mars08 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) I've not rushed into buying a 42mm PO rep for various reasons. www.pam111.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_50_118&products_id=1129 Even if it IS a better rep, the price is kinda high. **NEVER MIND** I just noticed the "This product was added to our catalog on Saturday 27 May, 2006" statement. It's a dud. Edited July 18, 2008 by mars08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 As far as I can remember apparently this had a slightly better positioned Omega logo, but it is exactly the same as the gen4 in all other respects, of which most came with the correct logo positiong anyway.

magagne Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Usually means 'not working' 'or faulty' I bought a broken watch; or I bought a dud watch "It's a dud" in this context means "false alarm" Two definitions completely different... and a translation in french with my utility tool, mean "clothes" ...this is an internationnal web site, so can we speak a "universal" english here, all member don't speak/read/write a perfectly english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Funny. Duds is old fashioned slang for "clothes", but I don't think it works in the singular. A dud=a single article of clothing? A "dud" most commonly refers to a misfire, as in fireworks or ammunition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Yeah sorry I was going for the simplest explanation..didn't work so well I see... I'd say doc savage's definition is the most accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 "It's a dud" in this context means "false alarm" True... Dud: flop: someone who is unsuccessful misfire: an explosion that fails to occur failing to detonate; especially not charged with an active explosive; "he stepped on a dud mine" turkey: an event that fails badly or is totally ineffectual A dud is an ammunition round or explosive that fails to fire or detonate, respectively, on time or on command. Duds are still dangerous and have to be de-activated and disposed of carefully. Poorly designed devices (for example, IEDs), and small devices, have higher chances of being dud. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dud A broken or nonfunctional device that does not perform its intended function, such as a bomb; Clothes, now always used in plural form duds Or as this guy thought of a Movie he went too...
