wouldn't be funny if Jessica Alba is actually a crap lay?

Okay, my father in law had a similar letter for a digital camera he bought online. He did not get the option to tell customs to shove it, as, the way the 'system' works, (or at least, how it worked in his case) is that Parcel Force pay the release fees to HMC, and then bill you (essentially, holding your goods to ransom) There was an article a while back, about a guy in the US who was charged the import duty on rep watches as if they are gens, so wound up with a huge import tax bills. If you get the option to tell customs to return the goods, do it quickly, or Parcel Force will pay the release and you could find yourself looking at a large bill... Hope it all works out, best of luck

If I remember, in the episode where Sylar is first building the watch, he tells Dr. Suresh that the movement is an old German movement, and I felt it was a case of him simply 're-casing' the old movement with whatever bits he had to hand (what the prop dept had cobbled together ) Sadly not, that's why I stopped watching it Cheerleaders and tits can only hold the interest for so long Thomas Dekker clearly saw the way the series would progress, so he jumped ship for the Sarah Connor Chronicles

I'm still wearing this, but must confess an error on my part... I did not buy this watch from Tony, as I previously posted, infact, I bought it from MickeyPadge's 'favorite' ( ) dealer, PWC. Totally slipped my mind, as so many of my PAMs have come from Tony... Sorry for the confusion

Indeed, at a guess, I'd say it's just pettiness, certainly not something I'd take to seriously.

John's review was what first opened my eyes to Omega, and ultimately, reps. A very nice and well informed guy

At the end of the day, we're all here because we love watches, and that's all that matters. I admit, I rarely comment on postings for gen watches, but that's because I wouldn't have anything to say beyond "nice watch", as, being gen, the quality and details are gauranteed, certainly not because I'm jealous of the person or their watch At the end of the day, if someone wants to blow their cash on a single gen rather than several reps, that's up to them Don't let it get you down, K, you're contributions here are beyond question

I'm sure he'll be able to trade his Sub for a prison-made shank Maybe I should offer to design him a 'breakout tattoo' I would say how bad this must all be on his wife, but, oh wait, that's right, he was found responsible for her death... He's getting what he's had coming for a long time now.

Absolutely awesome Just my kind of strap

I have one of those Well, I have an Asian version (with display caseback) which came from another dealer... I'd been calling it a PVD 111g, at least I now know what it's really called Dealer asside, I would say think twice before buying one (from any dealer) While mine has the best lume of any of my watches (so great for paranormal investigations), it is not a particularly versatile watch. Putting it on a black stitched, black leather strap is about as 'smart' as it gets, and, while it does look nice on honey/tan tone straps, the watch itself doesn't always go with certain clothes. Looking back, this is the watch I probably wouldn't've acquired, had I thought more closely about it at the time, but, as it was a birthday gift last year from my wife, I won't get rid of it, for sentimental reasons Best of luck with your search

Looks good That's the watch I was considering getting for all my best men for when I get married next year Today and Sunday: My favorite watch, with my favorite strap for it. My 104 from Tony, and strap from Andy

Have to admit, I'm rather liking the iPhone now I've been able to use one for an extended period Genius playlists... Literally, genius I spent the afternoon on iTunes blending a 123 track playlist into the optimal running order, so they all just flow together Then I find out, that airline companies don't like people using their phones in Aeroplane mode... To add insult to injury, the iPod shuffle doesn't support playlists, so I'll be reduced to listening to either 'straight up albums', or total shuffles.. Oh well, the iPhone has the list, which will be okay for car/train journeys and walking into town I think it's safe to say that the iPhone does everything the iClones do, just better Such as turning the phone to landscape orientation and getting a scientific calculator. Awesome Wish I'd bought one sooner

I voted "collector", due to the amount of watches in my collection, but, I don't buy watches I don't intend to wear at some point (say a dress watch, or a watch for rough wear like camping) All my watches, at the time of purchase, were bought with the intention of wear (even if only for specific activities/times) I've never bought a watch solely with the intent of it being a paperweight in my collection (even if that's how it may wind up at some point ) That said, I do then keep the watches, even if only for sentimental reasons, so I guess that makes me a collector [edit to add] Having read Ubi's comment, I would have to call myself an "accumulator" rather than a "collector"

Thanks for the replies guys, I thought best to check, as I didn't want to bake the battery by leaving it in the cradle if it would've kept drawing power :-D All the display phones I've seen have always had cradles, so I guess that should've been my clue :-D Thanks again :-) This post was made by iPhone via the home WiFi :-D

Is it okay to keep an iPhone in its docking cradle (plugged into the mains) even when it has reached a full charge? The manual didn't clarify this, and I was wondering if it would harm the battery, or if it would simply not draw power it did not need... Thanks in advance PS: Yes, I finally caved in and got one My i32 HiPhone was getting pretty 'twitchy', and wouldn't hold a charge. I figured a new battery wouldn't solve the issue of its 'twitchiness', so it was as easy to replace, so, I bought a 6 month old non 3g iPhone off the Bay. It had only ever been used in a silicone sleeve, so it is in pristine condition I just wish I'd bought one earlier, rather than faffing about with clones

And now Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush Genius Playlists are awesome

There seems to be something of a GMT flavor going on, and, continuing the theme, Cheiftang's awesome pic has inspired me to wear this... I might wear it on vacation to Spain next week... It's either that, or this...

Stunning watch

If you are holding the watch so the '6' is nearest you, wind the crown away from you. If you are fully winding the watch, but it is only lasting a few hours, you might need it regulated (or just return it for replacement) The first 111h I bought had the same problem as yours: I would wind it fully, but it would only run for a few hours. I returned it. I haven't had the problem with any other PAMs though, so I think it was just a fault with that movement Best of luck

Safe travels

Thanks for the suggestions Oiling the strap wouldn't be an issue, as the leather looks better the darker it gets Last time I went to Spain, I wore my 111h on the SS bracelet and didn't have a problem, and, although I could wear my 104 on it's SS bracelet, for some reason, I fancy keeping it on the above shown strap, as it's less 'showy' than the SS I'll try looking in the local leather stores to see what oils are available

I know that some leather straps aren't waterproof at all, and some, which would possibly be ruined by immersion in salt water, but, I was wondering about what would be okay to get wet... Afterall, back in the day, Radiomirs were worn by divers on leather straps... Would a strap like this (which is leather, glue, and stitching) be okay to get wet? (ie would the glue be affected?) I have no plans for frequent swimming on my upcoming vacation to Spain, but, don't want to have to worry about getting the watch wet...

I'll repeat the suggestion for rubber gloves (dishwashing gloves) They work
