As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Re: Post a Picture of Your Pet

So, being generally dissatisfied with how quickly typical dog beds flatten into uselessness, and having a dog who recently unlocked the Arthritis Achievement, I did some poking around for orthopedic options. Short summary: Apparently cot-like suspension beds are pretty popular, and the preferred mak...

Writing and shaving implements. Haven't ordered from them myself, only heard positive recommendations for 'em.

Re: Mistake of the Day

Gnomon_loves_the.jpg Right, then. That's enough Internet for today. Not the worst Photoshop mistake I have seen, but still a bit amusing. I thought photographing against a pale background would have been easy enough for product shots but I am not a professional photographer so what do I know!? &quo...

Any style's fine, as long as it has the complete specs, operations manual, and company mission statement printed in full on the dial.

Buncha Alexander Valjoux chronos for $635 at ToM. And a load of quartzes. Not familiar with the brand, so take it for what you will.

ETA: Oh, and that pricing's only for 24 hours.

How low can this go??? :shock: Note that Amazon has it listed as an automatic but it's actually a hand wound movement. Does anyone know which movement it is? I was trying to figure that out as well. I'm thinking it is a skeleton 6498 but somewhere I saw the beat rate listed at 28800bph. I didn't kn...

Nope, all I know are the specs: 316L, Swiss Ronda, etc... My wife sent it to me...she thought they "looked nice", and apparently she has come to a place of acceptance for my watch buying habit. [emoji51] What’s your secret? I’m no where near close to that place. https://i.imgflip.com/1lt4...

Re: What music are you listening to?

I used to work at Nature Company in my early 20s. We played Pachelbel's Canon a LOT. So much so, that it now triggers an unpleasant reaction. I would be OK never hearing it again. ;) Just think of all the poor cellists out there. He did actually write other stuff, even if he only seems to be rememb...

Wash your hands, don't touch your face

Social distancing - don't shake hands or commune in large groups

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020

Risky deal . I seem to recall this seller from long ago. At the time there was a hot deal posted here on a Seiko, and a number of eBay sellers had the same deal -- this seller was one of them (these sellers all had hyphenated names). But (many? all?) orders were later canceled. I figured that these...
