  1. By-Tor, Awesome review. Do you know if either of these watches are the same or comparable to the 14K verion that "Perfect Clones" sells for $308? Here is the link: http://www.pc-80108.com/rlst10002-wrapped-...362-p-2537.html Thanks
  2. Hi all, I have a noob sub with an asian 21J movement I bought during the group buy. The problem is that when screw down and tighten the crown the movement stops. I have to either not screw it down all the way or better yet leave it completely unscrewed. I could do this, but the watch looks "unfinished" like this and definitely takes away from the joy of owning the watch. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.
  3. I want one! Can you please post the link tot he web site or tell me how to contact seller? Thanks.
  4. I tried a gen on at Mayor's last week to see if I'd like the Steelfish because I heard its a great rep. I was suprised how thick, bulky and heavy it is. Don't you find it uncomfortable?
  5. Hey everyone, Just to set the record straight I live in Boca Raton, FL. I don't know what the back and forth jabs between Canadians and US is all about. Inside joke I guess. Anyway, I wore the watch to the shop and showed it to the guy. He must have been in a bad mood earlier because he was pretty friendly this time. I held it next to his briefly and I couldn't see any difference. He seemed indifferent and commented that the weight is probably different. I didn't press the issue. The bill for 2 tires, alignment and headlight on my 2002 CLK320 was $458. So I joked its a good thing I only paid $80 for a rep. He said he bought his about 8 years ago for $3000. I told him now they are close to $5K. I told him my dream watch was a gen TT Blue sub. He said he wants to get an all gold Daytona. Which I think costs around $25K if I'm not mistaken. We then sort of became buds as his first name is the the same as mine, Dean, which is not a common name at all. He proceeded to tell me that he never liked his name growing up and asked his parents to call him by his middle name. I told him I also told my mother I hated my name and to call Steve, Mike, Tony, anything but Dean. Funny how you can connect with someone when you find a common ground. Anyway, I know I went off subject, but it was still an interesting encounter that never would occurred if it wasn't for my TTK sub that I bought as a result of finding RWG
  6. I had a bit of an awkward exchange today with a front desk guy at Tires Plus today. He was wearing a 16610 sub. I immediately noticed it and studied it a bit while he was putting my order into the computer. It looked just like the one I bought from TTK for $80. Even the crown guards looked the same. I wasn't wearing mine. I told him, "nice watch". He said thanks. Then I couldn't resist, so I said I have the same one, but its not real. He then said to me annoyingly, "Well then it not the same one". I was surprised at the attitude so I said it looks the same and he said "yeah they make the fake ones look pretty real". I have to go pick up my car in about an hour. I'm going to wear my sub and show it to him if he's there and see the reaction.
  7. I bought mine from TTK for $80 in a group buy. Its now my favorite watch of all time and I've owned a LOT of watches costing a LOT more.
  8. Hike, I think you know already, but just in case...I got my 16610 3 - 4 weeks ago. I was DINO13 on this list.
  9. I see no practical advantages of an automatic over a quartz and find them to be a real pain in the butt. I appreciate the art and craftsmanship, but not the cost of maintenance, effort to keep them wound, accuracy, etc. I like the way autos sweep. Why can't they make a quartz that sweeps? I'm looking for a good analogies but can't really find one: How about these: Bently = automatic Honda Accord = quartz Pam Anderson = Automatic Jennifer Garner = quartz Original Van Gough = Automatic Van Gough lithograph poster = quartz Having a lion as a pet = automatic Having a house cat as a pet = quartz
  10. Is that a gen or a rep? Fantastic shot!
  11. Hike, I was listed as DINO13 on the group buy. Received my watch a couple of weeks ago.
  12. There is something seriously wrong with Povich
  13. Here is my last accuracy test update. lost another 17 sec today. In the last 72 hours it has lost a total of 52 sec. Extrapolated to 30 days means it would be projected to lose about 8 minutes.
  14. Hey guys, I noticed the Gen 16610 has ROLEXROLEX imprinted inside the rehaute (I think I'm saying that right), but on my rep its not there? Thanks
