    Agreed. If I had a different name I would claim it ;)

    Ha! I built a record store-style bin in the spare bedroom.

    I don't know if that is rhetorical or not but it's late where I am at and my mind is not functioning on enough cylinders to tell the difference lol! Prepositions (which of is) are not capitalized unless they are used to modify. But honestly, I have always seen it capitalized. Same with Omega FOIS.

    But honestly, anytime there is a question of "why this and not this" with language, my mind always remembers this whomever/whoever debate scene from The Office (it's two minutes and thirty seconds long)

    Good morning!
    This guy is at it again- I own one of these- it's a great watch and this is about as clean as they comes. I see a little corrosion or something next to the caseback but otherwise it's clean.

    This thread would be very destructive to my funds if it weren't for most being US based and eBay stating: Item doesn't post to 81479.

    I always check looking for EU based items. Missed the delightful looking;

    To well, Munich, Fridays and Tegernsee.

    I would appreciate more Canadian-based bargains if the staff here would get off their butts and get on that

    ;)

    And I've been waiting since the 70's for that hovercraft we were all supposed to be riding around in - you don't see me bitchin'! :p

    I'm awaiting my flying car and robot maid.
    Fact is Hovercraft are commercially available but unfortunately they are not as easy to brake as a wheeled vehicle.
    The lack of drag that makes them so efficient also means there's no surface friction to be used to slow down once you cut power. Various methods have been tried to overcome this with mixed success.
    Flying cars are well within the current state of the art, but a drunk driver crashing through your bedroom ceiling at 300 MPH along with a tank of aviation fuel is something most would find cause for concern.
    The Roomba is a sort of primitive robot maid, but until they build one that looks like Lexa Doig they aren't going to be on my wish list.

    Nobody told me I could finally get my hovercraft! I need to get on that interwebs thing that Al Gore invented to check them out.

    Same seller as above- he's got a lot of neat stuff - the Elgin is particularly interesting.

    That Benrus has remarkable simularities In case, case back, crown and dial surface finish to my Caravel.
    I wonder if there was a shared sub contractor for these parts?

    PS

    Not as expensive as they might be. About the cost of a good new car for a four passenger or about 1/3 the price for a single seater.

    At a bar when your buddy elbows you to point out the outrageous hottie that just walked in, are you the guy that brings out the STD stats?
    Talk to your chapter president, in Vancouver we've had our OmegaForums hovercraft for years now.

    Strange happenings @JwRosenthal, i click on the link you posted and none of the above watches exist in the sellers inventory.
    I was going to have a look at the funky Wittnauer but couldn't find it.

    He may have int'l bidders blocked- that sucks

    Try to log into eBay.com (US site) and enter the item # 264860978175 and see if it lets you see it.
