From the photos you posted in the "Rumper Room", she look's like she's from the Islands or an Island girl?

Nope, Vietnam. :fro:

She's actually lived in the states most of her life. We just chose Hawai'i to get hitched so we could avoid the expense and hassle of a "real" wedding. :lol:

Gents,
This thread has digressed into highschool level stuff. First the weak "wus thread" accusation. I guess that's intended to be a hurtful barb directed right at a guys manhood...because DWC is a true watch forum dedicated to the discussion of true dive watches (well, this thread betrays that concept). It really irks me when any forum wastes too much bandwidth discussing what goes on other forums. And the weak convo about Asian women and such is just silly stuff. I purposely avoid rumble rooms and off topic forums because I have absolutely NO interest in these low level conversations. Take that childish crap to the rumble room.

There are many solid guys on this forum, but this thread is a bad example and I hope this is not what DWC is about.

Sorry to disappoint, but at DWC I'll bet that "hot Asian chicks" will win out over "my micro is better than your Rolex" threads every time. Thanks for the stern dressing down though.


Ohhh. And harden the fuck up rookie. :bird:

I agree that it's an aggressive design. How would you compare the lume? The bezel action? Case finishing? Let's see some comparison shots. Including some macro shots of the dial and hands. How long have you owned/evaluated each of them?

There is much to ponder in this thread. I have spent some time at WUS, and have recently found DWC.
It is my opinion that if half the threads at WUS degenerated into pictures of scantily clad asian girls, then It would probably be more interesting.

For what it is worth, I like the DSSD, but Helson looks nice too, I would be on asian girls like white on rice \pun intended/(and if I could get my wifes permission :naughty: ), and I have no real opinion on SUVs. Oh and I think I might stick around a bit more at DWC, and a bit less at WUS.

cheers

Bill, enjoy the new Helson. You may find that the shorter lug length will help the watch sit a bit better on the wrist, I do anyways.

:shock: :o Damn ... did we just get "TOLD"?

I hear ya KY. And I'd agree with you if every thread on DWC went off topic. But they don't. It's usually only when the OP's question, statement, etc has been thoroughly answered that a thread may go a little OT before it dies. I think a lot of it is our years of being censored, and moderated like children at sites like WUS, TZ, hell .... everywhere. I don't see a problem with an occasional thread jacking.

Kai-You've been around enough to know not every thread turns into this. What happened is actually a brilliant deflection from a dumb noobie land mine of a thread into something glorious. Trust me its much better that this happened. Hope you take nothing personal and stick around because you're right-many of the solid guys out there are here and the watch knowledge density here is pretty high also and you add to both. :cheers:

That said, I wholly approve of any thread, including ones I start, about anything, turning into pictures of hot Asian girls.

Like every forum there's plenty of self satisified defensive bullshit here, but enough real knowledge and free speech to make it worth it.
