The dog one is funny.

I can post some animated gifs of the ending, if you want?

I'm just curious what you guys would have said in that situation.

You could have tried some Ali G on him..."Is you by any chance a bit jealous?".

I would hold the Bentley on my fist..and give him a punch on his face...and then i would check again if the beautyfull asia 7750 still works!

LOL, good one.

true, but at least they got the chrono pushers and the crown, sort of right. Im just thinking, it couldnt be too hard, since they got the roo case and the jumbo nearly perfect.

But then again, i have no clue if there is any demand what so ever for this watch.

Seems unlikely since its only the two of us posting about it, LOL

Lol, this topic has been covered lots of times over the past few years. But to be honest I never grow tired of it.

The existing reps of RO Chrono are truly junk though....they really need to start again from the ground up with the case. The problems with replicating the movement have already been documented, but I'm sure there's something they could do to get it close enough.

I read somewhere recently that Jose Mourinho (for those in the US, he's a soccer team manager in England) wore an AP Concept watch during a recent match.

You mean Heroes? Yep - it's been really good over the past few episodes.

Although IMHO most of the Sopranos since the mid-season break has been terrible. The central idea (i.e. showdown with Phil Leotardo) has been great but the execution has been awful.

That promo was fracking awesome!

Nice article. I think you may need to change the title from "Driver" to "Diver" though.

Cheers.. I knew my eyes must have been playing tricks on me

hi there,

found this on the darkside.

these are the reference numbers for the black day- and date-wheels for the IWC Pilot Chrono on the website of Cousins UK:

www.cousinsuk.com

Item: Valjoux 7750 Date Indicator 3 o'clock White Figures On Black Background

Reference: VAL775025571WB3

Item: Valjoux 7750 Day Indicator 3 o'clock White Figures On Black Background

Reference: VAL775025611WB3

not cheap, but i think to get good day-date-wheels, is worth the money.

What's the difference between the two items above? The descriptions are the same.

Per Angus' instructions, I sent it back to China for repair. Haven't seen it since.

Did you get a refund?

Thanks for the replies. I think the problem may be that no matter how much I push the crown in, I cannot disengage the winding mode.

Ok, so I just received an IWC 3717 from EL the other day. It's an amazing watch.

One problem though. When I unscrew the crown, all is fine: it reassuringly unscrews, and I can wind the watch, change the day, date and the time. However, when I push the crown in, so it connects with the thread on the case, I find it very difficult to screw the crown down, even though it is pushed in and threaded. There's a lot of resistance after the first turn and, also, with each turn, I can hear and feel that it is still winding the watch. I still haven't managed to screw the crown down completely because there's too much resistance. The problem exists no matter what time the watch it set at. The threads look to be intact, but I can't be sure because they are tiny.

I have a IWC GST, which behaves differently. When I push in the crown on that watch, it latches onto the thread and very reassuringly screws down very tightly, without winding the watch further.

So what's up with my 3717? Is it fracked?

Hopefully I've described the problem fully --- but let me know if anything is unclear.

Thanks.

Err... I've seen something much closer to TTK's while window shoping in Barcelona last month...

Yes, I don't know if this photo is of the genuine, but if it is, I like the rep version much better, just better dial design.

Guys, the picture was of a gen... a gen on which the dial came loose and slipped off....

Here's a picture of the gen. It looks like the dial on the rep is way off!

Glad to help!

Check this thread.

chief, you've got a screw loose mate...

I've had the Panda since the group buy. The seconds were bit jerky when I received it, but it's actually a bit smoother now.

If the past is anything to go by, the simpler a watch is to replicate, the more likely it is that the rep manufacturers will get it wrong.

And here's something else to try on for size: If everyone in that college building had been a responsible, gun carrying citizen, how many people other than the gunman would have died?

I don't think responsible, gun carrying citizens, would take guns into a school, so I would say that exactly the same number of people would have died.

kinda creepy with the kids in it.

He probably bribed them with Jesus Juice...

I have no first hand (or any other appendage, for that matter) knowledge of any Thai Ladyboys.

If you say so :lol:
