His low feedback score would keep me well away.................well that and the fact that I can't afford to spend that kind of money Ken

The pre 2000 dials were in line with the 9 and the 3, so that would make these dials correct. However I'm not saying this is gen, I'm not good enough to make that call. Ken

I have only just logged on Oliver so I still have a lot of reading to do, if there is something that needs my attention please send me a link. Thanks Ken

@Everyone Dealer review is just that, if Nias post's that he had a negative expierence with Luckyyy, that is his right. Please respect this Ken Edit to add; Bricky everyone gets a clean slate here, however we wont let the same sort crap that went on over at old RWG happen here.

Nias you may go to Dealer review and post a review, as long as it is written in a review style and not with intent to cause a flame war I will protect your right to do so. Ken

Ok Nias heres the deal, you slip up in the nice department and I'm going to kick your butt. I tell you this in the open because you have already let a 'soup Nazi' slip. Thank you Ken

Hey it took you a while to get here Welcome to the new RWG Ken

Like I said sorry for getting your hopes up Ken

Giovanni(47), benc999(30), wolf16b(27), Rolexfinder(27), Bruce Clausen(2), By-Tor(26) Happy Birthday Guy's, wishing you all the best Ken

Look how much time was spent "answering" your question. I promise you gave more hours of pleasure to RWG members on one loop than they have had in a long time. We hope you will hang around, develop some knowledge and pile in when the next question of this nature comes around. For future reference, I learned this the hard way, no matter how obscure the question always use the search function first. I have been on this forum for only a couple of months and the amount of information I have picked up is extraordinary. 2000 views in 48 hours............this is astounding your thread wiil be passed on to future generations of rwg you never actually own a thin red line.........you merely look after it for the next generation blazer you are FAMOUS marcober I'm not certain but I think the red line has something to do with polarity, i.e. n/s/e/w offshore QUOTE (johnnyboy @ Jun 5 2005, 12:01 AM) blazer you are FAMOUS I think blazer may well be Jetmid ...reincarnated...! Blazer- what jet do you have? jonthebhoy Gone a week and it looks like I missed the party of all parties!!!! Ho hum! This thread slayed me. Going for a lie down now. @ Blazer - do not...I repeat do not take it to heart. With this thread you have very much earned the right to be here. kenberg Sorry I'm confused do you guy's mean the thin red line on Submariner's or the thin red line on Daytona's?????????? jjajh @Blazer Thanks for giving us the opportunity to have some harmless fun. I hope you take it in the spirit of comraderie and know that you are now part of the inner circle and can no longer be called a noobie or newbie or newbee. You also have a special 'get out of jail card' with the mods but use it wisely grinbo Just cant believe I missed this one! Funny or what ROFLMAO repmaniac We REALLY needed some (harmless) comic relief.....and we got it!! iblake I think we are to be commended for how good we are a bullshitting. Never shit a shitter Good work team Have a nice day, -Blake™ ciaramita How do posts go from a simple question to an 11 page ramblefest. robertk I just got tracking for my TRL from Paul. Can't wait! iblake QUOTE (robertk @ Jun 4 2005, 07:25 PM) I just got tracking for my TRL from Paul. Can't wait! Haha, way ahead of you. I ordered my TRL a week ago! I've actually been tracking the history of the TRL for a long time and was glad to hear three weeks ago when they finally arrived here at RWG. I guess its just a happy coincidence that this thread started cause now EVERYBODY is going to want one. I guess we're just lucky we go ours first, robert. mikeandcompany QUOTE (johnnyboy @ Jun 3 2005, 10:43 PM) jjajh, unfortunately, until recently, the formulation of thin red lines was necessarily only perturbative in nature where the Feynman diagrams correspond to surfaces. As is also the case for many quantum field theories, this perturbation expansion is only asymptotic, so that the theory was at best incomplete. There is also no a priori reason to assume that the string coupling constant, which controls the expansion in terms of surfaces, is small. Furthermore, there seemed to be five independent perturbative thin red lines, that differed dramatically in their basic properties, such as world-sheet geometry, gauge groups and supersymmetries. However, in the last two years we have witnessed dramatic developments bringing for the first time nonperturbative questions into reach. In a confluence of a wide variety of ideas involving red lines, solitons and nonlinear symmetries, many of them dating back to the 70s and 80s, the structure, internal consistency and beauty of thin red lines has greatly improved. We have now a much better and clearer picture what the lines are about. Crucial in all this has been the concept of line duality. In fact, duality has been a powerful idea in physics for a long time, both in statistical mechanics and field theory. The transformation to a dual set of variables can translate a difficult question (such as strong-coupling behaviour) into a much more accessible one (weak-coupling behaviour). red line duality is the statement that all five diffferent perturbative lines are related in such a fashion and are just expansions of one single unified line around different backgrounds. In many respects duality can be used as an organizing principle. In a collective effort during the last two years a mass of evidence for these proposed dualities has been found. In particular the so-called S-dualities that relate strong and weak couplings, can be used to probe the nature of quantum gravity at strong coupling, a unicum in history. One of the consequences of all this has been the realisation that thin red line theory does not only include strings but also various higher dimensional objects, known as super thin red lines. After compactification these solitonic objects can be thought of as black holes in the four-dimensional world. In particular the description of these lines as exact red line solitons. The thin red line is simply a place in space-time where the line can begin or end. The resulting open red lines lead to world-volume theories for these super lines that involve nonabelian line theories. This allows us to translate