Since you've done some research (something imperative before anyone comes to the forum to ask questions for the first time), let me then ask you -- Davidsen's 111h is out of your maximum price range reach. I mean, please email him, but last I heard it's more than $350, especially including Western Union fees. So I wouldn't even bother with DSN if that's your criteria. You have several choices. A cheapie $100 Silix version, but not "best". A great TWP unmodded version, but I believe not cheap these days. An Andrew/Joshua 111h, around $158 not including shipping (I have two from Andrew), but not totally accurate. Or you can hunt down the Member Trade areas for one, if you upgrade your Membership. It depends what you're looking for really.

VISA = Coke MASTERCARD = Pepsi I have Visa.

WEDNESDAY Today, I'm taking out my beloved gen USSR-made Poljot watch! Yes, similar to the one worn by Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin himself into orbit!! I have a cuter Wristie than he did though. ...okay, okay. He actually wore this, the famous Schturmanskie. But even my intense dislike of Commies doesn't prevent me from loving the Poljot and its history. Oh and the Russkies also made an excellent rifle, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. To echo Judi Dench as "M": "God, I miss the Cold War." THURSDAY It's hot hot hot in Miami this October!! (33C) And that was at 5 PM, too. And when you mention heat and wristwatches, you have to think of Panerai. My brand-new, very first cognac Strapmasters strap on the DSN 112. Hotness. Yarrrrrrr!! You know those drivers who approach a Toll Plaza and they're fumbling with their wallets UNTIL THE VERY LAST MINUTE? Well, I hate those people. Ex-Girl Guides are ALWAYS prepared! @Stephane: Nice Mont Blanc! And I see the ex-Missus Stephane got to keep the jewels...ah well, I hope you got to keep the dog. @Scoobs: You'll be missed. Have fun in Polska! (The Polish connexion on RWG is amazing, no?)

Yes, she makes the scene. The tension between them is genuine (that is, on the screen, I have no idea if they got along together as actors), and you'll recall moments later how he cuts her down to size by analysing her dress sense -- in choosing overly mannish-coloured clothes, she actually achieves the exact opposite effect of men NOT respecting her as a person, not just as a woman. That entire by-play between them, when they first meet is WONDERFUL, sexy, tense, alluring, full of promise, with a dash of mystery and musk. The endless battle of the sexes that promises delicious surrender. Just like male-female relationships should always be. Case in point, I will disagree with you here about the "product placement". Was it in Brosnan's first stint as 007 where the producers were ridiculous in advertising sponsors? Remember the Pepsi placement? Or the incessant ramming down our throat of the Beemers? And the whole Omega transition. Oh God that was awful -- so obvious. I'd much rather have this OVERT scene than cutesy insider references splayed throughout a film. It's more honest. And it was handled through dialogue, which as a writer, I loved. I love her voice, accent or no. I frequently have woman crushes about women's voices -- usually the raspier the better. Tallulah Bankhead. Kathleen Turner. Diana Rigg. Heck, even Demi Moore. RRRRRR.

Question to Mod Team: Whycomes you can Rate certain threads, and not others? I'm trying to put a 5-Star rating on this marvellous thread, but am not given the option.

In all seriousness though, Cornerstone, genius, just genius, especially the last photo. God only knows how long you PS'ed this. And I actually El-Oh-Elled about the "Miss Understood boudoir" bit. In fact, :lol: .

Count yourself lucky, Nanuq! I got the Hologramme Kitty Watch with JAPAN not ITALIAN movement. WTF.

Cornerstone, you're holding out on us! First of all, you didn't include the munchies buffet in the RWG Green Room: Nor the hearty welcome given by Ken given to celebrity members like OJ Simpson and President Ahmenidjad (spell it any way you like!): Nor did you mention Admin's fresh new ride, sold to him by Eunomians: Incredibly, you also omitted the brand-new Rolex Chihuahua-Just given to all who upgrade their memberships!: Not trying to put you down, or anything. Just wanting to give The Folks the fullest picture of "Mundo RWG.CC".

Oh no, Stephane, I didn't care about your opinion about the quality of this rep (that sounded rude! Sorry. I'm sure you know what I mean!). I know it's a cheapie, and moreover, laughably bad compared to others' here. Below is what I wanted -- your opinion of how it looks on me. Oh, snap, really? Let's see. ROLEX GMT II ROLEX DAYTONA BLACK with PANDA DIALS For the record, I think I look HIDEOUS with the Daytona. Maybe Rima can pull it off, as I read she likes Daytonas, but with me, no. But then, maybe others disagree?

