  1. I enjoyed I am legend too....not a patch on 28 days later(not weeks...defianatly not weeks!) which it was trying to emulate or 'rep' though.
  2. Yeah i have mine come to work too...only going to be so long before she stops saying 'They all look the same to me' that one has kept me out of the dog hose for the past few months but i'm sure it wont last!
  3. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your positive responses.I was dead nervous about upping my pics but now I'm glad i did It has been an expensive three months and i am sure my girlfriend is going to kill me when she clicks as to how many new watches have appeared...but she is happy with her Gucci for the moment @chrgod. I love both the evo and the blackbird (brushed bracelet in the air on its way to me as i type).The blackbird dial is amazing and i love the big date but that pearl takes some ignoring! The evo is a classy watch on leather and i think is very accurate to the gen, a sales rep in an AD i went into to try the BB before i ordered it commented on how he loved the look of the brown leather with the slate dial so i let him try it on and he didn't flinch, so either he is massively inexperienced or its a spot on rep! That said i think the BB just has it in the presence stakes. Be lucky people
  4. So, I have been floating around the forum for about three months now and have used the knowledge i have found to purchase a few watches and thought it was time i shared my collection. The photography is pretty lousy as i don't have a very good camera (just a Sony point and shoot) but i have read Pugwashes tutorial and tried my best, Thanks Pugwash for the tutorial Hope you enjoy the pics and any comments are welcome, either good or bad...we all have to start somewhere right? Many thanks for all the great posts you guys have made...they really helped me in deciding where to throw my hard earned money ! Thanks for looking and be lucky all
  5. Thanks rod. Just got mine and i prefer the bracelet also (have tried it on black ali deployment ant brown leather tang). This is a nice quick easy mod that I'm not to scared to try....thanks again
  6. Thanks guys for your positive responses...dont think this one will be off this week
  7. My new SFSO, kindly sold to me by Dutchy...Cheers buddy
  8. I know its wrong..but the watch on my right hand will last for weeks on the power reseve without any manual winding....*spank me maggie , spank me*
  9. My goodness!..the replica factory really worked overtime on this one Gorgeous my Friend.Congrats.
  10. It's a rep. I spotted this one last time it was sold and was too late to tell ebay but informed the guy that won it to get it checked by an AD. This he did and they confirmed it was a rep I cant believe he is trying again!
  11. I have both and i think that the aquaracer is better quality and feels more solid (fooled an AD too!). That said the UPO is also a nice watch if you have the wrist for it and has the advantage of the swiss movement. If i had to make the choice between the two i would go for the Tag..but then that is just my opinion. Good luck with your purchase
  12. European Heighten Threat Levels: The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz began in 1940 and tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance". The last time the British issued "A Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666. Also, the French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability. It's not only the English and French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides." The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose". Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels. The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. No offense intended to any nationality(I'm in there myself!) Happy Christmas all
  13. After a busy evening Father Christmas decides to stop off at a pub for a well earned drink. Whilst sat at the bar, chatting to the barman, a tramp(bum) runs in and asks the barman for a toothpick. 'No, get out of here you filthy tramp!' shouts the barman. Father Christmas reasons with the barman and reminds him of the season of goodwill to all men, the barman relents and hands the tramp a toothpick, the tramp snatches the toothpick and runs out of the pub. Five minutes later the same thing happens, a different tramp runs in asks for a toothpick, the barman gives him one and he runs out. This carries on for half an hour until another tramp runs in and asks for a straw. 'A straw?' asks the barman, 'All the others wanted toothpicks, whats going on?' 'Well' replies the tramp 'One of Santa's reindeer has been sick........... and all the best bits have gone!'

    Q: Why do nuns have flat hair? A: Force of habit. Happy Christmas all
  16. A pedestrian is walking past a mental institute, and in the distance hears the inmates shouting: "Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!" Intrigued, the pedestrian peeks through a hole in the fence to see what all the commotion is about, and, suddenly, a finger pops out, jabbing him right in the eye. He screams in pain as the inmates all start shouting, "fourteen! Fourteen! Fourteen!" Happy Christmas all
  17. as to the screw down crown turn it anti clock wise whilst pressing in untill you feel the first thread click in and then tighten this way you will never cross thread the crown
  18. Yip.Tried clockwise and anti clockwise but nothing It hasn't been adjusted between 9pm and 3am either so i dunno what it could be...i can live with it,it's just annoying.Oh well i suppose i will have to wear it all the time to keep it wound
  19. Got my new blackbird today and I'm loving it,the dial is gorgeous! I seem to have a prob with the quickset date though..it just doesn't work. The date has to be set by advancing the time...nightmare! Anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance
  20. Thanks for the replies guys..just gonna have to sit tight in excitement i suppose! Will post a few pics of my new toys when they arrive
  21. Thanks narikaa.... I knew i was probably worrying about nothing with the time of year and everything....just dont like to think of my lonely blackbird sitting in a warehouse all unloved Hopefully it will be with me before Xmas along with my seamaster chrono and my super sea dweller. Be lucky people
  22. Hi all. A bit of a noob question I'm afraid. I ordered 3 watches from one of the dealers we all talk about on this forum at the beginning of December (04/12/07). I have had pieces from this dealer before and always had excellent service and the watches have taken 5-7 days to reach the UK from China. However this last bunch are taking a bit longer..the EMS tracking says they where dispatched from China on 06/12/07 and the parcel force tracking (UK delivery company) says they left origin country on 06/12/07....but then nothing I know with it being the Christmas period that things will take a bit longer but i an starting to worry that the sticky fingered customs had got hold of them. Can anyone from the UK tell me if they have had this problem before and if i am worrying about nothing? Many thanks
  23. Many thanks for a great review Andreww.I have one of these in the air on the way to the UK at the moment and cant wait to get it strapped on Be lucky people
  24. I agree with what has already been said.My Tag Aquaracer has single sided AR on the inside of the crystal and does have some glare,alot less than with no AR as with my LV sub. The blue/green/purple colour you see in an AR coating are the colours in the light spectrum that the AR cannot dissipate and so only those colours are visible. Hope this helps.I have had all my reps from Andrew and find him to be very honest and accommodating if you have any issues with a rep he sends. Be lucky people
  25. Thanks for the responses guys. I got that horrible 'i have missed the bargain of the century' feeling but have calmed down now
