  1. I think the 33 marker is actually there but hidden behind one of the hands.
  2. You need bigger wrists. I think what she is trying to tell you is you need to work on that I haven't had that problem before on any of mine. What are the pillows out of? Are they like a firm plastic inside? Mine have been like foam or cotton inside (probably not cotton but some sort of soft material) and I just squish them in there. Call it good. I will post photos of what I am talking about later on.
  3. That's what happens after a day of shooting photos lol and leaving the extra battery pack in the car lol. Should have checked it before leaving the car but that's life lol. the 3 megapixel difference isn't going to be noticeable in everyday photographs so I wouldn't really use that as a deciding factor. I would probably still go with the T2i, but if you aren't going to really use the video part of the camera the T1i and put the money saved into a flash or nice lens (depending on what you are going to shoot lol)
  4. I will be soon lol. Going to see what the bank statement looks like after I pick up the new phone in June.
  5. I am thinking about keeping mine, the htc evo will be out on june 4.
  6. I brought camera stuff to work today because a coworker is also looking at those same cameras, well also the 50D. Personally if you can handle the size of the T2i (550D) it is a great camera. I told the co-worker that the 50D is decent but the 60D should be coming out and would be the one to get if he wanted something bigger. I don't like how the T2i feels, its a little small. But I feel it is an amazing camera. As far as Nikon vs Canon vs Pentax vs other (lol) I really feel if you stick with the major ones (Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sigma) you are going to be ok and finding lenses shouldn't be a problem. Most of the D-SLR cameras will have some sort of battery pack which is good and bad. You can take lots of photographs with them but when you are traveling this means you need a charger to carry around and forget about slapping in some double A's unless you get an external grip with it that allows you to. Most packs are easily found online and should be reasonably priced. I always have extras and carry them around lol. So get one that fits you. I would check out the local camera store try them all out. use the menus. Ask about accessories like a battery grip or an extra battery back. Then ask the sales person if they can show you how to change the white balance on a specific camera. Then try to use the menu yourself to see what ones are easiest to use. I went with canon because of a few reasons. First was I had canon lenses already, this was probably the biggest reason for the decision. Second was I knew others with canon products and could borrow things like lenses before buying. if you were thinking of taking some macro shots like really close up of the watches you will also want to pick up either a reversing ring or extension tubes. I have the kenko set. I love taking photos but I don't get to do it nearly as much as I used to. I like www.dpreview.com and photography-on-the.net/forum/ The second link is really canon focused or so it seems to me lol. Both are great for finding information out and reading reviews of the different ones before getting one. you can take bad photographs even with a nice D-SLR also, lol. another bad one probably not safe for work or little kids.
  7. How do the clasps wear on these things. Is the gold going to wear off? I have another gold plated watch and the gold on the clasp sort of wears thin and in some places is starting to wear off. Same problem with one of these?
  8. Mesh without a question. I don't know how they wear but it sure makes it look much better. And it probably protects the wrist when you are fighting the sharks lol.
  9. Not on the wrist... I type a ton at work so I usually take it off to save the clasp from scratches lol. I have been doing that with all of the watches lately.
  10. What are you looking to pay for one. I might sell my non 3G one if I can pick up a 3G equipped one. I will let you know this weekend. mine is nearly perfect and can come with the zagg protector on it.
  11. lol. Thanks. Thinking I might get one of these things still. Have to decide airfare to vegas or a new watch lol.
  12. So the weight on this thing would be off? and shipping pretty reliable to the US lol. I don't have a hublot yet but I am looking at this one.
  13. I had a yellow Seiko back about 5 or 6 years ago. I have a red momo with titanium and carbonfiber its a good 5 or so years old. I like the Orange Seiko now and someone posted I think a green one and it also looked very nice.
  14. The 3B unlimited with at&t is exactly that. It is unlimited month to month. Now with a mobile phone (what I have and use when I am not around wifi) they call it unlimited but I believe most carriers limit it to 5GB a month. I don't know if they start to charge overages if you go over that but I believe they are unlimited up to a point. With the ipad plan it is unlimited with no exceptions. 50GB or whatever its all good with that plan, at least that is what they are saying right now. I suspect it will change at some point. Personally I wouldn't get the 3G version unless you wanted to pay $120 more. If you didn't have a smartphone already with a data plan you probably should look at it though. But for me, the non-3G pared up with my current unlimited data plan is fine and I will be super happy when the 4G phone is out so I can use the 4G network and get much faster downloads. The big down side is the battery drain on the mobile phone when I am using it as a router. However I just bring my charger to work and plug it in and carry a car charger all the time. My phone dies quickly while I am using it at the router hotspot probably 1 hour maybe 2 hours tops. I don't know how well the mifi, and the other 4G router they have out work with battery life but I am suspect on how long they would last. With the 3G ipad people are getting 8-10 hours with 3G on. So that is another advantage to going that route.
  15. Very nice pickup there.
  16. I love mine while I am sitting at on the chair watching television. heck even while I am sitting at work works great. I have a smart phone (palm pro with sprint) so I didn't get the 3G version. I don't really know that I will especially with the HTC EVO coming out this summer. Since it will have 4G I suspect it will be good. Linked to my phone using sprint mobile network.
  17. My recent purchase has that problem and in some instances it is shorter depends on how I leave the watch. I have the same sort of wearing habits also (desk job). My panerai ferrari I picked up seems to have this problem. I have been waiting to get my breitling SOSF back from vac so I can send the ferrari in to be serviced. I think a service should clear up the problem and it is probably a good idea to have them serviced anyhow lol. Now my Graham ChronoFighter I picked up a while back (before I joined rwg, I bought it off a member on TRC who was local) doesn't have this problem. It will actually last 20+ hours. So I don't know if the ones in the watches now are different or from different sources or maybe sold needing a service. I can't really give much advice on what you should do to resolve the problem but I will say that I don't think it should be normal and I think it is expected with the A7750 lol.
  18. I clicked on upgrade my membership link along the top. I suspect the same will work for you also. However this forum will have the answer you are looking for.
  19. Would that go through the coating on the case also? Really don't know what caused it but I am sure it is an interesting story.
  20. Ahh... I guess I haven't noticed it because the ones I have with the 7750s don't have dates lol (graham chronofighter, think its a 7750 and the panerai ferrari). Do the genuine ones do this also? I think having the date like that would bug the heck out of me I guess if I didn't look at the time between 10 and 2 I would be ok.
  21. Does the date always start turning that early on these models? Just curious.
  22. My guess is a failed attempt at removing the coating. acid (crystal seems ok, so I don't think it was soaked in it at least not over the top), sand or bead blasting (again crystal appears ok, so I am thinking taped over it or something else was done). I was thinking a fire also but then again the crystal I think heat high enough to do that with the finish would have done something with the crystal.
  23. the member with 25000 as there member number is http://www.rwgforum.com/user/25000-jugghaid/ But it is weird that it doesn't show the real number of members as members. Also the member number is nearing 30k. But lots of single posters or no posters lol
  24. eagerly waiting for the sale thread lol. I will probably have to sell off all of my other blue ones so i can pick up this thing. Looks amazing.
  25. is the appstore the only way to get an app on your apple device (ipod/itouch/ipad). I would have thought someone woudl figure a way to sync them or create a file you can transfer to the device to install it.
