  2. I have another mini rant that is in line with Daniel's Scammer scenario. It's about those people, like this guy, who PM you that they want the watch, or part or strap. Usually there are a couple of scenarios, first after they say, I'll take it, they then want more photos from specific angles, etc. So you have to either dig out more photos or take more.All this takes time. When folks ask me for more photos, I'm glad to comply, but they have to send me their email address for additional photos. The second and frequent scenario is they PM, "I'll take it" then when you PM them back, they want to beat you down on the price!! "Can you do the deal for 300.00 USD rather than your 350.00 USD asking price. or will you send it express mail to Bulgaria, included in the sale price"? Now first off, when you PM me that you want it, that means at the stated price, and the stated conditions, which in my sales threads usually is, "Watch will be shipped USPS Priority Mail w tracking within the CONUS, sales outside the CONUS are at the actual cost of the shipping". How clear is that? So why do folks tell you they want something, and then try to change the conditions of the sale? If you want a deal, PM me and ask me if I can reduce the price, change the shipping, add and extra strap, etc. for the same asking price. I can either answer yes, or no, I can't. Simple as that. But telling me that you want the item, then try to beat me down after you tell me you want it. doesn't sit well with me at all. And when I have gone through all of these steps and we agree on a deal, and then you suddenly disappear, it infuriates me to the point that unless you come back, which I know you won't, with a good excuse, I more than likely wouldn't sell to you anyway. I know that everyone who sells on our sales forums has been subjected to all of the above. It's frustrating and time consuming to have to deal with people who are "Playing". I wish we could have a list ,only viewable by VIP and above members with a list of " Disappearing time wasters". I know that there often legitimate excuses as to why someone doesn't complete a sale, but there is absolutely no excuse for someone not sitting down at their computer, tablet or phone and sending a short PM to the seller, "I'm very sorry, but something has come up and I'm not going to be able to buy your watch. GLWS and thanks for your time and effort, it's sincerely appreciated" If you take 30 seconds to PM me a message, I will understand, but if you leave me hanging,I can promise you If you come back later and want to buy something, I will not hold it for one second for you, and it isn't yours until the money is in my PayPal account.

  3. Guys, I have been making custom dw's for AP ROO's for over a year. I am able to produce this as well for the IWC Ingenieur. The only thing I need are buyers hehe. There is an MOQ, I'm not talking about DWO's but actual datewheels produced in Switzerland. I currently did a second round of AP datewheels, for about 40 interested members. Cost per datewheel is $68 + $10 shipping due to the low quantity that has been produced.

  5. I purchased from Andrew, Omega 300 - arrived beautiful - great QC pics and communication. He was very helpful and easy to work with. The watch runs great, holds power and is everything I hoped it would be. +1 for this guy. I would also buy from PureTime without reservation.

  8. I think the white on black date wheel looks so much better than black on white. I'm surprised that more OEM's didn't choose to do it this way.

  10. "Fantasy model" is a more accurate description. An homage does not feature the original's branding.

  14. Sry about flame.... but I am slightly [censored] every time when I see such post... here or in brand section topic or somewhere else where it does not belong You are new here, not vip member- you cant start WTB topic... instead of paying VIP member monthly payment and wihtout making new WTB section topic you will make this "topic"-hoping somebody will read it and offer to you this wanted watch...am I wrong`? Folks, dont make these "fake-no cost" WTB topic`s elsewhere when WTB section. Thats why we have WTB and sales section. Maybe I am wrong and too mean... if so, sry. I am not VIP- supporting member also... But, back to question, trusted dealers are listed there where is sales section, they all probably have this Omega version. + when watch is bought as new from dealer, you will have chance to change watch if no good + price difference between new and used is not so big, I will always go for new.

  15. DB, When I first fell in love with your 5513 3 months ago, it inspired me to trim down my collection and get one as well. Thank you for all your help along the way. I know I had about a million questions.

  18. This week I received from Andrew the TAG Heuer Carrera Chrono Day-Date Model 2008, this watch has not been reviewed before so I worked on it, I hope you enjoy it. This version has been arround for a short time, at least at Andrew's site was added on November 2008. This rep is build using a 41 mm case so I think the size discrepancy with the gen (43 mm) avoid it to become a popular rep as fast as other reps. So if you are one of those hardcore Rep Geek (sometimes I do so ), who could not live with a 2 mm flaw, stop reading now. But I must warn you, you are going to miss a lot of photos from a really good looker watch. Thanks to our fellow DonGato for let me use his TAg for this review. The Gen Brief History: The Carrera chronograph was introduced in 1964, designed by Jack Heuer, great-grandson of Edouard Heuer who founded the company bearing his name in 1860. Heuer launched the first Carrera in tribute to the
