  1. I have the UPO (Planet Ocean 45.5mm) black bezel/orange numbers so I have limited knowledge on this from personal experience, but this forum helped get my knowledge go up a few notches on reps so here it goes:

    *Omega Planet Ocean (Any size) - Don't get the Chrono...

    *Omega Double Eagle.

    *Any Panerai.

    *Breitling Navitimer in SS.

    *Breitling SuperOcean.

    *Cartier Pasha.

    *Rolex Yachtmaster (New) from Angus aka PureTime.

    *Rolex Datejust or Day-Date in SS.

    *Rolex Submariner.

    *AP Royal Oak.

    *Rolex Air-King.

  2. Very nice! You might stand a decent chance of getting your watches noticed and more importantly, appreciated. ;)

    (Sorry if that sounded rude -- I know very little about El Salvador. I know more about Nicaragua and Guatemala. Apparently, I heard that Guatemala has the largest Porsche dealership per capita in the Americas? On RWI)

    Nope, that wasn't rude at all so don't worry :). Actually my UPO get's a lot of "Wow a Planet Ocean, I've only seen them in the U.S.!" or "I just LOVE that Omega, what model is it and how much did it cost?" :D - The people here in the city know their watches, specially brands like Omega, Cartier, Patek P. and Rolex, etc.

    Even if you go to one of the many towns you will have someone say to you "wow, cool Omega!"; I'm a known Omega wearer among my peers so that's why I took the dive for a rep. They just won't question it, the bastards! :p

    You guys from the U.S. (actually all foreigners that don't come as if they were hippies :lol:) have an advantage, if you come here with a, let's say, Hublot Big Bang rep in Rose Gold, no one will ask you if that's real or not (only me because I'm in this game also :D), they will just simply admire it, so if you plan to come here to show off, this is the place! B)

    *About Guatemala having the biggest Porsche dealership I truly don't know, but you do see a lot of Porsche's around there. Overpriced BTW.

    *-Edited because one comment from mine was a bit snotty...

  3. My UPO Lite is great, just love it, and has fooled the AD reps when I went to check on the prices of the leather straps for the Planet Oceans. I highly recommend it, the only issue I had was minimal (seconds hand stopped at the 10 o'clock position) and was fixed by a local watch smith in less than 2 days (he had a lot of work to get done). :)

  4. :lol: I love adult swim, although here in El Salvador adult swim sucks! and I really mean it! The only 3 descent cartoons we get from the US are Robot Chicken, Harvey B.M A.A.L, & the Venture Bros. - Then we only get pure crap from Canada like "Homemade movies", "Bromwell high", etc. :(

    I miss the U.S... Thankfully I'm headed back next year for College, Huah! :D

    Dude, who hasn't clicked on Sextoons at least once in their internet life? And why stop at just childhood cartoons!

    I know, but the beauty of this website is that they don't stop just there, you even have Erin from E-surance :lol: - The 'Toons' Section is just the tip of the Iceberg on that website, it has tons of stuff, but what makes this website so sweet is the comments left by the users, friggin' hilarious!

  5. Cartoons were an important part of our childhood, they were wholesome, no swear words, no sexual content, no violence that would be dubbed as inappropriate, etc. Well, I'm on an important mission to ruin all those wonderful memories off your head! :D

    Click HERE to Ruin your Childhood Memories!

    Choose your favorite Toon from your childhood as it gets molested :lol:

    **CAUTION! Most of the content is sexual in nature, I didn't see anything in the rules regarding links to such websites, so if it is against the rules please delete the Thread.

  6. A good relume done by the respected modders on these boards should not take that long to charge. For instance this picture was taking after dial charged under 60 watt bulb for 60 seconds.

    Panerai-111H-Mod.jpg

    On a modded watch if you wear it all day in well luminated area you will find that the dial should have sufficient lume to make it throught the night.

    Holy Crap! Looks great! Who did it and how much id it cost?

  7. Just read on a website that you need to charge it for 30min to get a full charge, can someone please explain this to me? I really don't know how much time to charge it, how much it will last, etc. I searched to no avail, if anyone could chip in I would appreciate it! :)

    *BTW the only rep I have is the UPO 'Lite' if that's of any help. The lume is kinda weak when left by itself, but when 'charged' directly next to a light source for 1 minute it becomes very bright! :lol: Then it slowly fades until it goes normal in 3-5 minutes.

