  1. Yes. Contact "Taiji" on RWI. He sold me a polished crown guard which fits beautifully in the 3 PAMs I installed it on (the only ones I've tried, but they were a PAM 112, PAM 111, and PAM 199). Maybe he can source you another, in case no one here can. EDIT: OH! Maxmsu is selling two here, cheaper than Taiji's. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=47619&hl= I was going to get his movement, and though he kindly tried to help me, I just didn't feel comfortable with stems, crowns, and movements, yet.
  2. Indeed. That's Columbia River, Oregon, in the great Pacific Northwest of America. Not my photo, and I've only been to Washington State, but it looks very beautiful. HOWEVER, at the risk of bringing down the wrath of the Mighty Lanikai, and the wonderful Irish RWGers, I find Hawaii and Ireland a TOUCH too green. England's is about right. The Lake District especially.
  3. "And our teeth"! Honestly, though, what's the deal with the teeth? It's not as bad as all that. And whenever I hear Americans being called fatties by us (which has reached fever pitch proportions in the past decade, but most especially after Hurricane Katrina), I remember that Americans have always derided us for our teeth. I have great teeth okay! By the way, just to make my comment fair and balanced, when Consuelo did indeed become Duchess of Marlborough, she was chosen as one of the Court Ladies to escort Queen Alexandra to her coronation. I believe there were only 8 ladies given this EXTREME honour, and one was an American. We British are nothing if not fair.
  4. It is. I grew up nearby. Especially during the time you went, when men all over are playing in their cricket whites, which you can see below you as you fly into Heathrow or Gatwick. Every time I see that as we approach, I get a lump so large in my throat, it hurts. It's the little things you miss. Like PG Tips and Richard & Judy, which sounds twee, but there you are... I'll c/p the two photos I liked best in a second, Gio. FAVE #1: FAVE #2: ...as Puggy said, tourists have practically the same "eye" when shooting things which to them is astounding (and they are!), but to those used to it, are a little more prosaic because of custom. But I have never been to the Blackfriars (!), and I just love the photo of this pizza. For the record, though it's become a chain, Pino's is pretty good too.
  5. That's what you get for living with the drugged-out hippies in Christiania! I bet you you were not as calm then, as you seem about the whole thing now. I would've been devastated...why didn't you tell her what was inside, though??
  6. Hence why I've never bought from her or Ruby (although I'm sure they're fine. It's just a quirk of mine). For these types of watches, I stick to the services of Andrew. His Connie range seems to be from 39/38mm (I've seen both) for the male version, 22.5mm for the female. The watch you pictured may or may not have MOP, but he has both versions, including the blinged out ones. http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...products_id=395 MOVEMENT: Jap Quartz CASE DIAMETER: 22.5mm THICKNESS: 9mm DIAL COLOR: White Dial CASE MATERIAL: Stainless Steel 316L BRACELET: Stainless Steel 316L Deployant Bracelet FRONT GLASS: Synthetic Sapphire BACK GLASS: Solid signed Case Back BEZEL: Engraved Roman numerals Bezel HACK MOVEMENT: CLASP TYPE: Deployant Clasp DATE INDICATOR: At 3:00 position" Purists don't like quartz movements, but I've found that Quartz watches actually last a lot longer than Asian automatics. 2-5 on average for me. However, it's your call. Seems to me King's version is more complete. The Connie is not on my radar, especially the tiny ladies version, but certainly it is a gorgeous watch any woman would love to receive. Good luck.
  7. Remembering ALL the victims and their families, not just in the Twin Towers, but also the service personnel who lost their lives 6 years ago today. RIP.
  8. :Jumpy: Admin nude. My dream come true!!
  9. I think his Naturale is best with white stitching, and his Crazy Horse with black, but variety is certainly the spice of life. Hey! Thanks a lot, I appreciate that, All-Zen. I'm rather vain about my hands. *g* (Tragedy struck yesterday when my ring finger nail broke in two. Ah well. 2 weeks and it'll be back to normal)
  10. As I said, I don't have any problems with the ads themselves, though it would be nice as a VIP to be able to get rid of them entirely -- but neither am I really interested in seeing those half-clad women on RWG. (I also click away during the Girls Gone Wild ads...) So: Using Firefox, I went to Tools>Options>Content>On "Load Images Automatically" if it's ticked>Added http://ads.rwg.cc/>Blocked Though it still says "Find The Sexiest Women In Miami!" etc. for me, at least I don't see the images anymore. It's just blank where the pics of the hos should be. Hope it works for you work-place guys, especially, too.
