I did consider it but then "polishing a turd" phrase came to mind, plus I am not really a fan of massive watches. In my line of work (programming) "geeks" are generally unimpressed by anything that is too flash or doesnt contain a CPU/RAM combo.. lol I think I will pass it on to a "friend" instead after I have cheked out the movement etc... Any ideas on what I should be looking out for to identify/evaluate movement?

how about this one: Kalashnikov Justice AK-2282.02

thank you guys. Yeah I should have used google really. I didnt expect the gen to be so cheap. I think I am getting one tomorrow.. :-)

I cant see any images if i copy paste the image url into my browser I get an "page not found" http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t320/tourbillon1801/pilot%20watches/45mm%20pilot/45mmpilotdrawing013.jpg I think the images are down..

I bought the same watch too (awaiting delivery) from Precious Time. I rather like the look of Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph I think this baby is on my list as the next purchase..

Hiya, I just saw a pic of Kalashnikov Justice AK-2282.02 in Pix's topic here I have to say its a beautiful watch, very macho and sexy.. Does anyone know where in UK can I buy this watch? Roughly how much can one expect to pay for a gen? Thanks

LOL, yeah thats what I thought of it when it was given to me by a friend who got back from china. needless to say I havent worn it as yet but was interested to find out how (and who) would make a replica such as this... One the good side, the lume is serving as a nightlight.

lol.. what a bunch of loosers. Thats just made my day.. haha.. as for the watches, I am trying to get myself to like Hublots, I am very new to the idea of watches with this distinct style.. the black one looks quite cool though

I know I have hacked it to bits and also removed the crown guard.. but is this a fantasy watch or is it based on a real model? Anyone got any information on this?

Got carried away with my Canon 350D yet again, this time its my Tag Carerra (calibre 360) - i think its a fantasy watch. At the time I didnt know much about watches I guess... I still love it despite its flaws..

Hey guys,Since I have a passion for watches and photography, I could think of nothing better than take a few snaps of my beloved (yet quartz) Tag Monaco for your viewing pleasure. I picked up this baby in india at a time when I didnt know too much about watch movements and hence didnt know that original tag monaco was automatic.. hehe...none the less here are some pics (taken with canon 350D + 50mm prime). Lighting on the pics is a little off though... so what do you guys think....

I ordered from Precious Time, he is an EU dealer. gimme him a shout

thank guys, I couldnt see this one on the patek philippe website. can anyone give some info regarding model number etc, perhaps a link to a dealer website?

LOL.. no mate I am not who you think I am :-P

thanks mate, any info on the model number etc for this? also is there a website or a contact for HKTAN?

ooh I love the Patek too. I think it looks very classy

same here, I loved the look of it but was scared to make a dud investment, ended up ordering a iwc 3717 from PT. As for my next purchase I got my eyes set on this Patek Philippe

hiya guys.. anyone know what this beautiful watch is known as? Has anyone bought this? please share your experiences, pics and reviews.

hooray, finally placed an order with PT tonight. cant wait for this baby to arrive. Anyone know where I can order this strap in UK?

Hiya guys, Another post from a noob to this forum and the rep game... Are there any good (near original) replicas of the gen watches that use quartz movement? I dont mean quartz replicas of genuine automatic watches.. I mean quartz gen -> quartz rep Whats your fav ones? post pics please...

Wow, lucky you mate, any perticular reason you are going to do the swap? Is it more of a preference or necessity? Mind if I ask re the costs involved (sorry I am new to the whole game) I was in 2 minds if I should get the 3719 too. I think I might just have to wait.. Does The Zigmeister handle repair/mod requests from UK too? Or is there someone else capable of the job in UK?

I am glad I posted in the forums. Within a few minutes I not only got the answers I was looking for but I am now ready to buy the watch. may I ask the critical question guys: how much did you pay for your IWC 3717 from PT? Please PM me if you want to discuss this in private..

oh and another question: has anyone bought the IWC 3717 from Precious Time UK? I have read a lot of good things about his service on this forum. Any comments on the build quality etc of his version of IWC 3717 are much valued. EDIT: just read through scoobs1971's review of IWC 3717 purchased from PT. nice one scoob, its helped me a lot.. excellent pics too.

I think thats the best way to look at things at the moment. Its cheaper than getting a swiss eta rep plus I can get a taste of my first automatic rep. So far I have been wearing the cheap quartz reps I had picked up from india. haha.
