Customer care at it's very best

You're not wrong there. I've purchassed many budget watches in the past few years, and I've always found their quality to be more than satisfactory

I can't comment on how well it's replicated, but 'as a watch', I think it looks great It's fun to see what's on markets abroad, as they often have some interesting fantasy models Not always to everyone's taste, but always interesting to see

Paying that much for a watch, is crazy... Having six identical mil-subs in a collection is OCD gone too far... A fun read, but I think I'll be sticking with reps

I'm not much of a Breitling fan, but I like the 2nd watch

Awesome Interesting that the shape of the lugs appears to come from a bend in the steel, rather than machined shaping

I like the sound of that

Dude, the Picts used woad to make 'temporary tattoos', not the real thing They were just Emo Poseurs

Thanks, bro, I don't really wear rings anymore, other than my wedding ring, but I really liked the design, drew it on with a Sharpie and liked how it looked, so decided to go for it That's really nice, the shading's super-smooth, I bet it's healed up a treat

I had this done Saturday. Most painful tattoo I've had done. I took the design from this:

Personally, I prefer the matte dials and lack of surrounds on the indices: Cleaner, simpler, more elegant in their monochromatic utilitarianism. As an extension from that, I prefer the 7919 and 7016 Tudor subs, simply because the shapes of the indices allow for greater visibility, I believe, than the 1680 dial

[Edit to add] And this from me, including new finger tattoo

You want to get one of these (double sides, so 4 abrasive surfaces) Start with the pad numbered 1, and buff all over the crystal (working around the cyclops just requires a little caution, but would not be impossible) You want to buff the crystal till you can't really see any of the original scratches, and the entire crystal will appear 'frosted' and you won't really be able to see through it. Then move on to pad 2, and repeat the process. Same with pads 3 and 4, and by that time the crystal should be near pristine again. If you want to really take the polish to the next level, put a smear of toothpaste on the crystal (no where near as much as you would use when cleaning your teeth) and rub in tight, circular motions with either your thumb, or a bit of kitchen roll. Do that for maybe 4-5 minutes, then rinse under the cold tap, and it should be good as new Of course, if it's not a plastic crystal, then the above will not work

If it's a plastic crystal, you'll be able to re-finish it with a 4-sided nailfile and some toothpaste on a bit of kitchen roll

Patek as above but silver

How about with a child's toothbrush and a mild soap solution?

With the greatest of respect, TTK sounds like someone who does not take the best care of himself with regards his health, so 5 years of failing health will certainly take its toll on a person's outlook and state of mind. He has previously mentioned eye problems due to blepharitis (which is an easily manageable condition) and said that he could not see because of the eye creams he needed to use, but any optician will tell the patient to apply the ointments at night, when vision is not really a necessity, so to be honest, I attribute much of that as attention-seeking behavior.

He threatened Admin. What possible reason should he be allowed back for?? If a guest in your home insulted your family and then threatened you, would you still invite them round for beers?

He's banned, what more do you suggest? I agree, coming on forum under a troll pseudonym and messing with people's heads, trying to garner sympathy, albeit by proxy, shows a very ill mind, but one probably best left to its own devices and ignored rather than giving him the attention he clearly thought he deserved.

It is my understanding that he made personal threats against Admin.

I'm not surprised, my mother in law has a pink crazy hours, and she has said that people often comment on it to her

Beautiful watch, best of luck with your sale

On vacation in Turkey, if I recall

I'd disagree, in that I feel that religion can provide what pure science cannot. I feel that the two complement each other, rather than having to be mutually exclusive camps As you say, monogamy works for some, not for all. This is precisely the point I'm meaning. If it's done through the bounds of marriage, everyone is legally protected, and there's no need for shady behaviour which costs in the divorce court That's why I think it's funny that the option which provides the stability/protection is considered illegal/immoral, yet the option which provides nothing, while still considered immoral by some, is not legally actionable (other than divorce), where in fact it should be, as a breach of contract
