  1. I did some 'searching' for WatchWoot, seems on RWG that several members found him to be a good dealer/collector trustworthy and reliable no complaints that I can see and good to deal with.
  2. Still fairly new around here but looking real hard at the Milguass, heard around RWG that WatchHoot had a fairly decent rep http://watchwoot.com/magento/index.php/group-buys/milgauss-group-buy-w-eta-movement.html Then recently noticed that Trusty has what appears to be a new one http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_237&products_id=5423&zenid=e5c23ccab576d9dce8d3e1bf43efd6a3 An almost $75 price difference (plus shipping for Trusty) can the anyone around here with more knowledge than I'll ever have tell me if the is a big difference between these and if so worth the extra 75 bucks? Any help would be appreciated.
  3. All day and probably for the weekend
  4. Excellent information - I try to do my homework but your expert opinion certainly makes the buying decision easier. Thanks again.
  5. IThanks for your response - in this thread you seem to like this one: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...amp;hl=bklm1234 - but if you believe the bklm1234 to be better I'll go with you advice. I searched but couldn't seem to find his contact information. Once again thanks for your help.
  6. Looking to buy a Pepsi GMT have purchased in the past from Trusty (Andrew) and Watcheden (Tony/Sarah) Watcheden tells me this watch: http://www.watcheden.com/rolex-gmt-master-...-17927-p-1.html is better quality than Andrews: http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...240db4aea26a94c Watcheden wants more money and if the quality issue is true there isn't much of a price difference, but seeing how I would like the better of the 2 reps I'm now confused. Can someone with more knowledge about Rolex (this is my first) help out please - or recommend another dealer/deal. Much appreciated

  8. Purchased recently in the 'Grand Bazaar' in Istanbul.....
  9. I was just in Naples on a cruise, had heard the same thing so wore a gen - went across to the island of Capri, lot's a stores selling Rep's so I think the rumor is either not true or the rules have changed somewhat.
  10. +1 one on that - I wouldn't even bother to look in TO. Dealers are the best for selection.
  11. I have ordered several from dealers here - don't get in to a panic if you see on the order tracking 'Package Sent To Canada Customs for Review' first time I saw that I got stressed, but it's normal and a couple of days later you'll see 'Package Released from Customs' and your watch will show up. Deliveries can take from 10 to 14 days from the 'drop shippers' That my experience and 2 cents P.S. Watches are addictive - run, run fast while you have a chance...........
  12. Good point on the 'called out' probably wont get the 'that's a fake' on the Glashutte (seeing how the IWC is a quartz) from the Ships Jewelry Store. Last time I wore my my Gen Breitling on a cruise someone asked me "is that a real Breitling' I said "no I have the real one in my pocket, this one's a fake' - I thought my comment was hilarious however it went without comment. Dang watch humor gets them every time........
  13. Going on a cruise in a month need a watch for the Tux - I know both of these are at the lower end of the food chain price wise but who prefers what. http://www.timeshops.net/GL5503_-_Glashutt...g_1918-2922.htm http://www.watcheden.com/iwc-portugieser-w...-19764-p-1.html I have a couple of black face watches that might do the trick but the SS/white appeals to me. I know neither are autos but it's just gotta look good (I mean classy) under the French Cuff shirt. And if someone jumps in and says, "nice watch you got there" that would add to the pleasure. Appreciate you views/comments
  14. I just love this watch and have seen a few pictures here on RWG so the Vacheron Constantin Malte Chrono Lemania is on my list to buy and have been doing some research on different dealers offerings. I have always found a mostly small variant in prices for the watches in my collection but this time I am confused as to why there seems a large price difference on what 'appears' to be the same watch. Rubys, who I have never dealt with, has this one for $199 http://www.nicereplica.com/pro_detail.php?ProId=174 Watcheden, who I have dealt with and thought was a 'budget' seller has this one for $285 http://www.watcheden.com/vacheron-constant...-11420-p-1.html The straps are different, but that will probably be going in the garbage, but the watch it's self seems identical. I realize that neither, at this price point will be accurate gen wise but am I missing the obvious as to why there is such a price difference? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  15. Just received my Ebel Discovery, an amazingly comfortable watch. Seem here on my 7.5 inch wrist.
  16. I have several 'gens' but for that kind of money I would want something 'really' special you could buy several excellent US watches from http://www.ocean7watchco.com/cs1/opening.swf with that much money, I have a couple, great investment, warranty and reputation. Some of the debaufres http://www.debaufre.com/ I have have actually gone up in value, My Limited Edition NavB for $500 has increased in value at least $200 this one is number 93 of a Limited Addition of 200. My 2 cents
  17. When I was in Aruba I recieved 30% off from an AD but spent 2hours negotiating, but that was a Breitling.
  18. Just received 183 on a Rick Crabtree Custom Vintage
  19. I get paid to fly these - but I enjoy it too so I guess it's a hobby....
