  1. Guys This came out in late 2009 but was kind of a let down. They used the Mark XV case, crown was terrible, bad AR and the dial was bad also. WM9 had one planned but famously disappeared long before starting the project. Has there ever been a V2? I don't think so. So I think it is time to resurrect this old thread... Anybody chime in? Kind regards Val.
  2. Hi Ted Welcome to the forum. Take your time and read around, there's an amazing wealth of knowledge here. I doubt there's anybody who's seen replicas of the watches you posted. These show off very special in-house Breguet movements that are impossible to rep for the Chinese factories. There's only so many movements to be found in Reps and those are used in all Replica watches. It would not be economical to rep a movement for just one model. Cheers! Val.
  3. Hi guys I thought I'd start a new thread in GD about this, more hits. Has anybody been in contact with Nikki6? Last time he posted he did not sound positive about his state at all. That's two months ago. I'm very worried. Is there anybody on the boards who knows him in real life and can get some information? Thanks. Valerian
  4. Legendary precision 1: Legendary precision 2: Have a great start into the week! Val.
  5. Plai I had contact with him mid July. He said he is extremely busy and will leave for a holiday. I guess he's still in his time out. Val.
  6. Thank you. Love the strap! Val.
  7. Another way of looking at it. More cynical, but probably also closer to the truth. Val.
  8. I agree. Rolex has changed their business strategy and invested several million francs in their movement development. They even built new sites and hired many skilled people. They're definitely not going to use Sellitas in their watches. Here I disagree. The Hayek family who owns and manages ETA have decided to only produce ebauches and movements for their own trust. They did this to force Swiss watch manufacturers to diversify. Nicolas Hayek saw himself not only as a business man but also as a protector of Swiss economy. He thought it bad for the industry that ETA was that powerful on the market. When he decided to stop selling ETA ebauches to other manufacturers the Swiss antitrust office forced him to prolong sales for some years so that other companies could step up and fill the gap ETA would leave open. Sellita is one of those smaller companies that took the chance offered to them by Hayeks strategy. Kind regards Valerian
  9. Waiting for the train... Have a great day! Valerian
