Wes, who said I wanted to work on Your watches?

Again, I think the regular one would be more simple to use though, although I don't think you can go wrong with any of them provided that they're well built and not cheap.

If for any reason you doubt this is an authentic watch I strongly recommend you to start a thread in the Watch Out!!! Section, experts shall chime in with their knowledge. As per the rules I will not say more in here and I may very well be wrong but it doesn't look like a Rolex movement...
Posted on Watch Out with pix. Thanks.

Tank, there is a large area in Epcot that has dolphins, sharks, manatees and so forth.

I suppose if they can net the seahorse and feed it multiple times per day that might work. They usually can't compete in a community tank.

Okay guys, it is not my intention to show you something you could possibly find disgusting or that would ruin your evening but I must vent a little bit.

...Lisa, look at that...





You mix freezing cold with heat as well as regular hand washing with a industrial hands soap (at my job and at my school, for instance) and this is what you get this massacre...





The pain is the worst type: the one that is not too bad and that you can still endure but that is constant, making it the only thing that's on your mind...

I kid you not, whenever I move I feel pain on one of my hands...when it's not on both!

P.S.: Don't forget one thing, those wounds bleed again whenever something gets rubbed on them, that includes my gloves when I put them on or take them off...

That's nothing. Tell us about the time you beat up a rabid grizzly bear.

Non medical opinion here, but it looks to me as if you might be allergic to something in the soap you are using. Looks a bit like contact dermatitis to me. My recommendation would be hydrocortisone cream. I just hate it when this happens. I've had that on my face before from allergy to something in the moisturizer and it is just not happy stuff. Maybe you could bring some soap that's more hypo allergenic?
