I'm glad you think that way, though of course you're British, Demon. I frankly think people who ban films/books because they are offensive towards their culture, are absolutely ridiculous, and their attitude redolent of "Tercermundismo". If Americans had that attitude, Borat would've been banned instead of making hundreds of millions in USA box offices. Reminds me of when Riotur (the official Rio de Janeiro tourism agency) threatened to sue Matt Groening for his "unfavourable" and "imperialist" portrayal of Brazilians in a Simpsons episode. If memory serves, the Uruguayan government also threatened the same for Homer pronouncing their country, Uruguay, "You're a gay". Oh brother. God spare us from people with inferiority complexes.

Back-to-back Daylights, in different dial colours! Don't you love when that happens? It makes comparison so much easier -- a bit like my Blackseal with Spartan's. P.S.: Thanks, Xim. A little florid perhaps. @Golfman: That drifter looks JUST perfect on your 111, but more importantly, on you. You were meant for tan straps! Like me.

What?! But he's a redneck whose word is law? Hand on fire time, sir! That's what I read by one of his supporters over at RWI -- a very amusing thread, to anyone but the guys whose watches he ruined. And I'll never forgive myself for confusing Thumbmodds with him, just because of that blasted thumb avatar RBJ has.

There have been many in the past. I always reply, but this is the first "ladies watch" thread I've ever posted. Seems Rolexes are in her future, mon ami. As you await others posting pics, check out these two threads: Ham 'n Pickle: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry408520 One of my exhaustive replies full of links: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry366898 Hand on heart, I say this is too clunky and it's a fantasy watch, which I always counsel people to stay away from. It's easier to be caught out that way (though as Freddy and I recently mentioned, it's less of a problem for women). Check out the second of the two links above. You'll find loads of Cartiers, but sadly not the Seatimer Pasha. Neither my mum nor I have that one.

Reg, this doesn't have "diamonds". It's the best one of the ones you got. However, are you sure it's the Double Tour? The one that wraps up around one's arm? Here's "Angela", probably, modelling the Cape Cod version.

Closeups of the new Limited Edition Bond SMP: "The updated chronometer sports a black bezel (rather than the traditional blue), not to mention black gold-plated hour and minute hands and red 007 logo. As the name implies, it's also water-resistant up to 300 meters, if you need that for some reason. The watchmaker will produce 10,007 of them, with the first hitting the brand's Beverly Hills shop for a price TBD."

Well, that makes all of us -- you know how Miami fans are notorious for only getting excited and attending games when there's something at stake. This city is too new for anything deeper. I read that the second RWG meetup at Dave & Buster's was, well, a bust. But the first, organised by Phoband, was a great success. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry150026 This was in November 2006. This was the next meeting.

Naturally, the Patek 24 is an utter classic, but the reps are ridiculous. Bling just isn't convincing on those versions. BTW, Corgi, did you see my Easter wristcheck? Patek is fighting for its dear life in the "dainty" category, since the trend for the past decade has been outsized watches. I actually take the Herm

If you want to get your little lady/better half/Signifcant Other a ladies' watch, hotter than any Chanel J12, look no further than this. Herm

Oh heavens, there are loads of us, Chuck. Look at Florida in the RWG Member Map. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?autocom=gmap Thank God Shaq left, else we'd have tipped over by now.

He stopped reading after the "Troubles" in November-December. He's fairly upset that I am still a member of the forum, but I told him, it's much better now. So flirt away. @Toady: Oh, some board members and I took a while to mesh, is all. Thankfully, that's ancient history.

MONDAY This wristcheck is all about discovery. What's under the box? What's inside the bag? What's inside our hearts? I hope you enjoy it, as it'll be the last for a while. Ooh. What's this! My carryon Barbour bag, with reading material, my iPod, my camera, my passport, and of course... TWP's fully modded PAM 183. You can read a book with this lume! Look how beautiful it turned out. What more does a girl need this spring but a Dior pelouche and her 183? TUESDAY Ooh. What's this! Can it be a Cartier Santos cradled near Cartier champers flutes? Few online forums exhibited the generosity this one did when one member needed it most. So here's to you, my dear RWG... ...a toast to all your healths, and the importance of community! Bis bald.

Spartan, I think this must be your first Wristcheck? If so, welcome, and man do you have good taste. Perfect watch/strap combo.

Colourful!! We have to talk about designers though. Pasty!! But with that watch on your wrist, who needs a tan? GORGEOUS!

THANK YOU. Sorry guys, but that's the truth. Notice that it was a neurosurgeon, not a celebrity, etc. People like that are in the upper-middle strata economically. They can afford to buy pricey watches, but they can't afford to have 24/7 security, full insurance, and a deep vault inside their house (which can run you in the hundreds of thousands to build) like the truly rich. I hate when my parents are right, but they were right in disallowing me to post all my/their gens. It's just too risky, even if most theft of this kind turns out to be an inside job.

Only man in this world that could get away with that. Even his grandson Lapo can't. Maybe V can wear the Greek flag on his cuffs? EDIT: In that thread, Deltatahoe, someone posted this link mentioning Agnelli's signature wristcheck. http://www.askmen.com/fashion/trends_100/1...ashion_men.html "Of course, the Italians have their own agenda when it comes to wrist d

Auction closed. When I was searching for Breitling bracelets, I saw plenty of 'em last night on Fleabay. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?f...&category0=

He's not the only one. Me too. I've made a pact with my parents about that, but I have ways of getting around it. That's a splendid idea! @Uncle Jay: Cool! Thanks so much. Much though I would've enjoyed placing the decal on my skis, I look forward to slapping those babies on my new car.

"China and a curmudgeon of RWGers"?

Screwie, I just saw this by Precious Time (he's in the EU, the UK to be exact so that's good for you) -- and thought of you. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=69884&hl=

LOVELY. Great shot of the watches, with that tell-tale macho fist pump (so macho, the whites of your knuckles are showing!). And is your shirt pocket upside down? Chic! One of the best photos so far (I love TMG's rare ocean wristie). CLARIFICATION: This thread is a challenge thread, not a substitute for the beloved 3x a week Wristchecks.

Parliament of owls. Sorry, I didn't have a point. I just like saying parliament of owls.

UNCLE JAY! Was that you?? I once saw this posted (I think on Risti). Bless, what a collection. I can't wait until Sssurfer comes back and sees this.
