Yup - as we figured, that's the same version as a friend brought back from Shenzhen for me a few months back. Darned good for a cheapie - I wear mine quite a bit. Even the strap is good. The only downsides are the non-adjustable GMT dial and the fact that the date advances all the way to 39! Still, who cares at that price? Enjoy!

Thanks

Okay, Hijacking my thread back... The insurance company has confirmed that they are rejecting the claim for my car. "Act of God", they're calling it. Therefore I've just got my own insurance company involved - wish I'd done so at the beginning, as these guys believe in customer service. Anyhow, I'm getting yet another courtesy car next week. They're taking my own car away on Tuesday and have promised to give me a final decision on whether they will repair it or write it off within 14 days. Because they will be taking action against the original insurance company, they've warned me that it might take a while to get the financial side sorted out, but so long as I know for sure they're going to write off my existing car (and have taken it off the road - it's still sitting at my place, so still has to be insured and taxed), I can go buy a Benz and haggle the toss with them later. I'm beginning to believe I might actually have the worst of this sorted out by the end of this month. Wish me luck!

The real question is whether Onze can resist posting a pictorial response to that question.....

"He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot."

This is a watch. Would suit you, too: :D

I got in touch with iabounty some time back, but he hasn't shown up, unfortunately. He does know where we are, though... I know we've said hi elsewhere since RWG1 went down, but good to see you in our 'home away from home' here in the bin, SA

I think he knows - he's got an account here

Just tape her mouth shut first, please....

How about one of these instead: That was my thought too...

It was not necessary to post this thread twice - multiple postings of this kind can lead to suspicion that you are, in fact, associated with the owner of the web site and are trying to drum up business. See my reply to your other post.

I wouldn't trust any dealer who posts photos of gens purporting to be the watches he or she sells. Looks very fishy. My recommendation is to avoid like the plague. Stick to the dealers recommended on the various rep watch boards. It's all too easy to lose your dough or be fobbed off with street junk at high prices. Ask anyone who's been in this hobby for a while - most of us have made that mistake at least once. In all seriousness, the best policy is always to assume that it's a scam unless you find strong evidence to the contrary (i.e. info from others who have successfully bought from them)

I can smell it from here...

Hunt around and you'll probably find it cheaper than that. However, don't be mislead - whilst the case, strap etc may be the same on some of these quartz reps, the dial generally isn't - usually subdial spacing is a little off due to the different layout of the quartz movt vs. the 7750. Having said that, they're often darned good nevertheless. Ultimately, it's going to depend on how anal you are about accuracy vs. the gen - I have a couple of quartz reps myself (AP / Tag) and they're quite convincing to all but a fellow watch nut. I haven't seen the Porsche in person, but the photos certainly look pretty good.

haha - I do it the other way around. RWG fan, occasional poster on RepGeek Welcome!

Welcome! PT's great, as is Chris from Eurotimez, but here in the UK we're lucky to have no problems importing our reps (although it's a good idea to keep it down to one or two watches per order - no point in inviting trouble). Personally, I've ordered from Josh, Ruby and several other reputable watch dealers based in China / Malaysia / Thailand without any problems whatsoever, so you can feel fairly safe ordering from whoever takes your fancy.

I feel ill.....

You got that right.

no. I's Birmingham. She's Illinois. We's both somewhere else now. oke?

Oscar = goats John = sheep Got it straight now?

From Illi-[censored]-nois, yet...