actual nonperturbative computations, such as the determination of soliton spectra, into the language of the dynamics of nonabelian red line theories. Vice versa thin red line theory can be used to derive new exact results in (supersymmetric) line theories, such as the mysterious dualities of Seiberg. It also has brought us a dramatically different outlook on the space-time singularities, where on short distances the space-time coordinates become non-commuting matrices. Yes all very fine except for the curvurture of the universe which indeed from the inner rim perspective on the approach to finite infinites redefines thin red lines into thick green circles perceived only by observers from the outer rim. Not to say that the spheric theory doesn't hold it's weight but given xy=(r/p+3xz2)xsum of thin red line +sphere divided by the plane, would you not agree that two parallel thin red lines must intersect at infinity. Hence the necessity for 0. Indeed, I ask the honorable membership of RWG, how many times can half the width of a thin red line be divided into its whole? iblake QUOTE (mikeandcompany @ Jun 4 2005, 08:28 PM) how many times can half the width of a thin red line be divided into its whole? An infinite number of times... spaghettiman moreover, to frame this discussion in the context of the mahayana world view, I emplore you, what is the sound of one thin red line clapping? asymtopes.... moving closer to the axis....closer to perfection....closer to zero? closer to the present... need for zero.... no need when zero is a whole in and of itself... a need to define the unmoved mover to escape relativism....makes your syllogism whole....beyond mechanical, truth with T otherwise, no thin red morality... johnnyboy mikeandcompany, Relativity views space-time as a continuum; that is time becomes another dimension of space, making space four-dimensional. This is really common sense-we know that it takes time to move through the physical dimensions of space. (thin length, red width, and line heigth) Time is a property of space that is distinct from yet closely related to the other three. (Althought we know we can move through space in any direction, we can only move forward in time, at least until wormholes in THE THIN RED LINES are discovered.) Curvature of space-time can be more difficult to understand. Although the rubber sheet model gives a picture of how it happens, one cannot easily picture the so-called nothingness of space being curved or a non-physical property like time being warped. But RED LINE relativity (a theory which has yet to be disproved) predicts this curvature and uses gravity as proof of it. In fact, red line relativity predicts singularities, points in space-time where the curvature reaches infinity. Singularities are the centers of black holes, points of gravity so strong that nothing, not even thin red lines, can escape. According to relativity, the curvature of space-time is gravity, and this raises an intersting paradox: the amount of curvature is governed by the distribution of matter and energy in the universe, but this distribution is determined by the curvature of space-time. Thinking back to the thin red line model, this becomes an obvious truth. A large object, such as a shot put, would cause a large indentation that would cause a marble to roll through the thin red line. Or, if an area of rubber sheet space contained only small objects, several marbles might roll together to form an area of 'thin red line gravity', which would in turn attract more thin red line objects. Besides creating the all-important force of gravity, space-time red line curvature also makes a major dent (no pun intended) in one of our most common beliefs from geometry and family vacations: in curved space-time, a straight thin red line is NOT always the shortest distance between two points. But that's a different topic. In order to move through the physical dimensions of space, one must also move through time. time surrounds the axes, and although the thin red lines could be extended so that we could move in any physical direction, we do not extend them because we do not know how to move backwards in time Nanuq @Johnnyboy, Back in time? Don't watches indicate time? And you just have to turn the watch over to see its back... Can this be a breakthrough??!! johnnyboy QUOTE (Nanuq @ Jun 4 2005, 11:48 PM) @Johnnyboy, Back in time? Don't watches indicate time? And you just have to turn the watch over to see its back... you could..........or you could drop it, fry it, heat it up, throw it, dunk it, bulldoze it,boil it and then take pictures to freeze time Horrado You guys have it ALL wrong. I'm an Ex-Nebraska Cornhusker and a TRL means a bad ballclub. ryyannon QUOTE: Horrado: "You guys have it ALL wrong. I'm an Ex-Nebraska Cornhusker and a TRL means a bad ballclub." Just a moment there, you young whippersnapper of a noobie! If you had done your homework on this forum, you would have understood THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS that johnnyboy - you can see him there, sitting day and night on his verandah, contemplating the universe for us - has been endeavoring to explain with his usual talent for making the unfathomable as familiar as one's own big toe (example): "Furthermore, there seemed to be five independent perturbative thin red lines, that differed dramatically in their basic properties, such as world-sheet geometry, gauge groups and supersymmetries. (I just don't know how i'd cope if it weren't for you, johnnyboy...) As for you, Horrado, let's see a little more respect: people like johnnyboy were winding their watches and wrestling with thin red-headed babes...err.. thin red lines before you could even tell time! Horrado With all due respect......Johnnyboy has his opinion and I have mine. ryyannon "With all due respect......Johnnyboy has his opinion and I have mine." (sighs): Horrado, do you see anything in johnnyboy's explanations that expressly CONTRADICTS the notion that TRLs, under certain circumstances, can also signify rotten Nebraska ballclubs? Have you fully understood the implications of johnnyboy's: "Thinking back to the thin red line model, this becomes an obvious truth. A large object, such as a shot put, would cause a large indentation that would cause a marble to roll through the thin red line." or not? Come on man, turn on the lights in there! kenberg QUOTE (Horrado @ Jun 5 2005, 12:36 AM) You guys have it ALL wrong. I'm an Ex-Nebraska Cornhusker and a TRL means a bad ballclub. Bad ballclub?

