  1. Hey guys been away a while. Found these videos on Youtube showing how they make Panerai watches, I thought I would share the links with you. It makes me wonder why they are so expensive to buy, the process is pretty generic. http://youtu.be/namj9CES-TE http://youtu.be/ZNcf5o9N3WA
  2. Haha but http://www.chrono24.com/en/others/popup_pic.htm?extwin=&popupmode=1&AD_ID=1627237&picnum=7&ow=640&oh=480&wascaptcha=0 what is "declarartion"? This is not even a real word - English is not my first language but I at least know this. Attention to detail brothers! Attention to detail! How can I trust this seller if they cannot even get something so simple correct?
  3. Hi guys Nos here, not been around for a while! So I have the itch for a new watch and I think either a cartel Prohunter GMTII or a Prohunter Sub is the way forward, with the Swiss movement. One of these will look badass on a Nato. I seem to remember there being issues with some of the GMTII modded movements - is this still the case? I presume the current cartel offerings are incorrect stack which I don't mind, were these the ones with an issue or was it the correct stack ones? Or should I avoid modded GMT altogether and plump for the Sub? Been away too long cheer, Nos
  4. Old 5513 beater here, I love this thing, it gets so much wrist time. It's starting to get all beat up, like a good beater should. Can you say SUPER DOME?
  5. I had a number of midrange gens and some neat reps - the reps got the most wrist time; so I sold my gens and put the money towards my mortgage. My wife now owns the only gen in our house, a great custom Rolex which she will treasure forever. I love watches "gen" or "fugezi" - at least with a rep if I trash a watch it's a few hundred $ down the drain and not thousands; I have other things to care about and don't care to have $10000 sitting on my wrist when I walk the dog Anyway if you do want to sell either of those watches pictured I'm sure you'll find man an eager buyer! Nos
  6. GT85 also works well - smells great and leaves a teflon finish
  7. Thanks TeeJay - the watch suits my wife very well; she's great fun and top quality
  8. Many thanks for the clarification man!
  9. Hey all, been away a while. Thought I would share a neat watch I bought for my wife. It's a custom Oysterdate (I think it dates from 1949 but not entirely sure, serial number 5157**). The dial has been painted with a Mickey Mouse emblem. It's on an aftermarket bracelet but the lugs are original. She loves it, and I think it's very cool. It has a great handwind movement. Anyhow, here are some pics, enjoy!
  10. Bravo Lani! I see beauty in the beast; I think I will order this one.
  11. Now we're talking - AMG are fantastic.
  12. Actually Bibbs I recently had the pleasure(?) of driving a Vauxhall Vectra from Scotland to London, and also a Vauxhall Astra from London to Manchester. I must say I was extremely impressed with the build quality and driving characteristics of both. I'm a terrible car snob, but these were genuinely impressive. The fact that thay are so uncool makes them cheap on the used market also.
  13. If you're over 50 get a Mercedes. I would avoid SAAB at all costs, they are nothing but rebadged GM crap these days. Lexus has more than a whiff of Alan Partridge about it ("I like to call it the Japanese Mercedes"). Having owned a stock evo9 and a stock e46 M3 they're not comparable; the evo was far more hardcore but the M was in a different league. Both were hideously expensive to run If you'll be spending ~
  14. PT that looks great, I would certainly be interested
  15. When mine die it will be the perfect excuse to buy new ones. I don't modify or spend too much money on my reps so it's no great loss if they get broken.
  16. This doesn't surprise me really - I'm not exactly rich but I'm not exactly poor either; I'd never spend much on any watch, no matter how much money I had. Besides, buy that $800 super rep, save $20k and put it towards an M5 or pay my mortgage off - good economics!
  17. Today it is my birthday, so I wear two
  18. Rolex + NATO == win
  19. It would look a bit like this:
  20. SSD for sure. The SOH looks like a bad Rolex rep in my opinion. It's hideous.
