Daren, if that's the funniest thing you have ever read, you have led a sadly sheltered life, my friend. You do need to get off that golf course and out more. :lol: :rofl:

Oh, yes. Welcome to TRF, Jim. Now that you've had your English composition exam and have corrected your papers, you get an A for effort. As you can see, we are an irreverent (but fun) bunch here.

[JIM]

Well I'm glad I passed the test. Thanks guys, I'll be hanging around often.

[Manatee]

Hi Tim yes lots of familiar faces here mate, and whats more important all good
friends,welcome to TRF any questions don't be afraid to ask. :thumbsup:

[Uncle-AJ]

Hello Tim and welcome to the land of the lost. :chuckle: Padi forgot to mention you are not allowed to ask about JJ's Planet Ocean. It's an instant banning offense. :chuckle:

Join in and enjoy. :cheers:

[JJ Irani]

Hiya Tim,

Great to have you aboard. Welcome to the land of the banned and the banished!! :chuckle:

You'll find this place most enjoyable and don't listen to the others re my new orange pumpkin. Just ask away to your hearts content and I shall oblige. I'm virtually ban-proof so no worries on that score. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Cheers - JJ :thumbsup:

[tpearman]

Thanks, Guys. JJ, it's great to "see" you again. Hope you and Zemina have been well. Tim

[JJ Irani]

Thanks, Guys. JJ, it's great to "see" you again. Hope you and Zemina have been well. Tim
Thanks Tim, we've been well. Just celebrated her birthday yesterday (6th).

Tim, great to see you mate!! I hope you and your loved ones are doing okay after the devastation that hit your part of the country. :banghead:

Very nice to see a friendly and knowledgable guy like you stop on by! Hope to see a bunch of ya dude. :thumbsup: :bye:

[tpearman]

Thanks very much, Daren! Hope you're doing well too, especially with the influx of NOLA refugees to your city. It's great to hear from you, I wondered where you had been! Tim

[Rockrolex]

Hello, Tim. Let me add my welcome to the rest of the group. It's good to see you over here. Stick around for the fun. There's plenty of that going around here and it's catching. :clap: :bye: :cheers:

[tpearman]

Thanks, Ed. It's nice to see so many friendly faces here. I see from your avatar that you still have the GMT, and haven't yet decided to switch to the more fashionable bezel configuration yet! (Just joking)

[Rockrolex]

Thanks, Ed. It's nice to see so many friendly faces here. I see from your avatar that you still have the GMT, and haven't yet decided to switch to the more fashionable bezel configuration yet! (Just joking)
You better be joking with that comment, Tim. That's grounds for banning. :lol: :rofl: :dummy:

[tpearman]

Seriously, though, Ed. How pretty is this one??

[Gedanken]

Welcome aboard, Tim!

Hey, now that we've got two psychs here, maybe we could do a Frasier-and-Niles thing! :chuckle:

[JJ Irani]

Seriously, though, Ed. How pretty is this one??
Beautiful Tim, I see you too got the new box like I did. :thumbsup:

[Rockrolex]

Seriously, though, Ed. How pretty is this one??
IMHO, Tim, not quite as pretty as this one. :clap: :thumbsup:

Like the majority of the members here, we were banned for certain or uncertain reasons. We have realized that the friendships are more important than the where. It is always great to see friendly and familiar faces stop by and surprise us.

I am less worried about the people coming here than I am about the lack of help and aid in a timely manner that has been afforded your city. That is a JOKE!!! :thumbsdow

BTW/ nice GMT II, so are we EXP II free now? You are one GMT function loving dude Tim. :agree: :clap: :cheers:

[tpearman]

James, I like the idea of a Frasier-Niles thing, except maybe in an I/O kind of way!
Daren, yes, I'm Exp II free at the moment, and actually the GMT is for sale. I've got a Panerai PAM 69 that I'm totally in love with, so the GMT's gotta go. Thanks for the kind comments on the recovery of NOLA.
By the way, does this forum have a buy/sell section? Tim

Oh Tim, talk to me baby!!! :clap: :clap:

