I'm sorry if I'm hostile but I just get irritated easily when people do this. Don't worry, my family's not poor, my dad earns at least £200,000 post-tax annually without private fees (he's a Dr), but he doesn't buy me £3000 watches. For my 18th I got nothing, but I do prefer it that way anyway. I'm gonna side with Jehovah here, I don't really like the idea of just buying people things for their birthday. I'd rather have someone do something that meant something to them, if anything, for my birthday. The bottom line is that I hope you've had fun showing off your watch. I think it's fair to say that that is what you were doing... I don't think I would have been compelled to post a topic about watches when I purchased my Timex. Showing off is something we all do, I'm sure, and mostly it's a bad habit. It's worse when you didn't work one bit for the thing you're showing off though.

| Real story behind Kinetic movement: The rotor inside the watch (generator) actually charges a capacitor according to Seiko. The capacitor used in the watch has the equivalent surface area of something several times it's size. This is done through etching millions of microscopic holes in the capacitor's membrane. Think of this, if you could do this on a bigger scale, you could make one hell of a Tesla Coil! Allthough, I don't think the neighbors would like you much after firing it up. |

| Hey CJ.... I was going to send this via pm, but decided to post it to the thread instead: Hey dude, sorry if i have been less than polite to you - i thought about it and decided you are actually pretty cool even if you are very young (grin). So, please accept my sincere apology. The watch you got is damn nice and i think it is great that you got it for a birthday gift. Be sure to take very good care of it!

| I think Convert would like a receipt for that watch so he could return it. lol I understand some of you are on budgets and $2000+ is unreasonable for a watch but this is a gift for someone. Consider your first macintosh. You probably didn't pay for it (unless you got in later in the game, were an adult when it came out, ran a wicked lemonade stand) and you spent hours in front of it. Maybe not a good comparison? But a gift nonetheless.

| Hey wow, that picture of you is actually exactly how I pictured you to look! It's incredibly interesting how stereotypes are generally correct to some degree... but then again, maybe that's just the psychologist in me  . I do appologize for flying off the handle. I guess it's just tough to be fairly well-off, working for what you earn and have something like this crammed into your cerebrum. Nice watch, but man, I wouldn't have accepted such a gift. (Just on a large, pulsating topic that I know everybody is wondering: What do your parents do for a living?)
