the thing i notice with these mbk based watches is the

overly big date mag

i never bought from them but i think they are ok. for $100 it looks pretty good.

good luck, welcome

i agree- for $100 you can't beat it.

this is already the 2nd price increase this year! they raised 10% a few months ago.

did they raise the DJ's too?

they are out of control. i bought a TT GMT last summer for $7500

now its 10k. that's a 33% increase in 1 year!!

i've definitely become a collector, now with almost 50 watches!

the truth is i can't wear them all that much, yet i don't seem to want to part with them

either.

i live in nyc and the store on madison & 57 street is tremendous.

a great place to check out almost any gen in the world. the prices are high,

but they do offer good trade ins. i just traded a watch for my girlfriend- they gave her $2300

for an old midsized rolex that was beat up and cost $2300 like 7 years ago. we got a TT air king for 5k.

why not consider the midsized YM?

i would assume his was a rep. nobody just takes off a gen watch and swaps it to a stranger.

but you never know...

looks good to me- practically brand new looking.

the new ones list for 9K now! i'd say you did very well.

i just got the white version recently from eurotimez.

chris suggested to get a gen dial to deal with the noob flaws.

i doubt too many 'civilians' will spot the gray markers.

you might have seen the pix i posted of the grand carrera!

it is a monster but i've gotten used to it. i even bought a hublot which is very big but again

doesn't wear quite as large. i have the same problem with the omega po- i wanted the 42mm not the 45mm.

i ended up ordering a gen because the rep of the smaller one is not as good as the large size.

the pam reps look very much like the gen. i have a 40mm gen

pam and a rep 40mm pam chrono. the layout is the same.

believe me- the 40mm is big enough, i have about a 71/2 inch wrist,

but i'm only about 5'7''. i usually won't go bigger than 42mm.

the actual size isn't everything- some watches wear bigger than others.

for example- i got the new Tag Grand Carrera and its 43mm but seems like 50!

on the other hand- i have an explorer2 thats 40mm but seems like 37.

there are 40mm Pams, not all are 44mm.

try the 40mm luminor marina.

the rollies are a good choice because they are mostly 40mm or under.

omega double eagle constellation @ 38mm is nice too.

those $100 watches are surprisingly good. i got the noob

YM with free shipping and its very nice. the mov't is crappy- but it works fine.

personally, i find it tacky. he could of given you a rep at least.

it looks nice, but compared to the monsters nowadays the DJ is small.

also- we've mentioned here that the gens seem to wear bigger even if they are similiar in size.

i have the same problem because i'm a rolex fan. even the new 40mm explorer2 i got seems

kinda small.

i think some people may have had problems with that

dealer, better check it out.

i've been looking at that one too. in fact maybe even the gen.

i did ask josh about it this week- he said the 45mm version is better-'super rep'.

i would prefer the 42mm myself- which he said was good but not made 1:1 like the

bigger one. and who really knows about the 'swiss' mov'ts???

i'll give you an extra hint. check out the BK over @ repgeek.

here's my TT blue version

For my first, and so far the only rep, I bought a Chopard GTXL (the 7750 version) from a trusted dealer. It came with a bunch of problems. The dealer asked me to mail it back with regular airmail. Due to the "customs problems" he can't receive fedex and such. I sent it and that was that. It has been over four weeks and the dealer said he never received the watch. I assume it's been stolen or lost or whatever

I cannot see how I can order from him again, and yet he is one of the "best" dealers here.

who is it?

i'll take 2!

when i got this Tag Grand Carrera i thought it was just too big.

in fact, i tried to sell it the next day but the guy chickened out.

now its kind of 'grown on me'

a couple of rollies- what else.

that's very cool. the ar is fantastic. thinking of the SS version-

they've come down quite abit.

2 HB BB's wow.nice watches wear them well.

i just picked up a used gen IWC aquatimer. they're cool!
