I have the exact same watch in blue... it's really, really amazing! Movement seems to be pretty good too...

Hahaha love it! Thanks BT!

Auction sentry eh? I'll have to look into it! Thanks O/S!!

Benz is a great decision... my dad had an S-class in the mid 90's... they took the chassis for that off of a Panzer.

Can you guys buy Infiniti in the UK? I feel like it's just badged as Nissan... In any case, I'd echo the Jag and add that I've got an Infiniti G series and the new Mazda6 and both are a blast to drive.. Mazda RX8 is pretty cool http://www.mazda.co.uk/showroom/rx-8/ Good luck!

If it's 5 secs fast you might be able to drop it a bit by leaving it face down while you're sleeping...

Interesting...and fairly cheap... I'm probably going to purchase one.

Hmm interesting... Depending on the dial/movement etc I'd expect you to be able to get 300-325 for it on the boards... also depends on the mkt. Good luck!

5-6 day pr? Hm

I don't get any cheese Picture link is down...

Visible in house movements seem to be the way to go in the current wave of reps to prevent counterfeits or, at least, make it easy to spot them as such... I wouldn't be surprised, given a year or two (or three) what the Chinese will be able to do with movements... if they're capable of tourbillions who says they can't replicate a movement like the Rolex 3135 fairly accurately? We're already seeing cutout rotors and maroon reversing wheels on some very very cheap movements... if the last few years have shown us anything it should be that the sky's the limit in this crazy industry...

Not really my thing but really cool watch! I could never pull off 50mm comfortably but there are members here that can do reluming... might be worth a shot if you really like the watch!

Haha, agreed!! And yes, general has been a little quiet lately!

Just had a few drinks (read- a few for every hundred points the Dow dropped yesterday...) and I just watched Sunshine again.... Highly rec'd!

Very well said FTE... I believe I've mentioned it before but it drives me nuts when people are flying off the handle at CEO's and executives whose banks were destroyed by market speculation and then going crazy because of the compensation packages... where were they years ago when such agreements were signed? When the CEO's were hired? Hell, there was no oversight at all because people's money was up...now that it's down there's a witch hunt...

Hmm I like this topic: A recent favorite is Sunshine... it's sci fi meets horror http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448134/ Also, saw Vanilla Sky recently and really liked that... http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=vanil...amp;x=0&y=0

Wow...

My sincere condolences...she sounds like a wonderful woman.

Brilliant, simply brilliant!!!

Haha and BOOM my USPIX and UFPIX were WAY down yesterday (like 50%) seeing as they are somewhat inversely correlated to market performance...

I had the mineral crystal version...sold it off but wish I hadn't...it is a great watch...wear it well!!!

Beautiful watch...it'll certainly get noticed!

BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL here in Boston... I was on Newbury today and then had dinner in Harvard sq. and it was THE perfect autumn day... Also, use protection when you're around the hoarfrost...

Pictures please!

Hmm... Well the younger crowd SHOULD be ok if they're not pulling money out anytime soon... I'd strongly suggest looking into CD's under 250K with an interest rate of around 4.2 if you can get it (whatever, as long as it's higher than inflation). I've lost a bunch of money in stocks but I looked on the bright side and figured it was a good time to pick up some GE and other stocks at pretty good prices..somewhat risky but I doubt GE will be going under anytime soon...their prices were up 13% Friday after beating projections... I see a lot of people investing in US treasury bonds due to the fact that they carry just about zero risk...while that's true, the interest rate on them (due to the demand) is lower than inflation...so you actually end up losing money by investing in US treasury stock at the moment. At the same time, I've had some luck in UltraShort funds in my mutual fund portfolio... I was fortunate enough to pick up UFPIX and USPIX in my portfolio which have increased 135% and 62% since I've owned them basically erasing major losses in my stock portfolio... some of my stocks have cut or eliminated dividends which sucks but is probably necessary. I think a major thing to look to is the finacial status of the American auto industry. GM is about to tank with Ford not far behind (there's even talks of a merger...). Chrysler is held by Cerebus and so not too much is known about their profitability but they must be hurting...if they go under, millions of jobs will be lost not to mention the financing woes from their financial divisions... All in all, I do think there are some great companies that will weather the storm (Especially defensive stocks like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Raytheon, etc) like GE, (hopefully) JPM, Goldman Sachs (another hopeful) and I think this should serve as an eye opener that people need to ensure that they have a diversified portfolio... blended mutual funds incorporating stocks and bonds are generally thought of as "overly conservative" for people under 35-40 however I've been very conservative with the majority of my investment money and inheritance money and while some of my funds have performed very well in the past few years it's tough to see plunges like those we've seen the past few weeks erase major gains. If it wasn't for the money I had pumped into UF and US PIX, I'd probably be much, much worse off...those two have basically balenced out my total losses YTD. My humble strategy with CD's is to invest in 10-12 month CD's, purchasing 2 minor per month and 4 major per year (Major being over 10K). Each "major" I purchase at the end of the fiscal quarter so that 4 times a year, I have the option to withdraw that money (in a pinch) or roll it over for another year if the interest rate is good... While the historical rate of return for the stock market is around 8%, we're not going to see that this year so CD's and a good blend of mutual funds tend to alliviate some of the headaches of an unpredictable market imho.
