No idea what happens in FireFox, will see if there is anything i can do about that....sounds strange.

I get the blocks issue and agree, i'm just saying i don't think Heuer sold anything like 4000 original Silerstones. Having them blocked off seems likely, as you say the numbers are clustered, but i suspect far far fewer were made up and sold (that's just my hunch mind!)

I think in a similar way to the Monaco it wasn't a roaring success when launched.

: given watch - just makes it more difficult than ever!

: Let's see what Jeff has to say on the subject when he publishes his
