Yer used tae four seasons in wan day. 4. Ye canna pass a chip/kebab shop withoot sleverin when yer blootert. 5. Ye kin fall about pished withoot spilling yer drink. 6. Ye see people wearin shell suits with burberry accessories - pure class! 7. Ye measure distance in minutes. 8. Ye kin understaun Rab C Nesbitt and know characters just like him, in yer ain family. 9. Ye go tae Saltcoats cos ye think it is like gaun tae the ocean. 11. Ye know whit haggis is made ae and stull like eating it. 12. Somedy ye know his used a fitba schedule tae plan thur wedding day date. 13. You've been at a wedding and fitba scores are announced in the Church/Chapel. 14. Ye urny surprised tae find curries, pizzas, kebabs, fish n chips, iron-bru, fags and nappies all in the wan shop. 15. Yer holiday home at the seaside has calor gas under it. 16. Ye know irn-bru is a hangover cure. 17. Ye learnt tae sweer afore ye learnt tae dae sums. 18. Finally, you are 100% Scot if you have ever said/heard these words; how's it hingin clatty boggin cludgie pished get it up ye wee beasties erse bandit amurny away an bile yer heid peely-wally humphey backit Ba'-heid baw bag dubble nugget And finally...... A wee Glesga wumman goes intae a butcher shop, where the butcher has just came oot the freezer, and is standing haunds ahint his back, with his erse aimed at an electric fire. The wee wumman checks oot the display case then asks, "Is that yer Ayrshire bacon?" "Naw," replies the butcher. "It's jist ma haun's ah'm heatin".
  3. Some people just aren't getting this, are they? Please, EVERYONE, take a look at the movements that are available for this project and base your choice on that.
  4. To add to what Pug said, anything that is getting into the several to tens of k's price band (unless it is another boring old Panerai) is going to take us outwith the movement choices that we were limited to, assuming we are going to maintain authenticity. The chances of us getting the double whammy of a complication module replicated out of this venture, while a pleasing thought, are slim....
  5. I've resent! They've always been spot on in the past and I've been a fairly regular customer so I'm pretty accustomed to their response time. Just wondered if there was something amiss of late though. My other suspicion is that they are delaying replying to me until they can make enquiries of their own and get back to me with an answer
  6. Has anyone received comms from Angel/Jay in the last 5 days? Reason I am asking is I enquired last Sunday about an order I need in time for Christmas, and they are going to lose a sale if I don't hear back from them within the next few days. If you are reading this guys - please get in touch.
  7. Or in some cases you can do both JTB. Should be fun watching the results...
  8. My 2p's worth. A decent Oris TT1 Divers Titan. 2824 movement. Simple variation on a theme. Not stratospherically priced either. Plus meets the extended criteria for an upgrade to a chrono, using 7750 with standard subdial layout.
  9. Not even with yours, John. :yucky:
  10. PS. If that is true then I honestly didn't know.
  11. I've never been a big fan of AP watches, but this really caught my eye. Don't you just hate it when your imposed prejudice against a brand (to spare your bankruptcy) gets dented like this.... http://www.silix-prime.com/images/upfile/aups022-6.jpg
  12. Considering your signature, I am surprised you didn't include Porky Pig's rendition of Blue Christmas.
  13. SS black dial Daytona. El Primero vintage (not unlike the frankenUbiTona). My dad used to make a bit of pocket money getting on the AD list for them in the UK and then selling them to footballers and other posers in Italy. I would get to wear them for a few seconds before they were passed to their new owners....
  14. ersebunnet Hmm. Doesn't really translate well. (Only JTB and Neil will get this...)
  15. Brilliant! Childish, but brilliant. Incidentally, thank goodness Sir Paul finally realised what a lying psycho Ms Mills is.
  16. The TZ guy has a point about external AR coating. My Breitling Seawolf Ti rep has the deepest AR I have ever seen on any watch, rep or gen, and it shows smears, dust, fingerprints etc. etc. terribly. Trying to keep it mark-free is almost impossible and I know I am having to be constantly careful I don't damage the coating.
  17. From the day I saw Layer Cake it was always Daniel Craig for me....
  18. Don't hold your breath.....
  19. I tipped off four (yes, four) of our dealers away back in February that the black faced, rubber strapped 45mm Planet Ocean would be in HIGH HIGH demand in November, citing my reasons and passing some of them spy shots off the set of Casino Royale The dealers I told can stand up to the plate and name themselves if they so wish! They got fair warning. Now, just stop faffing and get a 22mm rep strap commissioned NOW and watch the cash roll in......
  20. Made possible because they've gone to the 2824 movement which is thinner than the previously (inappropriately) used 2836.
