Steel vintage Day-Date today:

People new to the replica market expect to get genuine quality for replica prices. I see so many complaints on the board regarding quality, shipping, communications, and etc. I am not sure what these buyers expect, they aren't dealing with high end manufacturers. They are purchasing a replica item from a factory somewhere in China, with a middle man whose first language most likely isn't English. I can understand hoping to get a great deal without to many issues, or immediate tells. but people seem to forget these are replicas. If they want a 1:1 item, either buy a genuine article or build it yourself from parts. Their expectations are way to high, and when they don't receive that perfect replica they are ready to open disputes, or blast the dealers. This ruins it for everyone.

That's my point. They are listed as gen replacement by some dealers.

Had a Rolex-themed GTG with some friends today. I wore my 1016, but these were the highlights:

domestically ? I don't think anyone cares unless you happen to be a 90 yr old grandma in a wheelchair

I've stripped the case again, thoroughly dried everything, re-seated the crystal again, and replaced the rear gasket, and so far, the issue seems resolved Maybe the rear gasket got damaged while originally removing the caseback

TJ The reason you are seeing fogging in cold weather is due to the moisture in the watch being warmer then the cool air. Picture you car windshield. Let's say it is 75 degrees outside and you have your defrost on AC at 67 degrees. Ever notice that film of fogging that occurs on the exterior of the windshield that you have to use you wipers to clear? Same concept. Now it might not be leaking and instead you have intermittent moisture in it from when you replaced the crystal. Get yourself some silica packets, open the case back and put the silica packets and the watch in a ziplock bag and leave it for a day. Resell and test. If it fogs again you have a leak.

The watch here on rwg does look really good. My only problem is that at the moment I don't currently have the means of payment set up as generally I don't purchase things online. So I assume by the time I would be able to have these set up it would be sold.