God, mum is that you? She says the same thing. Only she means it. She has an acquaintance who knows she is wearing a rep blue-faced, solid gold Rolex, because she KNOWS watches. But my mother would rather go outside dressed like Minnie Pearl than tell her about Joshua and Andrew. Yeah, like your average person knows what Patek Philippe is, and how much our Sky-Moon is worth! I've gotten lots of compliments about mine. Yay! Suckers.

HAH! I guess you didn't catch my Wristie on the last day of August, Pizzanoo, where I credited you with selling me your Walter PVD strap. (Or at least, one of your Walter PVD straps. The strap in that photo doesn't look like mine) Well, here's a refresher: I think the Walter PVD with double-row black stitch, and PVD StrapCulture Yarrrr! buckle would rock anyone's world.

That's awful. Angelinos should have more tact with those struggling with Parkinson's.

Give in, Euno, give in!! Buy yourself a Black Magic, seeing how you love black watches.

That is my FAVOURITE scene of the film. I like how she's obviously been checking out his entire person all the time they had their eyes locked in conversation, but she gives 007's watch a brief glance, and says "Rolex?". Without looking down (as would be reflexibly the case with almost all of us), he arrogantly replies in a clipped voice, "Omega". She says "Beautiful", lifts her eyebrows, bends her head down, and absorbs the news. Simple, elegant scene. Love it. (What a weird comment in the reply section, about Eva Green having an annoying voice. Maybe an annoying accent, but RRRR, I love her voice! Yes, a woman can have a crush on another woman's voice, what?) EDIT: Oh Bravoz, you can do this in future now: zQg2dI9r3G8&NR=1, then look up and where you see Youtube in the HTML codes on top of the post, just click on that. It automatically embeds it so we can view it without clicking. (Once you posted, you either have to do it manually thus [ Youtube ] ... [/ Youtube], or "Full Edit" it)

TT, that second photo is GORGEOUS! And Admin, your shots are lovely. Can't believe Norway and South Florida could have so much in common: It's a wonderful life.

Members Online Today: 961 It's been going up incrementally every day! That's surely good news for the forum. P.S.: I'm worried about the login change...hope that doesn't confuse/drive away lurkers or sometime posters!

Here's a flight attendant on her way to you, Jfreeman. Don't forget to ask her for your nuts. EDIT: OMG, LOL! Not safe for workplace, but that's hilarious.

:lol: One thing though -- men may like to ride a S.lut every once in a while, but they'll marry the Virgin! ...and then she'll leave him for Freddy Laker and his millions. P.S.: Relatedly, many all-girl boarding schools in Britain, like the one I attended, go by the name of: But sometimes we're also called "Sluts on the Hill".

I posted on the Panerai section that I have recently been timing my Fiddy, and have it within COSC specs (!). One thing I have always been, is picky about setting my clock(s) so that it matches the Atomic Clock, etc. For whatever reason, my "Synch Time" stopped working on my computer (no, my firewall settings hadn't changed). So I opened up an UDP port, and voil

Keep it, keep it!! *rolls around on the floor having a hissy fit, like a 3-year-old* Hey, Stephane -- no comment on my GMT II, which your post inspired me to buy?

Nailed it, Crystalcranium! Guess what? In my irrational exuberance, I forgot to see that the IWC CD 2007 watch I just bought had a GLARING misprint on it. It went from to in one split second. Thank God I caught it before it was shipped, else I would've been as devastated as poor Lani when I got it... Oh well, I'm not yet a member of the IWC Club. I'm an orphan. @UB7: Thank you, sweetheart! I had worried about the GMT II, but it seems guys like it, so I'm very satisfied!

Let me correct your last statement: "One might have to be careful not to break one's lovely (real) red nails on one of those Cartier double deployant clasps." Trust me. Gen or Rep -- Cartier's are a pain.

Damn, I should've posted yesterday, because that was my exact estimate -- pawning this will fetch you or your buddy about U$200, tops. The marque is an excellent one, but they're looking at condition, and frankly, it's a 3 out of 10.
