  1. I am sooooo close to ordering this one with black dial. Just waiting for a confirmation from AP experts that this is visually accurate. Anyone?

    it has the metal rings and to me it looks very off.

    we need to hear pam1a one this one.

  2. I hear ya bud,

    I have a puppy, always loved bulldoggs, but their health issues kinda made me feel sick, why breed a dog that cant breath? or cant stand to be

    in the sun for a reasonable period of time?

    I also thought about the staffordshire bull terrior, but it seems all the thugs round here have them on a lead.

    I ended up going for whats called a Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldogge, this is a bulldog of old, how they were 100 years ago before they started to

    breed it with the pug.

    There is all kinds in the mix with the olde Tyme, but essentially you have a much healthier, fitter heavier dog, mine however has 25% mixed Mastiff

    in him too, this should keep the line going in the direction they want.

    Infact mine was the only pup that did not have the "smashed in the face" look, he has a more elegant mastiff looking head.

    He should end up smilar to the American Bulldog type breed but not as heavy....30-42kgs is where he should fall into.

    He's 14 weeks now, but underweight, he needs another few Kgs on him yet but weighs 9.2kgs today.

    I had an encounter today, from some hoodie scum smoking a spliff, covered in a rash and scratches, blood shot eyes and

    obviously high.......he was in a bus stop waiting for a lift, he stopped me as I was walking Cody my Pup, he asked the usual

    "Ere maaate is that a Staff?

    Erm.......No its not.

    Aaaah maaate looks wicked, waz E Much dosh?"

    No. (I lied)

    "I add wun of dem American Bulldog fukkas, was a monsta, we fed him raw meat so blood would drip down his chin, would

    av Alsations and labs, and staffs, would tear em apart, we used him in dog fights, me mate got him to bite once an it

    bit his shoulder, ripped a monsta chunk off him, and chomped it down, so me mate pulled out a gun and shot it dead,

    I woz like.......Oh well.......means I dont av to put the f****er down now hehehe"

    I was stood there thinking..........is this really happening?, he just told me he uses his dog in dog fights, and his friend shot

    it with a handgun!?

    WTF?!

    I just made my excuses and left, I just cant believe some tool would say something like that to an obvious dog lover walking

    his 12 week old puppy, it also offends me that he felt he could relate to me!

    I need to change my image if scum like that think I'm on the same level, or maybe the drugs elevated him to working class?

    Personally I hope his trigger happy friend trips and blows them both through the head.

    Great dog their bro.

    I know that breed looks great.

    I think bulldogs have been breed to the border line of retardnes to be honest, but the old style bulldogs are very nice.

    Cheers

    I agree...a great post Dani!

    Near where I live many of my neighbors shun the thought of rescue or welfare dogs aiming for the prestige of a pedigree dog...

    Genetics tells us that differentiation and diversification in the gene pool provides the healthiest dogs (or anything for that matter- look at the British royal family!!)...so I've never understood the prestige of owning something that is genetically predisposed to health problems and pain...

    Very true bro.

    This thread i think is not to sensitive subject for rwg, i think this post shows a very big problem and will not cause any harm among us members.

    Cheers

    I love my English Bulldog, and my vet loves me!

    For me although I knew they are not a healthy breed they fit my lifestyle.

    I used to own a mixed breed, the only benefit to a pedigree dog is that you have more control over what to expect them to be when they grow up.

    Each dog has their own personality but the specific breeds have certain traits that usually stay consistant.

    Unfortunately I need to leave a dog alone for most of the day and this breed really does not need exercise during the day, it would be cruel for me to get an active breed. My bulldog is content lying on my lap on the couch when I am home and lying on the couch by self when I am at work.

    Cheers,

    My uncle has a bulldog so i know the breed, and i do what others dont do to me i respect your choice, i dont agree on it but i rescpect it..

    But i wish more bulldog owners would stop and look at where this breed has gone the past 100years, really only one way downwards and that is just facts.

    I hope yours will stay healty :)

    Cheers

  3. good eagle eye Dani.. this is the genuine close up.. it appears it has to do more with the strap... the width of the end stiching rather than position of the lugs.. dunno

    Edit add:.. to clarify .. it is more with the pin position on the strap not the case.

    Ok thanks Lani.

    Ill get this and a gen strap.

    Cheers

  4. You know, I really like this watch and this pricey new version is driving me crazy.

    Andrew has the same model at US$ 468 http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=3830

    But also have a previous version for US$ 348 http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=3420

    As far as I could find out the differences are:

    1.- Titanium crown and pushers like the gen

    2.- Date Wheel is as gen

    3.- Individual serial numbers

    Also the new version state 39 mm diameter versus 44 mm in the "cheaper" one. I don't know if this is a typo error or not, but 44 is closer to the gen as I know.

    So, I think US$ 120 is way too much for those sightless improvements, considering 2 out of 3 are on the back so nobody is going to notice other than you. Don't you think so ?

    The IWC purist are not going to like this comment, but I considering to order the PVD model ( http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=2594 ) for just US$ 268. Why ? It has the right price for a A7750 watch, it's kind a 85% close to the gen and you get a free 10 o'clock pusher to play with it. Seriously, I don't think nobody is going to call out on this rep, due the gen is quite rare and the rep is really nice.

    :rofl:
