DAMN IT Dutchy!! You and your Avatar lol ... Why the hell couldnt you at least post her phone number?? George

Sorry to hear/see that that thing really gives me the creeps (picture) take care rob and get well soon hope this will leave no damage to your eye! George

Do you know more/numbers concerning this issue?? Ive been told the same too... just wonder how high (%) this counts. George

hmm... maybe your right keeping quite is better. I just cant imagine you beeing the only one having received such "advertising" just curious: Are you based in EU? George

Frightening!! Question: Did you already try to get in contact with the sender?? for ex. email? Just curious on what theyll reply on your question WHERE they got your address from?? If this is sourced or hacked(!) from 3rd party THIS is indeed serious matter!!! Dont want to think any further... Everythings possible then and most terrific and horrible nightmares can come true: 1. blackmailing 2. mail from the high court of swiss w-horology authorities 3. assaults with anthrax-letters ... or the worst of it all: Imagine your once trusted Rep-Approved-Dealer standing right inside YOUR doorway tryin to sell you the latest model in vacuum cleaning I definitely dunno what i would say... hmm... maybe i would ask "Are you Neil?" Lol No way... this is serious business here! KEep this infos streaming... i would as well bear some bad feelings in my stomach receiving mail like this!! George

i hope the same. Did contact laconic Mr. "N" ...so far, no positive acknowledgement on this one George

Just wanted to drop a line... Congrats Randy on this purchase Stunning watch as far as your pics crop up!! What would you say about overall-finish of the piece? Close to mbw/mbk?? Am close to pull the trigger on that one Wear it well! George

not intended at all to appear sarcastic lol if intended, the pic wouldve been a shot of my gen AP ROO (which i dont have lol) i understand your point and when it comes to accuracy i do prefer to own a few reps with bigger accuracy than too much worthless copies. Im no expert on ROO issues but i can imagine that beeing the 7750 a thicker movement than for example an eta 28XX or genuine jlc with DD module on top, the rep might come without antimagnetic protection!? We do produce a lot of hot air just discussin on what may be and bla bla i just cant wait to see the first review of a member that got this new type of ROO! george

ADDITION on antimagnetic protector: Did find some hints on the net and antimagnetic protection is mentioned few times but couldnt find a picture of it. Maybe theres something attached on the 4 little wholes on the "inner ring" surrounding the movement on previous pic i posted. Anyway? If caseback is a closed one doesnt bother anyway... Did find pics of AP ROOs with glass-caseback (no reps lol) and NO a-m shield visible, i suggest some may come with one, some gens maybe not using them. george

??? could you pls be a little bit more precise on where this "antimagnetic protection" is to find on gen ap roo?? ---> pic below i suggest you mean somethin as on omega planet ocean infos appreciated... i dont think the roo carries any kind of a-m shield protector george

nope i didnt... sorry i maybe somehow lost control, got lyric... and replied to much on this issue with this certain guy... but i dont get it why things like this seem to happen over and over and over again... that makes me somehow angry although the worst case scenario didnt happen rite now and today. We do still exist but some smartass shouldnt tempt the fate too much. maybe its just cause "we" arent ready to discuss things like that in the open right now... i mean we can give it a second try if we have the "one-world-government" run by the nwo and satan to discuss things like replicas frankly in the open wtf?! george

ive read the thread too on the gen-board... long time ago i also did sign in there. and yes you are right, just reading the posts and reactions first made me laugh too for sure its not simple as 1, 2, 3 to sum everything up but in the end i think it stroke too much attention (again) on the quality of some high-end reps and on the hobby of the collectors down here and on other rep-boards. its true that the ppl that are into buying a gen have to be careful and if you put it that way the post could have done some kind of "preventative help". but the point is that most of the gen collectors DO already KNOW that if your into purchasing a gen, especially over the i-net, you have to be damn careful! no one of these guys needs some kinda "special admittance" to our site... silence is sometimes golden fact is that producing/collecting reps is an ILLEGAL Biz and producing/collecting gens not!! (unless they are not stolen lol) and thats why you have to be careful, the legal biz can always f_uck down the illegal biz! if someones into collecting and comparing reps to the real thing and/or collecting maybe both type of items (gens/reps) i guess a persons like this would receive a "warm welcome" on the rep-boards, but precondition is ALWAYS some kind of discreetness and sure instinct when dealing with the illegal... although much of the people responding to the post of the banned member were pretty stoked of the qualitiy of the rep shown. i guess not all members were very happy seeing that the asian-rep-factories did once again come a few points nearer to the real thing they just did spent their hard earned bucks on Remember: Why accepting the risk of "helping" one member on a public gen-board with posting pics of a rep, showing of the quality or the flaws, if most of the people there would ANYWAY consult their known ADs for buying a gen and accept the HUGE loss of them (mainly the gen-industry) to F_U C K us up??? We can just annoy them with pics of a "perfect" rep, they can shut us down... Just my 2

Thats Bielefeld i guess... in between means Niedersachsen? My GFs from there too! And @ Takashi... yes i think there are plenty undercover down here Another thing comes to my mind talking off topic... You can say about germans whatever you like when it comes to "history"... good and bad. But one thing that comes to my mind is that respective the subject women especially the germans made TREMENDOUS proceedings over the last years!! Pls dont get me wrong... i generally think (people i know) germans were all pretty cool guys and other nationalities resident and living here too but exceedingly german women made a "giant leap" when you compare things over the past 15 or 20 years. The quality did arise so much over the years (lets say from 1990 till today) that i would prefer mostly an average german gurl in opposition to an average foreign girl And not because of "external quality" but because we have really something like a shift of paradigm going on inside the country beeing lead and pushed mainly by the younger generations. The "classical" prejudice towards especially young german girls beeing more pettyfogged or narrow minded as foreign girls or girls with foreign or mixed ethnicity parents (background) isnt correct anymore!! Even when you just heard what people once said about the issue sex isnt correct anymore... Once ago you could often hear that girls with different ethnicity as german were supposed to be even of more "hot temper" when it comes to sex as germans. Talking frankly and first-hand here, i can say that nowadays its much more the opposite situation: Young people (and girls) did really OVERHAUL the foreign ethnicities and people with such background in germany positive!! German girls are often more evenhanded and do carry less amount of prejudices towards others with them as most of the average foreign people living here. And when it comes to sex?? Oh well.... what can i say If we are just examining the topic SEX i can say... If i just could chose my gurl by nationality or ethnicity in most of the cases i would choose a german gurl*. *If theres no hot latin available or maybe a cool Inuit-Eskimo girl for the summer Ok guys... sorry for the much "off topic talk" inside an OT thread but the germans did really become an easy and cool tempered nation concerning mentality! Maybe the many "small steps" took by the germans mentally over the past years could bring something like a new "giant leap" to mankind Damn i might get stoned to death by what i just wrote... blame it on the onwarding time in the middle of the night (im not drunk) Pls feel free to disagree! PEACE George

The par(en)ts not originally from germany but assembled and "made in germany" from OEM greek parts and movement Shout out @ all and special "gr

!!! C O N G R A T S !!! Best luck to you and your family The best things in life... you just cant replicate!! George

Sad to hear of your situation rob Hopefully youll manage to see better days... Respect for your courage in letting us know and to the members/admins "with an ear". I really hope we can contribute something and best wishes to you! George

