Deckard, that Blackbay... I just love that watch. Here's one on my wrist. Of course, on my wrist today, The Big Pilot

I'm loving that Black Bay The closest I have is the UPO

Good Morning everybody

That's a tough one. I would do lots of research before it gets shipped. Problem with the shipping companies, they are really vague about what they will insure when it comes to high dollar items. I would surely use the premium service if available, such as FedEx overnight, or UPS overnight. It's going to cost a bunch, but if you lose that watch, someone is going to be out a pile of money!! Before shipping make sure you and the seller are on the same page with everything. Have him take several photos of the watch, the watch in the packing box, and then after the box is sealed and ready to ship. Photos with the address label, and customs declaration form, to establish that is the same box. I would declare it for it's full value and have it insured for that amount, as in most cases, you can only buy insurance up to the amount of the declared value. The seller needs to treat this as a genuine watch, not a 200 USD rep. He really should find out which of the shipping companies will ship high value items with full insurance. Some will tell you, "Sure we will insure it for up to 25K, but if it gets lost, they show you that minute print clause that says watches and jewelry are only insurable up to 500 USD. I know that watch and jewelry dealers have special companies that write insurance for high value items. Things get shipped all the time, every watch, diamond ring, bracelet, etc. has to be shipped, probably multiple times, from the manufacturer to the selling dealer. Someone is insuring that stuff every step of the way, you just need to find out who and if it's available to individuals.

For Wednesday, the GMT Master II, Blue / Black (Batman).

Anytime for you Glad to of been of help

Thanks SSTEEL, I think it's called a Pin Punch. Here's one on eBay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/251290251248?lpid=83&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=83

Joshua (Perfect Clones) and Andrew (Trusty Time) decided to cover a rough 50% of my costs! Big applause and a big thanks!

No worries on the blue ar on the crystal. I am wearing my Fiddy as I write this and the blue is very evident. Looks great. wear it well.

Looks great especially at that price point we all get hooked up on the expensive stuff but it's sometimes the cheaper piece that you wear more that you love

I WISH I LEARN THAT TRICK BUYING A WATCH FOR UNDER 100 BUCKS! EVEN MY BUDGET 6538 BUILD COST ME 900 BUCKS !!!

Even better!!

Nice one Deckard! Hublot Big Bang Rose Gold for me today:

Well done!

Nice gift, great wife. Happy wife, happy life!!

For Tuesday, the GMT Master II, Blue / Black.

Only because of this thread, I realized that I'm a 702 crown hoarder....

I chose Trusty for my first purchase, best website in my opinion. Super fast communication and pay pal friendly, 4 watches later and I won't be using anyone else. Fingers crossed it all works out for you.

Other than the lugs, it just looks the same as a dozen other ones. A $500 watch with a $150 movement that they'll sell for $6000. I just don't get it.

Been wearing this since it came in ,a replacement for the raffled one.

So it is done. I ordered it from Andrew. I am so excited:D my first order AND first rep. Hope there will be no problems shipping to germany.

BP is good because we were comparing it to a V1 when it first showed up but honestly the BP isn't that great unless you mod it. It comes 9/10 times with way to much date mag, crap buckle, overly tightened bezel and a poor clasp writing. V2 model shows that they really paid attention to detail. There is no curviture that is sloping off to the side as per gen like BP has instead the lugs are flat and slope down really giving the watch a nice squared up stance which is a very strong gen like feature in case design. Everything else has been fixed compared to BP 116610 such as good date mag, nice AR, great glide lock clasp, smooth bezel, etc.
