I have a Pepsi dial Seiko diver on a jubilee bracelet that rocks. Model SKX009. no better value.

Exactly, tritium is a gas and the bonding agent (phospor) is the key. Panerai's bonding agent is far inferior - or at least it seems to last half as long.

Not to be pedantic, but tritium is what hydrogen with 1 proton and 2 neutrons is called. It is tritium whether it is in pure (T-T), or heterogeneous (T-x) form.

It is gaseous when part of a gaseous molecule, and solid or liquid when parts of molecules in those phases.

Since it has identical properties with standard, single-nucleon, hydrogen; it can be substituted in a molecule almost anywhere hydrogen can.

I used to use tritiated compounds to track drug distribution in animals it works great for that too.

throw it away, save the buckle

then buy a half decent replacement from BoB (www.waccex.de) swap it out and live happily ever after

+1 Life is too short to leave a smelly rep strap on your nice, new "Breitling"

BoB straps are an excellent value.

I'd have to be psychic to tell that one from the gen. Right on!

It was indeed, they called it "The Antichrist".

My neighbor is from S. Africa and knows the people in that movie, and get this, he speaks Bushman. He hates newer Rovers but he's just happy as a clam at high tide that I picked up this one. So what is a "son of a Moluccan"?

Watch out for the rebel leader, Sam Boga!

Wasn't that in "The Gods Must Be Crazy"?

If you dont mind sticking to seiko you got this bad boy at 44mm

SRP043K1 - bracelet version

SRP043K2 - rubber strap

+1 I'm thinking of getting one of these myself.

It's not easy bein' green...

"Nicolas Hayek, president of the world's leading watchmaker, Swatch Group, remarked at the time: "It's like a bunch of cardinals getting together and robbing the Vatican bank.""

But that DID happen!

old topic but ive been far far away, having just shot an AK47 in Cambodia and an M16 I would have to choose the latter in a battle of the assault rifles. less kick and NO barrel wobble. Wonder why the AK always takes the spotlight...

As an ex-infantryman, there are two reasons that leap to my mind:

1) AK-series weapons were designed to be made by stamping rather than machining (we all know about that here). Therefore they can be made very cheaply.

2) AK-series weapons can fire almost regardless of how clean they are. This is very important in the field.

That said, I'd absolutely choose the M16A2 over an AK-series rifle. It's a more accurate weapon, and the ammo is lighter.

But I think I'd rather have a 7.62mm M14 over either one because of the greater range, stopping power, and that I'm more of a "one shot at a time" guy.

IPB?

Even if he fails to get money from suing the producers, he will get large residuals as long as that show is played.

A mighty fine looking watch.

Nothing beats a Zippo if you're trying to torch a Vietnamese village.

My favorite Christmas song is Christmas in Las Vegas by Richard Cheese:

Christmas in Las Vegas

Decorate your tree with chips

Let's roll a yo beneath the mistletoe

While that angel strips

Rudolph sold the sled, now he's betting on red

In a casino made out of gingerbread

Christmas in Las Vegas

It's a trip!

The wise men are rolling sevens

The elves are doubling down

Light a candle, and pull the handle

I love that jingling sound

Every showgirl and boy ride in a sleigh of joy

Pulled by eight tiny tigers eating Siegfried & Roy

Christmas in Las Vegas

What a town!

Santa brought me two aces

I wonder if I should split?

Hey waitress, bring me a drink, while I think

What would Jesus hit?

The strip lights are all twinkling

There's no room at the inn

But because 'tis the season

They'll comp a suite for Mary at the Wynn!

Christmas in Las Vegas

It's Bethlehem with Bling!

Let's hope the dealer brings four newborn kings

'Cause my baby needs a brand new pair of five golden rings

Christmas in Las Vegas really swings!

Cha cha cha ching

I said Christmas in Las Vegas really swings!

Flibbity floo!

The Ebel Panda is really nice. I wear it for my dress watch ever since I got it. Good factory AR too.

In addition to the G-shock being tough, it's good to have at least one radio-controlled watch by which to set one's mechanicals.

42mm = UPito ??

And Daniel Craig wore the 45.5mm

"Please Disperse. There is nothing to see here."

I like that.

I have one on SS. They're automatic.

Do you want it? I'm open to offers.

I must be an outlier, but I would rate OHMSS higher in quality than many people.

I like that he has to do some research and go undercover.

Much of the time in other films, he just waltzes all over the place using his real name.

BTW, in the book he removes his Rolex from his wrist and puts it around his hand for use as brass knuckles.