  8. I ran into this website a while back and tried its solution for removing scratches on Brushed S.S. bands like on the Seamaster and the Planet Oceans, it actually works! I removed the huge scuff and scratches my U-PO 'Lite' had which were very annoying to look at, the scuffs looked like a smashed window, and some scratches were medium/deep, I brushed for about 10 min. (Brush in one direction only!) And voila! The bracelet looked brand new! I had to send him a thank you email, this saved me a trip to the watch-smith... again!

    I accidentally bought the pad/sponge duo with lemon scent, :lol: , lemon scented scratch remover!

    For $0.98 a pair it was a bargain! Good for about 100 scratch repairs approximately each. ^_^

    Sorry about the crappy pics, no before pics also, sorry...

  9. It's weird how some people criticize religious people for trying to convert others when they spend so much time trying to convince others themselves there isn't a higher power up there, a.k.a. God. ;)

    I just say 'go with the flow', don't try to turn somebody into something they aren't, however, if they do annoy you with their propaganda after you politely told them you're not interested then [censored] slap them! :D

  10. All religions have their wackos, Christians have the KKK & Nazis (if I'm not mistaken) and Muslims have, well... most of themselves, and that video made me nod and laugh like crazy :D, I'm a Christian, I believe in God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit & the Virgin Mary, etc. However I don't go around thinking I have privileges because I am Christian, I don't harass people they're making god mad, I've had pre-marital sex (and wtf not?!), I lie (white lies, big lies when I'm late at work :p), I love porn, I'm pro choice regarding abortions (Well it's THEIR body, sorry if it goes against anyones principles), I LOVE guns, I am for the death penalty (Smoke the bastards!).

    I absolutely HATE when people try to convert others into something they're not (Vegetarians and Jehovah Witness specially who cannot keep their mouth shut), I love booze, etc. In other words I go with the flow while letting others leave their life peacefully, it's their life not mine, they're not doing anything wrong, nor are they offending me, so WTF should I bother them?

    So do I feel offended by this video? HELL NO! It's true! A ring for pledging virginity? [censored]ing ridiculous! Jews feeling as if they've suffered enough? Er... no offense but wouldn't those be your long dead relatives? You've been living the sweet life, and you're not in the middle of a war on the U.S. so what gives? Go to Israel and THEN you can [censored] about being in the middle of a war (BTW GO ISRAEL! :D - We support Israel here in El Salvador).

    ANYWAYS, great stand up, loved it! :)

    As for others insulting other religion, hey, it's a free country in which you live in, so WTF not?! :D

    Just try and not keep it personal guys ;)

  11. That's great. For you. How about the other people who got totally screwed because they bought something expecting it to be something, but wound up with something else? Or who paid for a watch to be serviced, but received one that was untouched? The point of these threads, as several people have said, is to look beyond your own experiences, and consider what has happened to others as well, and consider what is best for the community as a whole :)

    I don't want to start a fight, I'm just posting my 2-cents. So just take my experience as one more point towards Andrew. B)

  12. Andrews customer service is superb, I couldn't be happier, ordered 2 PO (one 42.5mm version & a UPO 'lite'), the UPO had a problem where the seconds hand would stop @ the 10 o'clock position, talked to Andrew and will pay for the repair from my local watch-smith ($30 total), both PO's run great now (42.5mm came ticking since it arrived :D - It's a gift btw, so friggin hard to give away after seeing it!), the UPO has no aesthetic problems, it's an excellent rep, and I couldn't be happier!

    BTW - watches arrived in 4 days after being shipped, if that's not fast, then I don't know what it is!

    Andrew replied VERY fast, usually 5-10 min after sending the email.

    So as soon as THAT kind of service keeps up, I'm buying from them, of course, also as long as they don't increase prices out of the blue 'just because'... :p

  13. How about the constellation series then? Simplistic design that doesn't scream "OMFG look at me I'm the secx!!!!". I wouldn't say the Planet Oceans are flashy, they just happen to look great :D! Flashy would be the Gaytona:

    130789-19306.jpg

    I can see the ad for the Gaytona now: "Are you a sorry ass rapper feeling like everyone's above you? want to show off to the world and make it ask "wtf!?"... need to feel like you have a bigger penis? Then the Gaytona is for you!
