Sorry about the quality of the picture, but can anyone tell me what make/model this watch is. I think it is a breitling but I can't figure out the model. Figured I would "ask the experts." Thanks folks, Mike

The more the merrier. I will let you know as well. Mike

These watches must not be good timekeepers... not one of them shows the same time as another. a joke of course Mike

I am in that area as well. The only indoor range that I know of that allows select fire weapons is Ft. Laud up on 441. I will throw you a pm next time I get a chance to hit the lanes. Mike

They already make them. Real reps (POF, SW, Bobcat, etc.) Fake reps are made by companies like Airsoft. As for why to own an MP5... because I can... and because my agency gives me one. Mike

I don't know... I'm pretty expensive. Mike

So anyone looking to shoot or what? Mike

Who down here (Ft. Laud area) shoots on a regular basis? I could always use range buddies. Mike

Issued gun... but it is still always nice to meet another HK fan. Mike

954 who works in the 305 here. Mike

He is going to have issues with his sponsor whatever watch he is wearing. My guess would be that he has a clause in his contract pertaining to appearances of impropriety or something like that. Again, this is only a guess, but I would bet that Omega is already in the process of "re-negotiating" his contract. Mike

Anyone who has Bill Hicks as an avatar is good people in my book too. by the bye that quote is taken from the USMC "rules of gunfighting". Give it a google if you are so inclined. Mike

I am also very new here, I think this is my third post. I bought a UPO from Eurotimez a few months ago. My experience with them has been good so far. The watch doesn't keep really good time but Chris (Eurotimez) told me to time it for a while and get back to him. Euro always answered questions quickly and delivered in the time stated. I have heard great things about BK for Rolex reps, and if I get into the submariner buying mindset I will pick up one of his $530 1:1 reps. Basically anyone in the collectors section on this forum seems to be on the up-and-up. Good luck and welcome... also, anyone who uses a firearm for an avatar is good people in my book. Mike

A chronograph is esentially a stop watch... but analog. The subdials count off seconds, minutes, and hours. Yours probably will just sit and do nothing. But you would be suprised how many watches are worn with "fake" chronos. People just seem to like the look of the subdials, but don't care if they work or not. Mike

Alright, I timed the watch... sitting on my nightstand it keeps perfect time. Once the watch is on my wrist it gains about 10 minutes a day. I already sent it back to Chris once, and although it is much better now (gaining 30 minutes a day), it is still not great. I think I am going to just bite the bullet and search around for a local repair shop that can fix it (as opposed to sending it away for another 7 weeks.) Unless anyone has any suggestions *it is important to note that I have no watch repair skill, and when it comes to small mechanical parts I am about as useful as a houseplant with a chainsaw* Mike

Well, as the title says "first post: bought a UPO." First off, thanks to all of the RWG information, and the folks on this board who are so knowledgeable that is would make me question their sanity. Second, the purchasing process... After banging around the boards for a couple of months I bought the Stainless UPO w/ white numbering from Chris at EuroTimez. Chris always answered emails and questions quickly. I paid a touch more for the watch, but the QC sold me on EuroTimez. Lastly, the watch... this is where it gets a bit interesting. The watch arrived in the expected time. The pearl is off center, but not enough to bother me (I will try to post pictures a bit later.) I wore the watch for about 6 hours before I noticed something... I noticed the watch was 5 minutes fast. I reset the watch and thought that it was my imagination. Later in the night I noticed the watch was ahead again. This time I reset it to the U.S. official time from www.time.gov and went to bed. 8 hours later I checked the time again and it was over 8 minutes fast. I was gaining over 62 seconds per hour. I contacted Chris at EuroTimez and he said the they don't QC timing, but that this was too much to be excepted. He told me to send it back to him and he would service/time the watch. A little less than 2 months have gone by, and today that mail-lady brought me a little package of joy. I sat on my couch for about 5 minutes slowly swirling it in my hand, and looking at it like a lost puppy that had returned home. I set it to the U.S. Official time, and will check it again in the morning. I will be sure to update on the timing. Anyway, long story short. Chris at EuroTimez gets a "thumbs up" from me. I will do business with him again (probably on a new purse for the wife *when the new EuroTimez website is up*). RWG gets a huge thumbs up for being a wealth of information and knowledge. Thanks all, and now that I have the hard to cure "rep-bug" burrowing under my skin... I have already started looking at an Explorer II. Mike
