  1. Yes, she does use genuine pics to sell replicas. Are you suggesting Vacuum is a shill?
  2. Not so gen ...
  3. From the IWC site. I love that blue second hand.
  4. Easy, says he having built his own Daytona from parts. It's not as simple as a spring bar replacement, for instance, and there is a small risk of damaging the case. Anything that starts "get a razor blade and ..." carries an inherent risk. If your dealer isn't happy swapping the watch for the one you ordered, may I suggest you find one that is? ps. Credit for not naming the dealer until it's resolved. That's always wise.
  5. I'd politely return it for a replacement.
  6. Me and my big mouth. I should have offered him a pittance for the ETA 7750 first
  7. Why not just swap the cog/spindle from the Asian to the ETA?
  8. I must say, that's a rather unusual way of doing it. Looks like fun though. I can't wait for part two
  9. I believe this is not the case. They're silvery.
  10. Today, I will mostly be wearing green:
  11. Ok, that's a very, very misleading statement. Christmas falls on one day and then, next year, 7 days later, you get new year, so to say "Christmas day and New Year's day fall on the same day of the week" is not at all correct unless you mean in different years. In 1939, New Years day fell on a Sunday, just like Christmas 1938. In 1940, New Years day fell on a Monday, just like Christmas 1939.
  12. Fantastic. I await results. I will also be careful with my 183 when it arrives, thanks to your advice.
  13. Contrary to popular opinion, waterproof doesn't mean as tight as possible. Over-tightening can damage the O-Ring. All you want is an evenly compressed O-Ring. I used the one on the right to open and close my 111h:
  14. Yes. They make a chrono, even.
  15. This is the gen: I want one. Usually, stuff that appears on that site hits our dealers shortly after.
  16. You mean apart from Silicon Carbide, yes, Zirconium Dioxide (not oxide) is the toughest stuff on the planet. And Boron Carbide. Ok, apart from Silicon Carbide and Boron Carbide, Zirconium Dioxide ... um, and Aluminium oxide. Damn, yes, apart from Aluminium oxide, Silicon Carbide and Boron Carbide, what have the Romans done for us? Sorry, couldn't resist.
  17. Um ... ok, Zirconium is a ceramic, but it's not the definition of ceramic. I know you do this stuff for a living, but ceramic just means pottery. ceramic |s??ramik| adjective made of clay and hardened by heat : a ceramic bowl. • of or relating to the manufacture of such articles.
  18. Real Ceramic: Dried, fired mud.
  19. Congratulations, she's a beaut!
  20. http://watchsilix.com/
  21. Right: Chanel J12 - White Ceramic.
  22. That Paris GTG ... I'll let you two do it alone, eh?
  23. Sounds far too much like hard work.
  24. Here's mine. It went out of service in 2003:
