    Any watch lovers here????

    I would have to agree with that. I briefly owned the 45.5mm chrono version (same diameter, thicker) and the 42 mm version of the most recent...

    Any watch lovers here????

    On my end, I'm pondering how long I can resist the temptation to sell the 2004 NH RC51 (which I'm practically never using and costs money every...

    Jim Race's "between Sepang & Valencia" gossip thread

    So true! What a pathetic way to end what should have been the best season of MotoGP in ages! And as much of a Rossi fan as I am, I can't...

    Again, if you tell me that you absolutely want to use the funds to have a watch for two years, there are plenty of ways in which you SHOULD be...

    Any watch lovers here????

    You are not going to get an Explorer II for that price. At least not the latest generation (216570). You might well get the generation prior to...

    Hayden to WSBK on Aprilia RSV4

    See, I would never mistake "near the podium a few times" for "competitive". Case in point: Jonathan Rea. He actually "won a few times" on it. It...
