  1. Seen that before but not for a while. Thanks for posting. Made me laugh today.
  2. They do with BCE's as well but I have never seen a rep. Do you know where I can get a rep bentley fully iced out?
  3. I'd still like to see a fully iced BCE or skyland with iced bezel, case and bracelet. They make all the Rollies and Jacobs why not a breitling?
  4. Welcome fellow Floridian. Be sure to watch out for our next GTG.
  5. 14060 no date rolex submariner. These were made without solid end links for while after the SEL was introduced.
  6. The gaytona is available from any dealer. I think the devil definately wears rolex. Maybe an iced out president or how about a Jacob & co with iced dial, case and bracelet. Very very flashy and you can pick them up for around $150.
  7. So am I the only one here who is enamored by Jim's show on shop nbc? I watch it regularly, actually believing all the bs they spew about Invicta, Swiss Legend, Renato, etc. I realy like the Invicta Akula and Swiss Legend Throttle. The Renato T-Rex is pretty sweet too. Have these watches gained high end status or is it all smoke and mirrors? The value sounds good, and shop nbc's prices are the best anywhere, but I scoffed at the thought of making a purchase from TV not very long ago. The styling of some of these watches is great and I can't change the channel, but can I really wear a quartz chronograph.................... 6 value pays really sounds tempting no matter how silly it sounds. What to do, what to do?
  8. I have and have had many blinged, iced out watches over the years. Most of them have been Rolex. I have been searching for a good replica of a more modern large case 42mm to 50mm watch for some time now. I know I am one of the few that would actually wear such a thing, but I have a strong desire for a large watch with a fully iced out case, bezel AND bracelet. I have yet to find anything besides crappy jacob & co replicas which I do not like. I wish I could find a Breitling, AP, Franck Mueller, etc fully blinged out. Can anyone help me? Do these things even exist anywhere outside of Rolex? Any information leading to a purchase will result in $20 in your paypal account............
  9. I was ready to go after 9/11. Even being overweight and out of shape was ready to put some islamic extremeists to sleep. I inquired but I was to old and too fat. Keep in mind I have always been anti war, anti government and anti viloence (for the most part ) but you step foot in my country and its on!!! I am still ready to go. Give me an m16 and the location and heads wil roll. Other than that Im realy a nice guy.........
  10. Check out timeshops dot net. He has a good selection of iced big bangs. I am considering the RG diamond case with baguette bezel myself.
  11. Looks like it takes an allen wrench.
  12. If I wear a watch for looks and use my cellphone to tell the time and my cellphone is made by my watchmaker with an automatic movement it is really a watch with a cellphone built in or is it a cellphone with a watch built in? And if my cellphone is my watch do I really need to wear a watch and how in bloddy hell will I know what time it is? This is just too confusing. I'll stick with my Samsung.
  13. I realy like the white dial with blue accents but the question is are any of these dials really accurate? I know the RB2 isn't even close.
  14. Thanks toad. I couldn't make out the dial. This is dissapointing seeing I agree that paul picot is a passing fad. Their general line of watches reminds me of shop nbc. I really like that design though.
  15. Go for the UN!!! I held the SS version of this watch at our GTG, as well as some gen UN's and I am now a huge UN fan. I have some other purchases to make first but the RG UN Maxi Marine will definatley be in my collection soon. Also this is a very high quality watch. It's build quality is as good or better than any rep I have seen.
  16. What is the point of making a ceramic watch and plating it in gold? Or is the ceramic gold colored meaning the plating will never fade? If the latter is true, this could be a revelation for gold reps.
  17. I think offshore is the true identity of the member a while back who installed a gen crystal in his submariner with a hockey puck and a vise. Good work...........
  18. Does anyone know the watch that is pictured in the header of kingshowbox? It is something I have never seen before and haven't seen a rep of it. I ould like to know. TIA.
  19. I wsh they would come out with a full gold watch that is fully wrapped in 14k like the center links of the higher end TT reps. This process with a low karat gold in the middle of a thin layer of 14k lasts forever. The color is much better than most plated models as well. I think this could be considered gold filled.
  20. This is the only Hublot that should be repped. All the others look the same, and if you are gonna do it, do it big.........
  21. This is all true and they do now have equipment to test for synthetic stones, although due to the expense, not every jeweler has this equipment. I do also want to stress the difference between moissanite and CZ. A moissanite will have imperfections just like a diamond. A CZ wll be perfect. The moissanite reflects light more like a diamond and a cz more like a prism. It is quite easy to tell a cz from a diamond with the naked trained eye at a distance even, while mossanite is much closer to the real thing. IMO, moissanite is well worth the money as long as you don't pay retail. The difference is like buying a $50 canal street rep or a 1:1 replica. Keep in mind you can also find very god deals on diamonds if you know where to look. You average quality 1ct stone that retails for $6,000 can be purcased for around $1,200 to $1,500 wholesale. If you know how to buy you can always get the real deal.
  22. I have had and still have many gold reps. The higher end ones like m masterpiece, bentley, submariner, presidents, all have held up very well. The cheaper $100 strap watches are the only ones I have seen fade even without wearing them. I do switch off my waches quite a bit, but I have an al gold Bvgari diagono quartz rep tha cost me 60 or about 9 years and it still looks brand new. I have heard of people special ordering thicker gold plating but who knows if it is even worth the extra money. The plating should last a few years at least, but remember it is still a replica and if it starts to wear, buy a new one. You may want to rder an extra bracelet just in case, as the bracelets usually wear out first.
  23. I had an 8mm 2ct equivalent moissanite in a really nice, heavy 14k setting. I got more compliments on that ring than any other I have. I spent ust under $1k for the ring and it looked just like a $15,000 ring. If you can find a good deal on ebay moissanite is well worth it. I have had certified gemoligists look at it and test it and they could't tell the difference. I even had it in the pawn shop as a real diamond and when I got it sized they assumed it was genuine. It is hard to believe you are a certified diamondologist because it sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about. Moissanites are made from carbon, the same as diamonds. They have the same chemical composition as diamonds. They have about the same hardness on the mohs scale. A few points lower would be talc. Moissanites are not perfect. The average clarity is g/h color and SI clarity. The website betterthanadiamond.com is just overpriced cubic zirconias.
  24. I think they would try to rep the freak before that watch, probably more popular althoug an accurate rep would be about impossible.
  25. The high polished stanless steel looks very close o WG or plat. No worries.
