  3. John Kerry is married to Teresa Heinz, heiress to the Heinz ketchup fortune. He races expensive sailboats for a hobby. I'll go out on a limb and say he can afford and probably possesses far more expensive watches than what we see here. In his role as a public servant, it's best to be understated.

  4. if you're a public servant it's likely better to wear less expensive things rather than flaunt your wealth. Perhaps the utility of this watch and its low cost is a statement on its own. Sent from the my iPhone using Tapatalk s

  5. Buyers: Do not pay gift or western union use PP and pay the damn 4% if sellers wants full asked, period. Sellers: If you are uncomfortable with a buyer and you feel they may get the watch claim some bullshit and screw you over do not sell to them!

  6. I got extremely lucky that the hands matched the dial, pure coincidence! Thanks guys, I only beat you because it was a simple dial swap, yours has to be built! Patience.. It's worth it!!

  7. Oligarchy aren't that stupid. They're always a few steps ahead in the marketing game. British Royal family is a good example. They actually have several PR teams between them working around the clock. In House too! Us plebs are easily placated

  11. I believe that sellers who break the rules should be punished. On the other forums, if you don't comply with the rules, your listing gets "nuked"!! Pretty easy way to keep sellers in line. Also, if a member removed photos price, etc from a sales thread, he should have a reasonable time to restore the information, if it's not done then suspend their sales privileges for a month or two. Second offense, double the ban, third time ban from selling permanently, also let the other forums know what's going on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15. I can't agree enough on sales of late, I've chimed in on as many as I can to politely ask for tagged pics, pricing etc etc and while most genuine members are forthcoming with requests some immediately think I'm trashing their sale thread, which I'm not, unless they are doing something dodgy on the sale that is don't like scammers, never have never will

  18. Hi, I am from Milan, I perfectly know where is Czech republic: I've walked through all Prague, killed my legs on the Eiffel replica tower, and I remember your beers, those nice little bars near Carlo's bridge, your gorgeous women and my secret desire is to lie with Markéta Štroblová Back in topic: there is no 8850... There is 7750, which is standard chrono with the subdials originally in this way: Then you may find it this way too, which is fine too but the date is lower than on the gen because of the extra gears added to relocate the subdials: Then there are the problematic ones with sec@6 (you see that the dial of the little seconds always running is near 6 on the main dial): Or sec @12: More on the chrono there is the rare and complex 7751: Then there is the 7753 (recognize it by the subdial configuration and the date set pusher around 10 on the case): These are all auomatic ones (they get charged with wrist movements). Reliable chrono, but handwind (you need to charge it every day or two) are the ones based on Venus 75 (sometimes also called Lemania or even 25j): Which has this amazing look behind:

  19. WOW!! You are asking about a books worth of questions right off the bat. First off, both of those sites you linked to are scam sites. You will pay those people big dollars and get a 50 USD junk street vendor quality watch, if you get a watch at all. If you want a replica, take mine and most everyone here's advice, buy from a trusted dealer on this or the other reputable Replica sites, RWI, RepGeek, or RWG.bz. If you want to donate your money, I can send you my PayPal address and you can send it to me. I'll put you on my Christmas card list and at least you will get a nice card every Christmas!! My advice to you sir, is before you buy any replicas, you need to do a lot of reading and research. There are lots of discussions here that will answer your questions. Here is my take on buying replicas and movements. The simpler the watch and movement the better chance it will be reliable. that is not a 100% guarantee, because these are replicas, and most of the movements are replica movements, which means that they are copies of ETA Swiss movements, they are not ETA Swiss movements. So if you buy say a Hublot replica with a copy of the ETA 2824 or 2836 movement it should be OK, As you go further up the line of complications, the more likely they are going to be troublesome. So the next in line would be a chronograph model which uses the A7750 movement. If you buy a chronograph with the seconds dial/hand at the 9 o'clock position, commonly referred to sec@9 , that is the normal position for the 7750 seconds hand, it should be OK as well. You will not get and ETA 7750 movement in any rep watch today. No matter what those scam sites tell you. ETA 7750 movements are hard to get and the price is more that 300 USD for a movement, so the rep manufacturers are not going to put a 300 USD movement in a 500 USD watch! So the next step up the line are chronographs with the seconds hand in a different position. These would be the Rolex Daytonas with the seconds at 6 (Sec@6) and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore (AP ROO) models with the seconds at 12 (sec@12) . These are what we commonly refer to as "time bomb" movements because they have a history of problems. Some people say that they have had several watches with these movements with no problems, but personally, I have 5 AP ROO's, and three of them have been trouble free, and the other two have been nightmares. So, personally, until you get a little more experience with replica watches, and get to know people who can repair your watch if it breaks, I would stay away from these movements. Stick to the simple non chronograph movements or the watches that have the A7750 movement but the seconds hand is in the correct position (Sec@9) AFA tourbillion movements, I have no experience, never owned one, and I don't know of a single rep repair person who will work on these movements. I believe that Seagull makes a pretty reliable Tourbillion movement, but I don't think it is used in rep watches unless it's the really high end ones that are around 1k. Another problem with these, most of these watches sell for a couple of hundred thousand dollars, so are you able to pull one of those off. all it takes is one of your buddies to see your watch, Google Hublot Tourbillion, and partner, your busted!!! So unless you are driving a Ferrari or equivalent, or just flew in on your private jet, I would stay away from watches like the tourbillion.

  20. You'll need to drill the case with a 3.6mm bit then tap with an M4x0.35mm pitch tap to correctly fit the Athaya tube.

  22. Here's how to ix it from the back side of the movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b83l-1DmlQ Edit: This is only for ETA, not 21j.

  23. A word of advice, get a decent size clear bag to put your hands and the movement inside until you know the calendar jumper spring (it's a tiny 'U' shaped piece of wire) is safe. 99% of the times I have done this operation the spring lets loose and you won't even hear it hit the floor it's so light. It will save you hours on your hands and knees Good luck!
