Jack Shephard's Porsche Design Watch On Lost
Regular readers of mine know that I get a kick out of spotting watches in TV shows and movies. A regular viewer of Lost, I have always been curious to know what watch was being worn by Matthew Fox's character Jack Shephard. Of course, while on the island he does not wear a watch, but back in civilization in Los Angeles, he is always seen the watch watch. The show producers are loathe to give the watch much camera time. In fact, the only watch that was given attention was the Rolex Daytona that Jin was carrying as a business gift in season 1. But I digress.

I know lots of folks aren't big fans of the new navy, but in the end, watch collecting is about buying what you love and this is the watch really spoke to me. Thank you TRF and the seller! Can't believe it took me this long to join the ROO family!

Resale value of a PO
I bought a PO about 6 months ago for ��2000 but I never wear it. What do you think is a reasonable price to ask for this?

Our complaints are many but in this open letter we will try to limit them to those that require urgent redress.May we start by pointing out that we are your customers, and without us you have nothing, you effectively work for us and you should not forget that.

We need you to realise that if we want a watch, then we are entitled to have it! Who on earth do you think you are to decide whether or not we can have one of your watches? You have a basic mandate to provide enough watches for each and every one of us, failure to do thi
