    Here is how it happens. Facebook originally came out of the top schools in the U.S. and spreads there (Harvard - Yale, Stanford, etc.) and then it spread to the UK and EU. At each school facebook becomes an inherent part of college student life. College students become grad students and grad students become professors. And along the way all high school students want to be college students....and underage students want to be high school students - a vicious circle isn't it. :)

    Same behaviour here from my 13 and 16 years old kids.

    Everything is happening through FB, including teachers are sharing stuff with their students.

    I'm 100% in agreement with you W.

    It's THE only way they communicate our kids.

    Thus, they will become, as any actual teen, adults with a FB culture.

    Well, friends, even distant, are the best medicine down here.

    Some of us met you, some not, but many wanted to send you more than just best wishes.

    I will certainly not pretend I know what YOU are fighting.

    But being the other half of a wonderfull woman who just finished the Radio Therapy herself, I have a much better picture of what it means than when you and I sit talking about cancer at our first GTG waiting for everyone to arrive.

    No need to say how much I am impressed by the force you guys can show.

    The watch is awesome, the watchmaker isn't as awesome :o, but he made a great job :p and is a fantastic human :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    So are you Cats.

    I keep my finger crossed and am certain that you and your familly will find the strenght and patience to go through all this, once again.

    Hoping for the last time!

    All the best from us here in Brussels,

    Warmest regards

    I've always wanted a Reverso for myself and never choose it even after many tries in various configurations, it doesn't fit my wrist at all.

    Squadra included.

    They look weird on me.

    So, I bought one for my better half's 50th birthday because I needed to have one in house.

    They are stunning, but just not for me.

    My JLC is a simple Master Control. Not the new one, this one:

    Before you go for a Reverso (Grand Date is perfect of course and was my initial wish), check the Master Control Home Time or, but very expensive, Polaris :clap2:

    Good luck with the choice! I would stay with JLC though...every watch lover should have one of these because of all the reasons you mentionned and because the regular ones are affordable on the second hand market!

    Ah, well, GTGs should be better in the future Frank.

    The last one was indeed smaller: Modelizer, Andy, a couple of friends...but Berlin was super and the evening too.

    In 2012 we won't be asking the membership where they want to go!

    We'll go to Malmö :)

    So, unless Modelizer change his mind, which I doubt, you can already note Malmö in your agenda as the next EU "official" GTG :)

    I will attend for sure, whenever it is.

  12. Peter @ iwatchstore.com ? Reviews?

    What has HE got that our TD's don't have..??......

    I would be very surprised to find ANYTHING out there in that "jungle" we call the web, that you couldn't find from a TD for the same or less $$'s..

    There are literally THOUSANDS of scammers out "there" who will take your money and run...

    One of the main reasons we have sites like this one is to protect ourselves and our bros from them....

    I've been around this scene for @ 7 yrs now, and I've yet to see one of these threads(and I've seen plenty of them!!)produce a new reliable source of quality product!!

    +1.

    + Each time I see such a thread, I suspect it to be a spam in fact :g:

  22. Project 1665

    Ooooohhhh, dunno if I want to see the final results on this one.. I might never be able to look my rail dialed MBW 1665 in the face ever again.. :black_eye:

    Can you put a NSFmodelizer note in the title when it's complete?

    JK - I can't wait to see it in full glory! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    I was thinking the exact same thing!

    I sourced a Rail Dial and I am missing good matching hands...

    So, I started a mini review of my new great white.

    But, now, I think I will have to source a better crown, a better case, a better date wheel...

    Well, better everything except the 2846 movement which is running like a quartz watch!

    To be as original as every one else Ubi: I can't wait to see the baby finished :thumbsupsmileyanim:
