Dude that site is awful.  They're loading a 1MB image for that shirt design!  Instead of resizing it properly, they're letting the HTML do it so you have to wait a year to see the page.  Don't even bother trying to load the main products page, you could boil pasta in the amount of time it takes to load.

I figured it was some kind of bootleg shopping cart form either yahoo or google.  However, just because it's a Yahoo cart doesn't mean it needs to look (and function) like azz.  FTR, sadly enough American Apparel's system is a modified Yahoo cart (http://store.americanapparel.net/) - notice how much faster that loads? 

I also like a big watch, this is what I have (http://www.abouttime.com/business/mnt1/abouttime/invt/classico-53-a-925-1/classico-a925-blk.jpg).

See, you don't need a big file size to show a big picture, just a little common sense - are you listening Owensboro?

I don't know for sure, but it's pretty close.  The face is 45mm in diameter.  They also make a 53mm version, but it swallows my wrist like a cheap hooker's balloon knot!

53mm!

My wrist is only a tiny bit wider than that.

Dude that site is awful. 

i began to wonder if there was some sort of intentional 'country' feel to it.  like, we're gonna build a raised pickup of a site, rather than a BMW.  so there!

i mean, if you look at all three of their individual sites, at least someone they know/someone that pays them knows someone who has a copy of Dreamweaver...  maybe this was a nephew project.
