  1. rumor is zenith defy is in the works for this summer - extreme - well we don't know which one yet
  2. you aren't going to like the new zeniths either
  3. if the gold looks "gold" enough - so it doesn't look fake- i think some folks would be interested - I know black will be popular. I just went through my pvd phase does the material have to be stripped? like, what if it had gold plating or rep factory pvd on it, does that pose a problem? also, great thread title - seeing more interest yet? Oh, i could get my son's baby shoes PVD' that would be awesome and - seriously, if i could get the midlinks done right on my 2 tone bracelet for my BCE - i'd pay 100 bucks, just for a few links. The real bracelet is like 1000. i could consider doing my tourbillon case in gold. i could consider a all black planet ocean, i could consider a gold rolex gmt - i'd pay 200 for the case and bracelet to be done right in gold. - i have a pvd'd well, most likley painted movement that i would love to get real pvd'd its a skeleton movement, so i'm talking about the bridge and a gear or 2. i would pay 200$, to get that movement looking super sweet.
  4. one of my all time fav's
  5. saw it earlier - looks ok juicier in the magazine
  6. it looks like this is something readily available in china, but they don't ship out? anyone want to pick one up for me and toss it in the mail?
  7. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=ht...zh-CN&tl=en i want to order this new media player - 8gb 4.3 inch screen - it seems cheaper if i get it from the manufacturer, instead of a reseller - not that there are to many, but, google translate wont take me through the checkout is there someone who could help? i can work out the payment directly or indirectly via paypal or something. the player is around 100 bucks US so its not even that big a deal. Thanks! Pho
  8. i think the pvd service will be valuable - We need to figure out the bracelet thing though - that opens up alot of doors. like for instance, i wouldn't mind getting me a gold Rolly GMT pvd gold, but the bracelet gets me. Also, edit your thread title to reasonably priced PVD service Right now it looks like something you dug up ont he internet about ipods - That will change alot of folks understanding and get more clicks.
  9. the corums on that website are all gen - and in fact some are discontinued models, my wife has one of the small bubbles -they are fantastic i should mention over priced but gen:) i have a gen watch shop, it looks like trusty's site- lots of super reps these days:)
  10. I figured that was the issue - just to be clear, is the cost prohibition on being multiple little parts- OR because it has to be taken apart - and has anyone taken like a rolex or BCE bracelet apart - of course i mean the links with no screws. it must be some sort of "snap in" situation i remember someone rendered a kick but Planet Ocean in black pvd-would be sweeet
  11. DUDE I"M TOTALLY GOING TO GO GET A DELOREAN this is quite beyond amazing - since i'm sort of an idiot in coating technology - when you say case, you are including crowns bezels pushers ?
  12. he has a dealer section on the board - these tourbys are a must for a good collection -suprised you hadn't gotten one yet
  13. not many scratches for me, but i don't wear mine around the house, only out, when i get back they go on the display. most scratches come from when your not paying attention in a too familier area just like most car accidents happen within a couple miles from home. autopilot= damage
  14. haavnt gone back and read your posts but its ggood that you realizethere is much to learn. that is the right attitude newb and old alike. we are all learning. but lik corgi said even he posts nutty things from time to often (jk:) rwg a minute to sign up a lifetime to master this group is way more open now tha.n ever before. there arent to many real secrets left. if you read enough you will find them all. many of us have opinions based on years of experience in this field and with the ctual dealers and forum members. some just have opinions abouthow the world should operate. it all gets hammered out and we really have been able to take care of ourselves for the most part. we do thousands of transactions on a small scale with china every month witha very high suces rate. i would bet its bhigher thn almost any other industrbuying chinese products
  15. deleted to hide the record of an illegal transaction
  16. yeah if it were just the lume on 6 probably deal with it, the strap - he could probably send a new one - but the datewheel is a deal breaker and the fact you ahve all three i think is new watch without question good luck
  17. i have a 2 tone bce blue and gold - i have been looking at these knarly strap culture straps what about getting a 'honey or gold' color strap made with maybe blue paint on the sides (instead of black) and put on the bce?\ thoughts?
  18. "waterproofing" is a scam dont believe it. thats what we are trying to tell you. many watches survive water. some dont. you wont know till you try. again dont wear it when you think your going swimming. wear the sector. regarding the jewler most are reluctant to call you out because 1 they are trying to make sales and 2 they are idiots who dont know jack about watches. we ask that you dont try the jewler test because that will bring more attention to us. try searing under ad or authorized dealer and se this lmessage being sent over and over and over. moral is enjoy the watch but dont expect it to stand up to the wear and tear of a gen. maybe yours wont leak. is it worth the 50 bucks to buy a new one to tey it out?
  19. here is the easy answer - a Rep is a rep, if you want to swim, get a cheap gen like a nice citizen. if your concerned about $$ enough to buy a quartz PO (any watchmaker worth thier salt would know that omega doesn't make quartz PO) instead of getting one for $125 bucks from silix, i wouldn't even THINK of trying to pay someone to "water proof" it, they will take your money, tighten your case and walk away. and most likley charge you close to or more than whatever you paid for that rep.

  20. although i have had the chance to interact with both barack and michelle obama on a personal level i found todays rally in south florida something special. I took a photo of the rallywith my phone camera so its not a great photo, but it relays the impressiveness of the turnout. when you can send out 2 emails and get 19,000 people to show up in the middle of the afternoon on a friday wait in teh sun for up to 3 hours and another 2 inside just to hear you speak, thats special for those of you not accustomed to the political arena - when kerry came to town the big rally had around 4-5k people, and we had to go find them to show up. and that was when he was actually the nominee. in broward county florida - the most important democratic county in our state and a population of 1.7 million people, in which a VAST majority are hillary supporters, to fill an arena like we did today is simply unprecedented - but so are the crowds that he has gotten for almost a year. the largest being 70,000 in oregon last week i mean you dont get those types of crowds unless your madona or paul simon or a random country music star - its just not heard of for political rallys and when he walked on stage, the camera flashes going on all around you, it was like the superbowl on kickoff - it was just insane and one of my best friends got to introduce him, which was really special for me.
  21. I happen to have had the opportunity to get to know zig on a personal level - although he doesn't do his work for free - and he is very professional this is hardly a business for him - he is a working man just like most of us and has a very distinguished career in his field. He works on watches because the trade was in his family and he enjoys it. i think he enjoys the challenge. His decisions on taking or not taking work are not related to business reasons - he doesn't need the $$ whereas i do believe that folks like RBJ tried to make a full time career out of doing this stuff we are lucky to have him here to explain the inner workings of movements he has been a long and well respected member of the community and we can only hope that he will continue on whatever basis to give us the benefit of his knowledge and experience
