Welcome to the forum. You're in the right place for a 16613 rep and there are plenty of experts here to help you out. 

I'm only VIP so can't say regarding platinum membership, but it's good to pay something back to support the forum.  

PBR, why don't you jog on, back to the other side where you're welcome. Your petty snipes against Micky are not welcome here. I may even be civil to you there , there again I may not! 

If I had some spare cash I'd be there already. Usually some good deals to be had. 

lol, but have a 'few' reps already, including one of these. 

Seems I was wrong thinking that religion is the cause of the worlds problems.

As a great man once said......

See, beer can unite the world!

Who wants a beer? 

Or don't argue with idiots; they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. 

This crapped out.

So I'm now using this.

Simple but sound advice. It's such an easy mistake to make and then you're scrabbling round on the floor looking for small screws etc. Well said GenTLe

Great idea!

I have several of the 42mm and both these and the 44mm are super reps. I'm not in the market for  one so can't say if these are available. But, sending Andrew an email will confirm either way. If you do get one you won't be disappointed. 

Cool watch and I'd say good value for money. I hope your wife enjoys it. Maybe post a wristie. 

Religious wars have been going on for thousands of years. Whilst we in the West mention the crusades, there have been many many more  Jihads than crusades.

Where I live there is a public house, or bar if you prefer, that is called the Turks Head. A strange name for a pub in the far South West of England you may think. However, it is so named as Moors, or Turks as they were called at the time, would sail to the area capturing unsuspecting local fishermen and selling them as slaves. If these 'Turks' were caught they were beheaded. And we now have a nice pub to drink in.

I'm not wanting to replace the movement as it's the original with the watch. Hopefully just a light service will get it running sweet again. Time will tell as for now it's on the back burner. 

Yes, but they have oil. We in the West tend to overlook such complications. 

lol is that a quote from Frank Herbert's Dune?

Exactly. Just one problem. Oil. I don't see anyone complaining about North Korea and they're not exactly a model of Western democracy. Oops have I given the game away?  

Hope it's not the humidity being a diver and all that lol. I can survive a few weeks without it no problem. I know the UK is only 2 hours ahead and my maths isn't that bad.*

*normal beer disclaimer applies!

Dusted of the NSD today. Always forget how good it is. 

My gen Omega Seamaster GMT has just crapped out on me. Luckily I have several reps with me, including my rep Omega Great White. Looks like another one for Micky on my return to the UK. Who says that gens are better than reps :(

Sorry Ken, but that is a poor analogy. The shootings in schools etc are generally by a single disgruntled teen with social problems. When we talk of Islamic extremists we are usually talking about well funded organisations who recruit young, easily influenced Muslims. 

Whilst I am not particularly religious, I was brought up in the UK, a Christian country. I am tolerant of all faiths and this is part of the problem. Many Muslims here (in the UK) don't want to mix and integrate with the Christian society, but will group together. They wish to convert the UK to an Islamic nation which is wrong as they are the immigrants whom should embrace British culture (I didn't say religion) but they won't. This WILL lead to massive conflict, much more than is currently happening. I don't know when, but I'm sad to say it will happen. 

Kind offer Mike

I think that this discussion is remarkably civil, considering some of the other forums that I venture onto. 

+1

Most, not all but most, of what you hear on the news is Islamist groups causing terror attacks. Not just is the western world, nut across the WHOLE world. Now that maybe because it brings in ratings, more so than a Christian terrorism act, but maybe it's because it's the truth.
