  1. I like the silver dial better and site with the honorable member claiming the back is the far the better part on this one g.
  2. I guess this is the one we have been waiting for....a reasonable Portuguese.....wonder what rya thinks of it Regards Gran (presently in Brisbane, Australia)
  3. Oliver is the only one who really knows exactly how to deal with those newbies. He was a natural born genious at it. Where is master Bricky?
  4. You can do much better than that Clive (BTW greeting from dlgates to you). What could possibly be worse than the simple and obvious name "Wal-Mart Wine"? Now what colour it would be....maroon
  5. BTW he did take a very good look at the Jones on my wrist Reading this thread it seems the 99.99999999999999% Jones rep needs to be greatly improved? I guess it could be slightly improved but will this ever happen?........forget it. What we need more than anything is a beleivable replica of the The IWC Portuguese g.
  6. crasy acrylic dreams...I like this thread but its just crasy The acrylic is not the important change here at all IMHO. I would say that if someone could put the chime into that "repeater" replica so it becomes a real repeater now that would be an improvement truly worth waiting for g. (back from the gran tour of North America...greetings from Dave)
  7. You guys are correct..obviously the genuine is of much better quality...still he apparently beleived it was genuine until I told him it was not so
  8. The IWC Portuguese I was on the airport in Toronto going to Houston on the 4th of August and i met the watch collector Georges Mijares (Director of Gabriel Resources Ltd Toronto). Washing my hands in the washroom I got a glimpse of his gold IWC Portuguese Chrono-Automatic-3714.02 Watch (a watch that can cost up to $10,000 new). I said “that’s a nice watch you got there” he said yes "thank you" and spotted my IWC Jones and strongly complimented me on it and how nice it is. He said he was a watch collector and so did I and even after he had looked at my Jones he did not realize it was a replica. Georges even said that he had looked at the Jones in Amsterdam and had almost decided to buy it. Then he asked "can I ask how much you paid for your Jones". At that point I felt that I hade to tell him that it was a replica.....and when he then realized I was wearing a fake he was surprised but not too upset…still we parted as friends and he gave me his business card so we could have further contact (should I?). Regards Gran the Collector :smile: BTW I bought my last eddition IWC Jones with decorated movement and blued hands form Eddie Lee

  15. Hi Friends! I am now on my tour of North America. My tour is part vacation part business. I am presently in Quebec and will be taking the train (1st class obviously) to Toronto in the morning thursday the 3rd and will be in downtown Toronto in the afternoon. I have not been to the City of Toronto previously and I would be delighted if one of the members could show me the city that very evening as I will be leaving Toronto on friday. PM me if you would like to help me (Gran) around the bars of Toronto (or what else of interest there may be.........I like girls). Last week I visited Dave (dlgates) in Texas. Dave is a fantastic fellow and I got to see his entire watch collection, his house, the Jaguar and not least his favorite waterhole. I must say I was impressed by the amount of single malt dave can drink and still safely drive his feline car home. Is I said i am presently in Quenbec city and will be looking around the old city this evening. So far I Have visited some collaborators at the University of Laval but what i have seen of the city and the people so far is very favorable. The girls and women look great here in Quebec, people seem relaxed and less serious than other Canadian places I have visited. Only sad things s that the watches I have seen here are real cheap...seems like the high end watches are sadly lacking here. Any RWG members from this Quebec? Best regards Gunnar Gran (Do send me a PM.....)
  16. I enjoy all complications.....but basically the only function that I demand from a watch is that it is able to tell time (fairly accurately)...
  17. Its a Chinese made Sea-Gull ST-2800 movement Read this link on Sea-Gull movements: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...amp;hl=sea-gull http://img436.imageshack.us/img436/6265/gr...calibers7lt.jpg
