What a great role model

Palin's own mother stated in an interview that she's not convinced and unsure if she will vote for McCain.

She added: "I'm not sure what she brings to the ticket other than she's a woman and a conservative"

And in an interview with Cindy McCain this morning:

Asked about Palin's national security experience, Cindy McCain could not come up with anything beyond the fact that, after all, her state is right next to Russia. "You know, the experience that she comes from is, what she has done in government -- and remember that Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia."

There are spring bars on both sides of the strap. The pics I put in the thread are not working for some reason, but I just took pics of my gen strap which I am assuming is exactly the same as the rep. A spring bar tool really makes this alot easier, and remember cut a little off, put it back on and see how it fits. If it doesn't take another little section off and repeat.The red circles show were the springbars are

Beautiful piece. @ TT, if thats what the AD quoted you than thats a very fair price. $4,200 is about 1k below retail on the navi world (assuming it was on leather). Grey market price is $4,400 for the silver dial on leather

I think his selection of Palin is really insulting, especially to women. Basically he's counting on women being so stupid that they will vote for him just because the simple fact that his running mate is a women. He's in for a big surprise. Not to mention that her views are not inline with most women. Creationism in public schools? Opposed to abortion, even after rape? None of my female friends are falling for this gimmick. She has no foreign policy experience, in fact just weeks ago she said in an interview "What exactly is it that the VP does?" along with "The position of VP doesn't seem productive"..Oh wait, but she has 5 kids so people will fall in love with her!! Come on!! This is basically a concession on Mccain's part, had he picked a conventional white male VP he would have no chance of winning this race - he needed to do something drastic. In change vs. experience elections, change always wins. So he needed to jump on the change bandwagon.. I can just see it now:

"The Maverick and the MILF"

a little bit of bling today

Perhaps 1 too many acronyms, and I don't know if this has already been posted but this is the gen limited SA coming out. Maybe after the factories perfect the DLC process they'll get around to this one. It would for sure be a hot seller. Looks very similar to the skyland BS - the only noticeable difference besides the size is the larger lume markers.

i know i'm a little behind the times here, but i just picked up this steelfish, so im wearing this today

and will wear 1 of these 2 gens tomorrow

Lookin' good lan! There are spring bars on each side which need to be removed in order to cut the strap. It took me awhile to figure this out on mine. This may help:

The spring bars are were the red circle is

Thats not mine lan my arm is not that hairy and thats a black dial mines slate grey

MP you're right.. It's closer to gunmetal. They kind of change colors depending on the lighting and angle. It's a particularly cool effect that it gives. Also something I noticed is that that the half of the subdial (the non-guilloche'd half) has vertical lines on my gen, although very light and hard to see, the rep it doesn't have this texture - the non-textured half of the subdial is the same as the rest of the dial on the rep. This is not something you can notice unless your face is 1cm from the dial. I might be wrong because I haven't seen macro shots of the rep dial but it doesn't look like the reps have these vertical lines on the non-texutred halfs

MP, i'm looking at my gen slate grey right now and the rings around the subdials are definitely silver not black...Probably the crazy lighting they have in AD's that made it look a bit different

here's a few closeup pics

Dave, very sorry to hear about your loss - keep your head high and cherish the good times you spent with her - those memories will last a lifetime. If this happened to my little one I would not know what to do, my deepest sympathies go out to you and the family. Take care buddy, we're all here for ya

wearing the gen avenger skyland today

If you make it private it won't show up in google, nor will it show up in a photobucket search. Goto photobucket > find stuff > recent images .. I've seen a ton of replica pictures show up there. Sure if they have access to this site it's quite easy but might aswel take all the precautions we can for people who don't know about these forums

It's not hard...

@BT- I agree but this is a close knit community..Chances are if someone had 6 gen breitling's we would know about it and we could easily pin-pint the culprit..But who knows, we might not. Hopefully most of the members here respect the secrecy and recognize that it would not be in the forum's best interest to make a post like that on the gen forums

The guy who posted the pictures is definitely not a member on any of these forum's, he has 6 real breitling's. Doubt he has any reason to buy a rep..Probably just an occasional browser

This is a good opportunity to tell everyone to make their photobucket accounts PRIVATE

heres my gen skyland on my new ocean racer strap

on ss

the obligatory wrist shot

yeh i agree diamonds and rubber don't mix that well..it looks very good on the skyland tho..and those are real g color diamonds

just picked up this ocean racer strap from my AD...Here are some pics of it on my gen skyland/evo..What do you guys think?? Look's really hot on the skyland and so-so on the evo IMO

gen skyland today

No pug that won't fit, and it's the wrong dial anyways

gen skyland

for dinner later I will switch to this

some new pictures

giving the pilot bracelet a rest on my gen evo

Lookin' good lani! The skyland is very versatile and looks good on almost anything. Try it on the leather, you will love it While it's definitely a tool watch on the SS, it add's some class when you put it on leather

Here's my gen on some leather
