  1. usually 2nd click up is date, down is GMT The GMT hand goes by 24hr time- 1 revolution around the watch per day i Spoke more in the reponse PM
  2. you should understand that George, who, by all accounts is a scammer, or at least an overcharger has several times attempted to create new ID's here in order to push his BS watches. Someone new comes along, only has a couple posts then posts a review - smells like the same old story. Maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but i think a careful review by admin is appropriate, it fits the MO by the way, i hope you didn't pay to much for those reps If you got them from george, i'm sure you overpaid. They look like average to less than average reps also, looks like you just joined 2 weeks ago - not sure how you could have had enough time to make a decision and get a watch - looks fishy to me. if you are a real newby i recomend you spend more time reading and learning here, then you won't waste your money. There are a ton of dealers here and on other boards that are lined up to sell you better quality reps at reasonable prices. If you are george - i told you last time you tried this that you have to become more clever, sadly enough, it would appear that you had not learned and in addition to being a low life in trying to rip off folks seeking a decent replica watch, but your not very bright or creative either.
  3. To be honest, the factory could be cool, but i'm always interested in business models. I travel and meet people and ask them (Without being rude) about how their business operates. I am really curious about what percentage of their business is related to forum? how much online or are they doing wholesaling. I mean i have to imagine there is not a huge mass market for the high end reps. Your not sending huge amts out to canal street. Having said that it always seems there is a never ending flow of folks who want to come to the board to offer the same watches that our current dealers already carry. I don't care about how much money they are making, i'm more fascinated with the process. and the distribution - what percentage gets seized, to what level have they had trouble with "the law" seems to me that josh and andrew have decided to alot more out there and public - i.e. the website. Paul gets his taken down at least once a year. silix, king have all had to change theirs, I mean, all of this is super interesting to me. I have a concern as mentioned in one of the other threads about these new super reps being sold as gens by less ethical dealers or even less ethical purchasers - who then become re-sellers. i guess the volume isn't enough to turn heads, but whenever the wave does come, the "evidence/ examples" will be pretty convincing ah - get em while you can, cause who knows - thats what i tell my wife anyway
  4. fyi, just wanted to clarify that the posts i made earlier so they weren't taken the wrong way 1 - asked a legit question about exclusives - this is sort of a new thing on the board recently and 2 - I was just kidding with Josh about not sending enough clients i figured andrew was kidding about the hdouble secret probation BB for VIPs anyway - its christmas - and, although i'm jewish, lets just all be merry !! I wore a big red shirt today i'm playing along also - Josh/ Andrew RCCL is going to start with a cruise to the far east Probably be a year or 2 before i make it out there, but care to meet up, i'll buy dinner I assume someone could find you at at least one of these ports Sihanoukville, cambodia Hong Kong China Singapore, Singapore Taiwan, Taipei Bangkok Thailand and a few places in Vietnam - We could setup a specialty watch cruise - and invite josh, andrew and neil on as guest lecturers - and of course anyone else who lives over there - i just know about some of the aformentioned listed persons live in the aformentioned locations
  5. and andrew you and josh are still competitors? i thought you guys formed Perfectly Trustily Cloned Watch Inc
  6. and josh if there really is a VIP only access to photos how is it that i haven't made that list. i don't send you enough refferals
  7. So, is it just you guys who can get exclusives? Cause you have brought forth several over the last few months. I assume if you can do it, so can others.
  8. you forgot pimps, mafia (although my mafia friends wear AP and Rolex- well at least they used to, now they wear soap on a rope), i don't know why i'm even replying this thread is going to get deleted
  9. I have a seriuos problem with anyone who is anti semetic and a bigger problem with anyone who feels it appropriate to spread that [censored] in this forum. Consider yourself warned - about me kicking your ass nevermind- your now ignored
  10. fyi, the movement in this watch is made from a eta 2893a2 kit, then modified. looks to me like a 7750 could do this? am i whack?
  11. i totally missed Ulysse Nardin watches cause i didn't think they had a sub 5k selection i was wrong. Check out these pieces - price $4150 Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronograph totally repable, totally seriously bad ass different dial variations - lots of it not in gold http://www.essentialwatches.com/listing_mu...on_name1_browse
  12. you tube is filled with all kinds of freaks - my main instrument is drums and this kid is 12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4TEgasatu0 fuggetaboutit and then you got these 11-15 yr olds who play rush, kings x, dream theater fat bottem girls yyz carry on my wayward son
  13. sad day for all music lovers he is now in that great hot tub in the sky - hot tub, gonna make you hot, Uh, gonna make you sweat.
  14. jeesh - feel better man, i hope there is someone around to bring you some nice hot chicken soup.
  15. i applaud the project, i think richard you did a great job - i hope that it is a smashing success if this were 3 months ago - this would have been a no brainer - the chronomat. That, in my opinion was the most popular 5k watch not being repped. however, none of the watches in the finals strike my interest, the porche is the most interesting, but i just have to many on my wish list that out rank this watch. for pugs - i did suggest some of my own, i think that chopard with the offset seconds was rockin anyway, i look forward to the next round, the 10k opens up some new catagories, maybe, i can get excited about. so, i just hope that all the folks that fought for these models line up to buy them because, i want this kind of project to continue
  16. this is for pro football and basketball players only
  17. just curious where did you hear about the great opinions about the forum
  18. jlc master compresser 4300 http://www.essentialwatches.com/listing_de...amp;itemID=1836 master calander 5300 http://www.essentialwatches.com/listing_mu...on_name2_browse crapload of reverso's for less than 5k http://www.essentialwatches.com/listing_mu...on_name1_browse master reserve de marche 3950 http://www.essentialwatches.com/listing_de...amp;itemID=3205
  19. yeah yeah, i know, i'm thinking more long term if you want to pass it down - sub 5000, then i'd go IWC you won't get anything fancy, but its more of a passer downer then a datejust or sub
  20. I don't like this way of thinking - in that case get a boring rolex - go submariner - its a graduation present, i don't know what for - i assume college. I think this shows more thought - not only do you open it and go wow - (the box will say more than $500) but then you get to spend time talking about it and how special it is. Then the friends go - wow, thats interesting - and he gets to talk about it -yeah, my ___ got this for me, its a really cool watch, its the first automatic chronograph. or they could go - Ohh, is that real? wow did ou get that on canal street. Rolexs are cool and all, but, i would much rather give a present that has thought and a story behind it. makes it more special.
  21. fantastic - welcome and congrats and nice post
  22. Without a doubt the best watch under 5k you can get i personally like the guilliuche dial there are 2 sizes this watch has sport, class, eligance, style - amazing movement, collectors watch, everyday watch all wrapped up into 1
  23. did you try contacting silix about it? I would usually contact the dealer if something like that happened after only 3 or 4 wears
