  1. I hope the factories are looking at these (along with the "gen" they purchased to ensure they give us a 1:1 replica)

    That's it...I am buying a gen sub for X-mas. It is a must-have. Great looking watch!!!
  3. Just found this "newer" DeepSea over at Pam111. The CGs look a lot better than Josh's IMHO. I would love to get opinions on strengths/flaws as I definitely want a DeepSea in the future Here are the details: W-3648 AUTOMATIC ETA 2836 FOR MAN SEA-DWELLER DEEPSEA Diameter of case:43mm * 17.8mm / Stainless steel case Movement: Automatic ETA 2836-25j Glass: Domed Sapphire crystal - 3:00: date - M serial - Uni-directional bezel - Closed 6 & 9 on date wheel - Solid case back with Titanium Seal - Screws on the band - Serial no. & model no. between lugs Gen pics for comparison:
  4. I should have this exact same color combo in the the mail tomorrow...I can't wait!
  5. Easy fix. You can get those at any rep-friendly watchmaker. I had the same thing happen to my SSD and it took my watchmaker 45 seconds to fix. BTW, he didn't even charge me for the repair.
  6. Just bought a UPO on SS with the correct 22mm lugs and I was wondering where I can get either a Gen or Rep rubber strap for it? Can you request these from the dealers? If not, anyone have one they want to get rid of or can someone direct me to a source that has them? Thanks!
  7. Who has the best submariner replica for under $500.00? ...Just kidding, I already know
  8. Dial, rehaut, pearl, bezel = HORRIBLE What do you guys think? GEN: REP:
  9. Crown guards are horrible. Note the "bottom" part (closest to caseback). I think I will wait on V2 as this is not modifiable. Crown is horrible too. Gen: Rep:
  10. Oh yeah...and finding a forum that has allowed me to acquire a few high quality replica watches!...and the people here aren't too shabby either!
  11. I am thankful for the abundance of single, professional, attractive women in the Greater Atlanta area. I often reflect on how lucky I am that half of the men around here are homosexual (not that there is anything wrong with that). I also realize I am lucky that (for what ever reason), they find me attractive too. I will never forget how good the last 6 years have been to me and how great the prospects are year in and year out. I will neither become arrogant or complacent and will strive to remain a humble mammal doing what mammals do for as long as this bountiful harvest showers me with its delectable fruits.
  12. The backside of the bracelet is also way different than gen. Actually it is the backside of the SELs. Overall the watch looks very good if you just shave the CGs, oil the bracelet and replace the pearl.
  13. I need to build a light box but it is amazing what you can do if you read about the advanced settings in your standard $100.00 digital cameras...
  14. For anyone with the technical intelligence higher than a soccer mom, I would recommend the Blackberry Curve or Bold HANDS DOWN. There is so much you cannot do with the iPhone when using it for business. I have used BBs for over 5 years and I now own the Curve (with 4.5.5 OS with embedded HTML email, video recording, searchable email on Exchange server) and the new iPhone 3G. I didn't know that there were so many "advanced" BB settings that I relied on. iPhone is terrible at battery, GPS car navigation, advanced email routing, specialized groups, special alerts for different groups, rules, sms, copy/paste, advanced outlook calendar intergration...the list is goes on and on. Stereo Bluetooth does not even work on it. It cannot record video or do Bluetooth tethering. It does not have voice command. If you really use smart phones as a tool to earn your paycheck don't get an iPhone. If you like showing girls your Facebook and MySpace pictures at at bar, playing games and almost wrecking your car every time you try to type on it then get an iPhone. I plan on taking mine back or selling it. Think about it..I can get a BB Bold that does MORE than an iPhone, place a 16 GB storage card in it and actually have a superior business tool as well as an entertainment center all in one. Anyone want an 8GB iPhone 3G with not a single scratch anywhere on it? I placed a screen protector on it in the store before turning it on and got a rubber case for it at the same time.
  15. I was looking around tonight and I saw that the Breitling SFSO Asian 21J is now available for $100.00. http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1821 This is $160-168 on other sites right?
  16. Euromariner all the way! If the end goal here is to have the closest thing to a gen...just get the Swiss ETA Euromariner. Keep in mind the the best version (V2) of the Euromariner has that ugly ROLEXROLEXROLEX engraving on the rehaut. Chris said he is coming out with a new version without the engraving soon. You will get to play around with modding a little with the CG's and insert. If you get a Noob/BKMariner, no matter what you do to it, the case dimensions and rehaut will be off. ...and yes you can get just cases. Right here: http://ndtradingcorp.com/zen/index.php?mai...c102ee10b3538b5
  17. Get the ETA...Go big now, or you will be kicking yourself later when you wish you had a real Swiss movement in that puppy! Once you get it ,shave the crown guards, pop in a WatchMaterial pearl and you are basically finished!
  18. ...and that wraps up our lesson for the night boys and girls. Stay away from the Idol Replica "1:1" Sea Dweller and here is why: 1. Date window on dial is too large and too far to the right 2. Crystal does not have the right chamfering on the crystal edge. 3. Helium valve is too dark 4. It does not come from a trusted dealer See, we all learned something...
