TeeJay

It's not the kind of thing I would expect UK officers to do (and as you say, they're used to dealing with IRA shite) I certainly wouldn't expect it of the Isreali Militia, those guys are Hardcore and know their shit

Hmmm... Trained security personnel shooting a suspicious bag? I wouldn't want to go shooting a suspicious bag incase it contained something which could explode and turn me into a new wall mounting...

It's always fascinating to hear more about the Polynesian culture, it has an almost Zen serenity to it

Exactly. I stand by my previous comment that it would not be acceptable conduct from a 'trusted dealer', but, D4M is not a dealer (that's not to say that he's not trustworthy, because he is. Very) But. What a regular dealer might be able to replace with parts, he might not, which is why his terms of business are very clear. This is not a case of 'here comes the back up', and with any other actual dealer, I would say it was unacceptable. But. When someone is so clear and specific about what they will or will not guarantee, it is a classic example of 'choose your dealer, then choose your watch'. Best of luck with getting a satisfactory resolution

+1 I couldn't say it any better myself

No problem at all

I'd hoped to get a new DJ for christmas, but it never got ordered... Oh well

Dang, that looks good

Welcome to the party, always good to see a new UK member joining the ranks After trying on a rep 111, I doubt you'll be bothered about getting a gen, just with getting some new straps for it The best advice I can give, is to order some 24mm PAM springbars off eBay. It makes changing straps a piece of cake, and also completely side-steps the issue of lug threads stripping in time, or being stripped on arrival (it happens) as with springbars, it's just not an issue

Oooohh yeah, that is looking nice

I'd have to vote for my TimeTwin RobbieG's photos of his UN MMD

It hasn't happened yet, and honestly can't see it happening for me, but it's always nice to see others being inspired

That's quite a story, and a fantastic example of how people can come together regardless of ethnic/racial societies That's always inspiring to hear about

I remember reading that he was from the islands, and that his father, Al Dacascos was a well known Sifu, so I just wondered if you might have ever crossed paths Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa on the other hand, I did not know had the Hawaii connection, but definitely an actor who's work I have enjoyed over the years, so thanks for sharing

I agree, Andy, a circled T is pretty redundant Over all though, I have to say, I do love customization

Lani, I was just wondering, what with your connections and fitness experience, I was wondering if you've ever met Mark Dacascos?

All my PAMs bar one, were from WatchEden. I only ever had a problem with one, which had a problem with a power reserve, but that was immediately replaced without fuss or argument. All the others, were top notch

Only one possible candidate, and that's Lani, the Atlas of our community

It's the only way to learn, stick with it

Have you tried tweaking the side of the latch with pliars? If the ball-bearing is definitely the problem, then it's going to need a new clasp. Best of luck getting things resolved Yes, many of the DSSDs lately have been showing flaws of some kind, but a safety latch which will not stay closed is something which any decent QC check would have revealed. It's totally unacceptable for a 'trusted dealer' to take that attitude with a customer If they refuse to help you, you should name them publicly.

There's still snow, and I'm still wearing this

I figured best to wrap up and stay warm, than get cold and try and warm up later Thanks indeed It's hard to believe that 12 months ago we were organizing the wedding

I just came across this article online. Interesting reading...

I like Enoch's response I would have to disagree with his opinion
