IRON MAIDEN w/ twisted sister was my first...in the early 80s...I was 13...my dad took me (and we still laugh about it) Why did I think of this? I just saw an iron maiden video on "Metal Mania" -- one of the music video channels. Anyway, what was your first...

Elliott = POS (sorry...way too much scotch in me this evening to keep my big mouth shut)

lol

Welcome! You cant go wrong with Johsua (aka, pefect-clones). Enjoy the addiction!

Larry has been drinking...

I agree Jeff.

The U G O C A N E S

buying power tools from home depot that I really do not need and usually only use once.

but you keep talking about it...and talking about it...and talking about it...etc...etc. Yeah, you have no interest at all...so you feel a need to keep talking about it...and talking about it.

@rolex, I dont think the breitling navitimer has the new 7750. I reasearched high and low to see if I could find someone selling it with the new movement and I turned up nothing. I even showed pics of the one I thought might be it to The Zigmeister and he said it was not the new movement. What is your source? I'd love to find that model with the new movement.

Those are genuines, yet the mag does not look so big. So maybe the mag on our reps is not that bad?

what happened to joe v. The Zigmeister? far more interesting.

I love the national day of norway. I just finished taking down the party decorations.

Hi neil. Glad you dropped in. So nice to see you sweetie. Hope all is well on your end of the pond. Gee whiz, I really like you lots

Super Avenger would be great. I love the chrono avenger too, but I am still spooked by the crap shoot of ordering an asian 7750. Third favorite would be the seawolf. fourth favorite would be a tie between evolution and navitimer. And I prefer the dull look of titanium, which is one of the reasons I put the titanium models first.

So do the conspiracy theorists still think the USA faked it? I suppose the conspiracy theorists think the new video is a fake?

Maybe people who did NOT have money in the bank were not cleaned out.

i just stole 3000 of your points

okay

totally agree! And this is an interesting discussion in my opinion too.

This hobby is not that underground in my opinion. Replica watch sites (the one's we call scammers) advertise in Rolling Stone magazine. And I believe that the average joe who sees someone wearing a rolex automatically thinks "fake". This hobby of ours is part of a multi billion/per year industry...so definitiely not underground IMO. But again, I go back to my original point. Even if maintaining our "secrets" was important to me, I still think that "secrecy" is trumped by putting out a product that helps people avoid getting ripped off. just my .02

Well. I think it is sad. I have been asked about my watches on about 10 different occassions and have always identified them as replicas right off the bat. I buy them because they are sweet ass looking watches that I derive pleasure from. It is a hobby that would not exist for me if there were no reps because I would NEVER put my money into a genuine. So yes, some of us are not trying to fool the world. If you are telling people that your replicas are real, then you are just lying to yourself.

richard, I couldnt disagree more. there are no trade secrets. we are not trying to fool the world, but if people are, then that is sad. far more important in my eyes than whether you, me, or anyone else gets called out on the fact that we are wearing fake watches IS whether the book could help one person avoid being ripped off on ebay or anywhere else. For that, the book is a comendable endeavor in my eyes. Where the author received the info? I do not know or care. But if you are insinuating that he is plagerizing, then that is pretty serious and you should back those kinds of allegations up with facts IMO.

Very informative post. But one correction...a troy ounce of gold is around $678 today. If you can get it for 550, buy buy buy!
