Ost - my comrad in political arms i've gone more gen - there are a few though that are seriously awesome - my steelfish, my new 2tone BCE with gen crosswind dial and k2222 or chief AR will be awesome the AR really ads alot of BANG if you haven't had it done can turn an average watch into a stunner. my corum admirals cup competition and my 177h but, i wear my tissot, my custom pvd skeleton and my tourby alot i've stepped up and spent my $$ on some hktan straps - INCLUDING a black hornback 5mm thick for my skeleton pvd also a gen gator for my tourby got a gen rubber strap for the steelfish i guess- i've gone quality over quantity there are other models i'd take if i had extra cash, BUT - i gotta say that my "collection" has become very special - and, its alot to do with the price the dollar doesn't help either

yeah, pug's has created more screen backgrounds than i have posts

BAMB - there it is- Looked forward to this for a long time - i got up to almost 900 on the old RWG before "the Exodous" of 2006 and finally - 2k i know that Ken has 4 bajillion, but i'm working on my own pace

Wait for it - Wait for it wait for it

this watch does nothing for me

good luck - always had trouble getting folks to show up

sweet - thanks

nice that was the first rep i ever got - and mine was a POS the daywheel was WAY off - yours looks great wear it in good health

your smart

i used to say E T A but was corrected by a buddy of mine who collects Gens that its EhTah The other one that gets confused alot is Patek Phillip as an pa-tek or pa-TEK

center tourbys are closer to 800-1000 Flying ones are just as fun for 500

a7750s are reliable They stole the design from my 666 - I WANT ROYALTIES

Damn drunk asian watchmakers

i've never had a rep movement die - i wish they would do the green dial - there aren't alot of green dial watches

but for 75-100 bucks (just a few more) you can find gen rubbers on ebay i have a gen rubber for my steelfish - TOTALLY worth the cash

I thought that they were talking about gerbils i come and go a few months on a few months off - totally driven by budget and I"M SO CLOSE to 2k posts

there has been some shows on about folks who get talked into smuggling drugs they have gotten caught because at their transfer their luggage went through customs - even though they never touched, it - it was just transferred But again - put them in a watch case - if they are super reps, they won't know teh difference. Don't buy any boxes or papers - and if they ask you about them, just say you always owned them - if you just bought them, you would have original boxes

Interesting - thtas not a site that we would recomend here, Having said that, the photos are reps, didn't see any Gen photos which is a real tell the prices were very good on the higher end panerai - i'm sure they are all asian movements, But, for other stuff like the Corum he is way over priced. One thing that happens, even with folks here occassionally, they disappear for a period of time - from here, if they screw up, they get banned until they fix all the problems with the members then they MAY be let back in to sell. you may still get your watch

-alow me to continue in the parade of the senior whozs who of rwg in praising your excellent and thorough review. great jorb! having triedon the gen. neat concept but you lose all the u.iquness when its on you wriste

FYI - the roman numeral new model is the chrono cockpit ,and its 39mm although it looks just like a BCE in photos The older "crosswind" is the predicessor , along with the chronomat to the BCE - the crosswind had a smaller case and different pushers

that is a real product - genius i think, but they are supposed to be disposable, made of like a paper material - then women don't have to sit down in public restrooms to pee

The handmade ones are nicer - for the most part, BECAUSE they are made of better materials, ect ect also its custom sized, and frankly the last 2 i ordered you can't find in the size and thickness in the "mass produced" market The handmade ones are nicer - for the most part, BECAUSE they are made of better materials, ect ect also its custom sized, and frankly the last 2 i ordered you can't find in the size and thickness in the "mass produced" market

what are they going to fix? - i guess just the new models?

I'm a very senior member - over 3000 posts on rep boards been around since early 2005 - i still get the same crap everyone else does major problem is the business culture of china - they operate different than the western world - Very high level of defective items and the usual and customary solution is to offer a discount on the NEXT item this is normal in china in all industries not just the rep industry - it is very different than US and European purchasers are used to. on top of it we are a good number of sales for these folks, but by no means can we control the market to make demands. THe factories are to blame - and if our dealers complain to much to the factories - then, the factories stop selling to them so, there is always unnacceptable like my recent BCE situation but, QC is always going to be an issue. all we can try to do is keep the dealers here honest as to their practices and hold them to the assurances that they advertise - i.e. it has the type of movement advertised in reality - we could get direct contact to some of the manufacturers oursleves - but we would have NO barginaning power. - the dealers are the go between and give some level of comfort and ability to make things right and thats how they earn their $$

yeah, your stuck, like the rest of us - no cure - your totally screwed
