Whoosh thank you for your mail. much appreciated.

I suppose to Milton Keynes I would have to courier the watch, so if still anyone knows somewhere in London i would appreciate it.

The dissapointing aspect of the lume i currently have is it is so green, the original looks almost white. Is SuperLuminova white or green in daylight?

mate, just post the watch out to him by special delivery and be extremely thankful there's someone in your country who can help you. You won't find anyone just around the corner from you who will relume your reps and make you a cup of tea while u wait, believe me. A lot of UK based people have been sending their reps to Europe or the US for most mods. I can also recommend Rocket very highly. He's a top bloke.

Ya, as has been said. You are lucky there is anyone in the entire UK. Try living in OZ (why not, half your countrymen are here :) ) There is NO ONE to do relumes in the whole damn country! Gens are sent to Singapore, thousands of miles away.

Whoosh, send me his details to please. I have a gen Seiko I will want doing if I ever have money again. Bloody Wall Street :x

Mail sent to your Ozfirefund mail address (sorry, only mail address i have for you!) i've included Rocketeers service menu and price list as an attachment.
He's currently implementing Customer relationship software so you can track the progress of the work online.... a great idea considering most of us have that "I want my watch NOW" persona :shock:

Perhaps but should we compare:
Ozzie rugby vs English rugby
Ozzie surfing vs English surfing
Ozzie bbq (with English beer) vs English bbq (with English beer)

... those are pretty big things!! (the greatest advantage, football, isn't even one anymore... check the prices of tickets to Premier's games)

Last, at least Ozzie subs don't hit French subs in the middle of the Atlantic...)

Para........thats a bit harsh :evil:

Ozzie rugby v English rugby: World cup 2003 final? World cup 2007 quarter final??
Ozzie surfing v English surfing: no-ones ever been eaten by a shark in Cornwall!
Ozzie BBQ v English BBQ: no argument there :cry:
Football: Do our Aussie cousins HAVE a football team??
Submarines: Ah yes....Australia, that great seafaring nation....weren't all the Oz submarines decommissioned due to the Fosters cans getting stuck in the torpedo tubes??

OMFG! they did what?????????????

Yes, we have a football team. Several in fact. Even one that plays with a round ball! You may remember them doing rather well at the last world cup.

No one has ever been taken by a shark in cornwall 'cause it's too damn cold to swim in cornwall! 'sides, the stones on the beach hurt your feet.

And for the hundreth time: Aussies don't drink Fosters! Only Poms and Chinese drink the stuff. It ain't even MADE here anymore!

Do you honestly think we would drink that dishwater?????? The only time you see Aussies drinking Fosters is at The Church in London 'cause that's all they sell.
