if u are using photobucket just copy the link in the "img code" box, you just click it, it is copied automatically & you paste it to your post.

Don't click in the attach box, but in the body of the text area.

More specifically, right click in the text area and then select Paste.

no, but if you click "preview" b4 submitting the post u can see for yourself if it did work.

again, you were close.
click on the img box in photobucket, it turns yellow and says "copied".

right click in your new forum post, somewhere in the message body area, where you write your text.

select "paste", a link from photobucket is inserted (starts with IMG in brackets)

click "preview" to chck, "submit" if ok.

we'll get there.

Well the dial looks pretty mint to me, no mistakes as far as I can see? I had a dial redone once on a seamaster and I could tell it was not original. This I was told cannot be original as it does not have white subdials? Also that the twin jets were not used in 1966? Any comments appreciated.
