Hi, I do not know how to make red in this forum, so take a slow look, please.

: Hi FJGS,

: welcome to the forum & congratulations on
: what I think is your first post.

: You quoted me in your reply & then chose to
: make some remarks on my words. Please allow
: me to reproduce the quote with the previous
: sentence.

: I wrote :- IF there had been problems with an
: automatic movement in , say, the 50's, 60's,
: 70's, 80's or even the 90's Joe Public may
: not have heard about this. Since the
: Internet has appeared & Joe Public has
: access to it, the distribution of
: information has become MUCH easier &
: quicker.

: Joe would probably not have heard of problem
: with a watch in Spain or Mexico, but due to
: the internet Joe can now.
:

: Your reply was based solely around the last
: sentence.

: So what I'm actually saying ( in the 3
: sentences ) is that in 2006 Joe (Public )
: has access to the internet. where world wide
: problems can be ( almost ) instantaneously
: accessed. This was NOT an option to Joe
: (Public ) prior to the mid 90's. Spain or
: Mexico are EXAMPLE lands ( maybe I should
: have made this more clear ) I could just
: have easily said Texas & Alsaka ( I
: realize that these are states of the USA
: & not countries ) or England &
: Australia etc etc.

: From here on I will reply to each of your
: comments / points.
:

: I can't beliebe, a man posting this ignorance
: in 2006.
: I can. I posted it & I stand by my words.
: IF you read my original 3 sentences together
: it is a single point. The last sentence on
: it's own doesn't make much sense. I should
: not have put a line between the sentences. I
: appologize.

Do not appologize, the sentence was clear enougth.

: I should generally appolgize for my English. It
: is my mother tongue. It was my worst
: grade in school, I got better grades in
: French & Latin than English :-(
:

: I supos it´s normal due to deficient education
: in USA (unother topic???)(only 3 or 4
: hundred years history. In spain at least
: 3000 years of history).
: I don't claim to know much about the American
: education system. I've never experienced it
: first hand. What is your experience of it ?

Read response to Chuck.

: Only 300 or 400 years of history in the USA ???

Just since the conquest. Of course it is mutch longer. and mutch more in south America. I know.

: I think you are doing native American a
: great injustice. If you are talking about
: European settlers This webpage =>
: http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/histryotln/
: seems to suggest that the first Europeans
: settled around 985 or 1001. I don't know
: where your claimed "Only 300 or 400
: years of history" comes from
: I'd also be amazed if Spain "only"
: has 3000 years of history ... The first
: Homosapiens lived there 1000 BC ? I'm sure
: most of Europe was inhabited LONG before
: then.

Shure. But I mean wrote history or any documentatios. I know altamira and atapuerca.
:
: Take a look to the map before you post this
: rubish.
: ??? what rubbish have I posted ? I don't
: understand your point here sorry.
:
I hope you untderstand now what i was thinking about. A mistake of course.

: SPAIN is in europe.
: I am very much aware of that. I have had a
: holiday in Spain. I remember learning a
: great deal about how WE British beat the
: Spanish armada when the Spaniards tried
: unsuccesfully to invade England in 1588. I'm

So I supose that after that The Queen tryed to invade Spain also unsuccesfully, beig reyected from galicia. Medina Sidonia Duke was a fool uncappable of invade anything (for the part of Spain. And Queen made a mistake sendin Drake to invade Spain, he was thinking in other thing but invade.

: sure my teachers mentioned the fact that
: Spain lies in the Eurpoean continent. I also
: got a better grade in History than I did in
: English :-)

: donot compare with Mexico please.
: Please point out where I compared them ..... I
: won't hold my breath.

:

: Spain is one of the 15 head countries in the
: world, and 5th of europe.
: It could well be. Can you back up these claims
: ?

:

: have 20 MB ADSL in the bath not to tell
: home...
: I bet that's exciting for you
:
Just three... not in bath, just to say there is internet here. As you may untherstan now... my mistake.

: By the way. I own tree Omegas (seamaster
: 1970?'s, semaster 300, and de ville co
: axial). And I'm happy with all of them.
: FINALLY ! some watch content to this post. I'm
: glad to read this, I'm glad to here that you
: enjoy your Omega watches. I thoroughly enjoy
: mine. Which seamaster from the 70's do you
: have ? I have a few of these ( divers models
: ) maybe we have similar taste in watches. I
: don't have a Seamaster 300 yet, but I will
: do oneday.

You are great. Good guy, I'm shure. I will repair my fault postin this forum to construct.
I will show you my watches this days.

:

: Do not forget that people use the internet to
: complain only when things go wrong, not when
: everything is fine. Thats the reason people
: only report problems.
: I assume that you mean that people
: "Complain Only" & (never) post
: when things are "fine". I'm not
: sure I can claim that as a fact. I read
: plenty of posts on this forum when people
: write about positive, pleasant experiences.
: So I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you
: on that.

: If you mean what you have written, I'd agree. I
: am sure that I only complain when things go
: wrong, I don't usually complain when they go
: right.

: Finally I'd like to tell you a bit about
: myself. I'm 45. I'm British ( I could claim
: to be English, but I prefer to see Britain
: as a combined nation & not as 4 seperate
: nations ). I live in Germany ( for 17 years
: now ) I have a German wife & Son. I
: speak fluent German.

I'm Basque, so I understand you.

: Before moving to Germany I lived in the
: following countries. England, Scotland ( 9
: years ), Malaysia ( 3 years ) Cyprus ( 2
: Years ).

: In 2007 I worked in Italy for 9 weeks ( spread
: over the year ) & USA ( 3 weeks )

: In 2007 I visited ( including just driving
: through them ) the following countries
: Germany (I live there ), France ( 30 minutes
: away by car ), Switzerland ( drove through
: it at least 22 times on my way to / from
: => ), Italy ( to work & have a 2 week
: holiday with my family ), Austria ( I ski
: too ), Belgium ( I enjoy motorracing &
: was at Spa a few times, also driving to/
: from the UK ), Luxembourg ( driving to/from
: the UK - Very cheap fuel there !), England (
: I visited my family ) , USA ( to work ).

: Current work projects include work for Estonia,
: Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Finland,
: Sweden & Denmark. I may be visiting
: these countries in 2008 / 2009

: I don't claim to be an expert on Europe, but I
: do know a little bit about it.

: Finally FJGS, I guess from your English that it
: is NOT your mother tongue. May I suggest
: that you don't react so extremely to a
: single sentence that you obviously did not
: fully understand.

: How about you post some pics of your watches
: & tell us a little bit about them ?

: I'd prefer to be postive & talk about
: watches than defend myself against personal
: attacks

: All the Best

: Steve

As I said I will post abut them soon to repair my foolish reaction.

Sorry for the attack. Best regaards.