  11. Speaking of which, since something strange happened earlier to my account -- I'm going to give my computer a thorough cleaning to see if there is no adware junk or funny business happening to it. This usually takes a while, even given my super fast RAM, so the Strap Caper Part 4 might be delayed Tuesday. Sorry about that guys. Try to be back soon.
  12. I can only speak for my own experiences with TWP, but they have been amongst the most rewarding rep watch collecting transactions. Quick PMs/emails is not the half of it -- cordial, friendly, knowledgeable, and above all, honest. If he doesn't have something, he tells you straight off. If something goes wrong, he fixes it. If there is a delay, he apprises you of any problems, which given his enormously busy profession, is a minor miracle in my eyes. I spread my rep watch collecting love all around, but I will tell you that TWP is more than just a collector amongst us: he's a true gentleman. A blessed day...I'm so relieved for you and your wife, and sons, that I can't ever express the happy surprise I felt as I read this. Good luck, TWP.
  13. I can't speak for the 177h, but my Greg Crazy Horse fits just fine on my DSN PAM 112. Photo available later. LATER: As you can see, there's plenty of space in the lug casing. (130/80, 24/24) Freebie wrist-check for you. Sorry about the poor lighting in our study. (No need to thank me. Today has been very therapeutic for me on RWG, and I thank you for providing me the chance to give back to our community, in some small way)
  14. Ah, but you forget my sexy, Liz Hurley accent! I mean, sheeeeah, that's gotta be worth a least two sous extra. Oh Ryyannon, you know you're the Mac Daddy of RWG! EDIT: Drat. I've looked everywhere for that photo just now. Can't find it. And once, I posted a .wav of me pronouncing "Aaron" since Stephane asked for a pronunciation guide with "British" English, "American" English, and Hebrew accents. The .wav I guess expired, because it's not hosted anymore...
  15. Mine does. Davidsen makes the crown as close to gen feel as possible, I've read.
  16. Just when you thought this world was a stinking pile of baby nappy refuse, filled with vulture vomit and a morass of pain and inequity, there comes a moment like this to make you think: GOD, THIS WORLD ROCKS. You're awesome, Carlsbadrolex! CBR, I swear to you I will personally collect a whip-round amongst all the members if she doesn't. But only after I slap her, like Joan Collins!
  17. Well, I didn't mean I was a lady of the night, either! Would that be the forum where you can find sexy singles in Miami? P.S.: One time, in band camp, I had a friend take a photo of me wearing black pipe-leg jeans, black stilettos, a black leather Eisenhower jacket, lighting up a fag as I leant against the wall (near Stringfellows). OH GOD I LOVE THAT PHOTO OF ME! And I don't even smoke, but I was smokin'! EDIT: I got Ryyannon's permission to post the photo, since, you guessed it he was "the friend". Yeah, I was a war bride in France. I picked up my husband opposite the fromages shop.
  18. I DID say I was no lady!
  19. Pussyhound!! NAMES OVERHEARD 1. Junior 2. Hercules (hehe) 3. Sharky 4. Monster 5. Gorgeous George (note his name was Jorge)
  20. I want to play, By-Tor! I want to play! (I bought this on holiday in Morocco YEARS ago. I Cape Cod polished especially for this Tag Heuer wrist-check) ...told you I love coffee. I even grind my own!
  21. May I quote Salt-n-Pepa about you, Vlydog: "Whatta Man, Whatta Man, Whatta Man, What A Mighty Good Man!" I love a man who knows what's what in life. Yes, my Beaufort which you'll see more of tomorrow.
  22. With Steve Fossett in mind, maybe if I were an F-15 pilot, I'd go with the Emergency model. But this one just looks like a cockpit on acid, and that's great!
  23. MONDAY A Gioarmani hommage,
  24. The clincher will be if the ad revenue keeps up, or if it was just a click out of first week curiosity, which I suspect it was. "Find Sexy Singles in Miami! Find The Sexiest Women In Miami! Find Hot Women In Miami!" ...lot of lonely guys out there.
  25. Men. Always boasting.