I think we have enough explanatons of what the THIN RED LINE really means, thanx to our knowledgeable members. With 176 replies and a astonishing 2584 hits, I am pretty sure that I broke some kind of record in the RWG history. Thank you all, I couldnt do it without you guys! Maybe I should start a official TRL charity. ryyannon

Yeah sorry Ralphy when I commented I mistook for being a GST. However the GST is a beautiful rep and damn close to the same looks as the Spitfire so you may want to check it out Ken

Well you took your time getting here Welcome Ken

Yes we will still aim to make this home for all the old RWG members, but we also strive to make it better. Welcome Ken

Ok first up welcome to the new RWG Now forget the tracking it comes when it comes and that is odten before the tracking registers. Ok big point.....please tell me you haven't got 10 watches coming in the same package. If so get your lucky rabbits foot out. Ken

And I see you like our new smileys too Ken

Hang on is that a silicon leak I see on the right one .................................

Whoa your the one with the stuffed movement, we mixed it up on the list.............ok I mixed it up Ken Edit to add..............fixed

No one needs to clean the gene pool eventually they all take care of themselves Ken

Hail, Hail, the gangs all here........................ Welcome back Rob Makes the whole place feel a little more like home Ken

Yeah 18ct in general terms is to soft for watches and bracelets, I know that it is used in some cases as well as 24ct but the wear is not good. Ken

I think it is fair to say that (in Precious Times case at least) this puts an end to any speculation over his solid gold watches. Thank you PT Ken

Which sunny little red dot would this be? Welcome to RWG Ken

G'day mate what took you so long Welcome Ken
