  1. Excellent Points Dani - Just because your sporting a rep doesn't mean you don't have the real thing - you might get a rep version of your gen to travel with but the root of the question is - your sporting a luxury you can't afford - and i would argue that a for a huge % of our rwg population - thats not true at all my boss used to sport a pam rep - but had a more expensive rolex. although maybe the literal point in the paragraph maybe in fact an accurate statement - the meaning of the sentence is not true for us. Further- i believe that 90% of luxury watches aren't worth the metal they are engraved in - your buying a name. - reality is my homer tourby is a way more impressive watch than a rolex anything - If you stick around here long enough - its not about sporting an image that you can't afford - its about enjoying a marvel of micro engineering - (just not worth a bagillion dollars) 99.999 % of people have no idea that there is a difference between my tourby, my AP, and invicta - the most comments i have ever gotten about a rep - was my first Breit Chronomat rep that i got way before finding RWG - i wouldn't be caught dead wearing it now ! i sent it to for life everafter in the downunder
  2. me? to get the best fakes? i just go to my bedroom
  3. hey man you just signed up. and you want all the answers dished out. i usually recomend a good 2 weeks of reading alot per day before buying your first rep. sit back, pull up a chair and read awhile
  4. your lucky to have the one you have - APRO rubber straps are not easy to find
  5. you have 2 choices. either go to a site like angus and buy your watch and enjoy or get answers to all those questions. to do the later i recomend continuing to research. all the answers are here on the forum. the only "mod" i would recomend on a br is ar. there are 2 members who do ar coating for very reasonable price. forget about the lume. just take whatever it comes with. yes automatic watches wind from movement either by your wrist or watch winder. ok thats your 10 cents of free advice. now hit the books. and be ready to empty your wallet
  6. i freakin hate usf have for a long long time. we havent been able to crack that nut
  7. 1. A replica watch shows off what you really don't have: - Not True 2. Almost anyone can tell a replica watch from an authentic one: - not if you shop at RWG! 3. A replica watch will actually impress no one: - probably true - but thats not why i buy them 4. A replica watch will never grow up in value: - Tell that to the closed factory omegas 5. Poor durability: - depends on the factory 6. Lack of precision: - maybe yes, maybe no - gens have issues to 7. Lack of additional functions and complications: - whatever 8. Lack of innovative features: - whatever - again 9. Replica watch buyers involuntarily support illegal activity of fake watch producers: - beyond, illegally making watches - were probably no worse than any other industry that buys crap in china - they all use slaves, use dead prisoners for display bla bla bla - 10. Inner feeling of dissatisfaction: - only when i get some BS from a dealer - or a watch with a major defect - and then i only feel dissatisfied in choosing the loser in the first place only things that are true go against the point - on the same side - "super" reps probably do cause alot of problems with people thinkng they are buying gen - cause they are getting just that good - and in that sense - they probably do support crime around the world. Why wouldn't a con artist buy 3 or 4 big bangs or APs and make an easy payday. market them as stolen and sell them on the streets of mexico to rich tourists or whatever - Hey wait - is that why Two Tone was in mexico for so long?
  8. The U is going to be whomped by UCF this year and i'm going to be there to watch FIRST NFL game was last night - its like heroin in the veins FYI, miami should have taken colt brennon - he throws the ball pretty
  9. do you like it? i was thinking of getting the black on black on black one
  10. they are very much around - i have a blue dial i can sell you if you need one.
  11. i recall seeing one for sale - used at that price, last year. not sure why you would buy it though, the steelfish rep is as good as gen in my opinion.
  12. also - another tip - if all the prices on the website are teh same - i.e. 218 for all models - its total crap. you can rest assured that dealing with the folks referenced on this site, what you see in the photo is what you will get - and if it isn't - there are ways to fix things around here.
  13. not bad - simple, clean - nice watch
  14. interesting that their prices are closer to silix than the cartel - starts to make you really [censored] off about what the cartel does to us- i wish someone created a ready made business for me, for basically free, and not care if i jacked up pricing
  15. ken after all this time. i never knew you were funny i mean i do lik the fruit fly joke but anyway you know when you read a thread topic that should be really dead and it keeps popping up as new. definatly some fun going on. glad i clicked in
  16. This collection is a poster for top reps clearly someone who has done alot of forum reading before opening up on a tear of rep purchasing
  17. and before you ask, yes you have to buy like 40 of a model to get one
  18. here is what i know about doing mods that may seem like a good idea, but no one has tried. It will cost you lots of money and probably not work get the homer tourby, learn to love it. Or go on ebay and find another millionsmart (maker of homer tourby) watch branded with some random name - and most likely pay more than the homer tourby. http://www.millionsmart.com/e/default_home.asp check em out personally, i think the homer tourby is perfect
  19. hardly a POS movement may have some issues - but definitely not POS
  20. yeah i procured all the parts seperatly and had the watch put together. no doubt 1 of a kind. re size its 42mm with a i believe 24/24 strap. have to double check strap width.
  21. thinking about selling this watch - it will not be cheap, it will fairly reflect the $$ put into it. - including the HKtan Hornback i'm thinking about using the $$ for something else. Key factors - swiss pvd case from T/Tourby swiss Super Lume hands swiss? mov't from company called android (they say swiss anyway) pvd deployant HKtan handmake Hornback Gator strap saphire double sided AR - Chieftang - or whatever his new name is - AR strap, SUper thick 5mm and new unworn fyi, you won't find anything like this out there, google pvd skeleton and you get my RWG threads that come up thoughts?
  22. Making friends is an important part of life. i have gotten to know literally dozens of forum members on a personal level - i have met 7 in person, including enjoying some amazing hospitality - (thanks omni and callas) What i will say - if your lucky enough to get to know folks as i have - celebrated some good times (kids born, holy grail achieved) and tuff times - hospital stays you will never find a greater mix of folks from all countries and forms of life - you would be amazed how many Drs Lawyers,, engineers, accountants, CEOs leaders of industry are among us. - oh and an inordinate amount of folks with Radio programs So - Good luck on your projects and be sure to sample the nachos
