So, yes Trusty, you can go to the back of the class too.

Ok, here is the word from The Zigmeister:

If this is indeed the case, I will sit corrected. I wasn't aware of any issues with winding automatics, especially as this is unavoidable on some of them when screwing the crown back in.

But Automatics are safe to wind daily if they're not worn, no?

Is this Swiss? http://www.ttwristwatch.com/index.php?main...products_id=541

Damn, I can't tell their sites apart any more. Joshua! Back of the class!

Eh?

Eddie is another dealer I've never bought from. I hear good things, though. Care to comment on the thread, Eddie? Ouch. That is uncalled for, Trusty. Back of the class for you. ps. I don't feel I am undermining my own argument, as you can have different shades of black. Yes, all lying is equal, but some is more equal than others.

... and his nick here is "Precious Time aka PT". Also, Puretime is referred to as Angus, but no-one (or indeed very few people ) knows PT's name.

IWC GST Chrono, discontinued but some still available Omega Moonwatch (ST19, domed crystal), discontinued but some still available an MBW, for better or worse.

The whole TAG Monaco scene seems quiet, tbh.

Homer does indeed have a good reputation, however I'm unsure about sending a new member off-forum for his first purchase.

Hey, I'm not an admin/moderator. I don't have to be unbiased. He's currently the only dealer stating watches with seagulls in them are ETAs. Not Asian ETAs, he states "ETA 2894" and that's not even secret code for Seagull ST18, it's blatant and outright scamming. He's by far the worst of the lot.

A simple search will yield the answers Narikaa and Precious Time.

My Navitimer is the same and yet, it looks the business. @Jason, No-one will notice. Enjoy your watch.

... and a manual Unitas movement? What's that all about?

They looked factory-wrapped to me.

I wouldn't expect many of the smaller/non-Asian ones to reply as to do so may jeopardise their chinese links, and I am only really hoping for a reply from Josh and Trusty as I don't give a flying fish about Wo-Mart. He's always lied and will continue to do so, and no forum upstart like me is ever going to get him to change.

Those watches aren't single orders, you can tell by the trays. That's a bulk distributor order, probably all canal street [censored]. No great loss in my books.

Silix's official statement:

300m certified, Miyota movement, tritium tubes, steampunk good looks ... lot of watch for the money. Not the best brand name recognition, but who cares? I wanted some radioactive nuke watch and this one came up and was cheaper than the other options and besides, they were quartz.

Today I fancy nuking my wrist until it glows with some real tritium. SUG Nautilus from ShutterBug. click for 1024x768

The subdials are the little dials in the 12, 9 and 3 position. I don't see how they can be off on the TAG Link chrono, however.

I don't consider myself a WIS, and I don't own any watches that a WIS would deem essential as a replica wouldn't suit the purpose: the point of a classic is the mechanics, surely. However, historically, I would count the MoonWatch and a 1680 Sub or 1665 Sea-dweller. More recently, I would count an IWC Titanium chrono, like the Porsche, GST or Aquatimer, purely for the ground-breaking titanium design, and the fact I'm an IWC fan. I'm unconvinced a WIS would go for a modern PAM, as the older ones are where the history is, but I can see them going for the Seiko Spring Drive and an Omega Co-Axial, like the PO, unusually. And yes, maybe a Zenith El Primero, if only they made good-looking ones back in the day, instead the WIS would be more likely to get a Daytona. So, yes, of the mass-produced available watches, it's all rolex, omega and seiko. However, I'd bet if you asked them, they'd be all Blancpain, Breguet, etc. Now, rephounds are different, and we need a Panerai, a Sub, a Meega and a nod to a dress watch somewhere.