I was just readin... first not intending to meddle in this "Neil-ban-matter". But with all due and honest respect to the members that have dealt with Neil, some as simple buyers/collectors, some as friends that know him better, himself as an outstanding dealer (at the same time often difficult and funny to handle as human person )... i really wish him the best regarding his illness and with all respect to the entire Admin-Team and their work... and final decision to exclude Neil (might not be forever?) lets get this statement above right... It wasnt really intended by Neil to "unveil the mystique" of so called mbw watches to the masses... there have been other people banned for divulging "the source" before if this is wrong, Neil would have been the first person to talk frankly about it. But who really anticipates from a "collector" to talk about his sources in the open? Lets say, he was something like "the first person" that made the mbw/mbk watches more accessible to the masses... with other points you mentioned i agree more but its difficult to judge. You have to consider many things... outstanding orders for watches... First lets call it "ill communication" between ttk and the members/buyers then "illness" in the truest sens e of the word... then disputes on the board... at the end even threatening of the Admin Team... Hmm... what would you do or think? Im not a witness nor a client to the GB but in the end i think we have to accredit also a certain portion of belief to the Team moderating the board. I wouldnt go that far to demand putting down lets say some kind of evidence, like pms, mails whatever to accredit the admins the same kind of trust as we do when we listened to Neil and what he wrote down these days. I dont think this decision was an easy one... but i think its good when "a game has some rules" and maybe "some lines" arent just there to go across them. Whatever... just my 2 cents from germany George

Well... same to you rob Season's Greetings and happy new year! Hope your doing fine concerning your smoke habits. Drinkin aint a prob to me... Some people do ask "Do you got a problem with alcohol?" Well, no i say... i have a problem without it George

Lol depends on whether your brain is manual wind or automatic model Mine is quartz btw... And @pug ...if the dancer changes direction i know its time to change medication for my brainy takin Renata cr1616 this time but can accept also cr1620 or varta... And somethin else i noticed is that my brain stem located inside my panties must be automatic wind... why?? Everytime my GF gives him a shake he starts workin regardless of myself beeing awake or not. And btw i think most of the women must have some sort of "manual wind" brains... Didnt you notice before that when they talk sometimes they just stop all of sudden then they will first continue when somebody did answer them and "winds them up" Just my 2cents George

IMPORTANT NOTE for ken: The usage of drugs and/or similar means for purpose of switching the direction of the dancers rotation is strictly prohibited!! LOL Only thing i can permit is the classical "caught in the eggs Al Bundy movement"...

Thanxs gang Funny thing is irrespective of if you know whats the purpose of this test (left brain/right brain or other brains) its almost IMPOSSIBLE to cheat on yourself... the first time you look at this picture everybody will see the person (more precise naked chick) spinning around! I see the person turning clockwise... without dispute. My GF for example sees the chick once turning clockwise, then after a "break" turning anti-clockwise. I did this test with a few persons. My older partner or chief in business also sees the rotation clockwise... However our secretary sees the person spinning in both directions and another male working in our office sees the person spinning anti-clockwise! What i consider "funny" is the fact that the gif picture is just a shot sequence of pictures appearing one after one. That means on a 2 dimensional layer there cant be (by the laws of physics) any rotation but just the rotation deduced of the 2 dimensional pictures in your head. Now guys... your mind is playing tricks on you lol... or your pants?? (To be true i could detected an arising amount of blood pressure inside my panties when doing ths test with my GF) George

Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction... see if you can do it. Attention: People that see the dancer turning clockwise are often supposed to be gay or wearing their pam on the left wrist LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS: uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS: uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based PANTIES FUNCTIONS: sex Many thanxs to the Herald Sun - online article from October 09 - 2007 P.S. If ANY of you guys just pretend to see the shadow of a naked woman unabel to determine whether she is turning clockwise or ticking anti-clockwise... because of rising blood presure inside your long johns... then my dear little fellows... its definitely clear: You arent using your left brain nor your right brains but most of the time you use nothing more BUT YOUR PANTS!!! Never mind... Have some FUN guys!! George

@laz I feel sorry readin things like that though i dont know you nor your friend. What a shame when things like this happen taken someone away in the prime of his life Regards George

Nope... im getting tired of this. Pls dont expect me to name something. But for the "Do-It-yourself-informers"... do a search for so called mbw-models, for example the AP ROO is an easy one to spot. And i dont mean the search function on the boards but in the net. Would you be surprised to see them also on Non-Board-related sites?? Thanks for asking Manuel George

Nice seeing you around again Ken Best wishes! George
