  1. No it's not. That's why I referred to it as "similar." Regardless, it's a nice looking watch. Go to Sea Gull's home page and it shows it immediately. Of course I can't read one thing on the site, but, the pix are pretty good.
  2. This is the only similar Sea Gull watch I've seen in ebay. Price is 250USD shipped.
  3. Me either. There are the so called daily specials, but, I can't find anything that is even remotely close to an offer of 50% off anything.
  4. You're right, the guy is a sick piece of work. Concerning the Vegas arrest, what does that matter what he was arrested for? The law has been after this guy ever since he got away with killing two people, and maybe this is their shot at putting the guy away for a long time. One can only hope. Concerning the arrest, the guy in the room he went to see was his former partner in selling OJ memorabilia. When they parted ways his ex-partner ended up with some of OJ's stuff. Simpson probably forgot the items when they parted way and when the auctioneer brought it to his attention he was nuts to get it all back. He "could" have just gone to his room and talked to him, but, he didn't, he did his typical OJ routine. I hope he goes down, but he has a history of slipping out of difficult situations.
  5. Nope. No one cares what you wear over here. Watches, clothes, whatever, it's all good.
  6. That's funny. I sent it along to a whole list of other perverts.
  7. I don't know about that at all. I suppose if you're comfortable with that then you should buy an MBW from him. I've never dealt with him, mainly because he never responded to any email sent. Others have had the same experience. But, what the heck, the guy is busy and I can understand that. Been that way a few times in my life, too. I got my Patek Jumbo from Paul months ago when he put the first one up in RWG trying to sell it. He happened to be there on business at the time. Saved about $150 + in taking Paul up on his offer, too. So there you go........
  8. Well now, aren't you just the most adventurous and fun loving guy out there. Avartar's like Peter Pan and Mother Goose more to your liking? Let me get this straight, okay? Black Beard the Pirate is out? Bet ya like the Honey's that they're now putting up as you log in and have logged in, too. You're looking at fake watches, considering buying some, and you want to be our moral conscience? BTW, do you have the kiddies around the computer when you look at fake "mechanical" watches? Oh, what a joyous family thing to do! "Hey, Honey, it fake watch time! Bring the kids and let's partake!!" WTF??? Ever been to the bar with the guys and slammed a few in a contest? In college I got it down to 3 seconds. Beat that, "Family Guy."
  9. On Page 113 of this issue it shows the "new" Timex issue of their new line of "automatics." I find this interesting for two reasons. One, it's not made by Timex, and, two, why doesn't WatchTime magazine give credit to Sea Gull watches. The "new" Timex was produced by Sea Gull. No one told me this other than a photograph of a Sea Gull I purchased for less than $250.00. I'm going to research this until I can find a selling price for this "new" Timex. I don't have a scanner at home so I can't show those who do not subscribe to the magazine what it looks like - the Timex. But, for those who do get it take a look and then take another look at this photograph below Tim PS: I found a photo of the Timex after I posted this.
  10. Timex. You think I'm kidding? Nope. I have a few friends who have that car and believe it or not they either wear a decent Timex or a Casio. They say the best part of that every now and then someone askes and he shows them. The people who ask are shocked. The car owners laugh. I drive a car in that price range and my day-to-day is typically a Timex Ironman, s/s 25th Anniv. issue with a s/s bracelet. You can't kill that watch. Had it since 1998 and it STILL has the original battery. Anyhow, buy a Timex and have yourself a few chuckles.......
  11. Nope, actually they're still in shock from last week when one of our home state teams kicked the crap out of them. App State 34 Michigan 32. I'm loving it!!!!! Trust the Ducks won.
  12. Nice collection! I have one that belonged to someone in my family, but, not sure who it was. Likely my great grandfather, or, grandfather - well, maybe. Not sure. Pretty cool watch and it works. Absolutely no clue what it's worth. Tim
  13. $649.00? Were you wearing a neon sign, flagging a fist full of money?
  14. That's looks very accurate. Odd ball watch, but it does have a degree of appeal about it. Kind of art deco in appearance. If, in person, it looks as good as the photos then why would they spend so much time on a watch that (probably) won't have broad appeal? Still, I might buy it. Dunno. Tim
  15. Might be nothing. They could be one in the same. If they are then the dealers have worked a deal to circumvent the Bangkok lock They're made in Taiwan and (I think) finished in T-land for distribution. It's anyone's guess at this point. Maybe one of them will step and and clear it all up.
  16. Perhaps you're using a different program than I used. Mac offered "Parallels Desktop" and I tired it, but I was very unsatisfied with the results. Some programs loaded, while others would not. Also, the screen was small and difficult to navigate. I'll purchase the new OS simply because it "appears" as if it will load a Windows OS. I'll load 2000 with their 4th and final updates. The reason I'll use that OS is that it was about as crash proof as they get. I hope it works. I'm really not concerned over playing any games on this iMac, or, any Windows, other than Backgammon, so the gaming aspect of either one is moot on my side. Tim
  17. If you want a glitzy soon-to-be non-functioning watch then go for it! What a waste of good money though. Why not buy a watch that works like the TX? Less money, more glitz, and it will work and work and work and work. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-TIMEX-TX-770-RUBBE...VQQcmdZViewItem
  18. I agree with you 100%! I started out with DOS back in 1979 and progressed (oxymoron) my way thru Bill Gates's programming until 3 months ago. I'd had it with Gates and that was the end of him. I purchased three Mac computers, two iMac's for home and office and one MacBook. I was FORCING myself away from Gates. Took me about one to two weeks to figure it out, but, today would I ever go back to a Gates OS? NEVER, and I don't care who makes the computer (Dell, et al). Also, on this new Dual Processor (Intel) the machine boots up in 22 seconds. Yes, you read that right, 22 SECONDS! Start your Dell up (any pc with Windows XX), grab a beer, talk to the wife and maybe when you finish doing all of that your Dell, et al, MIGHT be fully booted. Try it, you'll like it and you'll never go back to Bill Gates. Also, to further entice you, the new OS for Mac, due out in October, will run Windows right out of the gate.
  19. And, to think, they walk among us....
  20. It's the SIMPLE things they miss. They're right in front of their faces, but for whatever the reason is they miss it. Take a look at the knurling (see photos). How do you mess that up??? That's a simple tool and they make them all the time, but yet they either missed it, didn't want to bother making the tool, or didn't pay any attention to detail. Pick one, or, pick all three. And, the back? How in God's name did they miss that? Hey, maybe they had a blindfold on at the time and tried the Braille method of engineering that piece. Also, did you catch the hour markers? Like, HELLO, that's not how they are made. How do you miss that? Dunno. As you so aptly put, they take something simple, can't fathom it, and mess it up when, in fact, it would be far easier if they just simply followed the pattern they had in their hands. Give it to the guys in Taiwan and let them do it right from the get go. Do that and you'll have a nice MBW to buy.
  21. A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks, in the sweetest little lisp, between two missing teeth, "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?" As the shopkeeper's heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he's on her level and asks, "Do you want a widdle white wabbit, or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?" She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says, in a tiny quiet voice, "I don't think my python weally gives a thit."
