+1 on the Gordon-Smith. They can tailor-make a guitar to your specs for less than half the price of a Custom Shop '57 VOS. Gibsons can be a bit hit and miss in my experience. Sharp fret edges and two...

N.O.M.B. If the seller wants to sell a Swatch for £1million, they can. If anyone is prepared to pay that, then that's another thing altogether.
Tape off the bezel, use toothpaste in small circular motions and clean with fresh water.
The 916 is a beauty. The cost of Ducati over here is carzy.
Is it possible you could meet the seller in an AD and have the watch appraised (maybe for a fee).?
Cross border payments cannot be sent for free either. I found that out a few weeks ago.
£25 for a 650g package to Thailand. Also, when I send EMS packages back to the UK, the Royal Mail postman doesn't bother to get a signature, he just leaves it by the front door. :evil:
I found the case back rubbed on the bone of my wrist. Also, the hands used to reset to slightly different locations each time. Sold it after about a month.
Do it! A few years ago a MacBook Pro I had went to sleep. It was one year and one week old. After begging with the shop I bought it from to let me buy Applecare out of warranty, they shipped the...
There was a story I read in The Guardian a few days ago about two young men who beat a severely disabled man to death. Makes me glad I spend so little time in the UK. I don't know if it's me...
The S2000 is a great car but as some other posters have mentioned it can be a tad twitchy.
Manifatture Firenze also make some really nice straps and as they are made in Europe you won't have to pay customs duty on them, unlike the Gunny.
I don't believe it's waterproof, the only thing it says on the inside of it is "genuine crocodile".[/quote]
Think I'll order one. The Bellini is about 3 or four times cheaper than the OEM...
+1 on the Airwolf. I just bought my first Breitling about two weeks ago and love it.
Thanks for the replies. There's a friend of mine that runs a used watch shop in Bangkok and nearly all the used Rolex he has are from Taiwan. He told me that the price of new and second hand Rolex...
I was recently told by an AD that my six month old Milgauss w/B&P was worth about £1500, as nobody wanted to buy them. I sold it myself two days later for £2900. I'll never trade a watch in again.
The last time I went to Oxfam was about two years ago to the branch in Altrincham, Cheshire. Second-hand books were about 15% off new rrp and some of the vinyl was over £40. They know the exact...
Peter Gunny makes some pretty good straps. I bought two a couple of months ago for about $150 each. Thick leather, sturdy buckle and excellent stitching.
+1 on HSBC and CitiBank, especially if you spend any time overseas. HSBC have never charged me whenever I have transferred funds either to or from the UK, unlike any of the local banks I use in...
I stayed at the Centara Grand Beach Resort last month for a long weekend. At the time they had a promotion running for 5000 baht per night. It's a really nice place to stay and the service is...
I honestly don't know how much further Omega can take this.
Hello all,
This might be a bit of a long shot but does anybody have any experience of shopping at the duty free shops at Taipei Airport? I have a 4 hour stopover there next month and am sure I...

Thanks for the tip. I had a look at their website. Those padded Bellini straps look pretty good, in fact they look almost identical to the OEM straps I've seen. The price isn't bad...
Many thanks for the recommendations. I've just picked up another rubber strap from JudgeBaxter. I go to the US next month and have been told that ADs are more willing to discount straps than in the...
It's not the most expensive IWC make, but the 371701 Pilot's Chrono is a lot of watch for the money.
