Hi folks! Just stumbled over this: CHEAP Did report one... am busy pls feel free to report the rest. As far as i can see all blatant s_cum counterfeits! And NOT even good ones!! George

Very nice pics!! George

"Hallo Spencer"! Loved seeing that when i was a child Willkommen! Georg

Should we be allowed to curse? NO [censored] way!! George P.S. Curse? Greek is the best... "Kato me ta roucha... tha se jamiso" better "Sou jamo to soi" Best of it all: "OREIA VISIA" lol best used simply as "thank you" or "initial greeting" George

+1 Marty Absolutey true! I wish i could do that... only my mother is still around. All Grandparents passed and father died in 2008. There are too many things left unsaid between me and my father. Somehow we buried the hatchet during time of his illness but as said too many things left unspoken and then its too late. I can only second the comment of Marty... so get your things straight while your parents are still around. Life leaves no second chance. B/R George

My condolences Marty this is sad news... Hang in here if when you feel better. Regards George

Fine! So it was sent... Just saw someone saying that good average for US/EU delivery time with USPS (not overseas shipment) is about 2 weeks but can also take up to 4 weeks sometimes. Hmm If it takes more than 6 weeks for your package to show up ill send you a bag of original turkish/greek coffee for FREE to make your wait more comfortable George

Selam Deniz... No tracking? Package from US? Unlikely to vanish into nirvana that quick... Some infos on how it was shipped would be helpful - apart from that 1 month is long but not completely out of this world for US to EU/Germany. B/R George

Nice to read you again... Welcome back! George

Just a brief update concerning the "screw-down-crown": One thing they didnt rep better on this one seems to be the "screw down crown". Am not 100% sure but from the pictures on kings site showing the same rep as Josh (www.kingshowbox.com) you can see a small gap/hole above the crown that indicates that there is no screw down crown construction as on GEN 15300ST. On the gen 15300ST a metal tube comes out of the case right inside the crown where its attached. The construction with the "hole" in the case where the crown is screwed "inside" the case rather than onto a tube (as for ex. on rlx) would be correct for the model 15202, 15002 14802 and other ref# 2 hands Jumbos but NOT for the 15300ST! Cant figure out why they did this but it seems from the pictures that they reped a different crown construction. Curious to see first reviews on this one. George

Wasnt able to join too... THANKS for the post/pictures looks like you had a great time... George

Sorry @EXPERTS but you are wrong concerning case construction of the modern AP 15300ST jumbo!! (AP 15300ST = "jumbo" with second hand) I couldnt find an old post of mine where i described the case-construction of the 15300ST as 3 part - Bezel - Case - Caseback I couldnt find any official source on the net, but i once got a special reprint edition of a german watch-mag for Audemars Piguet where they describe the "sandwich" case construction in detail... nobody believed me, i have this booklet somewhere in a box in my cellar since i moved. Now you guys made me ring up german headquarters of AP in Wiesbaden right now: ---> 3 part case construction confirmed They will try and send me one of those special edition (not for sale) reprints of "Chronos Uhrenmagazin" Germany - a review of the 15300ST if they still have some. As far as i remember the article was with pictures of the watch, dont know if 1 picture clearly shows the screwed off caseback but in the text(german) the 3 parts "sandwich" case construction is explained in detail! If i got the reply from AP ill try to scan and post here you "doubting Thomas" A hint for those who look/search on the net for pics: Look at a small dark shadow right underneath the casebacks of the gen 15300ST! Now you dont need to ask yourself any longer "where" this shadowy gap comes from because you now know that the shadow comes from the attached caseback on the watch-case on the genuine AP which means this is NOT a "1 part" construction embedding the caseback into the case. On the other (steel model only!) "true" jumbos with only 2 hands the case construction is indeed 1 part embedding the caseback into the case. Some of the smaller (36mm) ROs like 14790ST do have similar case construction too but i noticed that especially on solid gold models you can also find the construction with detachable caseback. Other thing that is GOOD on this rep is: Gen has something like a "plastic gasket" that holds the movement inside the watch. This gasket causes a small dark or black ring to appear right under the steel bezel from above. On the new Jumbo 15300ST from Joshs site you can also see a small dark ring under the bezel which appears to be the upper side of the plastic gasket holding the movement inside the case. Btw i wasnt able to find some pic of a gen 15300ST with caseback detached but here are some makros of the gen: (If you look careful enough you might also see a small silver line - case viewed from the side - just at the point where the caseback "hits" the case - this fine line is the reflection from the edge of the caseback! If it would be truly a 1 piece construction there shouldnt be any reflection or edge...) Will post asap more infos - am curious how fast they will send me some infos via regular mail. It took the sales person of AP Wiesbaden 2 seconds to reply to my question on the phone and to tell me that assumption is indeed correct of 3 part construction of 15300ST no matter what you think - sorry Cheers George

Welcome! George

Good news indeed! George

And again sending positive energy back!! Great news George

ROLEX?? Never heard of them... Protest? criticism?? Hmm... what about trying to have some fun and send them a question via email?? :whistling: Good luck on searching (except if youre asking in germany) Cheers George

Have a nice trip!! Some pics would be highly appreciated George

Congrats! George

No Problem! Sorry... George

zesh..us!! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Now that was exactly what i wanted to hear... May i borrow you a shoe of mine for your hand to give his head a good spin?? I have one left, the left one was already thrown at George Bush a while ago God shaved the Queen! George

Hmmm... i guess i got it i also care a lot for historical postcards, but wasnt that a quote from Alexander The Great "I will be your friend, no matter what you put inside your a_nus"?? D, i really have to say your hidden historical knowledge brings a whole different light on your sig: --->How To: Lube and fix bracelet rattle Btw i like you anyway George

WOW!! Now this is what i call "vintage"... the first Rlx id gladly wear without any mods if the movement runs fine!! Ok you might not get a genuine Omega "Moon-watch" here but at least a watch that looks as been on the Challenger Space Shuttle back in 1986 - a watch for "tough guys" like me George

hmmm... I dont get it! Whats TGIF... a new graphic file format?? or just mean "Teh Girl Is Fresh"?? George

Heisan Bobby! Although you got hope... i would give it a try with the whisky anyway! Geia mas! George
