offshore Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Whilst chasing down some info on cleaning machines tonight, I stumbled across this page on winders. I post it here for the information within, although I have reservations about some of the statements, ( they sound a trifle biased to me ) http://www.watchcases.com/automaticwat.html FYI Offshore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linder Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 For those of us over here, Fair dinkum is an old Australian expression very roughly translating to mean genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linder Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Atleast that is what my friend Google thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 In this context, I think Ken means they are "fair dinkum" about their pricing... meaning its up there. $$$ Like a lot of languages/expressions, this one can get lost in the translation, and actually have several meanings. But the original "fair dinkum" means genuine, as in fair dinkum watches ( as opposed to replicas) Offshore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthebhoy Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 At those prices I would use the quaint Glasgow expression commonly heard around the peoples market known as "The Barras"......................."Yer huvvin a laff son!"