Pam did I hear? In love did I hear?? I am wearing my 27C as I type, and just sold off my 112 last weekend, but have it's replacement arriving tomorrow. Oh yeah it is a Pannie, which one? Tune in tomorrow afternoon to see. :agree:

I am in love with these tuna cans and also buying and changing the straps. Actually just got a brick color calf today that I have on now. I am very glad to hear you too are smitten with Panerai Tim, that is too cool. :clap: :thumbsup:

[tpearman]

Yes, I am quite smitten, indeed. I saw the picture of yours posted on another thread-very nice, my friend! I'll post pictures of mine if I'm ever able to get back to New Orleans (left the computer with pictures and also the cord to download digital photos in my house...oh well, hope they're not underwater, or in someone else's hands...) I look forward to seeing your new addition!

[dman]

I'll wet your taste just a bit, here is the 112 and 27C, the 112 is gone, but not forgotten. The new one will be here in less than 14 hours!! :clap: :clap:

Hey daren,

I thought I was the master-flipper, but you make me look very amateurish by comparison....LOL!! LOL!! :chuckle: :chuckle:

[tpearman]

Is there a buy/sell section on this forum? Tim

[Rockrolex]

Is there a buy/sell section on this forum? Tim
Not yet, but we're working on it.

[dman]

Hey daren,

I thought I was the master-flipper, but you make me look very amateurish by comparison....LOL!! LOL!! :chuckle: :chuckle:
Yeah, I do tend to switch a bunch, but I just like what makes me happy and keep in mind that these are just watches and not some huge personal thing.

Alan, when I get some time we really need to talk mate. I am now about as hard core Paneristi as I can be. Perfect example, Three straps in the mail so far this week, three more coming and two buckles. We really need to talk pal. :cheers:

[Alan From New York]

Check with Ed. I get lost all of the time. :)

[Alan From New York]

Alan, when I get some time we really need to talk mate. I am now about as hard core Paneristi as I can be. Perfect example, Three straps in the mail so far this week, three more coming and two buckles. We really need to talk pal. :cheers:

I'm not exactly "hard core." Sure, I got the Luminor GMT, one of the most popular Panerai, but I started with the 91, one of the least liked.

As for straps, I'm not such a great explorer either. About half a dozen and I'm done.

Although I'm not Panerai-ed out yet, this is the latest object of my watch lust.

[Alan From New York]

It's about time you got your sorry a$$ over here. How are you doing, buddy? Welcome aboard. :bye: :clap: :cheers:

P.S. How's the beetle? :thumbsup:

Nothing much changes with me, except getting a new watch every now and then. The latest is a Tissot T Navigator 3000, which I'm having a lot of fun with.

The Beetle is giving me a couple of minor headaches, both of which are my fault. Seems that when I had it fixed after its accident last Christmas, the headlights can no longer be aimed. Until I plunk down $1500.

[Rockrolex]

I can understand why you're lusting for that one, Alan. That's my kind of complication watch. Keep dreaming, pal. Sometimes dreams do come to life. :thumbsup: :clap: :cheers:

Yeah, but will Breguet send me a free cap? :thumbsup:

[Rockrolex]

Yeah, but will Breguet send me a free cap? :thumbsup:
Depends on how much you spend on one of their watches. I think they limit cap distribution to high rollers ($75K and above). Otherwise, they don't have enough of a margin to warrent givaways. :agree: :agree: :clap:

[Uncle-AJ]

Yeah, but will Breguet send me a free cap? :thumbsup:
Hello Alan, it's been a long time. I hope you enjoy our friendly little forum and become a regular.:chuckle:

I am itching for an 88 pretty bad, debating moving my 27C for one. I think that watch is so good looking.

To most other people, 6 straps for one watch is insane pal. :chuckle:

That baby in the pic would turn more than just a few heads. :thumbsup:

The GMT/Alarm movement is shared by Breguet and Blancpain. Available in a steel case from BP for thousands less than the Breguet. But the design team at Breguet did it so much more nicely.
