  1. I'd probably expect this model to pop up around Christmas time.
  2. I have the Aqua Terra with the 8215 decorated movement. I can't add anymore to what the other posters have said. I'm curious if the 9015 movements are really 28.8k? I was thinking about picking up a Portofino rep powered by the 9015.
  3. I've bought from them before. They sell your basic cartel watches, working under the same umbrella as Watcheden. Pretty much the same watches the TDs have. But m2u charges 25-30% more for 'Swiss' movements.
  4. I've seen that most TDs carry that model, though it's usually offered with the jubilee bracelet. I'm sure it wouldn't be any trouble for the dealer to exchange it with the oyster bracelet you want.
  5. I wonder if rose gold wears off a different rate than yellow gold? I've been craving a rose gold dress watch for years.
  6. In Ray Donovan, the title character gives his son an IWC Portuguese that's an obvious rep. There's a close-up of the watch when he hands the watch to the boy, you can see the chronograph hand ticking, while the small seconds hand is stationary. Also Ray gives his away a yellow gold Daytona as a bribe in another episode. That one was an obvious rep. http://watchesinmovies.info/?s=ray+donovan
  7. Why would they use the a7750 movement? Surely a 2836 or 24 would have worked perfectly well for a standard 3 hand piece. Unless there's some secondary function I'm not seeing.
  8. The engravings on the side were the dealbreaker for me. I couldn't live with seeing the xxx/2000 engravings on the case every day. But to each his own.
  9. Is it a sandwich dial? Has Omega attempted this before?
  10. That particular model has it's flaws: chrono pushers too thick, incorrect day/date font, 12 and 6 hour markers off, too thick overall, and most obviously wrong style hands. The movement with the seconds running at 9 doesn't have problems usually. The bigger problem is it does not accurately replicate the look of the genuine watch very well.
  11. +1 on the high cannon pinions. if they've got them, I'm in.
  12. If you really want to charge your superluminova, hit it with a UV light. UV flashlights can be had on amazon for pretty cheap. I bought mine for around 8 USD.
  13. Although it may be out of your price range, you should check this guy out: http://www.watchrecon.com/?user_name=peter.watchacc&has_image=1 If you do go for genuine croc and you won't regret it. I believe he does custom work as well.
  14. The new Tank Anglaise looks great, but do yourself (and wife) a favor and stick to stainless models. As far as the selection being mens, most are more sensibly sized between 36-42mm and the mid-sized are around 30-36mm.
  15. This is the one you have been searching for, and at a good price: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=43&products_id=842&zenid=b33cacd87892f9364eb247e732b21147
