  3. It should be ok..or maybe even better than OK if you need the lume
  4. Blue it is................. Facts: Moon-phases in a rotating dates dial. Svend Andersen an expert in lunar calendars, and the idea of this Orbita Lunae automatic came to him while designing a Jewish calendar for Alain Silberstein in 1995. The disc under the dial carries two gold moons and two blue circles. The disc rotates at around half the speed of the dial, compensating for the 10 days difference between the lunar and solar year. Andersen adds 2 1/2 days every two months or 15 days a year. The adjustment of the calendar five times a year (in months of fewer that 31 days) removes the five surplus days....WOW!!! Just taking a peek Gran
  5. This amazing looking wood faced wrist watch might not be available in stores, but Instructables user BLADE was kind enough to post a thorough how to showing how he turned a simple Fossil Zane into a stunning custom accessory using a few common tools, a few homemade tools, and a lot of time. Next up on MTV: Pimp My Watch. ....
  6. Welcome SuperNoob If you think Ulyss Nardin watch is damned sexy youre in real trouble and should be very very careful about visiting sites like this....you might become addicted..but what really worries me is that you cant even write its name correctly but then on the other hand replica watches often have such weaknesses as wrongly spelled names etc....h best wishes Gran (I'm being tongue in cheekis today)

  10. Maybe part of the answer is that there are some really angry people out there that are tired of big nations arrogance...some want revenge...some want to prove they can die for their GOD...some have been manipulated into this...they seem to want to fight and die for their case no matter how crazy and missguided it may seem to us...young "idealistic" people that want to change the world can be quite dangerous Example picture of how missguided and cowardly some of these paople are:
  11. Sea-Gull, Homage Watches, and Fakes Due to the enormous number of inexpensive mechanical movements produced by Sea-Gull, it is no surprise that Asian replica watch factories often use Sea-Gull's to power their fakes. However, it has recently come to light on the Watchuseek Forums that at least one Sea-Gull branded watch (Sea-Gull Power Reserve) is plainly a copy of the JLC Master Reserve de Marche. While opinions about "homage" watches vary widely, particularly where Asian makers & brands are concerned, the leCoultre inspiration for this watch is totally undeniable. However... many Chinese watchmakers make homage pieces like this one. Most of those same watchmakers sell their stock wholesale, unbranded, to third parties for them to modify, re-brand and sell. So just how much is Sea-Gull complicit in the replica watch industry? What we are not able to determine in this instance is: though this watch is branded SEA-GULL and undoubtedly features a Sea-Gull movement, is it cased by Sea-Gull or by a subcontractor? In either case, are replica JLC's branded with the JLC logo and markings during initial production or post-production by a replica house? I'm not sure if we will ever be able to determine the answers to these questions. The lack of transparency in the production operations of Chinese watchmakers (and Chinese manufacturing at large), coupled with the fact that 'copyright' is only a recent concept (and even more recent law) in China, means that intellectual property questions like these will continue to be wrestled with for some time into the future.

  12. TIMEX and ALPHA use the Seagull ST16 and can be had for close to nothing...still its a reliable movement Concerning your trouble its likely that you have to send it for repair as something seriously worng with the movement but you have to wait for The Zigmeister or others to give you the details on whats wrong..terribel with those broken watches
  13. Are replicas simply renamed watches? Many relicas appear to be just renamed $35 watches....or is it more to it that that? Here are some examples and I think it should be easy to spot what watches they are mimicing...
  14. Just to clarify why I mentioned CARSLBERG chiefwiggum I show this picture to you...see the underlying connection now?...anyhow all my comments are usually "tongue in cheek", ironic, both or simply academic Be good Gunnar Gran

Conserning HUBLOT now thats a totally different story.............one thing is for sure you wont ever see me wearing one while drinking my CARLSBERG beer Long live ROO
  17. Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This planet has
