Fair enough. Gimmick or not, winders are cool (#hipstertax ?) and will save you 60secs whenever you have to reset the dates on all your perpetual calendar watches ;)

Le hehe/jokesinnitbruv I have a 17 jewel Seiko from 1971 that has only ever been serviced once, is rarely used, and keeps excellent time. Just by way of example I also have a 1964 Omega Constellation (565) that keeps great time and is rarely worn. Winders are gimmicks to extract monies from the unwary.

afaik the thinking is that you should keep the movement ticking over for the following reasons:

1. If the mainspring is left unwound for a long period of time, it may deform / lose tension (?) and so affect timing accuracy
   
2. Lubricants in the movement may settle and so also have an affect on timing accuracy
   
   

Both sound plausible to me... Also I like winders.

Is there any disadvantage in allowing an automatic 'run down' i.e. when you don't wear it all the time? I presume this does not damage the movement or anything?

The only reason I was 'worried' was I keep seeing those fancy 'automatic winding boxes' and wonderd whether there was any point to them other than saving you from setting the time every now and again?

All done.

Each part in the movement must haz an NJS stamp on it too... Otherwise it won't cut the mustard at the table. Also a leather strap is a definite no-no. Must be cut from the under-belly of a live young African croc (not your cheap American 'gator) to get the correct sheen.

Which all means that i agree; none of those are dress watches.

Depending on how you see it:

1. Me needing to HTFU against the head wind on Garratt Lane this morning
   
2. Me trackstanding like a boss in the middle of Garratt Lane this morning
   

^^ I have one of those with the CW tridents with a charcoal bezel. Great value. Bracelet changing is a pain, so have opted for a bunch of NATO's instead.

Son of Ed?

Great. I'll confirm once the refund has been completed (it's currently in a 'pending' status).

m8!: To further add to the pile of shit, the account I have linked to Paypal is giving me issues and since it's in the UK it's hard to sort from here. I'm trying to link my Japanese account to Paypal right now. I will get your money back to you ASAP.

This isn't how I like to deal and I take full responsibility for it being a generally sub-par experience. I have my reasons but I won't make excuses - I fucked up, and I apologise.

Err ok... Earlier this week I sent you a message via PayPal. Issuing the refund should be straightforward. If in doubt you can phone PayPal and they'll help you.

Don't delay, act today.

James, did you sort out your paypal account issues?

It is an example of the "3-body problem", making it difficult to calculate. However I suspect they can track and extrapolate the trajectory to improve accuracy.

^ Prove it.

^^ That answers that then. Doubt there will be any regulatory concerns stopping it going through.

So who are good alternatives? Usage limits, traffic shaping, proxy servers >>>>>

^ me too. Be have been simply brilliant over the years.

What I'm not clear about is if Be is going to be swallowed by sky, or will they continue independently like they did under O2? Former is a deal breaker, later could still work...

Sugata Mitra won the TED Prize earlier this week for his wish to build a school in the cloud. I found the talk fascinating and inspiring.

he's a sound guy and wont be fucking you over

^ Let's hope so, but right now his lack of communication suggests otherwise.

obviously this isn't how you go about selling things properly and i can see why you are all becoming increasingly frustrated,

^ This.

but just cut him a bit of slack.

^ How long would you say is reasonable? 4 weeks (in my case) feels like a reasonable amount of slack?

Muddled my way through using Chrome's built in "translate" feature. Good enough to place an order.

i need to know what sort of angle this pedal mount is at so i can make one myself!

See awesome technical drawing from Shinscar

Anyone got any idea where I can find these?

I bought my last set of amazon, but can't find them there now.

Cheers.

I received mine this morning.

James, any update?

You should all have PMs. Shit has been absurdly complicated here and I entrusted the posting of these to a friend. Seems that was a bad decision (and entirely my fault) and I am going to try my hardest to rectify that ASAP.

I haven't personally logged in for several weeks so I can only assume that a friend (I do share my laptop on occasion) has browsed/pulled up LFGSS with my account still logged in.

^^ Driving watch similar to the MB&F HM5. I prefer the HM2 and HM3. Well out of my league, but lovely.

I've already explained the truth about intelligence

Good to hear you are alive and well(ish) James. Got your PM and replied too. Looking forward to a quick resolution now.
