IMO the 249/232 arnt as well made as the 45mm Radiomir reps (183). It feels awefully cheap when you screw down the crown. Plus you need to modify the lugs etc. etc. etc.

I didnt like it AT ALL and sold it right away. Not because of the design, its simply a cheap replica

Thanks a lot or all the insight and information! Sounds like a good place for a beach vacation.

Oh and about Jamaika, I just saw some images of Dean on TV... the are f...ed there..!

It is a little different when you put the arrows in afterwards...

if you actually think you can time market moves I can think of a lot of quant funds who lost big last week who would love to hire.... Oh wait, PhDs from MIT still can't do it right...

I put arrows there where I said BEFORE to buy/sell stock. Of course I couldnt EXACTLY time the moments, but my timelines where accurate whithin days/weeks. I told you about selling/buying windows and those were exactly right.

Right now I wouldnt invest in anything too risky.

btw. is anyone here doing CFDs? I only need like 5k in the bank and can trade stock worth 500k =)

bourne was pretty good.

havnt seen the other movies yet, so my vote goes for bourne

I have two friends that just spent a week in Punta Cana, I see what they have to say today. I've been there twice and really liked it, but I spend all my time at an "all inclusive" resort drinking and walking the beaches, so never did too much beyond the resort. I'm always the only person on the beach with a watch, so about ten times a day people ask what time is it?

Thanks, that would be great!

Were the beaches as nice as shown on the pictures? Clean water? Is it good for diving?

I will most likely be staying all-inclusive aswell. Even though I dont like it, because the food quality is almost ALWAYS low if you book all inclusive and dont have

Yeah, I know all about Cuba, I would love to go there again, but I'm not travelling alone. Jamaika is nice aswell, my personal favorite would be Barbados (never been there, heared only good things about it).

But right now we are talkin about Punta Cana and not Cuba

Having owned those rep pens, I can assure you, that its best to get a REAL Mont Blanc.

The montegrappa rep sold by phoband/ttk is most likely the only decent "rep" pen out there.

Hey,

I thought about going to Punta Cana for a few days in September. Can anyone here first tell me, if its all messed up because of hurricane Dean, or was Punta Cana not really affected? I dont wanna arrive there and sit in the middle of a huge mess!

Yes, I know its dangerous, I've been in the Dominican Republic before... people guarding stores with AKs and Shotguns etc. I think I'll be fine with that!

Can anyone reccomend a nice (private/paid) beach close to Punta Cana (I know the public beaches are a MESS most of the time)? Is there a lot of rain in September? What is a MUST DO there? Any good restaurants? Hotels you can recommend?

B)

may I ask what kind of crown you have on your 112H?

there are no queensbury rules in the real world my friend

Look, in my defense I have arthritis

Sorry to hear that.

great pictures!

but whats wrong with the Submariner case on the reps??

how much did you pay?

Ummm...

Look at your Avatar Slay...

TT

Since when do we call people after their avatars, Mr BP?

A WatchMaster watch... but what does BF mean?

Nice beretta

The question now is.... who's got the bigger GUN?

this one?

naaaaahhhh, this one!!!

OR, if you have the balls......

He had to sell them all

I would definitely wear my WM hommage. But ANOTHER trip to the conus in such short time is just insane lol so I wont go.

btw. what kind of accident was hammer in? i read something about it a long time ago, but i didnt really get into the details.

Slay do you read Chronos ? they had an artical about sisilicum and diamond parts for watches in the last issue, (4/2007),

Not yet. Thanks for the tip, I'll see if I can get their last issue!

slay has a sense of humor?

Yes I do, you just dont understand it, b/c its too much over the head for you

Knowing Slay's sense of humour, I have to presume this is a joke.

this was actually not a joke. this thing looks like a small piece of metal that shouldnt be too hard to produce. or is it real diamond (like the name?)?

Can anyone (The Zigmeister maybe?) explain, why it is sooo difficult to make this "diamond wheel":

You should get your watch professionally pressure tested before you get it wet.

Even Patek suggest that their watches should be tested annually.

Well, now THAT is a reason why this 50$ waterproofing is not a scam of your buddie joshua :lol: Even if you pay for waterproofing, you have to make sure YOURSELF that the watch is waterproof, and if not, let someone do it again :lol:

see, there we have it again, andrew and josh LYING and frauding you guys.

to be honest, I _think_ you will get the same watch as everybody.

Why? because they should all be somewhat waterproof and there is no way you can tell it has been serviced.

If the watch fails, they simply apologize and send you a new one.
