That's the great thing about RWG1 - we only spend about 7% of our posts on watches - the rest is on everything and anything else. We pace ourselves - to avoid getting "premature rep burn." I want this hobby to last a while.

Absolutely, I've bought a lot more watches than you have, but am slowing down now - in part for that reason. RWG1 isn't really about the watch addiction for me either... it started that way, but quickly became about the friends I've made there...

Damn, I can't wait for our 'home' to come back online. This board is a fantastic resource, but it ain't home...

They really do look astoundingly good for the dough. I'll be interested to see your pics when they finally arrive. If they're _that_ good, I might even have to try TTK myself....

Now that's real nice. Thanks, mate

Also, if you've ever worked retail - or possibly even if you haven't - you might find this an entertaining (if rather long for the web) read.

Bored as well. But bored with watches more than anything, methinks...

Say it ain't so!

Mind you, we at RWG1 don't get bored with watches - largely because we don't spend much time talking about them

All the movies you could want. With bunnies. (and no, don't worry, that link is NOT the reproll this time )

How about a pic of Oscar waiting for the post to arrive?

uhm.... I think I'll pass on that one too...

How about a pic of a nice Rollie on a bracelet - just like God intended....?

If your next post is gonna be a photo of the village people, I think I'd just as soon skip it

That is truly a thing of beauty. Congratulations!

Yep SA - another good alternative...

By the way - that avatar of yours is likely to compel me to spend money before long..... damn but that BR is a nice watch.

Josh has been known to replace watches lost in transit on many occasions.

However, if you're in the EU, then using Chris makes a lot of sense. He'll charge you more to despatch from within the EU initially, but it removes the chances of customs getting their grubby little mitts on your precious rep. Same goes for Precious Time or Narikaa.

Personally, I'm quite happy to continue to use Josh, Lawrence, Ruby and the others as I've only had one faulty watch out of 9, and that was dealt with without problems of any kind (by Josh). It's really down to your personal comfort zone, I guess... (I'm in the UK btw).

Looks like they're selling a lot of street junk at fairly high prices. Stick to the recommended dealers - you'll be a lot safer.

I thought it was a ribbon from the State Fair.

My other thought was the braces (suspenders for those of the American persuasion) that my grandfather used to wear when I was a kid.......

Edit: sorry, alw - not meaning to yank your chain, but from this you may deduce that NATO straps ain't my thing

Check the dealer subforums and the links section (top of the page - click 'Links')

Exactreplicas are known scammers, I'm afraid - glad you didn't lose any money.

By the way, I have to agree with the others: your avatar is rather offensive. Please change it.

Edit: thanks for changing the avatar, but the new one ain't a whole lot better

None of your links work for me, but fer Gawd's sake stick to the recommended dealers....

Exactreplicas are known scammers btw....

still going now greg but will bump to 1000 if it stops thanx

I imagine it's going to depend on your particular sample - like my VC, if it's well-lubed hopefully it'll just need the lower rate.

Wow thanks man!! Now I've checked it it seems same replica Ive seen on other chinese watch replica site becouse movement : 7750 Valjoux Working Chronograph movement and there price was 500$ here $378.00 with same movement.. Wow good.. Hmmm need to think ..

PS: Ive seen also some sites says they sell "Zenith Defy Xtreme Open El Primero" and photos from offical website. But when I am ask them send me of watch that made by them they send Zenith Defy Xtreme not right model or they say we cant send becouse blalala .. So it is seems Zenith Defy Xtreme Open El Primero Still not yet replicated? Or not even possible ?...

I've seen a cheap and crappy rep of the open el primero (and I MEAN crappy! ), but nothing upmarket. My guess is that it would be very difficult to replicate even fairly accurately using the standard movements found in replicas.

Be careful about sites listing it - a lot of scam site use gen photos and then either fail to send you a watch at all, or send really cheap junk instead. Stick to the recommended dealers - it'll save you a lot of grief.

hahaha

Sorry - I guess Oscar's "bracelets are for girls" sig is beginning to get to me

MBK, with gen T-39 superdomed plexi, ubi datewheel with flat "3", gen springbars....

A very nice watch - looks superb! Shame about the luggage strap you've got it on........

Thanks guys for quick replay!! Yes I know Defy Extreme serias are not easy to make replica.. Ive seen so far poor chinese replica 50-60$ selling over online that doesnt even look to something... And Ive seen 1 again chinese website saying it is high end price about 500$ with ETA Chrono normal working.. even they told weight is same to... I try to find that website and show you guys ... Still I am waiting your advices..

Thanks

Having just had a quick look out of sheer curiosity, it appears that at least one of our recommended dealers, Josh (www.joshwatch.com) has the new upmarket Defy rep now. Prices from $358 (which is cheaper than I've seen in some places).

Hello everyone. I am myself watch collector original replica doesnt matter I collect them all. Anyone know good site where sell Zenith Defy Extreme good replica?

Thanks

Welcome!

There are a few reps of the Defy range available (some cheap and nasty, but there's a couple of good ones too), but I don't know which of the trusted dealers have them yet as they're very new. Check the links for our recommended dealers, or visit their subforums on here. If you can't find what you want, I'd recommend contacting Josh or Andrew to see if they've had them in yet.

just bumped the skyland up to 850 as the fooker had stopped

You might have to set that for 1000 - 7750's seem to need it, apparently.

Swiss MVT in the VC? Or maybe just propperly lubed at factory.

Col.

Nope, it's a 21J - just seems to be a good one, that's all.

greg= cheapskate

You mean you've only just worked that one out....?

Nice Oscar. The slowest seting that keeps your watches wound. It will vary from MVT to MVT. Native 21Js and ETAs should be happy on 650, watches with complications like GMT hands or moon phase take a little more and may need 850 while the 1000 is for those who sunscribe to the therey that chronos should be left to run.

Col.

Yep - I'd agree with that - a couple of my 21Js seem to need 850 too, but as you say, they have complications (Tag GC RS8 GMT particularly). Surprisingly, the VC is happy at 650. Go figure.

I wish I'd bought the 8 capacity winder to start off with, though - my single winder is almost useless. I'll drop a watch on it intending to wear it the following morning - come the morning I've changed my mind about the watch I want to wear, so the wrong one is in the winder..

Nice looking winder. Might be a good idea if you took the foam packaging out of the top of the winder before you switched it on, however - likely to work better that way

Do you know the prices??? How about from $2800 to $12,000 a watch?

Yes, OF COURSE I know the flamin' prices, I wouldn't be talking about buying one otherwise. Sheesh. There are quite a few reps and 'unbranded' watches around based on the Seagull flying tourby - some of them are quite inexpensive, comparatively speaking.

Look on Seagull webpage!

Well... Ofcourse, I can get it much cheaper... I want one-two from the catalog, that I posted on RWG ages ago.

yeah, yeah, yeah......
