TeeJay

Hi Fred, Welcome to the party With the greatest of respect, people have suffered deals at DSN than ran into thousands of dollars (on individual deals, not accumulative value all together). I'm happy to hear that your deal went through smoothly, but, please understand, that there are others who have been seriously displeased with their deals with DSN, not only for some time now, but with alarming frequency. As above, pics of the stuff would be great

Watches don't tell Chuck Norris the time. Watches tell the time Chuck Norris tells them to

Pics as promised. Sorry they're a bit quick and dirty... (first proper pics I think I've posted of my 104... )

That's for sure, and one of the great things about PAMs. Several different straps, can make a single watch suitable for many different wardrobes or occasions. If you plan frequent strap changes, it might be worth investing in a set of River's springbars. When in place, they look like the stock screwbars, but are easy to swap, and won't strip the threads I'll try and get some pics of my 104 on nylon posted up later

+1 I wore my 104 on another of Narikaa's nylon straps for most of the weekend, and, not only is it comfortable, it does not detract from the appearance of the watch. Another good option is the rubber dive straps

It's also worth the extra cash, knowing that EuroTimez does QC on the watches

Dude, have another look at the base of the crown in both pics . In the top picture, it is pretty much inline with the base of the case. In the bottom picture, it's inline with the back of the edge of the caseback... That's quite a difference in allignment...

Absolutley awesome display I have to admit, I would agree with Corgi's 'shrine' comment (in terms of security) but, either way, that's a truly awesome display, and clearly something which you've taken a long time to build up

That would be my one concern as well, or I would likely be interested in a phantom PAM for my collection, but, as you say, how easy would it be to read in daylight... Still an awesome project though

What a truly awesome gift

No problem

I would respectfully disagree, as BB guns do not have the same range or capability (modes of fire and handling) as real steel. While target shooting is target shooting, to suggest that target shooting with a BB gun is the same as target shooting with real steel, is to suggest that drinking diet cola is the same as drinking regular, or that alcohol-free lager is like drinking regular lager, or that de-cafinated coffee is like regular coffee, etc etc. Yes, the basic principle is the same, but, it is still 'missing a key ingredient'. It's easier for you to say you no longer want to own or use guns, when you have had the ability to do so. Thanks to a mentally unhinged paedophile tipping public opinion, I've never had that privelage...

I thought my comment to the OP was very constructive... If you mean my report, I believe that the person made a rather racist trolling post on the other RWG, and didn't want them to begin such unpleasant behaviour here... One too many? Nonsense, time for another, more like

Beautiful watch, and a beautiful lady. Now, if only I could decorate her with some tattoos... Hope you're having a good weekend

Personally, no, I wouldn't buy the watch, because it would not meet the criteria I require in a watch... Large hands... Large indices... Having seen a watch today (based on a U-Boat watch) with a small date window, I would agree with the need for a cyclops, but internal, like on PAMs, rather than external, as on Rolexes... I'm not too keen on the crown either... I think it might be hard to operate... Other than that, awesome advert One suggestion I'd make about that, would be to replace the girl (unless your advert is aimed at the Asian Market) Nice to see another graphics designer on the forum

A phantom radiomir... Let me think... DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will look absolutely awesome

There's a key word in that sentance amigo: 'was' Given the issues Uncle Jay had, I don't think there are many who would now feel comfortable using DSN as a source for a whole watch. Parts, maybe, but not a watch...

I'm good thanks, amigo Life's been pretty busy, but other than that, all's well, thanks How're things with you?

The Z Machine is a rather nifty gizmo. The thing that was of interest, was the way in which it (or rather Z field compression) was casually mentioned by Titor. Indeed, everyone knows what wireless internet is now, but, when the discussions first took place, the actual term used was 'node' (which suggests a kind of 'broadcast wifi', which is only now becoming a technical possibility. It's things like that that make me conclude Titor was either a very bored 'insider', who knew the industry, and made a few educated guesses about the state of the world, or, were the legitimate comments of a time traveller... Interesting stuff, even if just as entertainment

Sounds like a plan To be honest, this kind of stuff doesn't phase or surprise me, as having read the John Titor 'predictions', even if they were fake, I consider them as a 'rough guide to the future' (especially as a few things, such as wireless internet, and the Z Machine, have come to pass since the original mention of them... )

When it comes to collectors, there're several different breeds, and, within those breeds, many different sub-species. There're people who collect solely for the posibility of value appreciation, while others do it solely for the love of the item. Some, that have many different collections, others, specialize in just one thing. There're people who buy and sell daily, while others, hold onto items for life. Some that display their collections proudly, and others, who lock their aquisitions away in a vault, never to be seen again. - Words by Brad Armstrong - As read by jessica drake

Oh they have the stones to do it, alright. Wether they have working equipment to do it is another matter To be honest, my only issue with this situation, is America's interest. I don't have an issue with what the Russian millitary are doing. All this crap on the news about how there are still Russian troops in place despite a cease fire only signed a few days ago, with the Russians claiming they are simply 'maintaining order' until the native local militia can pick up the slack... And what? Is that not precicely what is going on with Coalition Forces in Baghdad? Maybe they ought to think about pulling out of the region... Afterall, people in glass houses, and what not

I rather like this combo: 113, with a Ferrari strap, modified by fitting a stock PAM deployant... Since taking the photos, I've polished the clasp so it is a closer match to the case.

Springbars are awesome They make strap changes easy, and, even if a lug has stripped, it doesn't matter, as the spring bar will still work I have only had one bar 'explode', and that was more a case of I pulled the end out myself, as, I'd put them in my 26mm dive strap, then found it nearly impossible to remove. 24mm dive strap doesn't have the same problem, but, with the 26mm, I'd recommend ordering a seperate set just for that strap, to be considered as a permanant modification to the strap, rather than a removeable and interchangeable springbar. Okay, so they won't work with an SS bracelet, but, with everything else, it's green lights all the way

My 127 took a little getting used to, but I do really like it. Not sure why, but for some reason, I always feel the numerals 'look larger' in the dark, rather than looking at it in daylight I don't think I'd wear anything larger than the 127. I really need to get mine back from being serviced...
