I've bought multiple watches from Jay & Angel, Trusty, Joshua and Eddie Lee, and only on two occassions have I not had to send the watch back for a replacement. I'm not going to say who and how many times but I've spent a bit on postage, which I'm quite happy to do actually. The point I'm trying to make is that every time something went wrong it was corrected, some times I needed to apply a bit more pressure but every transaction came to a happy conclusion and I would not hesitate to order from any of those guys again. I think that's what I'm looking for. Dealers who understand that things sometimes go wrong and are willing to work with you to correct it. I'm also very polite, and very patient with my dealings which goes a long way, and have never asked the dealers to refund me for return postage. I would also not hesitate to purchase from some of the other dealers such as River, Neil etc... based on their reviews and standing in this community. One dealer that I was extremely tempted to do business with, and had a few e-mail conversations with was Luckyyy. I was about to send the money off, but did a bit more research here, TRC and RWI and on balance decided that it wouldn't be very wise. I think that was a good decision. So, anyway, I want dealers to have 1. Good products fairly priced. 2. Be willing to work to solve issues that may arise. 3. Good communication

Looks like you move fast Sql_pl - unless that isn't an engagement ring...?

LOL!! So no-one had ever dived in this country before Klinsman came along??? That's the biggest joke in the world. It really bugs me that the English consider themselves a non-cheating, non-diving country. Some of the biggest and worst dives I have seen in my life were carried out by Steven Gerrard (numerous occassions), Michael Owen (throughout his career), Beckham, Lineker (note; pre-Klinsmann) etc etc etc... Apart from that I agree about Fabrega's, the guy's class (apart from pizza-gate, you don't do that to Fergie!).

Shame about Real, but there we go. Knew I should have changed teams!! best and worst moments of the night were probably in the Arsenal game. Rosicky's goal was simply superb, bu Van Persie's dive was a joke. It is so obvious it isn't even funny. The bad thing is that he's no different from most other players...

sure, but TTK and EL (and probably others) simply reference links to their pictures in photobucket, so if that's down so are their pics which is annoying when you're in the mood for salivating over fine watches...

Yee-ha!!!

Goddamit, Photobucket's down!!!! And just as I wanted to indulge myself by looking at some of our dealers new offerings too.... How frustrating!!!

Cheers!!

that's not fair, we haven't started yet!!!

Paris is great, beautiful, romantic and not as expensive as people state. You can find places to eat very well that are very reasonable. Try going to places where the French go, not the tourist rip-offs you also find in London, NYC, Madrid etc...etc... Also you can find good places to stay fairly well priced. Check expedia - then look up the hotel on tripadvisor.com and read the reviews to get a really good picture.

nah, just give her one...

You know what, I'll stick to my guns. They were my boyhood team and I can't desert them like that. Besides, it will be good to have a couple of 'team mates'! Diego

Hey jtb, or other mods, can I change team before kick off? I can't face having to share my winnings with Ken AND Pug should Real do the unthinkable and win. I already pledged to give $20 to RWG if Real won, how's about I offer to double that if my new team wins...?

Prove it by picking FC Copenhagen...

Now I'm confused!!!

Not exactly confused, just lost for words really...

I must admit that I'm not a fan of the gold RO. SS is growing on me, went to check it out yesterday at an AD and it is very nice. However what really caught my eye were the Portuguese and als the Portofino in YG is a real beauty. Anyone have a rep of this?

Bumpety bump! Any last minute participants out there??!!

I was always into watches as a kid and had quite a variety. Digital watches, calculator watches, swatch, etc etc. Then one year I was given a mechanical Lotus watch which was pretty special for a 15 year old. It was amazing seeing this rotor going round and round through the display back was fascinating. Then I discovered women, and beer, and I smoked some funny stuff for a few good years! A couple of years ago, once life had settled down again my then boss introduced me to the original RWG and it kind of snowballed. I just wish I had all my old childhood watches. I sometimes see them in old photos and wish I could get them back. The only one I have left is a gold quartz Longines given to me by my godmother, and although most members here would baulk at it it is very special to me. Interesting conversation topic, even just to think back for oneself!

I've never had a problem from China, or anywhere else for that matter. I've ordered quite a few and they've always arrived. They've not always been the right one's but our great dealers here have always sorted that out!!! What's the problem?

Can't he pick his team today, and not change depending on Tuesdays result and just pay on Friday? agreed, about the members, not the Scots! And no dealers are playing either. Ah well, a bit disappointing particularly as some of the proceeds will be going towards keeping this place running.... Come one guys, don't be shy, you know you want to really....!!!!!

HA! Absolutely no idea K!!!! Wish I paid more attention now!!!

Since you've already taken half my winnings by chosing my team, the remainder will not be enough to buy an asian sub!!! But never mind, I pledge to give $20 to RWG should Real win the competition - please remind me of this - I'm not drunk (it is only 11.40am!!!), but I tend to forget promises of generous gestures!!!

@ docblackrock - I think Chronus should be able to participate as long as he sticks to his original prediction... @ Ken - If you win it will definitely be a split, as you are jumping on my selection!!!

shameless bumpety bumpety. come on guys, if you haven't already entered, why haven't you? you never know you may get something back at the end!! but remember, i will get this one...
