That looks awesome I'm definitley going to have to build one Aaarrrrgh, I don't have the cash to do it

Absolutley awesome work I'm already looking forward to seeing your next project

No problem, when you're right, you're right One I wish I hadn't posed, as now I think I'm going to have to build one, but don't have the spare cash to do so, so it'll be something which is going to keep bugging me

That is also true. On saphire, a droplet can still roll off, but, a single droplet will, as you say, keep a tight, round shape, where the mineral glass, it will spread out. However, that requires access to water, so not the easiest 'street test' to carry out

Wow, do you really think so? I felt that Brosnan played Bond as written by Fleming, with the full range of emotion that Bond showed in the novels. Yes, Bond could be cold in the books, but not all the time... To focus solely on that characteristic would be to miss the others. Don't get me wrong, I really liked how Craig played the part, I just didn't think his appearance matched that which Fleming wrote.

Ahh, yes, you're quite right there. In daylight, the black/sword is definately the winner. I wonder how a Planet Ocean would look with sword hands...

Man, I'll be sorry to see you go, but you must do what you feel is right for you and your family. Best of luck with everything

I'd guess 11:32

How good is your ear? If you tap the crystal with the very tip of a fingernail (no finger, just nail), you'll be able to hear the diffrence. Saphire will make a very clear, high, 'tink'. Other materials, will make a dull 'thunk'. Once you've heard the two sounds, you'll easily be able to identify one, even without the other As for is it a good buy... Well, if you like how it looks, it meets your requirements in terms of form and function, and you're happy with the price, then yes

Well, possibly a U-Boat, but I don't have any first hand experience of those Other than that, you're quite right. They're about as functional as one could want When I first got into reps, from Subs and SMPs, I didn't understand how someone could wear a PAM. Now, it's an effort for me to wear anything else

Couldn't've said it better myself, and that's precicely how I feel about watches It's not about the brand name on the dial, it's about how well it fulfills its 'designated duty', and how functional it is For me, my prime concern is being able to tell the time quickly, and in the dark, while I'm not wearing my glasses. That means large dial, and luminous hands and markers. The Planet Ocean fulfills that requirement, but, I must admit, PAMs do it better... Although I know the dial of the Nautilus is smaller than PAMs, I have a feeling, given the size and shape of the hands, that it would be 'clear enough', and that I'd find it an easy watch to use. Key word there: use. If I can't use a watch, it's no good to me...

Sounds like a plan

Today, I'm wearing a neglected old friend, who, for the better part of a year (at least 10 months) has served pretty much as a paper weight. But, once back on the wrist long enough to overcome the urges of PAMophilia, it's like an old pair of comfortable shoes

It's funny you find the skeleton hands not as visible as sub hands, as I find the complete opposite Particularly, at night, as there is more lume down the sides than there is on a sub's hands On Topic, Personally I'd say the Planet Ocean is a slightly nicer watch than the SMP, but, on rubber, the .45 can be a bit tricky to get under a shirt cuff, so if that is a consideration, the SMP would go better with sleeves (as was the case with Casino Royale )

Looks gen to me

If they're that worried, it probably was a fake yacht

That's good to hear, I hope the punishment will be suitably severe Behaviour like that deserves serious jail-time (as other more fitting punishments would probably not be allowed...)

WTF is this shit all about?! Those slags need to suffer. Badly

Captain America certainly seems to have a rational grasp of the situation. I wouldn't go so far as to think they may be a member here, but, they're certainly at least prepared to think about things from the 'other' perspective

Oh I knew they were out there already Well, I don't think I'd be able to get over to to the US to do the con circuit, but, I'm sure some other opportunity will present itself Washed up or otherwise, one can never have too many celebrity friends

AAaaaaaarrrrrgghhhhH!!!! All this time and not a flare up of my PlanetOceanitis until now!!!!! *Rips PAM from wrist*

Thanks, amigo, and, once more, thanks for the hand. It might have only been a small component, but, it has made a huge difference to the watch, so I quite literally could not have done it without you You're absolutely right, the watch now appears complete, and the result of the change is incredible Thanks, I knew I was taking a chance with doing it without proper tools, but I figured that was half the fun I have got a PAM project in mind, but, what with finances as they are, it's not something I'd be able to justify doing for quite a while, but, at least I know that I can do it Thanks again

Indeed, there are folks about like that. As far as I'm concerned, as long as they're happy, and not harming anyone else, I don't have a problem with them, but, I certainly wouldn't want to be one of them, as I've heard a few, well, not 'unpleasant' things said about them by actors, but, let's just say the actors don't always share the enthusiasm of the fans over their 'devotion' to the subject I think the actor with the best attitude towards such fans, is Wil Wheaton. I've read blogs where he's reminded other actors that it is those 'freaks' who put them where they are, and without them, they'd have nothing. A very smart, very humble and down to earth guy. As I said above, I draw the line at costume parties, although I'm sure the cons are great fun

Cool, I wasn't too sure, as I realize the photos are pretty dark I like the sound of the project, I'm sure it'll look awesome, and thanks, he was a good little cat, but still around in spirit
