Well, Leonovo and Envy are nice and all, but they dont run OS X :)

The other thing that really bugs me about the Air: I cant eat while on my laptop anymore!! I'm just too scared to make smudges on the keyboard or trackpad...

I've always said, Blancpain are the only watches that can be properly repped with the Tourby movements we have. They look almost identical.

Yet noone seems to be repping them

back in the days I was SO for skeletons, but now I think they all look ugly. I dont know why, but I think taste changes over time?

A/R looks terrific!

I wonder what members over here think about Dave... TT?

Battery life will extend once you use it several times. Mac air is nice if you're just using it for word, surfing, etc.

thats what I need it for which was the reason why I got a Macbook Air and not a Powerbook. I dont need a graphics accelerator and 20something Ghz and 400GB Harddrive.

I still have an iMac and Dropbox lets me share everything between them, so I think I'm all set. Just a bit dissapointed, because I was expecting a bit more.

I must say, I only bought it, because I paid 700 less than retail, so it was a good deal. I wont get the same deal on one of the next gen Macbooks!

it has a 1.6ghz ultra low voltage cpu, and no graphics accelerator, i expect something around 7hours!

my 4 year old centrino notebook with 1.4ghz cpu (that takes much more power) and ati radeon 9700 graphics card had 4hrs already!

Just got a Macbook Air today... well, its okay, but 90% is hype if you ask me. I think its still heavy for its size and the battery sucks. I get like 3.5 hours out of it (while on wlan), thats ridiculous!

What are your Macbook Air experiences?

just a question, why exactly is this watch so sought after?!

Im sorry, I was referring to the one from WatchMark which is actually under $600... not $500.

Does THAT one suck bigtime? It looked pretty good to me.

T

I have not seen it in person, but from the pictures I can see that its inferior to the one I have. It also houses a different movement and datewheel than my watch. The plastic parts look like they're made of much lower quality and the clasp seems to be lousy aswell. It also comes with a black crown, which I have never seen on a black magic?

I'm very happy with the watch I got, and I'm very tight when it comes to buying watches! I would not have spend close to 600$ for watchmarks. Maybe 300, but not more!

Tell me how an entire J12 can be made in ceramic for what it does??? Or how SOME dealers can sell a full ceramic HBB for under $500 when others sell the HBB with ceramic bezel for nearly twice that???

I have been told from someone who I trust that a full ceramic bezel will be available in the very near future. THEN the dealers will have a reason to market an ULTIMATE GMT IIc and add another $100 to the price.

The bezel in the GMT IIc IS a layer of ceramic over metal. It IS NOT plastic.

PS, DEALERS.... WHY ARE CERAMIC PARTS SO EXPENSIVE???

The Full ceramic HBBs for under 500$ suck bigtime!

I did ask him if it was an automatic and he said that it was....quartz was the first thing that crossed my mind also....

Yes 1-2 NLH is a grind....a lot of tight players....

This one guy (who practically lives in the poker room) keeps urging my to step over to the 3-5 NLH table....but the rumor has it that those guys have way too much money and chase every hand down to the river regarless of risk....I think ill stay away....I hear the 10-20 down at the Bellagio is a good game....maybe someday....

I dont get off work untill 10pm tonight....but ill try and hit the tables for atleast 2 hours....ill keep ya guys posted and thanks for the responses....

Thats the problem when you play with rich folks. My friend is a very good poker player and played at a tournament with 500Euro buy-in once. He made it to the top 20 (from about 500), but the problem was that almost all of the other players made re-buys from 1000 to 5000 every 2hours. And he only had his 500. Its almost impossible to win such a game when you opponents just keep buying more and more chips. Thats why he's now only playing in turnaments where there is no 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th re-buy!

I for myself am probably not a very good gambler, because I only play my card when I hit something, I almost never bluff. That always leaves me with profits, but we're talkin about maybe 50euros per game (just a game for fun with my buddies), I would probably never last when playing against top poker players!

If it is a genuine Horotec set (which sells for $20 on ofrei), it looks like a great deal.

Sorry, I dont get it ?

I asked Andrew about the pricing on this and he told me that it was down to the high price of the gen they bought and that the hand inlaid dial cost nearly $100 to make.

LOL, maybe 100$ for a batch of 500 dials, but who seriously believes that ANYONE would pay 100$ for a watch dial in china? Even genuine dials are not that expensive when you get them as replacement parts!

I've probably seen 3-4/year here in Ohio. I've also seen some really bad fakes, so bad I almost want to ask the person to take them off.

lmao that made my day

Gen TimeWalker, right?

Nice...

GEN or 7753 (which I doubt)

black magic ceramic case, 1st factory. the one i have

1 PAM 001 (the "luminor"-style)

1 PAM 250 (the "luminor-chrono"-style)

1 PAM 187 (the "big fcukin chunky huge bezel"-style)

1 PAM 127 (the "fiddy"-style)

1 Flyback Fiddy (the "fiddy-chrono"-style)

1 WM Cali Pam ("radiomir"-style)

1 PAM163 (also "radiomir chrono"style)

thats it for me... I have a 183 also, but that one is in pieces

I dont try to collect too many of the "same" watch (meaning I dont nee a 036 if I already own a 001/111 and I dont need a 196 since I already own a 250).

I also wont get a NorthPole because I have the 187 already.

can you tell me more about the middle eastern stuff, kruzer?!

if they did not use the real deal to make the copy, I'm eager to see how the rep looks like. How can it be 1:1 if they didnt have the genuine?

Another question is the movement, it will be hard to get a similar dateposition and power reserve. I was hoping they copied the whole movement, but I guess they didnt

I'm almost positive they will use this movement:

My very first exposure to the Replica World was in early 2005...

It was your site...

You almost had me for $1,800.00 for a Rep Daytona than could of been purchased right here for $380.00...

"James" - Blow Me!

Ken & By-Tor have been much more nicer than I would of been had I been signed on earlier...

:popcorn:

TT

2005? Wow, so you are newer to this than me?

Why is everyone trying to give input on things he does not know SHIITE about? TJ asked question that can only be answered by a handful of people, so WHY does everybody else step in here and give their [censored]?

Hey, if a young student asks stephen hawking about the beginning of the universe, I'M not the one who should open his mouth and start blablaing gossip I have heared somewhere and draw conclusions that I think should be right!

And also, Arguing on the Internet is like running the special olympics @By-Tor, let go, he wont understand you, and you wont understand him and I'm pretty sure you will never find a solution. I _think_ I understand the both of you, but I dont feel its my essential provision to arbitrate between the both of you. And everyone else should think that way, too!

Hey ken if i am driving you can travel with me.

Thanks mate I'll let you know when I'm back up at the base again so we can talk some more watches

The Hotel looks marvelous btw.!

how much was the watch?

could you guys please stop refering to Andrew and Josh as J&A? J&A stands for Jay and Angel = silix.

Call them JAndrew or cartel, or A-Team, but please not J&A, it might lead to confusion!

I'm in, as always
