I have the Seiko Black Monster and Orange Monster pictured above. Damned good watches.

Hey Pugwash, have you posted a photo review of your collection? It must be quite something to behold! How many do you have? (oops hijacked the thread..... oh never mind )

Click the out-of-date "My Collection" link below. It's missing a few recent watches (MBWs, a 187, a 45mm PO and a few others) but it gives you an idea.

Some beautiful cinematography in this movie...

I used to live in the 18eme, where this film was set (the director lives in the 18eme region of Paris) and I'm constantly amazed at how clean he got everything outdoors. So much digital post-prod, but also he had a team of cleaners polishing the front of Gare de l'Est for days before filming began.

The stone-skipping scene was set on Canal St Martin, which was the first bit of Paris (Stalingrad, 19eme) I lived in before moving to the 18eme. That lock she's on used to be visible from my window, if you leant out carefully.

Good to hear! I'm in the filming industry myself (TV-adds), so I know it takes a lot of effort to clean a set outside. But I really love this warm fantasy look. It's almost like a dreamworld. Hmmm, it's been a long time that I visted Paris, maybe I should...
