apple continued to improve the device on a regular basis, adding space and cool new features with every release. I've owned several ipods over the years, starting with the 10gig V2. I remember being the only guy on my commute to have one! My most recent ipod, the "Touch", is another brilliant device. However, as an ipod, I think it took a giant step backward. The "external drive" option has been disabled. Adding things like videos from a different computer than your own is impossible. It just seems very prohibitive in what you can do with it. I use my 5g 60 gig ipod video as my traveling device, and the touch as a portable internet & email device at home.

I think the old ones were right. I seem to recall some newer ones were being delivered with 12 hour movements.

I really don't understand people who's ONLY concern is accuracy. If thats all you want, there are a million Timex's that are almost 100% accurate Why don't you stop, look around, and decide what you like? I'd much rather have a watch that I like with a few flaws, than one that I am solely buying based on its accuracy.

I am pretty sure the rep UTC functions as a 12 hour clock, even though the dial is printed as 24.

WIth the Ferrari finishing 2nd in the last event, and knowing how dedicated Schumacher is, I'll be very surprised if he doesn't win.

True that nothing ever gets settled in these types of discussions, but there is one thing that you will always notice. You will always see a number of PC users that have switched to mac and state that they will never go back. Rarely do you ever hear of a mac user trying a PC and vowing to never return to the land of Apple. Apple's customer retention numbers are astounding, and have been for a long time. There is a reason for that I'm long past trying to recruit "switchers", so if you are too stubborn to give a mac a chance, thats fine. Oh BTW, Im a mac systems administrator looking after about 25 macs. It is very rare indeed that I have to look after any issue related to a macs hardware or its operating system. In fact, 90% of my issues are problems with MICROSOFT Office programs, or problems with our Microsoft Network.

There is no winner or loser. One watch is visually more accurate, the other is constructed beter and more affordable.

True Ubi, and it's not just on the web either. I find that real world manners have all but disappeared as well, and I can only shake my head at the rudeness of some people.

Yep, you'd pretty much use an entire v3 but for the bezel & pushers.

That is a pic of a watch that was on eBay a while back. It's a blinged out Evo dial in a v3 skyland case.
