Really Paypal gift is the way to go. Build your reputation and let the buyer ride on that. What a muppet though. /slap

Hey guys, the other half has decided that she wants her tiny Longines watch to have an all gold bracelet. She likes the brown leather strap, but wants it in a larger watch. So this one isn't wasted, she wants to put the watch on a matching gold bracelet. I measure around 15mm between the lugs. Anyone got any idea where to find a match gold bracelet that looks at home on the watch? I don't Anything to watch out for? Too easy to make a simple mistake with stuff like this so figured I'd pick your brains instead of diving in. Using the numbers on the back I think I've found the model online. http://www.francisandgaye.co.uk/ladies-longines-presence-heritage-18ct-gold-watch-L42678732-p8423?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=longines-ladies-presence-heritage-18ct-gold-automatic-watch-l4-267-8-73-2&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&gclid=CjwKEAiA3Ou1BRDso5XyhduuwFASJABP3PEDszkTeUyraCk40QIKzg28eO25nhVJ2AT19FqV5qEnJxoC3Qnw_wcB Here's some pics..

I'd pick the SWF out of those three too. Just looks better to my eye.

Did you just equate Muslims with terrorists and pedophiles. I truly feel sorry for you.

Been an avid follower of politics, I would be very surprised if there was a single opinion expressed that I haven't heard before. Happy to be proven wrong, was there any particular POV expressed in the thread that was novel, profound or groundbreaking?

Didn't read the thread but will make my position. There's been a lot of 'solidarity' memes going around. Posting pictures of French flags, French peace signs etc. People jumping on this type of sentiment and spreading it. This isn't solidarity. This is defiance, and the worst form of it. It's tribal. Few of us in the west act like this when terrorists attack parts of the middle east, which happens almost weekly. To me it's unbearably shallow and an easy way to absolve yourself of a duty to make the world a better place. Why try to do what's necessary when you can copy and paste a French flag to your avatar. If people truly cared. Truly. They would go out and make another Muslim friend. Take their next holiday in a Muslim country. I don't want to hear about solidarity unless it's with all types of people all over the world all the time. We have to act against our baser instinct. When terrorists attack, we don't escalate. We take in more refugees, we show more love to Muslims, we give more aid. That way we make the world a better place. We certainly don't keep bombing Muslims in their own countries. How many innocent Muslims have we bombed in the past decade? Doesn't bear thinking about.

There's been an update from Angus. He says there's a story behind why this rep went under the radar but he can't give details now. He also says that it's still being worked on, albeit slowly.

I'd like to know this too. I've always shopped from united-pharmacies for my generics and they've always been legit. Would be great to have a place to share feedback and get head's ups on that of thing though.

About to pick up the new Petit Prince rep then got stuck on this. Always had a soft spot for IWC's with the little red triangle on the face. Thoughts? Which would you go for between the two? http://www.pf-818.com/iwm171010-mark-xvii-ssle-black-asia-2892-p-18101.html Petit Prince http://www.pf-818.com/iwm171012-mark-xvii-ssle-blue-asia-2892-p-18013.html

Brilliant stuff, GJ!

I did read what you said and quoted them. You find 'adherence to wrist size disconcerting', and you 'don't know why wrist size should dictate what you wear on any given day'. Yet you denigrated the Panerai wearer, describing him as a 'poor kid' (yet you haven't met him and know nothing about him, or the context of the picture itself). You also made some chest puff commentary about guys needing to 'have the peripherals to back it up'. Which to me means nothing, just sounds like bluster and the opinion of someone who is aggressively opposed (even offended sounding) to another man wearing a watch too large for his wrist. You can see where my confusion lies, are you saying that wrist size is relevant to watch size or not?

Going to be a fair bit of that happening this week!

Found those promo images of Craig with the bosses a big cringey, but that is a nice Seamaster! Pretty cool. How do you guys feel about wearing movie special editions or whatever? Prefer it or find it a bit tacky or what? Depends on the movie?

Just wrong. Clearly there is a lot of people born into hideous amounts of privilege and wealth and we have to deal with making sure our society is a meritocratic one. I can understand the angst people feel when they work hard all their lives and never have what others have by simply being born. But that's just out of order. How does he know that the car owner didn't work hard for that car. The owner could have spent his whole life wanting that car since he was a boy and working his nuts off his whole life to get it. You know what I mean? When you take out your angst on random targets, you only make the world a worse place to live in.

So ah, how do you reconcile these two comments? Not myself in that pic I posted by the way guys. Just found it on Google images

Look at the state of that thing.. Reckon they hit a brick wall on the 3239 with some difficult part. Or maybe they simply are too busy making lots of lame pieces!

What you guys think of it? At 41mm it's on my shopping list now. Just need some reassurance on the quality of it. Haven't seen anyone anywhere who has picked one up yet. Pretty recent release from what I can tell.. http://www.puretime.watch/product/mark-xvii-le-petit-prince-swf-11-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-a2892/

I just think personally that size is important here because overhanging lugs etc make the watch look awkward, like it doesn't fit, or even immature. In terms of style, things look better if they fit well. You can buy an expensive suit, but if it's ill fitting, it won't look stylish, for example. Exhibit A attached. What do you think?

@imajedi wow, love that. Especially on the bracelet. (I'm a bracelet guy at heart!) Awesome

+1 on the strap thing. Always thought that a thick leather strap that was too stiff would just make it harder to wear a watch if size is the concern. Usually go for bracelet but would love a leather strap on an IWC if I could pull it off!

Really nice! Doesn't look big on you at all. Maybe I've been too cautious...

The Ingy 3239 rep may never happen and I have an IWC itch to scratch. The size of them put me off though, not sure how well a 42mm+ IWC would sit on wrists my size (6.5 to 6.75 depending on weight). Any of you sub 7 guys taken the plunge and are happy with how it looks?

Good point! Didn't know it was that expensive. Thought it was around £7k or so! She works in finance and there's loads of flashy sorts around but still.. £23k (just looked it up) is definitely way above my pay grade for giving gifts. She wears lower range gens like Longines usually. Need to check their range again.. see if I can find a similar colourway around £5 to £7k. Doesn't have to be AP, but this rose goldy/white face look is quite trendy right now for women.

Thinking to get this for the missus, but she's super fussy. Fussier than I am! No experience with AP's at all, so was hoping you guys could cast your critical eyes on it! http://www.pure-time.com/product/lady-royal-oak-33mm-rg-silver-dial-diamonds-bezel-on-rg-bracelet-ronda-quartz/ I've ordered from PureTime before and was really happy, so was going to use them again. Or is there a better quality rep for a ladies AP? Any help or opinions at all appreciated!
