  5. Warning Unsolicited mail from China, a security risk

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    ...but if it is coming from some one i have never dealt with then i am VERY concerned.

    Frightening!! :o:blink:

    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 :p:huh:

    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!!

  8. AP ROO 1:1 Coming Soon

    in The Audemars Piguet Area

    Posted

    No need to be sarcastic... , I had one, I opened it and there was the protection.

    :D 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!

    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.

    I am with you George - I don't supose you saw my flying under the radar is better comment???

    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 :animal_rooster:

    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 :diablo::shock: to discuss things like replicas frankly in the open wtf?!

    On a more positive note:

    This is the first German watch forum I ever looked in, I guess I am too long in the US already.

    Some of the comments are really pretty funny :)

    Like one guy wrote: 'Easy to spot the rep - the 12 o'clock marker is really centered :):):) ' - like on the gen it isn't always.

    Another one about the remark that the rehaut engraving is not symetrical on the rep said that he was at an AD in Hamburg looking at this gen GMT and the rehaut was about 3mm off center. :p

    One guy several pages in wrote 'wouldn't it be funny if the guy now said: Oh it actually was the left one that is the rep!' Everybody had a laugh at that.

    Another one said ' he should not have told which one is the rep - I bet 30% would have guessed the wrong one.'

    I am not saying that it is right that he did that listing, I am all for flying under the radar so we can keep going. But some people really enjoyed that posting in Germany and will be more allert when they buy their next gen.

    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 B) 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

  13. who is from germany in this community?

    in The looney bin

    Posted

    On A2, middle betwen Hanover-Belefeld ;) Temporary on IE.

    Thats Bielefeld ;) i guess... in between means Niedersachsen?

    My GFs from there :) too!

    And @ Takashi... yes i think there are plenty undercover down here B)

    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 :p

    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 :mellow:

    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 :p

    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

  17. TTK's Status on RWG

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Neil was the first person to warn you all of increasing prices, yet managed to remove the mystique from MBW watches and sell you them for $200 less than before.

    That's how you thank him!

    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 :D )... 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

  19. Are you clockwise? Or even anti-clockwise?

    Is she manual wind or automatic?

    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 :rolleyes: 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 :blink:

    then they will first continue when somebody did answer them and "winds them up" :D

    Just my 2cents

  21. Are you clockwise? Or even anti-clockwise?

    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)

    Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

    dancer.gif

    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 ;)

    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... :p Have some FUN guys!!

  24. What is an MBW?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Can you expand on this?, as it appears that we - the great RWG masses - are missing out on something?

    Are we not l33t enough? :lol:

    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 ;)
