Post a *PIC* of your latest purchase..
i have and it didnt intrest me. most my shots while hunting at 600 tops. a full day of hiking,packing and falling means that when i shoot a deer i dont want to add 1500yrds to my walk back with a buck on my shoulder.
But really.... come play in the 1000-1500 yards arena. Much more fun!

Nice! How are you liking it so far??
Very nice!! $$$ I take it? I think I've seen one or two prices for some of the other STI watches and they were 
(atleast to me lol)
Got it online or Fry's? I have the same one but 1TB for my photography, but I've been thinking about picking up another one to back up other files. Didn't even realize the 2TB were in the sub-$100 category.
Went with my brother to get some headphones at Best Buy and while he did his thing I wondered around and found myself in the computer section. Was checking out this laptop and noticed it was on this laptop lapdesk thing and saw that it had one of those "open box" tags on it. Played with it for a little bit and was sold, especially since it was $79.99 new and the open box price was $39.99. If anyone is looking for a laptop lapdesk, check out the Logitech N700 Laptop Lapdesk. It has two built in speakers (which sound great) with controls, super quiet fan, and runs off the laptops power via USB. Its also really comfortable too.

Nice. I actually haven't even worn mine yet other than a few minutes around the house. I don't see it getting much wrist time to be honest. Maybe to work once or twice.
The box mine was in is awesome. It looks like carbon fiber and has both Orient and STi logos on it.
Depens on what you think a lot of money is. I paid under $200 from a private seller that wore it once or twice. New and retail was over $600 or something silly, but Orient's US branch usually has a 50% off coupon going. Orient is a good company, but you can get a lot more watch for $600 (Hamilton, Citizen... it's a long list, really).

Well really they are all fun lol there really is no "best" board they all work awesome depending on how you ride. 148 will be fun lol I have a 152 and its a little too big/stiff for me park wise. Going under 150 feels so awesome its so easy to throw around.
Some pow riding huh? that would be sweet. I don't know how much you know about Capita, just be careful if you do buy one their top sheet is (or at least was the last few years) real weak. A buddy of mine has had a few and it chips and gets beat on top real easy. Fun boards otherwise if you take care of them well of course. He also had a 2009 Horrorscope which was such a noodle but sooooo fun on rails

Plus its more motivation for me to continue/start losing weight hahaha I've heard a lot about Capita's top sheets going to the way side quicker than others. Saw a thread on snowboard forum about using a file (i think?) to shave down the boards edges. From what I read, it works really well for saving the top sheet. May give that a shot. I've been hunting down a 2009/2010 Capita Charlie Slasher & Ultrafear FK for a couple since they came out and just scored a 151 Ultrafear FK on eBay
Pretty good shape too. Has a few stickers on the top that'll be coming off (love that years top sheet design) and the base has a few scratches, but nothing that looked to be another close to major. Sssoooo pumped on finally finding one!!!I'll post some actual pics when I get it, but its this same board for those who care:
