  1. talk about crappin your pants
  2. there were really alot- especially since every time i go there, no one but teh salesguy security and me
  3. let me say that in my experience - doing custom projects unless you are 100% sure they work, like a watchmaker says they do or someone else has already tried it is VERY difficult - they become very expensive very quickly unless you can swap out movements, which means changing hands ect ect. Even stuff that is supposed to fit doesn't always - your almost guaranteed to be disappointed and spent a large amount of $$ getting there. You could probably find a used one on timezone for 2grandish save you alot of headaches, if thats what your real goal is - ultimate reality is you will end up spending more than that on reps over time anyway, so if you want that watch, just go get it if not - i can HIGHLY recommend the steelfish - fantastic watch, and you can find gen rubber strap on ebay - its pretty sweet, will cost you much less and bring instant satisfaction. if its the dial style you like, get a crosswind dial and put it in the Evo, there are some crosswind styles similiar to yours. in fact i'm about to have a 2 tone evo, blue number dial, with leather strap (and a not great condition bracelet) up for a good price
  4. ok, i just threw up in my mouth the SWISS collection http://www.swissexpert.net/Omega_replica.html 900!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for a standard pam!!!! 750!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for a Planet Ocean - DON"T WORRY - second watch is 30% off -
  5. i like hamilton i'm partial to longines which is the same company - which is why they have lots of similiar models I have more gens and no name brands (like the tourbillion) then reps and the reps i have - have gen dials, handmade straps, gen straps, - and well, there is always my newbmariner I'm moving tword Ubi's good ole quality over quantity motto - even though i still have some quantity
  6. check out the PAMS - 200 bucks for those massive super thick crowns http://www.amatorywatches.com/Panerai_replica.html http://www.amatorywatches.com/image.php?im...hHRZRNN&w=4 http://www.amatorywatches.com/image.php?im...hHRZRNN&w=4 i found my entertainment for the eve can't wait for the zenith defy, hope they don't screw it up there are so many variations they should be able to make a few of them
  7. OMFG, i just clicked on the link THESE are 60-70 dollar watches - that site has them for 200!!!! typical crap i came across before RWG. the ebel is gen
  8. square one may be gen, looks like an el primero in the cut away
  9. your kidding right ken those are HORRIBLE - the only one that looks close is the square one notice on the gen how the bridge doesn't take up the cutout - (what would be the purpose to cut away to see a plain bridge silix or any of the folks that sell the low end stuff can get any of these if you ask, and i think there is even a dealer that has a website with lowend stuff besides silix. also, ioffer has had that stuff for years the "best" zenith i have ever seen - king used to list, on her old site http://www.ioffer.com/i/Zenith-Chronomaste...-Phase-45672931 the big difference between teh various models of this rep and teh gen is the Gen has both a date and the month and year windows, the reps have either month / year or date but not all 3 windows
  10. so i just stopped for some drooling at a local jewlers Called Levinsons Jewlers and it could have easily been a perfect clones walk in store they had IWC ingen, portugese . . . Ebel . . . 20 Pams, 6 Ferraris, graham swordfish, chronofighter . . . they also had an amazing selection of the new concord - in like 5 dial styles, and 2 dozen zeniths including a few defys of course they also had some FM, RD and others how fun - the store isn't even that big, but MAN the selection is AMAZING!
  11. ever seen a watch movement? the chinese can rep anything its just if they WANT to do it
  12. ahhhh, MBW, that explains it, thats why i hadn't seen it. back then MBW was only for insiders - I would have been SOOOO all over that - at 450 i have not, but my fav model is the crosswind which has the same dial as the BCE my father has a gen chronomat, it would be much easier for you to do the crosswind/ bce thing, although the bce case is a bit beefier than the crosswind, the dial fits quite nicely in fact, i had my gen dial in my rep BCE and held it up to someone wearing a Gen with the same dial and he didn't notice the difference - it wasn't a hard examination just a quick shot to show someone we had "the same" watch on
  13. i don't see what the hype is all about
  14. your probably going to have to talk to the dealers who will do some custom searching for you at the watch markets. I would ask silix, ttk and one of the newer ones like ruby. I have never seen the chronomat offered for sale in my 3 yrs - otherwise i would have bought one!
  15. it will be about 6 weeks till you can get some sleep enjoy it goes quick
  16. i was thinking the same thing! - fyi, having flown private, its the only way to go - if a genie in a bottle asked me for 1 wish - i'd ask for a G5, with a pilot and unlimited fuel ! now that we have a Forum pilot - i say we start planning a real GTG - jetzeus, your boss actually keep track of the gas bill? FYI - Phoband = International man of mystery
  17. where the hell did he find this rep!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
  18. very - hopefully will unveil soon
  19. i have the panatime - best bang for the buck by far! however, it makes me appreciate my hktan straps
  20. your not seriously asking if he can guarontee that a fake watch is legal cmon - this is china, they shoot prisoners and sell the bodies to embalmers to make money by putting them on display all chopped up - A very interesting exhibit actually - cmon they would make them out of bald eagle if they could make an extra 3 bucks haven't you watched the fake trade movie ? were all supporting slavery, beatings, gun runners
  21. i'm here since may 2005 and i'm still learning stuff all the time the most important thing i have learned is patience, take it - 1 rep at a time as they say. welcome good luck and enjoy
  22. holy jesus, look at those guns - i'm callin you next time i'm in a bar fight
  23. i got my gen dial from a local watchmaker - but i paid top dollar on ebay make sure to go to preferences and chose worldwide as to availability also google ebay germany and search on there, even when you put in worldwide it doesn't always do what you ask, germany seems to have alot of dials available
  24. i have grown to like that model - this looks a little cooler to me But my Favorite is this one its SS - the 45 min counter and seconds at 3 is the killer here - this is the one that got vetoed lastyear by pugs - they appear to have changed the movement for the new one
