Back on topic however, I would really love to see photos of the bezel this guy broke to see how the ceramic is constructed in comparison to the rep.

BT - no need to apologize. It was a misunderstanding and I read it as such.

Why do we care and get sucked into the hype? I can't comment, I am as amazed as you and they are not the only offenders.

Why is Paris Hilton famous? Why does anyone care about Britney Spears and her ex-husband? It baffles the mind.

People used to be famous because they were great musicians, actors, athletes, or performed some heroic act. Now people are famous for being famous and nothing else.

By-Tor,

No hard feelings at all. I should have tagged that post with <Sarcasm> and </Sarcasm> tags. I was not trying to make it a serious post.

I love hockey but don't quite live in the part of the country I should for that sport. My brother used to talk a fair amount of [censored] about soccer until he went to college and started dating one of the star players on the girl's soccer squad. After that his only complaints are that she wore his ass out in the sack.

EDITED TO ADD:

I also did not know that so many people came on and slammed soccer. I can see where you would misread my statement in that situation.

BT -

I was not attempting to have an aggressive tone, I was trying to make an allusion to of the fact that all 99.9 percent of Americans know about soccer is David Beckham because his wife was a Spice Girl and runs around LA with her [censored] half out.

And I forgot about the soccer player who went on a high speed chase in LA and blew his brains out. People cared about that one too.

..... Maradona is still the biggest figure of the biggest sport in the world. And yeah, he's a hero and a villain... kind of Elvis of football.

Yeah, but Madonna is really losing her looks these days. Plus I really like Guy Richie movies and she totally trashed him in the press. She really is batshit crazy with that Kabbalah [censored]. And the whole A-Rod deal? Forget about it!

Wait, soccer. [censored].

Um, I am American and will now bow out so you can talk "football"

Me too. And I'm bummed out over it. I never liked the Yachtmaster for this reason, but acknowledged they were apropos to that genre of the 'America's Cup' crowd. Largely pretentious. Then the Yachtmaster II; Well! Ahoy Polloi! and thought, "Uh oh".

Shame. For years, the Panerai guys on the boards would look down at Rolex as zeitgeist yuppie fodder for would be Real Estate and Stock Broker wannabes. Considering most of my heros in this world (Col. Yeager, Paul Newman, Eric Clapton) as well many infamous anti-heros (Che`, Armando Maradona, Yngwie Malmsteen) wore them it was easy to dismiss. Now I think they may have a strong case. Sigh..........

Us Omega guys consder them both as posers.

Casio G-shock mudman. No photos, but who cares, it is a Casio.

Why is this not in Off Topic?

A seamaster with a speedmaster strap

Yes, Omega really makes those.

Nevermind, I missed the clasp.

Who is that dealer, can't say I recognize it.

If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

I have a very bad and off color joke I could add on this thread, but I won't

I know the last one, not an "e" in the paragraph.

There are big warnings on these sites not to take a rep into an AD. I suppose being an ass and calling should fall under that as well.

I believe Toyota also did this for their Crown auto in Japan, I am sure it did not cost this much.

Price aside, if I had the money for the car I would buy the watch in a heartbeat.

Assuming it is the old one, which it appears to be, it is pretty good rep. Much better than the new one. Makes me regret selling mine.

If I were you I would acquire a DSN display caseback to wear with that. Yes you would have rep parts on a gen, but that movement is too beautiful to hide, almost a sin.

first paypal i guess but except if it is a big dealer i wouldn't expect to get anything back...

then CC...the things that sucks is that paypal don;t like people going over their head because they are the one losing money in that situation....be ready to lose your paypal account over that

I thought I had read where if you start the Paypal process you can't dispute through your cc later. I don't know if that holds true or if they enforce it. For the thee hundred bucks that I would get back I would gladly sacrifice my Paypal account.

I should add that I really don't expect to receive an honest answer from the seller as they told me last week that it was already sent even though the postmark shows that it was not true. I had to ask four or five times to get that lie out of them.

First what has the seller said in reply to this?

Ken

Nothing yet. It took an act of god to get it shipped. I won it on the 19th, they did not ship until the 2nd. Got it today.

Hi all,

I bought something on that big ass auction site and it took almost three weeks to arrive and was not what was described (different size, in bad shape, etc.). Should I go through the Paypal dispute process or should I go through my credit card dispute process? I imagine that Paypal is only out for their best interests and that my credit card might be the safer bet, your thoughts?

I was willing to give Obama a chance, but two weeks in, things aren't looking all that great.

First we had Bill Richardson, then Geitner, then Daschel, then Killefer.... Geez.. what

I am sure it sold, so more power to them.

Joe the Plumber for Secretary of the Treasury!

He only owed $1,200 and the media reamed his conservative backside. If a Dem makes a "mistake" 100 times bigger?

*crickets chirping*

He is now an adviser to the Republican party on the economy. I wish I was kidding.
