OH COME ON. First, if your gf is a doctor, the sky's the limit with people's imaginations about your earning power. Yeah, I too know ER physicians who earn $48,000 p/a (usually foreigners from India or the Phillipines), but when theoretically you can be a multi-millionaire in the US as a medical doctor, that's the only fact people hone on. EDIT: Oops. Made a leap of imagination that you're in the US. But even in other countries, physicians are always thought to be financially well set-up. Possibly. This was a good testing ground for you, as you mull your future reaction. Remember, life like baseball is situational. Tell your parents? Sure. Tell your co-workers? Maybe. Tell someone who doesn't wish you well? No. When Tony bothered to reply to me, 2 weeks later, he sent me nonsensical emails, and I just got a funny feeling about him. Certainly my personality is not about waiting, or being in the dark about the transaction. It ALL depends on one's personality. Glad to see it's turned out well for you both. I go to Jay-Silix for my cheapos, and though there is some problem, sometimes, he does right by me all the time. I thought she didn't like watches? That's some good stuff there! For Christmas for my boyfriend, I'm thinking not of the Slevin but the brown Mercedes Tag Heuer which Pix has, and whose pics were the sole reason I'm interested in getting it. He's seen it already, and loves it.

Yay!! Please God, hope dad is still with us...might even have given him a little grandson by then. P.S.: Yes, you're right Apey. There was no doubt that it would be them. Since they won World Cups everywhere BUT on Brazilian soil, they never needed the help, unlike Argentina in 1978 (has there ever been a more corrupt World Cup?). But 64 years...it was time. WC 2010: South Africa WC 2014: Brazil WC 2018: Canada/USA? WC 2022: Poland? WC 2026: China? WC 2030: Uruguay for the centenary

Without question. If he doesn't like you for reasons one suspects, he already thinks you're on thin ice as a person. This knoweldge of the rep world would give him ammo, possibly to do some mischief with the condo president, in spreading rumours etc. If you think I'm being too cynical, perhaps. But my condo is a nest of vipers. You can't be too careful, Rima.

RIMA, first, LOVE THE STORY! I've rarely seen you speak of your life, save for snippets about your cats and what-not, so this is as much insight about you as it is about him. -- The way you think, your writing skills in telling a story, the framing of the story, and how we handle moral dilemmas are all neatly revealed in these types of stories. -- You already know my answer because it's nearly unanimous above: Why should you tell that jerk anything? He's obviously interested in watches if he has a Roadster and is bidding on Daytonas, but he can't pronounce chronograph right, and doesn't know better about the seconds hand in a watch he's willing to plunk down $$$ on eBay? Please. That's not a watch hobbyist. He's just INTO watches. And after he gives you the courtesy of exchanging pleasantries ONLY after seeing you have a pricey watch, you should bare your soul to him? Never. Some other person, some other time. You did well. I realise you said your gf is a "poor little heathen" once regarding Daytonas, but what did she have to say about his sudden interest? Did she agree about not revealing the secret?

Love the watch. Adore the dog. Perfect shot, Corgi! Just like you promised last night.

Magnificent! I think I've seen it on another forum though. RWI?

MONDAY This is Maria Felix, the legendary Mexican actress whose life-long patronage of them, inspired Cartier to come out with a whole line called "La Do

I used to believe in the tooth fairy too, FxrAndy, and then I GREW UP! ...into a very disturbing young woman. P.S.: Do not under any circumstances go to the Looney Bin, and click on my thread about Harry Potter, subtitled "Two can Play at this Game"...

Are you suggesting something like this is the cause of it? !!NOT SAFE FOR WORKPLACE!! EDIT: OR INDEED ANYWHERE!! http://nymag.com/images/2/daily/entertainm...04_nsfw_lgl.jpg (That's Eli Roth, the weirdo, pervish director of such modern classics as "Hostel" and Hostel II")

Since you posted this, I've spent 15 minutes searching for another lest Mods get a trigger finger. Interestingly, found just this -- a Seiko QUARTZ advert in Rio de Janeiro, in the late 1970s (Moonraker time). Obviously, it being in English adds cach

Come on, everyone should do a bit of dogging once in their life. Missed that fixture alas, IIRC, due to a mandatory visiting prof lecture. Stupid Vic.

Or the Central London Sloggi-thongs. No confirmation if this was the cause of Princess Anne's last accident.

Yeah, but it's better than our Puggy who probably never got over Captain Pugwash and Master Bates...

:lol: (Daughter) (Hyster) P.S.: Awesome, just awesome. What a FUN dad you are! Since Bender is hotness, you must've been the hit of the party!!

It's Watch PRINCESS, I am too young to be a queen, and thanks, Viennawatch. No harm done!

Maybe your hometown has roadside adverts everywhere you turn. These are usually positioned in high-traffic areas in your city or town, which gets the maximum eyeballs on it, especially during rush hour. Do watch ads annoy you? Or as a watch hobbyist, do you find yourself gawping at it, every time you pass by? Me, I love them. And in South Florida, it's a good way to know what watch is "out there" and being flogged. Here are three snaps I took around Miami. Breitling Chrono Evo Billboard Cartier Ballon Bleu Billboard Rolex Datejust Jfreeman-Special Billboard ...do not attempt these in moving traffic, but by all means, post some if you get a chance!

Right. However, just to make the point clear, the footballer and his wife are not Roberto Carlos, who wasn't yet on the Brazil side in WC 1994. Nor was it Romario...BTW. Now HE is a little conceited, but there's a childlike air of bumptiousness there that is hard to dislike (perhaps a tad like Maradona, who he resembles physically a bit too!). He played for a while at Miami FC, you might recall. BTW, Nelson Mandela was a dear, but didn't like his wife.

Well, as you know, fair men (and women) have it easier colourwise. We're chameleons who can choose any colour from pumpkin orange to turquoise, and it'll still look fairly good. Olive-toned people, or black people, not so much. (However, black men and Panerais = very good combo. Rrrrr. Depends on the watch design, too) I love your Torre Automatic! Slightly Breguet, with a hint of Patek and Cartier about it. Classy all the way, but then, I expected that from you!

He'd have a beer with his 12 best friends? Classic. Speaking of which, one of my all-time favourite matches, and perhaps not a more thrilling one in the Premiership FOR ME was the classic Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle in the 1995-1996 season. Wow, magnificent effort all around, with players at their best. When Stan Collymore (ex-Spurs, whom I really didn't like) scored the 4th goal, the whole pub I was in erupted in every-man-for-himself-and-women-beware hugging! To a man and mouse, we all wanted to stick it to Man United and the Magpies, who were in the chase.

PIRATES! I love pirates. You can throw your fiddy at me anytime! (Great costume, Hyster, really. You're a proper pirate with patent buckle shoes and all!)

I bet you were a twoccer too! See, I loved bonfire night. The fireworks, the Guy being lit up by the village arsonist, the smell of greasy chipolatas and saveloys being consumed by grannies remembering the Blitz. Happy days. Sniff, me too. A gentler simpler England, captured in daguerrotype. I must say you looked very handsome in your muttonchops for a punk. Ooh ooh pick me! I have handguns!

PERV! Thanks for the reply, Lonnie. Do you have any pics? Were the police called? What was your costume? Many questions! You know, when I was growing up, we didn't celebrate Halloween in the UK. From what my cousins with children tell me, it's very different these days.

Apart from the advice given above on AR (which I agree with), depends on your complexion. My father is blond, and he looks great with either, preferring TeeJay's white-dial gift. I've noticed that darker men should probably stick to the white face in the VCO.
