  1. TT, let's see in Youtube:
  2. For the record, I loved Capricorn One. OJ Simpson was EXCELLENT!
  3. Like it's some big deal that the Miami Dolphins are playing versus NY Giants at New Wembley, this Sunday. http://www.bafl.org.uk/ COME ON YOU LONDON BLITZ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Blitz_...can_football%29 Chelsea goalie, Petr Čech, has already expressed admiration for the speed and size, and the dynamism of practise which he witnessed this week, to 24 hr. cable channel, ESPN. Cool. That should shut up the usual knee-jerk "It's not football since you play with your hands" and "rugby is better" talk right? Right. P.S.: I for one, remember the defunct London Monarchs. Sniff. SOME IMAGES: LOLOL...
  4. How strange! He cut you a break because he didn't think you could afford another tenner? Or because he got a pang of conscience, at the last minute? But $5-$10 is about what I pay for sizing my watches, so I think you're the one who made out like a bandit. BTW, my mum has a jeweler in Little Havana. $2 for sizing her watches. Sometimes, the guy does it for free, if it's a quickie sizing. Can't beat that.
  5. DITTO! That is a gorgeous watch, Avitt. Only you!
  6. Mr. P, don't look now but there are a lot of people making this a closer race than thought. I wonder if they are clicking on "See Results" THEN voting... @Ravishingrick: Love your .sig!!
  7. THANK YOU. Have people here seen Platini not just in 1 minute clips but in a whole match?? God, he was exceptional. Again, I repeat that people tend to appreciate most what is the most recent, the ones they have judged with their own eyes. There is some validity to that, but definitely it's not what should prevail, overall. Another thing that disturbs me is this "He didn't win it all" mentality. Well neither did Puskas, but that man could more than hold his own around Zidane. So could Cruyff, and so could Beckenbauer...all very different players, indeed. By all means, Zizou = best European player of the past 2 decades. Best European player of the past 50 years...IMHO, no.
  8. I had SUCH hopes for Tarantino when he came out with that. Ah well. Anyway, getting back to the "Top Gun" IWC: Question: For USD15,000 do you think the watch should have a military strap and stay true to its purposes of being a military-inspired watch...or, is it too little for too much price? (BTW, not impressed by the quality of said strap. It's fughazi) I would hope for that amount they throw in a few straps for free. Anyone know?
  9. (I would also say that Infernal Affairs was better than The Departed by Scorcese, along the same lines. However, The Departed was a fine effort, certainly a lot more than that pap of a biopic which came before, The Aviator. Shiver) One of the BIG problems I have with Tarantino, is that his Blockbuster shop clerk cinematic knowledge is such, that he references so many films in his own vision, that it makes him seem very childlike as a director. There is a difference between, say, the late Robert Altman having been very influenced by the works of Orson Welles and Howard Hawks, to Tarantino just ripping the directors who influenced him, STRAIGHT OFF. It's like sampling in rap. Ugh.
  10. Yay! I was sure you had bought it, though sad you stopped posting regularly soon after. Thought you were angry, Erwinner. LOOK AT THAT PATINA! Wow, you must wear yours every day. It looks like a Havana cigar rolled on the thighs of Dutch maidens. BTW, above you see someone asking where are my carbon strap shots on the 177. I posted them, referencing you here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry342562 And here they are! It's usually $109, but it can be bought sometimes for half that.
  11. Slickness doesn't equal quality. If you remember my opinion on Fracture posted a few times before (because Gosling wore the IWC Porto), you'll understand I don't rate that as skill. Let me give you an example of my opinion, so that you may see my opinions, not exactly about Tarantino. One of the worst films I've ever seen is the Sound of Music. It was directed by Robert Wise* like the ball of sugarplum fairy pee it is. Great acting? Decent. Good dialogue? Why not. Songs? If you like showtunes, they're amongst the most memorable, by two absolute geniuses of the genre. But overall, I am of the opinion of the late great film critic, Pauline Kael, that it should've been called the Sound of Mucus. *Director of The Desert Rats, I want to live!, The Haunting, The Day the Earth Stood Still.
  12. Wow, you're the first quasi-Irish chap I know that doesn't defend Keane. I'm impressed! Please see my reply to the first part of your statement below. That's because he has a duality, both on the pitch and off of it. Have you seen him up close? If he passed you by, you'd think he was a skinny, balding nonentity whizzing by with hunched shoulders in a Member's Only type jacket. But engage him in conversation, just to say, "Good job! Love your skills", or some such, and his face transforms itself into a sweetness, a delightful charm which is as honest as a child's. Materazzi is an idiot, and he "went" there referencing his mum or sister, it was never conclusive what he said. Pel
  13. I would leave off the Rolexes until the 6th month, TBH. If those geeks, I mean! fine intellectual gentlemen around him even notice he is wearing a watch, they'll begin to wonder how such a down-to-earth guy like Puggy, can have afforded all those watches. In the two wage-earning jobs I've ever had in my life, I played it very cool, dressed modestly, took public transport, and kept my name-dropping to an absolute minimum. I rotated exactly 3 watches, and even to the wedding of my international banking supervisor, I wore a watch she had seen before. I was promoted twice, in short order, and it didn't raise anyone's hackles as I feel it normally would've. Sure, Pugwash doesn't need specific advice on how to act. He's probably more than a job veteran that I am. But I'll counsel him to take it easy, nonetheless. Good jobs are hard to come by.
  14. You teased me and said I would be at 3000 after a month. WELL HAH. I purposely underposted just to prove you wrong. Bush's clock indeed.
  15. Good. You look hot when you're ginger.
  16. How kind, Teddy Boy. I can tell there's a certain sympathy already, without you mentioning it, by your nickname. David Yurman was an interesting suggestion, and one I had never thought of giving you (my mum is a big fan of his jewelry). If we're going that way, check out Technomarines too.

  18. Brep! Dude, you like what you like, and that's awesome. There is a saying amongst WIS', as you know -- "it speaks to me". That's something indescribable, and really not about taste. It's about attraction. And attraction is always partly sexual. If the Graham watches move with your insides, go for it!
  19. The Railmaster looked very nice too, and within your price range. BTW, I am not Stephane -- that's a Belgian guy, I'm a British girl named Victoria.
  20. Do us a favour, Pugwash. Can you do this too? Would save us a lot of bother. $ rm -r bin/laden
  21. I just clicked...it's the first thing that struck me. That lightning bolt -- horrible, horrible. Reminds one of Black Lightning, the first black Super-Hero.
  22. Have you tried this work-around (since I don't have his email to help you)? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showuser=605 Go to send email -- and enter your message. He should then get that at his email addy. SHOULD. Good luck!
  23. That old thing is worth a dozen Grahams, IMO. Great choice, Phantom!
  24. Dluddy, what a beautiful combo! That Camello is fantabulous. I just inquired about DSN's 232. Do you like yours? Where did you get, etc.? PM if needs be, please.
  25. Good choice, but so late?? I was always in bed by 10. You sound like a cool dad!
