  1. I would like to defend the A7750. I have quite a few and I have found them really reliable. Compare this to the last couple of Asian eta clones have bought, They have not worked we'll at all. Low reserve and loose time during the day. I had a B01 that was stolen, just ordered another to replace it. It was a fantastic rep. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. I bought mine a rep tag, we were passing a watch shop, and mentioned she liked it, so I said I can get one. Logged onto the web site, "insert preferred dealer here" :-) Showed her the pics and let her decide. She did not care it was not genuine, just so long as it looked the same! Just remember they are not as obsessed as we are. They are more driven by looks, so as long as it looks good, then they will love it. They will not. Obsess over the smallest details. Show her the pic on one of the web sites and leave it to her.
  3. Hey, i love blue! Well better than the horrible Blue tint that comes on the UPO. The HBB AR was pretty much destroyed and needed to be either taken off or redone. I will post a review when i get them all back. Even Chief had to start from somewhere.
  4. I have 3 Crystals as a part of his second run. The are at the AR lab as we speak and should be back in 2 - weeks.
  5. Couldn't help myself, i ordered another one! Different dealer though. I hope i get better luck with this one than i did with the last. I just wish that they had updated the movement to the 28K one.
  6. I bought one of these a while back and it had the 21K movement. It lasted 5 Days and died. Shipped it back to the dealer who claims they never received it! It was an amazing rep, it is not completely accurate but it was stunning. The two movements look the same to me, and the fact that no-one else offers a 28K movement version of the same watch, makes me wonder if it is a 28K movement. If it was 28K i would pick another up in a heartbeat. Good luck, i am still tempted to get another one. but not from the original dealer.
  7. So with an aftermarket AR how would this one stack up? From the pics it is a very classy looking watch. I have a V2 BCE and it is pretty much the watch i wear on a regular basis, well that and an UPO. I mean for the $ V's quality, i don't think many of the reps out there stack up to the BCE.
  8. Has anyone bought one of these yet? May not be accurate, but then again the dealer pics do suck sometimes. Thanks
  9. Melbourne here as well :-) Sounds like fun.
  10. I bought the watch and i was worried that i wouldn't like it, but when i opened the box, i was in love. Shame the movement only lasted 4 days before it died. It has the 21K 7750 in it. Sent it back to the dealer but claims that it was never received. I'm a little [censored] off at that. But the risk you take i guess. Still heartbroken over it. Wont send items back to China again, Had a TAG Link chrono that was stuffed, sent it back, the dealer took months before they said it arrived and then sent it back still broken. I wish i still had it, i got a sec at 9 APROO but dont love it as much as this one.
  11. Looks like one of Melbournes most beloved newsreaders and his wife have perished in the fire. CHANNEL Nine veteran Brian Naylor and his wife Moiree have been confirmed dead in the fires at Kinglake West, Sky News reports. Grew up watching his news reports.
  12. One of the dealers i spoke to about the new datefont said that it came in on a batch of 7750 movements and that they were all out at the factory. It sounded like it was a once off thing? No idea why. I ordered mine anyway, I hope i can live with it.
  13. Hey, thanks for the link rodwc, Pretty much what i was looking for. Except now the Graphite dial is speaking top me. Most other watches, there is never any question as to which dial to get. I think the EVO and the ROO are the two exceptions. I may have to ponder this for another day or two. Thanks again.
  14. I am so torn, i have decided to pick up a BCE, but for the life of me i cant decide on a dial colour. I love the Black with the silver sub dials, but i also love the graphite dial with the graphite sub dials. That and i have soo many black dialed watches already, although the silver sub dials would set it apart. The only thing holding me back from sending the money is the dial color. Anyone have a opinion which dial is closest to the original, and the most stunning visually. Thanks.
  15. I emailed the dealer, and will wait and see if anything can be done. I just thought someone might of found a screw out of something else might of done the job. I hope that the dealer can replace the screw. I have to admit that they are so tiny that you have to really look to see it is missing. Thanks anyway.
  16. Does anyone here have an idea where i could find a screw that would fit the bezel of the new SO Heritage. Got the watch yesterday and one of the tiny screws is missing. Not happy, but i thought id ask the question just in case the supplier cant get any. Thanks.
  17. Im in the same boat waiting for my SuperOcean Heritage 2008-04-07 19:00:00 NANNING Posting   2008-04-08 12:38:16 NANNING Arrival at Sorting Center   2008-04-08 15:00:09 NANNING Despatch from Sorting Center   2008-04-09 14:47:00 GUANGZHOU Despatch from Sorting Center
  18. I don't know "Car Bras" sold a few.
  19. The question has to be asked, what were you searching for when you found this little gem?
  20. I have the Rose Gold VC Malte Chrono, I cant say that i have worn it to death, but i have worn it and it has no marks whatsoever. The Rose Gold IWC is calling My name though :-)
  21. There is a post on the Dark Side about the Rose Gold on the IWC St Exupery Chronograph. "Concerning the RG plating. "The rose gold won't fade.....it's not gold plating....it's PVD finsih.....I've had my radiomir 213 for 18 months...regular wear and it's showing no signs of fading.....same for an 8 days that I have had for longer......!" This is a quote by TTK - he has really some knowledge about reps so I believe he is not making this up." That is if all of the rose gold finishes are the same, who knows right! But if it is a PVD finish there should be no worries.
