  1. I haven't attended military academy. I'm from Norway and I am a captain in the Norwegian Army. Signals My contract runs out in three years from now. After that, if I choose to continue in the military I will have to go through 6 months of academy. Don't know if I will do that yet... A good advice. I love the Rolex Datejust that I somebody recommended, but you might be right. I wouldn't have been able to afford the gen, and it might be "weird" to have it on..? As a side note, I actually had to convince my boss that I hadn't spent a ton of money on my Avenger Skyland. He didn't believe that it was a rep at first
  2. Wow! I can hardly believe how many has chimed in to help me with this request. You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for all your kind help and comments. I have been busy the last day but now I have looked at all the watches that you have mentioned. I must say that I like the SMP. I haven't looked at it before, but I see now that it is a beauty. Also the Rolex Datejust II is stunning! I'm at my parents' house now and my father saw that I was looking at the Datejust and he just said: "get me one of those!" Okey... the blue Tudor Snowflake. Where can I buy it? I've googled the snowflake on a Nato-strap and it looks great! Really cool, down-to-earth AND classy, all at the same time. Are the reps good?
  3. I like the Chronomat Evolution. It looks good. I have an Avenger Skyland 1st edition with a deep grey/black dial. It's a big watch and I am looking for something with a case that doesn't stand out so much. The Chronomat Evolution looks too much like the one I have. The Tudor Snowflake wasn't something I fell for, unfortunately... I'll keep looking and please come with more suggestions
  4. Hi everybody, I want to buy a new replica that goes well with a dark grey army uniform and I want one with a blue dial. Preferably one that has a blue color that can go together with a star sapphire. I know it's a special request. Just flow with me Thanks
  5. Thank you Subbie, I considered buying it to make money on selling it. Thanks for you input. It is valued.
  6. Hey ya´ll, I´ve been offered to buy an Ingersoll watch and it´s supposed to be sold at a bargain price due to a close down of a store for gen watches (in Spain). I had never heard about Ingersoll before so I have tried to find out about them. I found this site: http://www.ingersoll-uhren.at/ Can any of you tell me if these watches are gens or reps? They are cheap so if they are gens I´ve been offered to buy one that is MORE expensive than these.. I hope you have any information about this. I wasn´t much smarter after I did a search for Ingersoll here on this forum either so I hope somebody can chime in and enlighten me. Thanks ya´ll! Krister
  7. Thank you for your help! I was a bit eager to get a strap so I went ahead and ordered a BoB-strap for my watch. Does it usually take a lot of time for them to process the order? I punched it through 2-3 days ago and it says that it´s "Processing". I find it weird. It didn´t take me to a payment site either. I chose that I wanted to use Paypal and the next thing was that I finished the purchase without being taken to the paypal site and without offering any paypal-info.
  8. I didn´t understand anything of that, but it probably doesn´t apply to my "problem" Thank you for your input all. I have told the dealer about it and he asked me to clean it and let it stay out in the sun. Doesn´t work. So I´ll e-mail back and see what happens. I like the BOB straps. Could you post a picture of the Skyland on the honey tan strap assimplefarmer?
  9. Hi guys, Yesterday I received my first replica watch, a V3 Skyland. I dig it! It looks awesome and it has that serious weight to it that makes it feel like a gen And it gives my left arm a real workout, jk I want to write a review on it. It´ll be my first review and it will be from the standpoint of a total noob, but hey, it might be entertaining at least, hehe. I bought it together with a ss bracelet and a black leather strap that has "Breitling Manufacturé en Suisse 22-20 120, 435X" etc on it. I´m writing all that so that you may be able to recognize which one it is I´m talking about. The thing is though that this morning when I walked into our bathroom it smelled like mold in there. The same smell as you find in old cabins or in houses with really, really, really old people living I could´t find the source of the smell, so I just put on the watch, did my routine and went to work. After a couple of hours, with the mold-smell following me, I finally realized that it came from the strap. It smells horribly! Have anybody in here experienced the same thing with a strap bought from one of the forum´s trusted dealers? What should I do? I don´t want to wear it so I had to swap back to the ss bracelet. Is there something I can do to get the smell away? Some kind of wash or something? Thanks I enjoy the watch though. My boss asked me today how in the world I could afford or choose to buy an expensive watch like this when I have a 6 month old girl in the house (and when he knows that he doesn´t pay me enough to take care of her and buy a gen breitling, lol). When I told him it was a rep he didn´t believe me at first and thought I just wanted to avoid answering his question about spending all that money
  10. I was trying to go to the The Zigmeister´s 101 link, but the post is not found. How can I get the links to work? Anybody who can help me out?
  11. Thank you for your inputs, guys. I appreciate it! I didn´t know the difference between V2 and V3 and just went with the highest number I´m sure I´ll like it! I´ll e-mail them back and let them know that it looks good. Would you have mentioned the 10 s/d? Hopefully I can buy a couple of leather straps later. What kind of tool do I need to swap the ss and the straps myself?
  12. Hey ya´ll Thank you for a great forum. I have been lurking around here for a little while and have learnt much from reading your posts. After reading By Tor´s review of the Ebel Discovery Panda I went ahead and ordered one from Angus. It didn´t go through because they couldn´t get a hold of one for me. Finally, after looking around a lot, I decided to order a Skyland. Angus told me that the 1st version updated (as it is on his webpage) is in fact the V3. Can any of you verify that for me from the pictures below? Is there anything in the pictures that you wouldn´t have bought yourself (if you were interested in a Skyland that is, hehe)? I also ordered a black leather strap with it but I don´t see it in the pictures. I should probably ask them about that, right? What about the 10 seconds a day issue? Is that bad? Could I ask them to adjust it for me or would you rather ask them to get another one? Thank you very much for your help! Looking forward to get my new watch home
  13. Well... I just received an e-mail from Angus. He says that they are out of the Ebel 1911 series. Bummer! Now I have to choose another watch, maybe another brand. This is not easy. It took me 2-3 weeks to find the Ebel one and I knew it was the one I wanted. Back to scratch.. I have looked at the Tag Heuer link chronograph. Any suggestions?
  14. Ahh, thank you for the information, Slask. I wasn´t worried that I wouldn´t receive an answer eventually, but I´m was just getting annoyed by not getting a response. Now that I know it´s not a problem. Stuff happens from time to time and I will be considerate Don´t worry, be happy
  15. Thank you! I hope so too, but I haven´t received a confirmation from Nikki or anyone else from PureTimeWatch for that matter... I have e-mailed Nikki twice and sent a feedback e-mail yesterday. Nothing back. Any tips as to what I should do? I have already payed for the Panda version, so they have my money...
