  1. How do you deal with it? A .25mm shim under the dial?
  2. Davidsen 111h with any custom strap. Don't go with a replica strap as it's a dead giveaway. If you want to talk straps, you need to talk to V, our resident strapmeister, but anything from a good dealer will do, but look in the $50-$150 range. With a good enough strap, the rest of the watch will be assumed to be real, especially around a card table.
  3. It sounds typically Parisian.
  4. Putting my obvious agenda aside, as soon as I work out what it is, I still believe something positive can come of it.
  5. I have no agenda. Honestly, did you think their answer was satisfactory?
  6. I think nobody has read this part. The RT Forum is here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/RT-Watch-Polls-f129.html (coo, new PHP caching system. Nice for SEO, Admin ...)
  7. They both work fine. Next?
  8. Funny. I stopped working in Rue des Archives just before I got into reps. Damn, I say. Any shops you'd recommend? Any watchmaker supply shops you know about?
  9. mmm ... feedback. There you go. I don't like white backgrounds either, but nobody had ever complained. I'll leave the white for non-wallpaper photos.
  10. Normally, I'd be willing to meet you halfway on this one apart from the simple fact everyone seems to be forgetting: This watch was a Trusty/Josh exclusive. They bought the genuine B&R and commissioned this replica. They were in control of the project from the beginning to the end and they know exactly what went in it. This isn't their first [censored]-up, it's the first example of how they would do business if they could manage every part of the chain, and it scares me.
  11. We could apart from the fact it was deliberately not handled properly and the excuse given seems like an apology for being caught. Own your [censored]ups, it's basic good business behaviour.
  12. Sorry about the continual flurry of wallpapers, but I appear to have something in my system I need to work out. Maybe it's a penance for being belligerent about dealers and the like or maybe it's battling with the size of the Fiddy. Whatever it is, I hope you're enjoying my photos.

  13. Here's my rule: Whatever strap comes with a replica watch gets replaced. It really is that simple. Me too, which is why I bought it.
  14. Trademarked, but now we're arguing semantics, as in "the meaning of a word, phrase, sentence, or text".
  15. River has the silver dial of this at $139. From what I can tell, it's pretty much the same as the Flieger I reviewed apart from the dial. Oh, and yes, the 7750 is the exact same layout and the seconds-at-9 is the right configuration.
  16. Where is this district?
  17. What about just sanding down the CGs on an MBW 1680 Sub?
  18. http://watchwindersworld.com/fmco10004-con...8922-p-401.html $308 for Swiss ETA 2892. It's not outside the realms of possibility.
  19. Besides, there's a whole other thread for that.
  20. Maestro Straps aged Calf in Tan Toscana Siena True Vintage Don't forget to get 26mm versions...
  21. Yet it's the Admin's top discussion? I don't know if I'm over-exaggerating or not, and only history can answer that one. I don't have all the answers of course, but I believe in the question.
  22. Nice story. You'll have to come to the next Paris get together with more tales.
  23. Sure they can. Nowhere on their site do they say what you see is not what you get. Nowhere do they say they're merely agents. You buy watches off them and it's their job to give you what you paid them for.
  24. Not really. I don't have a winder and I doubt I'll get one. My watches run down all the time.
  25. Yeah, your Economy does suck at the moment. The weak dollar must really be hurting. Never mind, eh?
