  1. No offense to anyone, but, if its me, i'm not putting any $$ down till i see a dial - or actually multiple dials. our thread poster maybe a person of good intent, - however, he has only been around for a few months, and there is no indication that he has experience dealing with rep dealers/ manufacturers. china or tawain or my butthole are dangerous places to navigate. I have had others contact me about putting together great dials ect ect. the dealer said yes yes yes yes - i told this person to demand photos of everything we were talking about from the dealer before any $$ changes hands - and, of course, we never heard from them again. It takes alot to become someone who is allowed to sell, or deal on t his board, and its not just because we want to create a monopoly, this is a criminal enterprise, and the uninitiated generally pay with their pocketbook. so- sayeth the old wise man
  2. cool, lets see how they go, i'll be back next sunday.
  3. hey, sorry everyone, my wife informs me that were not selling it for that price, i was mistaken. it was her phone. - She says they are going for stupid ridiculous prices on ebay. not sure what to do here, i'd like to help you guys out, at the same time, i'm kind of out of work at the moment and can't afford to not sell it for what its worth its jailbroken and unlocked as well, 8gb, a few small scratches by the headphone jack. If someone wants to figure out the going rate on ebay, including the scratches, i'll sell it for that - and give 10% to RWG. software 2.2 comes with all original accessories, except the headphones. I'm leaving today, be back in a week on sunday, i can do photos then, if anyone wants it, PM me, cause i won't see this thread. also, links tot he ebay auctions would be helpful.
  4. I'm sellign a first generation Iphone perfect screen, small scratch on the top back of the case - $150 US + 15$ shipped to EU if you want it PM me, i'm going to be out of the country till 12/15 - can ship it then i have 2 iphone 3gs - that my wife and i USE only difference is the 3g speed (you can use wi fi) and the GPS chip - and, frankly, my iphone 3g uses AGPS alot - the GPS chip isn't as reliable as the Windows mobile phones. anyway if you want the first gen iphone, pm me
  5. dammit now 2 people have gen nardins ahhh, torture. I need to get a better job
  6. most impressive this could make lankai go broke!
  7. HOLY SHITBALLS ok, 2 things, if your married -i would hate to see your wife's shoe collection and where did that Ulysse Nardin rep or gen come from - too hard to see it clearly
  8. i tried on the freak once, but just recently i got to try on the maxi's and maxi chrono (which is the one i want) and i totally agree. they are really amazing. if i could buy whatever i wanted, i think i'd be into UN - first, then corum and zenith. All 3 have "out there" designs, they are willing to go to the edge.
  9. i finally got off my ass and put together a franken of my Grail - the one that started it all for me - looking for reps that is. This is also my most expensive rep - and i can honestly say i get the most enjoyment out of wearing it. a close 2nd is my seconds at 12 rubberclad pictured with some other fine pieces -is my crosswind franken (with improper pushers) between the dial, strap and AR this thing took almost 8 months start to finish
  10. welcome to the 1k club - I have a sad story to share, in RWG 1, i had 800 posts, was well on my way to 1k, when, someone stole the rug out from under me and we all moved over here by the way, no matter what ever happens from here on out, i will envy you because of your UN. I don't want to devalue your purchase, but i pray to the replica gods nightly to make me one !!!
  11. yup - go you got it - you never know, every once and a while they come out with some out of left field super rep brand. - Maybe this one day
  12. anyone have wrist shots of the SS version of this? i'm very tempted.
  13. i have seen the cheap reps have problems with the crowns - cause you use them alot. I have seen other reps last for a long time. The problem with the breitlings isnt the gold on the watch case, its the bracelet - the midlinks are done like [censored]. even from the supposed "best" makers you can wear it and get away with it, but don't take it off to show anyone. In my opinion on the band, its not even plated, its just painted on - because, you can't get brush strokes wtih plating like there are on the end links. and there is no plating on the sides of the links where it hits the sides of the SS part of the bracelet. its definatly passable, but, like i said, i recommend leather.
  14. the bracelets are awful - i have had 2 of them. I have the older gen crosswind dial - which i still like better compared to the newer model (that i saw in person) i would recommend that a sweet thick strap from HKtan in matching color - i have a blue one with gold stitching. there is an awesome blue marbling in the strap - doesn't get any better than that now if we could only get him to work a little faster
  15. there are nice leather straps out there - but, if you want a real bad ass one- go to Aaron tan hktan - it will be worth it, i promise. get a black, shiney, super thick dress strap. its BETTER than the zenith strap - and i just tried one on the other day. if you search and check out my tourbillon strap - the thickniss rocks
  16. HA! - stones, my fraternity nickname
  17. i got this mini lv sub from Narikaa - i had to be creative with the bracelet resizing - which involves removing links that were supposed to be removed and some tape (holding a pin in) but he loves it and it looks PERFECT Doesn't get better than this ! Check out these wrist shots (i see lots of requests for Mini Subs in Narikaa's Future
  18. this is EXACTLY what i was thinking!!!!!! PM coming
  19. here is my observation 1. rep leather straps generally suck 2. leather straps have poor resale value therefore, always buy watches with a stainless steel band, buy your leather band the way you lilke. Then, when you resell the watch, it will be like new !
  20. unless your coming from China - no big deal, i go through customs all the time with reps in my bag and on wrist
