SQL: If its working ... stay with this.

Thanks Capice. Yeap ... subdials look exactly as gen. Lovely watch and fantastic pictures. ...... so temptimg Do I get the APROO or this .... or maybe both ;-)

... so that it means that these things are only happening to me ??? Damn .. ...so By-Tor was right then ....

You guys you are mean

Agios Konstantinos at Kammena Bourla: I've been there many years ago. Very nice place.

@Dani: Very sorry with what happened. It also happens to me now and then. .....( By-Tor was saying that these things only happen to me ...... but sadly I am not the only one). During the last three years I had three watches lost in mail and two clearly stolen. I am only receiving and sending insurred now ..... but that's an extra of 10 Euros for every shippment. (10

Ahhhhh..... Greek sea side and a nice cup of "frapogalo" (Ice coffe with milk). I missed them much. Kostas , where these fotos were taken ??? Very nice.

Its for an EL old RX SD. I will add a red generic bezel insert (or blue.... can't decide) and I am off to the water. .....oops ... forgot to say thanks any way.

Guys , Do you remember these acrylic (or plastic) transparent watch bands ??? ........ they were "in fashion" a couple o years ago. I was wondering if these watch bands can be found around as stand alonewatch bands. So far I can only find them attached to a similar (transparent) watch case...... case and watch band as one thing all together. Here is an example. ... I have a couple of old RXs want to modify and bastardize for summer wear and car wash only.

....good times will be back See you around mate.

You need a Pin , a plastic hammer and a watch case holder. Search on ebay ...... they sell the pack (of watch tools ..... all china made) for less than 15 usd. This pack contains all the necesarry tools mentioned above.

Eventually bolld will go off and you eye will heal. Sorry for what happened and wish you fast recovery Rob.

How things have changed since the "Paint it black" was published. Then had no money not even for a quartz ..... now an IWC.

I think the only visible difference when compared to the gen , are the subdials. On the rep are flat where (I think) on the gen are raised and with an angle. Despite of this is a pretty neat rep. Edited: I am correcting this for the flat subdials on the Rep. Silix got up a new picture now with more detail and the subdials look like on the gen.

Vey nice the Panda dial. Capice: is the crown standing a bit high or is not fully screwed-in ??

I am thinking for one of these. What you got ??? black or white ???

The "Jandrews" of the forums they do not just make a profit ...... they totally abuse the prices.

For my there is no doubt about it. One is spending more money with Reps than with genuines for sure. I (as an example) I am buying 4 reps a years (at $ 350 each average). Thats: 1400 USD a year. Plus about 100 usd for sending watches back and forth (QA things). Plus $ 300 (anual) for mods. Plus $ 200 for some repairs. So that makes a total 1800 to 2000 USD a year. I dont buy trhough 2 gens a year for 1000 USD each (stupid me). If you have the "bug" ..... one or two watches a year is not enough. With Gens (assuming complete absence of reps from the market) one will learn to control trhe "bug".

I got the 029 from him too (swiss 2893-2) ... same price as yours. These pieces are now selling for 700+ USD without any modifications. And the Mr Sunshine .... was a great guy and great sence of humour.

U-boats are with 50 mm dial , isnt'it ??? Who dares !!!

Check Toyal Mail web site. They do have something like "International Air insurance" or similar .....

Bien hecho Francisco. Que ondea la bandera. Great review. Thanks The Zigmeister for the feedback.

There are bad signs all over this new AP ROO secs at 12. Can tell if its due to the modification of the movement (some guys who I personally consider with a knowledge similar to The Zigmeister , say that the movement mod even though not as bad as the one with secs at 6 ..... still is a time bomb mainly due to the way it is assembled )....... or maybe we just have a case of a very bad movement production batch (...we have seen cases like this in the past). Either way ..... I will hold and not get this one .... untill there is enough input from members regarding good performance. Do we know if The Zigmeister had the chance to inspect the movement ???

Accept it and pay that $25. Even though it shouldn't be that way ...... its a common practice amongst the dealers. This is most likely due to the fact that the value of the stolen watch is covered by the dropshipper, while shipping cost is paid directly from the dealer.

Nice pics. I like the "watch in a mirror" and "the fly on my watch" ones.
