Helped u to google: Chicken Pox and Shingles: 5 Things We Should Know About the Infections | TIME.com

Summary, shingles is not contagious person to person but if your kids have not had chicken pox, the varicella zoster virus spreaded may cause development of chicken pox.


Anyway take care ya! the PAMs are always there and u will probably be in time for your self-declared cooling off period by end June to acquire that PAM! :)

Hope yatto and his family members have had chicken pox or immunized already.. otherwise they could be at risk to develop chicken pox themselves..

But the medical solutions are quite advanced today.. From what I know, there are powerful jabs to minimise your scars and suffering to within a week (for adults only unfortunately).

Our family trip to japan is in one weeks' time. Hope the kids do not catch chicken pox from this, really.

In fact I had chicken pox so bad I was hospitalized.

Truth is I had planned to go to JW today; also have the cash ready.

Thanks for all your well-wishes. I'm a paranoid dad so it means I cant sleep nor eat well for the rest of the week for sure.

Hello guys, recently got the skx007 thinking of changing to super oyster bracelet. Anyone have experience with any? Search around the Web gives 3 popular ones wjean, tungchoy/strapcode and yobokies. :)

I'm on WJean oyster for my SKX, pricey but worth the money IMO. Makes the watch more expensive looking, compared to the original jubilee strap (a bit too bling and old for me) and it was quite flimsy.

Worth reading up more on the tritium PAMs. I have read articles that go along the lines of saying the tritium over time leaves some patina on the hands giving it a vintage look or something which is very prized. Hence compands higher price. To me its a little twisted reasoning but....what do I know haha.

to me it's a case of Your Mileage May Vary... not all buyers like the look. the tritium also seems to cause the hands/indicators to have some form of corrosion which i'm not fond of.

savvy marketing by used watch dealers and those who own New Old Stock perhaps?

Oh! Do you know what is the difference between the type (II and there's a IIC or something like that). Did you bought it recently or was it like a year or 2 ago from eBay? Thanks for the information!! :)
