I prefer photobucket, and also find its less likely to be blocked by proxy servers. don't ask me why.

Your parents must be proud!

Thats the complete polar opposite conditions from mtbking here in FL. I couldn't breathe in that cold air.

Just post it. If you had a good experience, we should know about it. Tell us how much it was, too. Things are too much of a PITA already in this hobby to be hush-hush about people who throw us crumbs.

Don't be shy Reg, out with the details!

For the medic that has everything! Cool contrast to the usuale!

1 week ban for mental health reasons? To save your marriage?

Wow, right at the buzzer. Nice save! I really don't like dogs.

Looks good Gio. Definitely nice as is. Chiefs AR would look sharp though. Weird how they did the bracelet pins. Maybe you could replace with non headed pins like the gen? Did the insert come lined up correctly? See the case even has a serial#. Nice.

Im running 10 down 2 up with cable broadband. It runs me approx +$50/mo.

Thats going to go down in rep history. LOVE it. The face resting against the rocks freaks me out a little though!

Have to admit the irony is quite funny.

Thanks Lan the man. You more than anyone here know it's not always been smooth sailing for me, brotha!

Good to see you around E, congrats on the family making!

Well, we see Lani's approach- buy them all. I like this one! After you get a few, you'll notice what you gravitate towards. You'll notice what you lack, for example you have no big watches, or no leather straps, or no chronographs. I've been here a few years and just now have my first chrono on the way. Get what interests you at first. Only when you start gathering a few will you realize what your tastes are going to be. You may love the Yacht-Master, but hate it on your arm. A little trial and error is necessary.

Trying not to curse, since I have a filthy mouth. non expat, just east coast US living. Perfectly normal. I called USPS and the lady says "Sorry Ma'am, we're closed. You can get it Tues, because monday is a holiday." I didn't even care that she called me ma'am, It was the holiday that [censored] me off. I just hung up and took my valium. Perfectly normal. And I don't have an unusually high pitched voice, it was situational! Pot? Kettle? We're both 31. Both of our 20's weren't that great. We have each other now. Keep your arm, go put it around your lovely wife. The polish wears off after a couple months in every relationship. Maybe give her a once over with the cape cod cloth.

I don't know how you do it! I think about you zig, those tedious moments have me on the borderline of insanity. signum you're right. A quick dial swap last night.. I already knew what I did wrong last time, so it was just a matter of going and doing it the right way, with a fresh start. A total 4 hour nightmare insued!. Back to the basics. I've been here for years now. Still the same rules apply. Patience. Learn. Read. Patience. I've got a GOOD lesson the past week or two that really I don't know s-h-i-t. i'm inpatient. I'm choffed about missing delivery of my skyland today when i've been at home, all day long, the past two days. And of course Monday is a government holiday (post is closed!!) and I'm back to work on tuesday. It's nothing new to any of us. Your right Freddy. I am not down any watches. Any vintage gen parts, etc. Chalking it up to great learning. The potential to have a good, complete, sub is down the drain unless by sub I mean yacht-mariner. We won't learn if we don't try!

Freddy, you used to date Yoko?

One good watch out of three. You really begin to appreciate something as a result of your own work. wiping away the print on the submariner dial as I did with rubbing alcohol, gives new meaning to sterile dial.

What we do for our reps. Or shall I say what our significant others put up with. My birthday was Oct 2. During that time we were away on a cruise to celebrate our engagement. In the previous few days, I had received some gifts (cash/checks) in cards from a few family members. Day two of the cruise (my bday), during conversation I casually mention (with no agenda) I wasn't planning on spending much money in Mexico, or in the casino, and I brought a fifth of rum with me so I didn't spend too much on overpriced drinks. I was simply there to spend time with her and take in the trip. Michelle says, "why don't you just order that watch you've been looking at. I'll pay the difference if you don't have enough as part of your birthday present". This woman is great. Not only did I come out of the shower to find our cabin completely decorated for my birthday (and later, she got decorated for my birthday) but now she remembered, and suggested I buy that watch she see's me looking at. Now there's a small hitch. We are in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, and I've just been green lighted on a Skyland V3 that I've had my eye on for a few months. What do you do? Wanting to get the jump on EMS, as cool as I can I say, "lets go down to the internet cafe on the ship so we can check email and I can order the watch." Michelle, the smart woman that she is, recites the activation cost for internet connection, plus the fee per minute which was outrageous. She trys rationalizing with me that I should wait until we get home. $15 for 5 minutes of internet is absurd. There's no rationalization when theres visions of V3's dancing in my head. I mean, I'd read toads guide to free Skyland V3 about 400 times in the past two weeks, you'd think it was a NY Times bestseller. $15 was trivial to get a 4 day jump on shipping while at sea. Don't you agree? "Oh honey, it's stupid but we're on vacation, its my birthday, and it will make me so happy." She smiles and heads down with me. I bang around for 10 minutes with internet timeouts as I bounce from satellite to satellite, probably using NORAD satelites in the middle of nowhere to navigate to Josh's site. Slowly but surely, the deed is done. Fast forward a few days to today. This morning, I track my little bundle of joy and its arrived in Tampa. In my educated guess, Monday I anticipate will be the delivery. But there's a problem. Monday, Michelle and I are off. We are going to look at this nice hotel to see if we would like to book it to get married in. Also, we are shopping to ultimately buy a new bedroom set. All this before traveling an hour to my fathers house for dinner. But my watch is being delivered. Watch? Marital venue/king size bed? Watch? Marital venue/king size bed? The mailman comes around 1pm, if I'm lucky. She'll be ready to leave by noon. What do you do. WHAT DO YOU DO. I send her a txt, "honey, Monday no rush. Let me wake up and cook breakfast, then I will touch up the living room wall (we just painted) so when we come home the wall won't be tacky in case we have furniture or decorations to deal with. Plus my watch should be coming, so we can be around for delivery." (it was a long txt) "thats fine." (her reply was short.) No its not. We all know what that means. WHAT DO YOU DO? My father emails me. He's not feeling well (neither am I) and were going to reschedule dinner for later in the week. (A little side note here, I have a noobmariner to give him for his birthday when I see him. From Reg. sanded the bracelet down, waterproofed it. Nice.) So I txt Michelle the best puppy dog eye looking smiley face emoticon I can manage, tell her dinner is rescheduled with my father and the rest of the day is hers after mail arrives. She tells me she loves me, its perfectly ok, and she's looking forward to it. Yes!!! Shes a keeper. That watch better arrive on monday in working condition or it's my [censored]. Josh, don't fail me. Seriously. It's all on the line with this one. Edit/Update: I know Halo is the only poor bastard that actually read this, but check my luck::: delivery attempt today while I am at work. Someone was supposed to be home but went out. Monday the post office is closed for columbus day. Whats another week...

oi vey. Thats rediculous. As a last resort, could you purchase a new one at a retail store, keep the new (good) one and return the old one for your money back? Worst case scenario is the plan doesnt work and you have to return the new lens eh?

I would divorce myself if I bought more than one watch a day. If your married replace day with month and still, imagine the sentence coming from spouse.
