TeeJay

Is it my imagination, or are more and more recommended collectors 'self-destructing'? Where people used to practically worship these collectors, there now seem to be frequent issues with reliability on not just one, but several collectors. Maybe it's just coincidence that these issues are occuring close together, and, as Humans are so oft to do, I'm seeing a pattern when really there is none (ie cloud gazing) Or, is it a sign that dealing on the various fora has stretched these folks beyond their capacity? Although we've never done business, or even really spoken, EuroTimez approach of total disclosure is like a breath of fresh air, to the old excuses of "Well it's a hard business and we take the risks!!!1" I'm just thinking out-loud...

All's well here, thanks, I'm even hoping to get that tie project off the ground before too long (I've had a succession of bills/expences/holidays one after the other ) Other than that, not much to report really How're things with you? If I recall, the first album I bought, was the original soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever on double LP

I can appreciate LPs, but the only way I listen to music at the moment is MP3, as my other equipment is in storage

Now that is a nice gun Classic 1911 controlls, nice looking grips, alround, an awesome piece I must admit, I do prefer the ergonomic grip of the P99, but I'll certainly look into WA as a company and see what they do Thanks

I can only speak for myself, but personally, my appreciation for Panerai is something which has developed solely as a result of my exposure to these forums. I've always liked 'divers watches', and always insisted on having a waterproof watch. As I've gotten older, my eyesight has not improved with age, and, from relatives, know that the future does not look bright. While I'm not planning on going blind before shuffling off this mortal coil, bottle-thick lenses in my glasses would not surprize me Therefore, the most important thing for me with a watch, is it must be easy to read, at a glance, and in conditions ranging from daylight, to darkened room, to at night. For me, that requires luminous hands, and large markers. Panerai watches provide that Large enough that I can easily read the time, and (for the most part) versatile enough that I can match it to my wardrobe I do agree with you here to a degree. Yes, PAMs are very similar in terms of appearance, so I agree there, but, on the flipside of that point, some of the variations, provide features which can be usefull to different people or in different circumstances. For example, the 112h is a really nice watch, but, if someone needs to know precicely what the time is (minutes and seconds) or what the date is, it would be as usefull as a chocolate teapot Yup, I'd agree with that I'd agree with that too I admit, I do have a watch specifically for rough work/hard use, but, that's only because I want to keep the others looking nice (not pristine, that has no character, but not utterly beaten up...) That said, if it came down to it, I would expect my 'daily beaters' to be able to withstand hard use without failing mechanically, I would just prefer not to get them banged up Absolutely. Nothing disgusts me more than unkempt body hair Guy's expect women to shave themselves, it's only reasonable to take similar pride in one's own appearance

Awesome guide, something folks could always find usefull Welcome to the party

Now that reminds me of the first ever PAM I bought from Tony... I had to send it back as it didn't have much in the way of a power reserve (stopped every few hours) and at the time, I thought the hands and markers should match, and that I'd need a re-lume done... Little did I know that there was a model of PAM which should look like that Wear it well

I've found that the real 'watch enthusiasts' don't really care if something is gen or rep. To them, it's a watch, and an item of interest, it's only jerks with chips on their shoulders who tend to get snotty about things, and that's only because their materialistic crutches have been successfully 'knee-capped' Folks like that generally aren't worth the effort anyway

I've sent an email to the other company, as they say they have a UK distributor, so I can always wait to see what they say. Failing that, I'll have to go for one of the plastic spring powered versions. Part of me says that I could tollerate one of the clear pistols, afterall, it would feel okay, and would be adequate for target practice, but another part of me is scheptical that I actually would like it clear, so I might go with the other one I linked to, which comes with the 'silencer' Absolutely. I think the thing which 'they' forget, is that the people who the laws are aimed at, simply ignore them or circumvent them, and it's only the law abiding who wind up facing the difficulties from them I bought my airsoft P99 about 2-3 years ago, and it really was very accurate (visually). It was also a very 'functional' pistol, in that the slide would actually lock back if an attempt was made to c0ck it while it was empty, and it had a functional de-c0cking lever. (although of course, not quite the same as emptying a magazine at a target and having it lock back of it's own accord ) Given the changes in the law, I really wish I still had it

