I knew it.
I knew Berlusconi would have popped up sooner or later.
It is a curse.

BTW, my favourite car (better, my favourite Ferrari) is 308 GTS.
To say the truth, all the truth, nothing but the truth, that's my second favourite Ferrari.
My all-time favourite Ferrari is the GTO.

He certainly is. And I hope Italy gets rid of him as quickly as the King Kamehameha Club got rid of its curse!!!

OT
It's too late.
He has been in charge for almost 20 years now and the damages are irrecoverable.

Ok Team'o, the stainless steel ring has arrived, that's right the cheep one.
I am pleased to report that compared to my Auctionsellers ring (on e-bay) for $79.99, it is bigger and bolder, the $19.95 rings face is 20mm high x 15mm wide, it is a raised image, which also makes it stand out. The other ring is 15mm high x 13mm wide, and a flat image. If I can figure how to post an image I will. All things considered, a very nice ring, my only concern is how it will ware, but only time will answer that.

OK, I am new at this "posting Photos thing" but here it is....http://s1187.photobucket.com/albums/z391/karrnut/

With the ring photos are also my autograph photos, can't figure how to edit them out, so just call it a bonus.

The ring on the left is the cheaper stainless steel @ $19.95
The one on the right is the sterling silver @ $79.99

Hi Karrnut,

Click on the picture in Photobucket that you'd like to post,you should see a box on the right, "Share this photo" then copy the "IMG Code" and paste it in the thread.

The "cheap" one looks pretty cool, not like Magnum's but cool!
I would buy one if the man ships to Italy.
Dang!

Yeah. You can tell the steel one is poorer quality (less detail and that black pitted background). Still, pretty good deal for the money.

I only wear my wedding band, so I'd be unlikely to shell out for one of the (admittedly awesome) gold ones done by Robbie or Lighter Side. But to slip on a $20 number on special occasions like December 11th would be great!

Uhm... rather than less detail I would say different style.
BTW, what do you mean by "black pitted background"?
I can't see any black on both of the rings.

I think like this

and

http://cgi.ebay.com/Cross-Lorraine-Magn ... 3c995ca4cc

not selling either of these..only showing pics to illustrate the black pitting mentioned.

I don't like the first one very much (and still can't see any black, maybe we are not talking of the same thing), the second one is the JD's and is the best looking of all (excluding Lighter Side and Robbie, way too expensive!) but still a little too costly for me.
Oh yes, I can see black on this.

I own the first one.

It has no black when you get it. Also, it appears to be unfinished. The part that goes around your finger is as wide as the part where the cross is. It took me hours with a dremel, file, sandpaper, and a polishing wheel to "finish" it so it was wearable. I also painted the black in around the cross. The result is pretty good, but I still find myself two years later wanting to "work" it further. It's a nice ring, but be ready to do a lot of work on it to make it wearable and to look right. I wish these people who make the ring in sterling would redesign it to have an oval around the cross. Round just isn't right

Yes..like the second one as well
