Well said. Neil's been at this longer than most have known reps were available... It's a risky business just to supply us with the watches. Cut him (and other dealers) some slack please! We're not ordering from Best Buy's website after all!!!

If you are cool to TTK, he's cool to you. Never had a problem with him. If you choose to approach TTK with an abrasive attitude, you're going to be on the business end of a Howitzer. Cheers, Neil. Hope you are well...

I'd say it's an HK Tan strap... Great watch.

Yeah, I say pass the PAW on! Those roaming garden gnomes really don't function at all, and they keep going... Just choose a recipient, and keep the PAW on the move... When/if it comes back to the US, I'll take care of getting it fixed... Please update!

Gotta do something to stay in the limelight. He's a media [censored], nothing more. Just like the rest of them...

Just did it. Thanks for the advice, mods. AGAIN, I have no problem with the beautiful women, just the nudies for my children. Now that the sigs & avatars are "off", it's no longer a problem for me, but I still feel it's not necessary here. Now back to watches... EIDT: can't seem to spell today...

Nice shots!!!

Thanks, Neil. I think I leaned more from Bob's repost of your thoughts than all my (uneducated) "research" of the last 2 months! Much appreciated for a COMPLETE amateur like me looking for a new camera... By the way, I have always meant to ask you: Does TTK mean that you have too much time on your hands, or that you will soon be removing someone from the gene pool? I think I know already, but your answers are always so entertaining... I hope you are well...

Jeez, never thought this discussion would lack traction the way it has. I'm no prude, nor is my wife. I'm not offended by nudity IN THE RIGHT PLACE!!!! Do you REALLY think a watch forum is the right place? Or is this just a case of heels firmly dug in? Nobody tells ME what to do, right? Yeah!!! For the record, the girl shots like what Overboosted has in his sig are cool, no worries there. My kids see that every weekend on our boat. It's the NUDES and PORN shots I object to since my kids like watches and look at sites with me. Honestly, is this so tough to figure out? Should my young kids be excluded from this site because of T&A? If so, how about a HUGE THANK YOU to all those with no respect to others?

OK, I appreciate your interest in nude women. Fine. I'm going to lay it on the line here. If I [censored] you off, too bad. MY YOUNG CHILDREN LOVE WATCHES. THEY LOOK AT ALL THE SITES WITH ME, AND PICK A WATCH FOR MY WIFE AND I TO WEAR NEARLY EVERY DAY. I DON'T LIKE THEM TO SEE NUDITY. THIS IS A FORUM ABOUT WATCHES, NOT CHICKS. IS THAT SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND? SOME PEOPLE LOOK AT THIS SITE AROUND THEIR WIVES, HUSBANDS, CO-WORKERS, WHATEVER. PERHAPS THEY LIKE IT THAT WAY, AND DON'T WANT TO EXPLAIN THE PHOTOS AWAY. I thought I may need to shout that. If you don't have kids and therefore cannot relate, then go to Wal-Mart and try to purchase some consideration for others. Oh, wait, it's something you can't buy. Hmmm.

I totally agree with you, Admin. I saw that avatar and thought it was quite over the top. I used to have some pretty racy avatars of beautiful women wearing cool watches, but one of the older members of the board made a comment about not being able to view the board at work because of some of the content. The point was well taken, and perhaps it should be revisited. I agree, there has to be freedom here, but some stuff simply is not appropriate. I have no problem with mods deleting offensive images...

Will these crowns work for 7750s like the Daylight?

Good to see your post here, Bob. Chasing bears. Crazy, I tell you! Hope you and the family are well...

It will be a replacement, so I will update when I receive the new one. 229 has stripped lug...

229 for me, but I have another one on the way...

Great combo! Congrats!!!

I don't want to burst your bubble, but these straps are absolute Sh*t... Your $ is better spent elsewhere...

Yeah, I know. Those first shot spoiled me though...

NICE!!! How is the date font? Looks a little thin? I know, I know. Get over it, right?

Or... 5. Because you love the watch.

OK, I'll play. You be the judge. Ziggified?

Why do you think it's not a rep? Serious question! I'm not being a smartass...

Anyone wiling to carry a credit card balance can own a nice watch. Rolex, IWC, Breitling, whatever. That's not an attack on any specific brand, just reality. Panerais have a draw to them that is not easily explained, and for many the first time it is felt is when the watch is actually on your wrist. There are many watch enthusiasts that don't get it, and that's fine. To each his or her own... All I can tell you to do is buy one. If you can wear it for a week and not "get it", I will be very surprised. THey are just a different buzz. Or, perhaps there's a small dose of Heroin on the caseback. That could be it...

Panerai for me.
