  1. I think that would be grounds for an ass whipping. And a 7750 can be modified in a ton of different ways, so an extra button never necessarily does the same thing on two different watches.
  2. The screwdriver part was on a PVD Panerai I have, and I can vouch for it being a very thin layer of DLC. I would like to point out to people that ... I KNOW SANDPAPER WILL SCRATCH IT! I was not expecting it to be bulletproof! This is just something I observed and thought to post it. No, the tang buckle is DLC also.
  3. That would be why, just take the damn thing off before you sand it! I got in a bit of a hurry with mine.
  4. Read Lani's review! The strap is slightly too wide for the buckle.
  5. I think you mean you are not a good fan of chronGRAPHS. Unless you like inaccurate timekeepers that is.
  6. I believe you are thinking of a Panerai.
  7. I know, I expected it to scratch it and started swearing at myself once I did it. The cool thing is you can barely see them unless you know -exactly- where to look and in -exactly- the right light and angle. It is a whole different ball game from my PVD Pam that is marked to hell at the lugs from changing straps. Lanikai - is yours exactly in the same shape as it was the day you got it? I figure when it gets cooler this fall I will have more battle scars on it from the zipper on my bike jacket sleeve.
  8. I don't have photos of it right now and I doubt it would show up, but I got my blacksteel today and went to sand down the strap at work. I did not have my spring bar tools on me to remove the strap to sand it so I was trying to hold the watch so I would not get it with the sandpaper and I missed and slipped the watch on a stroke and hit the side of the case and put some really minor scratches on it with the fine sandpaper. My new watch already has character! It is on the left side of the watch (the non chrono pusher side) and I have a tendency to beat up that part of a watch anyway so it is no big deal, but I wondered how some of you other guys are holding up after six months or so of blacksteel use?
  9. Someone explain the Breitling/Audi connection to me.
  10. I knew Clarkson had a Planet Ocean, and a Bond SMP before that. I belive the SMP broke because he never had it serviced. Never knew about the railmaster however.
  11. I doubt that is going to happen, check out the date this was posted.
  12. The RS2 black is entirely inaccurate. Wrong case material and wrong coating. The gen is titanium.
  13. I know it has been confirmed in another thread, but I wanted to pop back in and confirm that I received mine and it is the correct watch. Service from Hont was great, no issues on the watch. I do have issues with my postal service as it took four days to travel 30 miles to my house from the local large sorting center. Thanks Andreww for the heads up. This is a real beauty, almost makes me wish I had got one sooner, except for the price thing.
  14. That is not entirely correct, Breitling has a statement about that on their website.
  15. You are slightly crazy. Why the hell do you shave your arms?
  16. I love that someone posted that it is fake because of the date wheel. No [censored]! The only way you could find that video is by the link here or on the geek site, nothing about the title would come up in any watch related search. It is completely different from someone posting a video called "Panerai Movement" and showing a 21J Asian.
  17. I wonder why no one has taken the trouble to make a Navitimer accurate to today's rep standards. I think it would sell like mad.
  18. Which dealer? PM if you prefer. I also have the real deal in one of these and would like one to compare and beat to death.
  19. The Zigmeister can do the "stealth" lume, but said that some of it is difficult to apply. I believe the term he used was to compare it to spreading wet sand.
  20. I would not buy a Kobold for a gen, especially my first one. But maybe that is just me.
  21. I don't think you are going to find a convincing rep.
  22. Welcome and good luck. You are doing it right, lots of info to be had here.
  23. He was in the front row flashing his bling at Justin. That was why Justin got beaned with so much trash, the light from Dave reflected into his eyes and he could not see what was coming for him.
  24. I have that Toronto show on DVD. That was the show they did to promote Canadian tourism in the aftermath of the SARS scare.
