C'mon gang we have even sold half the tickets yet, look at the prizes again that a Super Rep as first prize and tickets are only 2 bucks each! Lets see a little action around here! Ken

In 1986, Mike Hogan was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from North-western University . On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mike approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Mike worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mike stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly turned, and walked away. Mike never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty years later, Mike was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Mike and his son Owen were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mike, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mike couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Mike summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mike's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Probably wasn't the same elephant. Ken

Personally I have waited over two Months for watches to arrive in Aus on a number of occasions, I think a Month shouldn't faze anyone in this hobby. Ken

As it does seem a lot of guys are not following this wonderful journey of yours after our current raffle has finished we will set up an official Muttsta donation collection and promote you to high heaven. Ken

Maxse he is Polish. Ken

J I will let you know in about 4hrs time Ken

It's a beautiful thing you do my friend, the world needs more like you. Ken

Ya know I would be very bloody worried if my car sounded like that Ken

J I like what ryy has suggested but if they don't work out let me know and I will ask my contacts in China to source it for you. Ken

Yeah I know....................I've tried Ken

Oh I love it......the USD speaks for everyone.............The Aussie dollar has recently hit a five year high Ken

It's also a pity you didn't take closer pic's so we could see the dial in detail, however it looks a very fine job indeed Ken

I think that regardless of if we accept the Super rep prices or not what we really need to be on guard about is that all the base reps don't start creeping up in price. I have always looked at the rep market as a two tiered system, a seller can sell here in a nice cosy, safe atmosphere or they can go outside and make big money but take the risks that come with it, I really hate to say this but could the Super Reps be an attempt to start generating outside revenue at inside conditions? Ken

Ok I'm the last guy to be able to give you info on this but I have seen other cases where the members have pointed someone in the same position as yours towards the online antique auction sites. I also remember that member Omni knew of a few places to check into these watches. Ken

That was very good CS but I do believe Ethan may have been thinking more of Strauss. Ken

Well yeah it's funny but gee it's old And no TT I will not blow you Ken

Try staining with tea or coffee. Ken

Just over 200 tickets gone so far, personally I don't think that is so great, I mean hey here's your chance to get one of these IWC Costeau's for next to nix.............if I was allowed to buy I would buy at least 20 tickets at a pop..........last time I did that I won an Ultimate PO! Be in it to win it folks. Ken

Can someone please start a list of exactly how much money and goods Finepic's is holding so we in Admin can have a clearer picture of how bad this is. Ken

Yes I'm sure you realise there are many of us following you even if only a few of us comment. Ken

Damn right I set a new record the other night, 1min 25sec Ken

*cough*.............I'll sell you one for 200 bucks..............*cough* Ken

That's not a meet, you guy's are buddies already, still nice watches Ken

Ken

As above stay away......there wouldn't be any forums as that suggests people actually trying as these offers that get sent to us on a daily basis and if someone is stupid enough to do that then maybe we didn't need them muddying the gene pool anyway. Ken
