  1. Keeping my fingers crossed here and hoping for the best but...has anyone ever seen or heard of a Chronoswiss opus with A750 movement? i and going back and forth with a guy on ioffer :unsure: who has one for sale. Picts look GEN but not the typical studio ad shots.

    I requested a couple of live shot photos to be sure but i have mu doubts. This would be awesome if true as there has NEVER been any accurate chronoswiss replicas and happens to be my favorite brand. anyone have any insight?

    Here is a link to the listing in question http://www.ioffer.com/i/Chronoswiss-Opus-95-LNIB-Skeleton-Watch-RARE-119501687

  2. Although i have never personally purchased from this seller, others on this forum have. You could also provide this picts to other dealer to see if they can source it for you.

    Good luck. Let me know how it goes as i may purchase another as the orginal one i had has been dismantled for parts.

    As a matter of fact check with Stan (WBK time) as was the dealer who originally soured this watch for me and is an excellent dealer !

  3. thanks for the direction, budda. Have you purchased from these guys before?

  4. newbee to rep community, just saying hello to everyone !!!

    by the way , reading lots of posts by the gurus and senior staff and members, I took the first step of placing my first order at Eurotimez. I'm looking forward to see and inquire more about this hobby at this site. many thanks.

    Welcome i'm in northern California as well. Be careful this hobby is very addicting !

  5. Ok, someone please hook me up to the pipeline! Can anyone point me in the direction of a Lange of the sort I've mentioned? Can I convince you to sell me or trade me yours? eh, eh?

    Here ya go http://www.timeshops.net/A_Lange_Sohne_automatic_630.htm underneath all that plastic, the watch is actually pretty accurate and well replicated asoide from the open case back and movement. I had this version at one point and loved it. perfectly dressy. It should be about 39 - 40mm if i remember correctly.

  6. Cmon guys...help a brother out here...please

    Honestly if you love the watch and would like to wear it, i suggest purchasing another case set. Swapping the movement into the new case set isnt all that difficult.

    Even if you find a spare chrono pusher, it may just as well fall out again. Save yourself the trouble and replace the case. Josh should be able to source one for $85

  7. Since the day I purchased my Navitimer World, the Pusher has always been loose and unsecured. I was en-route to my watch-smith when I finally lost it.

    Does anyone know where I might be able to located this chrome top pusher? (Dealers have been of no help).

    Might anyone have this part, or watch as parts that I can buy from them??

    Thanks in advance

    Unfortunately the same thing happened to me (same watch). You may have to source another case set. I know this is a pain but Josh was able to source mine for $85 plus shipping.

    Good luck!

  8. Thanks for the pics. This just reminds me of how bad I need a good digital. The cell phone pics are embarrassing. The Hublot you have is very nice but like you I would say "not enough contrast". I just picked up a BBH with the polished ss and black ceramic bezel.(301 rx) It really gives it that POP. Thanks again for sharing your colliction. :) Mike

    Thanks for the kinds words. I am far from a good photographer and the camera i use could be better but hey i tried right. ;).

  9. Here is my small but effective collection. Most were purchsed from Josh at perfect clones.

    First up is the Breitling blackbird. A georgeous watch with very effective AR coating (albeit too blue). I lovethe brushed finish with the faceted link pieces. although a little small for me it wears pretty well with casual jeans on a weekend or friday, or crisp dres shirt for weekday use.

    Next up is the IWC 5004 big pilot. Another nice watch i wear during the work week but fits eaqually well on the weekends.

    I replaed the pilots trap for a shiny croc strap picked up from the bay

    Next we have the Breitling Navitimer world. I purchased this from Ruby many years ago. At one point i disassembled the wach and sandblasted the case and strap. Not satisfies with the results i purcased a repacement case from Josh. Unfortunately the case set did not come with a crown so i had to to use the sandblasted one. This is the reason for the funny crown. Since then josh has graciously shipped me a replacemet crown and i am eagerly awaiting its arrival. now on tothe picts.

    Here we have a cheap fleamarket special of the Breitling Super Avenger blobby pearl and all. This version is not very accurate has faux chrono and horrible mineral crystal. I purcased this to gauge the size and werability of this watch as it is a huge chunk of metal. No need to buy the ultimate version if it will just look like a clock on my wrist :p needless to say i hardly wear it!

    And finally we have the Hublot Big bang full ceramic including endlinks, and titanium bezel. I am sad to say this watch although beautiful dosent ring my bell. Overall the wath is too dark and dosent have enough contrast for my taste. I do however wear it with jeans on the weekend. This watch jsut doest fit well in a business professional setting. Think crisp white shirt or suit and an all black Hublot :thumbdown: it just dosent work. I may end up giving this to the wife.
