Photos look fine, nice looking watch, welcome to the forum!

Yesterday - left the house to go and see the historian at the local museum - didn't put a watch on! Had to tell the time by my car clock, radio, mobile phone, angle of the sun and, half an hour before sunset, the clock on the control panel of the microlight I blagged a lift in :D Today made...

@Shocker - thanks but no plans to move on the more attractive items in my collection at the moment, if I do get rid of anything - unlikely! - it will be some of the cheapies that I have rescued and put batteries in @terryjames - how many pairs of shoes does she have? Or handbags? She must have...

Ok, but be careful in your choice of shop. There are plenty of documented cases of batteries being changed by "professionals" who lose the alarm spring or, worse, don't ensure the sealing O ring is properly in its groove. The first you know of that problem is when your watch floods. Where do...

I noticed no problem with wearing it on my right wrist, had it on for about 36 hours continuously - apart from taking a bath, I always remove watches when doing that! It's not the only asymmetric watch that I have either : Two Frog 200's, this DWX-100: and this Marks and Spencer sport watch...

I have no problem with wearing watches on the right - I have tried the left wrist but it feels strange. I am left-handed in most things so it makes sense to keep the watch on the hand that isn't in the thick of the action. Not yet come across a watch that is difficult to operate because it is...

@Pendragon - RESULT! @rutteger - how about a "fake watch watch" thread where we name and shame the eBay fakers so that we can each send a message to eBay denouncing the fakers? I can do a quick guide to navigating eBay's reporting procedure if the idea is a good 'un

CR2016s are part of the CR20xx family 20mm diameter and 1.6mm thick. Battery replacement is simple, got a cheapie in the post yesterday with a dead battery, put a new one in while I boiled a kettle for a mug of tea. Batteries are $4 for a single branded battery from a hardware store to $0.40...

Club night, what else could I wear?

I can probably post a battery changing sequence on here if anyone would like to see how easy it is. Or you can google g-shock battery change and see various peoples' take on it. The main thing is to have a good quality screwdriver that fits the screws - #PH000 - and a large container in which...

Happy Birthday! Pleased to hear that you have got a watch that you are happy with, the GR-8900a is fine looking piece of kit. Can we have a picture or two in the "WRUW" thread please? :D

Patience mon brave, all will be revealed in 10 to 20 business days plus the time to get to Parcel Farce to pay the customs duties. I have seen a post on a certain watch seeking forum that makes me think that you will like it ... It's strangely warm for this time of year and I've just heard on...

It's all a wee bit late now. I considered a lot of small items but then I would either pay a hefty premium in loads of separate postal charges or, if sent in one package, it is the value of the total of the package and the p+p that you pay duty on. You didn't expect HMRC to be anything other...

First link - Casio with winder for the hands? I think not. second link - It has that not crisp enough look on the digits, the lettering around the bezel and the moulding itself. I find it difficult to believe the number of sellers of "genuine" new G-Shocks that have conveniently lost boxes...

It does sound dodgy but there is a balance of $500 in my Amazon.com account. Abine are a reputable company and viewing the full headers and the source of the mails all appears ok. I haven't been asked for any bank details. And I did enter a customer survey on their facebook page. And now I am...

Hi Sean, I have had a nigfht to sleep on this, woke up and checked amazon, my $500 gift card balance is still there. Also in my mailbox are 27 messages including one 419 scam and two "prizewinning" messages that just require my financial details to complete. So I fully understand your caution...

Just found out via chat: You are now connected to PREETI from Amazon.com. Me:I have just had a $500 gift card which has been credited to me at Amazon.com I live in UK and my account is also on amazon.co.uk. Can the account credit be transferred from US to UK? PREETI:Hello, my name is Preeti. I...

Not sure whether to put this here or in the eBay/Amazon watch threads. I have spent the day exchanging e-mails with an American Lawyer called Sarah Downes who has told me I have won a $500 voucher. Yeah, right and I'm a Nigerian banker who needs help in moving $8.7million ... The mail had a...

I do commentary for the battle scenes at our show and sometimes for the post war vehicles as well. Hate the sound of my voice when I see a youtube clip of the action. I can hear the dreary monotone, all the pauses and er, stumbles er,and,er unfunny jokes. It...

Nice! Either you shot it in the early hours or you haven't set the watch to UK time yet.
