An excellent review, and pretty much spot on my feelings with regards to the movie. As for the 'gaps' - some are unfortunate consequences of the need to fit in with movie studios' idea of an acceptable running time (scope for a Director's cut DVD there...), others will be filled in in movies to come PS. Have you considered posting the above review here? Your opinion of Die Another Day is shared by many there.

Maybe it's about time the US did what most of the sane parts of the rest of the world do and start printing different value notes on different colours/sizes of paper??!!

Don't be surprised if you end up with a Chrono Avenger Ti. Its a common error for dealers to make ie. confusing the two the majority of parts are the same.

Because the movements for the reps are usually bulk manufactured and in stock before the rep itself is designed and built, so often the datewheel that the movement arrived with just gets chucked in there. That is why, for example, the first batch of Planet Ocean Chronos had Panerai datewheel font. Once the stock of existing movements gets used up then they might shift their ass and tool up a new datewheel...

Yeah. Of The Zigmeister....

I've no words. Feel for your loss. Take whatever time you need.

Sadly, the prospects for the scripts are bleak as Robert Wade and Neil Purvis are still on the team - they clearly haven't taken the hint that their first attempt for Casino Royale was [censored] and it took an Oscar winning scriptwriter (Paul Haggis) to rewrite their crap.

Is that a fact??!

Urban Legends

Ahh - you think in ££s! Where in the UK are you?

When I first saw this thread title I misread it as 'Americans Need Help!'... (Is there 'light blue touch paper and run' smiley?!)

Is that the one that's a receiver for the bug hidden in Sepp Blatter's lapel? No?! Not interested then...

I am glad someone appreciated it You have no idea some of the good incidental stuff they removed (like the significance of the small boy in the African terrorist camp at the beginning, and the fact that the good looking blonde was Le Chiffre's bodyguard more than girlfriend, thus explaining the bad guy's penchant for stripping his male captives naked...... ) coz you knew it was coming??!! Maybe some day we'll get together and talk about all things Bond and watches. Better wrap it up here as some people are getting bored of us (but then I don't go crapping on their Euro Champions League borefests... )

They are Seamaster Pro straps for the mid and full sized SMP case, not Planet Ocean straps. You can differentiate the genuine PO strap by the slightly different buckle (it has a round tongue rather than a 10mm flat one).

Don't worry - the interest will die down.... in a few weeks. Then, you've got a rest until March when the DVD comes out.....

That is not nearly enough initial winding on a 7750. Even the Valjoux 7750s can have problems if you use the complications without a decent power reserve built up.

Yeah, I know. It was Master Mates, and the cabin boy was Tom. Black Pig however was still controversial.....

Correct. The case has had to be modified and lugholes redrilled in a different position to allow the rep rubber strap to fit as it was originally designed for the SMP, not the PO. Trusty supplies cases with two sets of lugholes and a positioning hole in the case to accomodate the strap locator. Not having these means you end up with a huge gap between strap end and case. The genuine 20mm PO strap fits the 42.5mm rep perfectly....

And the first person to mention Seaman Staines and Master Bates gets it... (Ooops)

You as well?! And I see more people will now be understanding my squidgy balls reference....

2 watches - 45mm Planet Ocean, black bezel on black rubber strap, and Seamaster 300m.

I remember you mentioning this way back when the 1st Unit was in the Bahamas. Fantastic - she's immortalised now (along with Richard Branson!!)

It's easy if you enlist the help of a friend to push the paper clips in for you while you separate the sections of the clasp.

You can get a pretty near spot on replica of the 42.5mm version.

Sure is - he knows exactly what I have been looking for......
