Wrong.... It seldom works on Thai Postal Site...& when it does it will just say picked up @ *****, nothing more!!!! USPS MAY list something AFTER delivery So as the man says...a TRACKING number it aint! .

Ive got some I photo the odd watch myself No probs

Mods...close this thread now before the obvious BladeRWG1 jibes start

Dont know where the silicone came from or where the face was bead blasted....but that's definately the watch!! .

Ahh Shaun didnt know you were a kindred spirit! Tell you what....... To ease the anguish of the forthcoming weeks you can avail yourself of any one of my watches.... @ 50% DISCOUNT !!!

Mmmm... if you are prepared to allow THREE assailants to get the drop on you unawares....pray to God that firearms are NEVER an issue in any future event.

I predict with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY..... That all will have to endure several weeks of this unending worldwide diatribe of twaddle. .

Over the past few years I've had the sneaking suspicion that the 'Wristwatch Annual' (which proliferates in the Far East) has been a source of 'short run' new lines ideas for the manufacturers. .

Not as far as these forum pages are concerned it isnt!!!!!!!!! Tho wonderful it would be .

The Tiddly Winks certainly do know the difference......they also know the golden rule, ALWAYS use both on the same watch, preferably one on the front & the other on the back. And take your pick for the deployant. But what the heck two watches for the price of one.....maybe with a Schumakker caseback thrown in for good measure too

@ Helmut Any relevance to the choice of avatar? Spent many happy hours piloting Bell 47's myself. Just curious

Heres a couple of Tissots I have on stock:

...maybe a precurser to a new gameshow... "SPOT THE W****R" 'Tony's Magic Island' dontcha just love it!!!!!

Knew there had to be a reason.....just couldnt figuer one out

Although the qualty of the face detailing is surprisingly much better on the Asian movement version!!

On the contrary there is a proliferation of ORIS reps 'out there'...most with poor deployants...but seldom are they popular enough to see them travel down the 'food chain'

Yes much the same here, near 40 trips there over seven years.... food poisoning twice... both times after shellfish, which by my reckoning could happen to you anywhere on the planet. And I eat everything there (as I'm sure Neil would confirm!) everything that is except Laarp (the raw kind) as I think raw minced pork however seasoned is just pushing your luck too far. Out of prefference I buy food off street vendors too! But I do believe that you build up resistances..someone solely fed on sanitised homogenised western food probably would react adversely to a violent Nam Prik or certainly Ba lah (fermented fish). Rather like mosquito bites - first year or so nasty red welts - now youd think theyve dissappeared but youre still getting bit but not reacting the same. .

ORIGIONALS: RARE & WONDERFUL REPS:

Ive had several of these - two different Vucains and two different JLC models. They all worked fine but it is more of a buzzing than a 'Grande Sonnerie' !!

HOW TO GET YOUR REPS BACK HOME........ Well there you have it......just piece it together............ A double helping of "napalm-and-ground-glass soup" , all your reps wrapped up in some socks and threwn into your suitcase..........The customs man seeing you sweating and doubled up with abdominal pain will be too busy with the rubber gloves on checking for burst heroin balloons inside you to worry about reps in your case. (and when no drugs are found they'll overlook the reps anyway to assauge your lost dignity) Seriously tho at the first sign of food poisoning its straight to the pharmacy they have wonderful antibiotics - three tabs, one straight away , one that night, one in the morning....kills every organism inside you and all over in a few hours. DONT persevere... or hospitals, drips, and hefty invoices are just over the horizon. .

Pah! The ice thing is a myth........Order the Tom Yum "nam sai, pet pet" and top the adventure off with a plate of "Som Tam Pboo Kem, prik hok met" then youve tasted traditional Thai food (forget all the nonsense green / red curries with carved vegetable crysanthemums offered in large hotels - a Thai wouldnt know what the hell it was). As time is on ration for you forget Patpong, Skytrain. As although valid they both have the potential to decimate your time. Yes there are goodies buried out of view in the bowels of Patpong night market but the plethora of vendors will make sure it takes you a long time to breach thier "fleece the falang" BS and get to decent reps and realistic prices. Plus a wrong move on the Skytrain might put you off track if you are unused to the place. MBK, whilst IMO is not by a long chalk the best rep hunting ground in BKK, will suit you needs quite painlessly. And a trip up to the food court will allow the indulgence in a bit of gastonomy. And if Pugwash's predictions hit you you do have multi toilet facilities on each floor (and a coupla Pharmacies!!)
