  1. Having small wrists I've had to take 3 links or so out of every bracelet on every watch I bought. And since I mainly collect omegas, PO included, lets just say. Its very easy. All you need is one of these:

    to get the pin partially ejected, then you can use a pair of needle-nose pliers to pull the pin out the rest of the way.

    You can push it back in most of the by hand, but you'll need to use something like a small nylon tipped jewelry hammer to firmly seat the remaining piece of pin. Takes about 5 minutes to size a PO bracelet.

  2. i had a mex strat , sounds just as nice as the usa models B)

    Nice EVH solo there. I guess my luv for the strat dates me back a bit. I do the old 60s surf sound or blues... With a few pedals. my whammy, and some reverb I can recreate the 60s surf wang or jump to a distorted crunch. I guess I'm like all the old rockers though, I'm in my acoustic stage of life and play mostly fignerstyle... :rolleyes:

  3. Man, I love this place. That is one sexy strat. US or Mexican?

    Its a custom job I had built. Neck is off an old mexistrat I used to have, and loved the feel so I kept it. I bought a beat up 70s US body and restored it to the Clapton vintage cream white. Installed a Lace gold in the front and red at the bridge. That's a Fender Noiseless Vintage Single Coil in the middle.

    Altogether it is quiet as a church mouse,....until cranked...then it screams.

  4. In the US the pub price runs from $2 to $3 for a standard bottle of beer, $6-$7 for a six pack of bottles in the stores. The $7.50 is the marked up price at the sports stadium during baseball, football, or other professional sports games.

  5. (OH! I didn't see you had posted this here too, Catchthecat. Here is my reply from RWI) :)

    I LOVE THE WATCH! I should just have bought my dad this one, rather than the two Omega 007 SEs I got, which arrived DOA. Sniff. Thanks for the effort, Catchthecat! By the way, can one of you baseball-loving people do this type of spread one day?

    I don't know what camera that Risti guy used, but my God, I felt I was batting alongside Richie Weeks!!

    Oya, guess I'm lucky, my 007 rep has been ticking away for a year under heavy wear. I hang at TZ, pmwf, and about every other gen and rep forum there is. I saw that pictorial on the link and at first I thought I was going to the Seiko-Citizen trading forum which is also hosted at network54. I have decent 7 mp digital with all the SLR adjustments that can do those photos but I had only had my tiny pocket camera on this recent outing.

  6. I first thought the guy was about to take a pi$$. :D

    I sure hope the hell that was his finger sticking out as he was fishing for my change.... :p

    @Stephan compared to a fine Belgian beer our good ole Bud probably tastes like pee....

    @thedude... amen brother!

  7. i suspect someone is out to make trouble for all dealers here... but i got no idea who and have no names in my mind... but recent event shows something... we are being WATCH..

    Probably people with names like R*lex...and other unmentionables who go on the rampage from time to time trying to squash the rep world.
