  1. my tracking number sez Inbound Into Customs since 4 pm on FRiday ....

    should i be worried yet???

    My last watch said inbound into customs until the day it arrived even after the mailman put a note on the door it never said inbound out of customs. After searching for related posts I found that it isn

  2. Does anybody know if Josh uses this mail address: [EDITED] for transfering money with Moneybookers?

    It seems to be impossible for me to get in touch with him. A week has gone by and not a word.

    I have bought twice from him in the last month using Money booker [EDITED] and he just traded email with me Saturday at this address perfect88clones@gmail.com about sourcing a strap.

  3. Many thanks, dani!

    The project wasn't exactly the most cost effective; a gen costs $3k - $5k depending for a 9411 (condition, provenance etc depending); I think I spent a total of $1500 or so on mine. Granted, it would have been easier to just buy the gen, the challenge for me was whether I could gather the parts I wanted and to build :) There were some unknown factors in the parts (i.e. the ETA 2783 (which is what Tudor used for the gen) was a movement I wasn't failiar with, and was not sure it would fit correctly), but all in all a fun project.

  4. This is the best faux chrono Daytona I've ever seen. Usually the big seconds hand is running too, but in this one it is stuck too. Are you sure it isn't a real chrono? Remember: you have to unscrew the chrono pushers before it will engage, and you have to press it quite enthusiastically to let it start.

  5. After lots of research I decided to get the Retro Edition GMT Master II form Josh. The watch arrived in about a week, from china to the Midwest in a week. Not bad. At first glance the watch is perfect, I have however found 2 flaws that bother me. 1 the crown does not sit with the Coronet properly oriented. 2 and the most annoying to me is the god awful bezel, the red stops to soon and the numerals are not crisp.

    As I am new to this and am not a watch expert I would like some opinions on this watch, any other flaws that I have over looked? I did think the CG looked good.

    Is it possible to replace the bezel on this particular watch and where can you get a good bezel? Thanks in advance.
