I guess gen is always the way to go in terms of precision and perfection to the gen Interesting thought about it getting discontinued though... I think there'll always be a demand for the SMPs, not only because of the Bond connection, but because it's just such a damn nice watch

But that's not really easy to aquire, is it Maybe I should re-phrase my previous comment to "I believe all currently available are slightly off..."

Does the watch tell the time? If yes, what does it matter if the movement is Swiss or Asian? I've never had a problem with an Asian movement which I hadn't caused myself As for the HE valve, I believe they all are slightly off... Such is the nature of the game

Do you have a problem with Tony's watches?

I can't believe I missed this till now Absolutely awesome watch, M, it looks fantastic The straps really complement the dial

Ahh... Larger springbars is starting to ring a bell Thanks for pointing that out, I stand corrected

Thanks, bro, I had a feeling it was restricted solely to the 20mm strap/lug space rather than the full 22mm variety, but I haven't read anything about anyone fitting that particular strap to the UPO, so didn't want to rule out the possibility I was wrong

I don't think you'll have any prolems fitting that to a UPO. As far as I know, the issue with the rubber straps with the pegs (and the hole in the case) was relating to 20mm Seamaster straps being 'forcefit' into a PO case with a 20mm lug space, rather than the correct 22mm lug space (and 22mm strap width) which the PO 45 should have. If anyone else knows different, I'll be happy to be proven wrong

I can't take the credit for that toast, it was first delivered by James Belushi in the movie Filofax (also released as Taking Care of Business) Awesome movie, awesome line, and awesome reaction from Gates McFadden's character

I'm a few hours north Depending on the date, I might be able to make a GTG, as I'm going to Spain early in October

Here's to the Cubs winning the World Series, and big tits!!

I'm trying to get over my bout of PlanetOceanitis by indulging in some manly PAMophilia

Peace be upon you, and your family, brother

MY EYES!!!!!!!

Awesome watch I wouldn't buy one though...

Fantastic Thanks for sharing the story

Quick Summary... Thus far, the most popular choices are: 1 3 6 7 11 13

No problem, amigo, thanks for the feedback

Personally, I would choose to keep: 3 6 7 10 11 13

Hi there Just taking things a day at a time However, I believe progress is being made

Thanks T, that really means a lot I have to admit. If it wasn't identified as Britney, I don't think I'd've guessed... Here's hoping it raises a good sum

I don't have a car, but, I do have a UV torch... I've found that gives the best charge to the lume

Don't let the size of the Planet Ocean put you off. I admit, if you go into an AD, and try the 45 on after wearing your SMP, then yes, it will look huge. But. Go into an AD without having had a watch on for a few hours and try one on, and you won't be comparing it to a smaller watch, you'll just be judging it on it's merits. As long as the tips of the lugs aren't hanging over the sides of your wrist (at the same time ) the watch isn't too big It's worth going, even if just to try one on so you'll know one way or the other The first time I tried on a 45 Planet Ocean, I'd taken off my Daytona, and my wife thought it was too big by comparison. When I finally ordered the 45 and put it on (without anything else as a comparison) she didn't think it was too big at all

Thanks, bro, it was the only thing I could think of Kind of the opposite of 'bench testing', under controlled conditions, this is the 'street testing' for out 'in the wild' where the usual tricks (water drop test etc) just don't work

That guy really needs to wind up on the end of some rough justice. What a POS.
