a "solid" point I think his shrink would probably say something along these lines...

LOL - sorry John - but you must understand there is no such thing as a thread hijack in the BIN - ok ok, I suppose we should have some kind of respect for each other This would have been more appropriate

I finally got my Montres Carlo from Ruby today - for $169, it's simply outstanding! Genuine Montres Carlo Movement : Miyota 2035 Caseback : Stainless Steel Case: painted steel Bezel : painted steel Strap : Genuine Cow Hide Leather Water Resistance: Good @#$! Luck lol I just had to - I bought a handful of real cheap watches from my local wholesaler - I wanted to see how nice I could make a $3 watch look - I removed the tin bracelet and put a $3.50 strap (I get wholesale locally) - the watches were bought just to practice taking the movement out, replace it, removing crystal, etc. I just wanted to play around with my watchmaker tools before I dive into watches of any value - I picked up 3 of these bad boys and this is the only one still together - it looks much worse in person Hey, it's better than getting Rick Rolled

BLASPHEMY!

YAY - RWG!!! - I was getting worried! meet you over there http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/index.php

some people have NO life I tell ya - imagine just wasting all that time online - day in and day out - posting useless "crap" - some people... wait a minute...

only joking MGI ! beer?

no more rations... some of us are real hungry and I still have tomato paste dripping off of me - why do they look at me... then the camp fire... then back at me

you will be my inspiration I gotta sell more houses quick so I can buy more watches (and complete my $50k commercial license) that means less www and more sales <---- addict

I can assure you there are real Swiss movements available - even if built for ETA in China

this business comes with risk - if you are unwilling to take it - buy a gen having said that, there are alternatives - but it will still carry a certain amount of risk - just much less - for example, If you deal with Chris at Eurotimez, he will take your payment, order your watch from the factory, have his watch maker open it up and do a full quality control check on it (read up on him) and if everything checks out, he'll ship it to you - this greatly reduces the risk because chances are you won't have to send it back to for silly repairs but there is no guarantee, it's just your best chance, unless you buy locally - I use to pay big bucks to a guy here in Canada that I can try the watch out 1st before I buy. You'll pay $350 for a $150 watch - and STILL you have risk of the cheap asian trinket failing. yep, the only real way to avoid these risks is to buy a gen but the money you pay for a rep FAR outweighs the risk choose your dealer, then your watch also, do research on which watches are of better quality - the more research you do, the lower your overall risk - but I think the risk adds a little flare to the game

The Asian would rep them quick!

hehe - I was joking about letting you take the risk - bless your heart though with a shill like you, who needs reviews - I'm in! I'm too curious to know how the quality is like on the cheapys Don't forget to let us know next time you go down.. er.. east - you can smuggle our watches in for us

Pocket! WB - we thought you'd perished in the wreckage - we are practically out of rations and the little tomatoes we had left are.. well, not available anymore

pure sex on a strap - nice pics! love the carbon fiber - thanks for sharing - definitely on the wish list

Swiss women will too - or so I hear

my Navitimer has had the same lume for as long as I can remember - I've had it 20 years - the lume sucked back then though - I have reps with better lume

well you know I'm not crazy for blonds so I'll take an Asian - or two or 9

well, you'd have to take people away from things like knives or even cars for that matter (which kill much more) - taking away rights is not an answer - why should I pay for dumb criminals? Do you think taking all guns away from law-abiding citizens will somehow stop criminals from getting them - they couldn't care less if guns are illegal Here in Canada you have to jump through hoops to get a gun especially restricted guns like pistols or "assault" type guns - they contacted my x girlfriends and I had a Police interview, etc. which I'm totally for but just don't take any rights away from me or I'll KILL SOMEONE ok, that last part was a joke - I want to spell it out clearly so the gun lobbyists don't start jumping

wtf, you can't be serious http://theshitstream.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html it seems there is an underground "movement"

Pug is great no doubt but keep in mind this is directly from the ETA web site as mentioned earlier - better to eat their bandwidth

hey man - I know you - I don't know him if I do order, it will be through you so you better work out a commission plan with him quick

hammer + anvil = quick success you just want to remove it right?

go for the Swiss movement if the extra money won't break the bank. Yes, Asian ETA's are good clones but I doubt their assembly standards can come close to Swiss - I mean their built in wet underground sweatshop by China's youth - besides the inferior parts themselves, there is the point of quality control and how well the movement was lubricated and assembled. Some will tell you to get your movement serviced out of the box but I can't see the point if you get yourself a new Swiss movement fresh from the pack - it already has been assembled and oiled according to Swiss standards and quality control. Although it was put in your watch in less than desirable conditions, I still feel it will last longer out of the box over an Asian movement - all of them will have to get serviced sooner or later but I'm betting that generally the Swiss movement will keep time longer. So you order a swiss based watch.. the problem? Many factories will throw in used, refurbished and mixed parts in place of new genuine Swiss movements - I have experience with this first hand. I would suggest using a dealer that has his watchmaker open the watch to confirm the movement and while he's in there, grease the seals and do a general quality control check on the watch - you'll pay more $ but for many it's worth it. I am referring to the likes of the 2824 or 2836 but movements such as the 7750 may not be worth the extra $300-400+. An Asian 7750 movement itself can be had for about $130US whereas the Swiss Valjoux 7750 is about $400-600 depending on availability and from whom you order it from. the 21J class of movements (which are oddly not always 21 jewel movements) are interesting - they cover a range of non-complicated movements and are very cheap. If one fails, you would never take it in for service - a new DG2813 for example, can be had for about $10 - you could just swap it out - same as the faster DG4813 - I don't know a great deal about swapping movements but I'd like to get around to doing this myself. I'll need one of my 21J's to break 1st there is still an open debate on the differences between an Asian 2824-2 and a Swiss one... apparently it's difficult for even a watchmaker to tell without detailed examination - just my 2c
