  1. I do not think so. Watch on the wrist should be safe by itself, in and out any country. Never had any problems with this myself. Never one question about the watch. I have traveled to 21 countries and about 50 airline travels within Europe.
  2. its a sinn...sounds as if the teeth on one side of a gear are all [censored] up...but need to open it up to be sure
  3. Long Islands are same lug distance then 7 1/2 ??? Metrics is the only system I use...my wrist is 190mm so guess quite large wrist size on me yes I appreciate the size issues and certainly the size of the watch or actually the distance between the lugs is important not to forget...I simply measured the strap already on the watch and ordered according to that It turned out that for this one (the FM Long Island style being quite a distance between lugs) neede to be only 115x75mm = Men's Standard I had to pay 130 + shipping for my Hornback so guess its in the correct price range

    How

    could we see pictures of the movement please does it have the big date?
  5. Now thats a GOOD FOUNDATION It is indeed a great looking replicafranken miracle
  6. easy to spot those POs on the lume there compared to the others
  7. Good to be a snob So I guess blackbard and the like might be the next logical step. I know they make straps for the big sports watches but Do they make straps for the more gentleman looking replicas as well? and what about prices ..what is a reasonable price for a normal size hornback strap?

    beautiful watch beautiful Afremov
  9. Now that a horrible story good thing they did not get them all but 100 Euros out the window is just horrible
  10. Yes! I now know that selecting the better strap and deployment/buckle for a watch is hard work...and I am just starting to get into buying "custom made" straps..... Previosuly I have used what I have received from joshua and other dealers and been happy with that, but now I see that there is more to it than that...there are multiple aspects to take into consideration...hell you can even order Name Stamping on the inside of the strap these days Just ordered a similar to this strap from Hong kong but different buckle and flatter style (= not as padded as this one) Details of mine: Strap: E128DH Horn Back Crocodile_Double Horns 1. Strap Style : 71G (Standard) # Standard Flat Style_4mm 2. Size : 24x22mm 3. Length : 115x75mm_Men's Standard 4. Stitch Colour : Black 5. Buckle : NC/144 polished 6. Name Stamping : yes 7. Quick Release Pin (Not Available For Panerai) : NA Hornback Leather Colors : E12801 # Black It is for my FM LI Crazy hour hopefully I will find that missing screw before it arrives As I said earler....I am now starting to appreciate the importance of the strap type and feel to feel comfortable and prouder wearing some of my older replicas. Certainly the deploymant/buckle is an important issue also. I have no previous experience with inspire-workshop.com but at least their website is a good inroduction int the details of selecting the correct strap when it comes to size, length, width, thickness, shape and other issues I know that quite a few of members here are true experts on straps, and even sell or make their own, so maybe they should educate us even further on this topic??...I suggest that someone should start a thread stating/suggesting what strap lengths, shape and other dimensions are most suitable for our watches, and this is particularly needed for the less popular brands like Franck Muller Good evening Gunnar

    now that is nice to see...mine of unsure make is in a bankvault anyhow still wearing this heavy 45mm OMEGA joshultimate PO Chrono
  12. he should be ok..and maria..and johsua..and andrew too I guess Just remember to do research on the watch you buy, and be warned that the quality of the replicas is not always that great due to lack of quality control....start will a well tried replica before moving on...like an OMEGA, IWC or TAG search and read a little on the board to get into things and you will see and be rewarded enjoy and welcome gran
  13. Yes its true they use at least 49% Asian made parts on their movements

    Looks great on you..even got into 2010 This is actually the replica that gave me the most trouble ever..even got into a fight with Joshua about it, unfortunately event back in 2004...couldent change the year and had to use a real hammer to move it...and missing a screw too and the back lid spring was caked Highflyingclive made this impression of that monstrous event
  16. We need Drogba to win too he cries like a girl but he scores like a man
  17. Damn crash!!!! and I had made such a good reply to Dani in the Liverpool thread...its all gone...but Ill bring on the flames later adm will understand being an LFC fan himself
  18. damn lost my excellent reply to this, and it was smoking hot too...goddamn datacrash
  19. Me love black and me love luminosity even more plenty Happiest Timekeeping Gunnar
  20. GMTs are great Thanks Tor! It is running well so far, chrono functions well and flows well along, the sub seconds hand is smooth as silk. it actually seem to run accurately as far as reps go...but guess it will be destined for some tender loving service in Germany or Canada in the not too distant future...lume is only replica bright But one major down side it is way way too big and heavy to have on my quad watchwinder
