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.

Which website? I can't see one in your post?

Ok then Mike. As Kenny Everett's General Cheeseburger once said "We'll round 'em up, put 'em in a field and bomb the bastards" http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hnOHPZ51hAc Happy to say that the French seem to be on the case this morning :)

That's a bugger There are plenty of cheap crystal protectors on eBay for only a few $. Maybe get one and try again?

I agree with what you're saying wholeheartedly. However, Christianity stopped (in general) trying to force people to convert hundreds of years ago. It seems that these Muslims, who kill 'infidels' in the name of Islam, are somewhat behind the times.

Nice Snoopy! Omega day for me too.

A small proportion of the worlds Muslims are evil, of that there is no doubt. In the same way that a small proportion of the worlds Christians, Hindus, Buddists etc are evil. I know some very nice Muslims and have lived near some nasty evil ones, ones who were part of the London bombings around 10 years ago. I didn't know it at the time unfortunately, otherwise things would have turned out very different: I'd probably be doing time for murder but at least dozens of people would have been saved.

+1, buy the seller first. If possible check their sales history and pay with a credit card. Once you receive it get it checked by a local specialist.

Sorry to thread crap in the Breitling area, but the best car clock has to be this..... Singer Porsche 964

Does it have a built in winder that rotates the watch when the engine is off I wonder?

Smelly

I think I've found someone who can edge an strap. So it may have solved my problem!