That's my beef with such laws. Okay, sure, they need to prevent such things 'falling into the wrong hands', but what I think 'they' tend to forget, is that 'the wrong hands' will get hold of them (and real steel) regardless of any laws governtments enact... All these laws do, is penalize people with a legitimate interest in shooting

I have to admit, while I wouldn't want to get shot in the face with one, equally, I wouldn't want to try and use it to actually defend myself from someone... Excluding the aforementioned eye-shot, I think all it would do is get them more angry That said, a metal one could always be used to pistol-whip someone I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I was actually into airsoft as a sport, like people can be into paintballing, but that's just not really my thing. Having seen the law, I might have to settle for this instead One good thing which did come out of the cheapo pistol I bought, was it was came with a removeable mount with a laser pointer I'm faily sure it'll fit on the rail of another P99, so I kept it when I binned the rest of it

Equally interesting, thanks for the headsup there That said, this could prove an issue... I don't really want to go running around the woods and get shot up to prove I'm into shooting... I only want it for a bit of home target practice

I was just reading a rather thorough review of the Maruzen P99, and they test fired it with various gasses, which was good to know, as it allows for some flexibility, ie not only having to rely solely on one brand. I'm not too sure if customs would be an issue, but I have to admit, I'm pretty interested in it... I might have to send them an email I have to admit, the Umbrella Magnum would be tempting, but the P99's the only gun for me, it's grip is just so ergonomic Thanks again for the info

Thanks for the info I'm rather liking the look of this P99, what do you think?

The Umbrella Magnum is sweeeet Awesome for busting zombie ass How is the gas re-filled? Is it replaceable cartridges, or more like re-fuelling a cigarette lighter? Is green gas very costly?

That's a great help, thanks When you say French, I'm guessing the same 'J'/ 'Zha'sound, as if pronouncing 'Jean-Paul'?

How frequently do you have to change the cartridges? Also, does the gas cartridge mean that the magazine is reduced in size? I guess I could be tempted by gas, if it's not too 'high maintenance'. Up until now, I've only shot spring-powered airsoft, and found them adequate for my needs. That said, I did buy an airsoft pistol yesterday on a whim (it was only

An some of you may know, one of the things I really enjoy in life, is shooting (rifle and pistol) Due to the UK's draconian handgun laws (which I do not want to discuss here) the chances of getting my hands on any real steel, is slim to non-existant. A while back, I had a very good airsoft replica of a Walther P99, but I lost it when I moved, and would like to obtain a replacement. My criteria... As accurate to the real steel handgun as possible. If in metal, even better. Must fire 6mm BBs Must ONLY be SPRING POWERED. I don't want to be messing around with a gas pistol I'm not too worried about the price, as if the product is good, it will get years of use, and worth the price. Any suggestions or recommendations will be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance. PS No, I will NOT be standing in front of a mirror muttering "Guud evening mish munneh-penneh..."

I was wondering if anyone who may know Hungarian (or be Hungarian) might be able to help me? I've just found out that the real name of a model, who I previously only knew by the stage name of Sandy: Zsanett

A stripper's first day on the job, involves sitting in a room, studying photos of various watches. They are told "Someone wearing this type of watch, will have a load of cash to spend, pay them special attention... Someone wearing this type of watch, has no cash to spend, so not worth wasting your time on... Memorize these watch types..." Okay, I made that up, but who knows, I'm sure they're given a few pointers in spotting the high-rollers

I don't doubt it, there's little as satisfying as making something you want by hand, the way you want it (and having it turn out the way you want it ) Awesome work

Ah ha, this is the PAM I was thinking of last week, as being worn by Jason Statham. Could you tell me what model number it is, please? As for myself, I am still wearing my 104. I wasn't able to get the photos or review done yesterday as I'd hoped, but, insha'allah, they will be done at some point I've tried all my straps with it, and I have to admit, it might well be the most versatile PAM of my collection. I'm mostly wearing it on the SS Bracelet, but I did put it on a bony croc strap this evening, just for a brief change of pace... Back to SS for tomorrow though

That was me... And not in hardcore day long sessions, just a little bit here and there (or playing a musical instroment) for dexterity and a mild work out. Afterall, people undergo physiotherapy following an incapacitating injury, that involves using those parts affected, just in a very gentle way... At the end of the day, it was just a suggestion, no one has to follow it

That's one nice piece of work, bro Absolutely awesome
