  1. You should know by now...only buy from trusted sellers. Who is watchoot and how can you be sure they will stand behind what they sell and how can you be sure exactly what you are getting? There are quite a few versions of this watch. I sugget that you buy from Trusty the latest version with an asian clone eta movement.

    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. That's the new ceramic GMT. But you're looking for the classic 16710, right?

    This is the correct review to read.

    The GMTIIc Ultimate is a good rep but I never really got excited about it... so I ended up trading it. There simply isn't the same magic and traditions as on the classic Pepsi (imho).

    Excellent information - I try to do my homework but your expert opinion certainly makes the buying decision easier.

    Thanks again.

  4. Both are awful reps.

    There's only one decent rep of the 16710 and it comes from bklm1234, the "Noobfactory / Transformer" version. Why waste money on junk when there's a decent one available? bk is the only guy that people should buy Rolex reps from. He has all the best versions.

    It might be more expensive but it will keep you happier in the long run.

    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.

  5. 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

  7. Ive heard that they have some very strict laws on wearing Reps in Italy. Anyone from Italy that can confirm this?

    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.

  8. 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...........

  9. 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........

  10. 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.

    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

  11. 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.

  12. 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

    Hello,

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a gen Kobold Arctic Diver (pic below from their website). I wanted to hear your thoughts. Should I get one of these guys or should I get a whole bunch of reps. I have hope that this year a bunch of cool ones will be out, like the Fifty Fathoms, a Zenith Chronomaster (45mm) and some cool IWCs. Also, I've wanted a Graham for a while. I could get all of these for the price of that Diver (which has an introductory price of around 2K dollars) and still have some money left over.

    Any thoughts?
