warburg Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I've used the Location button on my Profile so that readers of my posts can see where I'm posting from. I think this is important, especially for members from non-English speaking countries. I thought that a good number of members on this board were less literate than they should be until I realized that most of these people were not native English speakers, and then I came to admire how well they were able to express myself and regret that I was not as competent in French or Spanish.

premiumdesigners Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 another NYC here. Anyone knows where can I get watch repair service in NYC at a reasonable price? I think I found an old guy in Queens that will work on reps. I'm waiting for a Fiddy to come to have serviced by this guy. He quoted me $100 for full oil service on a asian 7750. I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, Port Richmond High School is located on St. Joseph's Avenue in Staten Island, New York. I had hundreds of posts on RWG I. My credit for them was wiped out and I had to begin as a newbie here. I don't like the avatars available on the site, and I don't know how everyone gets these catchy avatars and how they upload them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 No Way !! I don't want just anyone to know I'm from Ohio . . . DAMMMMMM . . . I shouldn't have said that . . . Hey, really, I'm from Pennsylvania, or West Virginia, or Kentucky, but not Ohio . . . Gawd, there's probably only two or three Brian's in the whole state of Ohio, and I sure don't want to give any Custom's agent or Rollie lawyer THAT easy of a time finding me . . . But since I'm really NOT from Ohio, I'm really not worried a bit . . . 8^) B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Dont come crying here when you get a letter from Rolex. It is not a game anymore now that W has attached the copyright infringement business to terrorism. I think you'll find it's infringement of American brands that actually worry him. Ask him which treasure of the world needs to be protected more urgently: 1. The Swiss watch. 2. Herbie Fully Loaded starring Lindsay Lohan. And I think he'd be Herbie all the way!

For some reason I couldn't upload one of my own jpegs, but I chose one arbitrarily from an avatr site and will try to find something more significant later.
