  1. Sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers. Guy sounds like a scammer. Tell him to fix it or you are not paying then report him to ebay.
  2. How about Dutch Masters and Philly blunts? J/K. I like Arturo Fuente, Partagas, Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta, Davidoff. I would venture to guess that most people aren't regular cigar smokers and wouldn't know the difference. I would suggest an assortment of mild cigars. This will be easiest for most people to smoke. I like Arturo Fuente 858 because of the smaller size. They don't burn as long as a churchill although a mixture of sizes including churchill and torpeos would be good so people can choose what they feel comfortable with. A cigar to me is a very personal choice so you won't be able to please everybody but also keep in mind many people will be smoking just for the occasion so be sure to get mid smokes everyone can enjoy. I'm sure any salesman at a respectabvle smoke shop can help you decide.
  3. Not bad looking. They should make a polished oyster style bracelet for this watch.
  4. That watch is not worth $579. It is most likely the same watch you can buy from our dealers for around $200. I have bought several from Andrew and the plating has always been very good and has never faded. Wrapped is just a made up term in the industry although some watches can have thicker plating. I also reccomend King or Ruby. Either can find you what you want.
  5. There are several watches I really want right now and have been obsessing over lately: GMT II, Concord C1, and RG Ceramic HBB. I have to wait on all due to finances. I am working on my girlfriend hinting about my birthday in September. She told me last year she wouldn't buy me a shirt, a watch or a pair of shoes because I have so many already. Out of the blue she brought me home 2 Nat Nast's from Costco of all places.. Seeig that I have more shirts than watches a new watch may be closer than I think.... Actually a $5 digital does the same thing as the noobmariner so why doesn't everyone just wear $5 digitals?
  6. King has a cheap version of the C1 and also several Romaine Jeromes ie; Titanic DNA watch. One thing they could not replicate is the rust on the bezel. I think they look better this way...
  7. I would venture to speculate (and hope) that we will see some of the new Rolex models that were released at Basel replicated very well. I hope to see the larger day dates as well as the new submariner. I am not sure if the factories will ever buy one of these for a 1:1 replication because of the cost factor, but with the recent improvements in quality I think they should get pretty close. As far as the submariner goes, this is a fairly mundane watch that I am tired of looking at. I only have one two tone sub in my collection that I have kept and it is about 5 years old. I like the new styling they showed at Basel with the bigger case and ceramic bezel. I hope the makers have plans for these.
  8. The biggest thing about this movement from my understanding is that is functions the same way as the genuine GMT. It has something to do with the setting of the GMT hand and hour hand as well as the date. For me I would like to have a replica that functions like the original just for me, not to impress or fool anyone else. I'm sure that is the reasoning behind most collectors here.
  9. Here's mine......
  10. I have been waiting for this one. I will buy one in SS and RG when it is available!!!
  11. I have two of the two tone daytonas from paul that say solid 14k. I acid tested them and proved to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10k to 12k. I wouldn't purchase any two tone day date as there are no genuine two tone day dates. The only one that would come close is the old tri-dor which is actually 3 tone.
  12. I have both these watches only my double eagle is the two tone version from paul with supposed solid gold. I can tell you that the links appear to be solid gold and I have had the watch for several years without any fading. I do believe this one is the same size as the gen somewhere around 40mm. It does wear as large or even larger than the VCO because it is thicker. I can tell you I like the styling of them both equally but the Omega gets more wrist time. This is only due to the problems with the VCO bracelet. I am afraid to wear it regularly because the screws always seem to loosen. I have lost one already and thankfully I had an extra link from when it was sized originally. I did ruin one screw in the sizing. It wouldn't screw in all the way so I filed it down with a dremel. This scuffed the edge a bit. Overall I would reccomend the Double eagle over the VCO.
  13. Or for less than $150 everyone can have their own rep of this watch...............
  14. I learned on my own. Read Super System front to back, played with play chips on stars, lost $50k of real money and then one ay it clicked. If you really want to be a full time pro you need a bankroll. I have been on plenty of ups and downs and plenty of long runs good and bad. I have had weeks where I was up $25k online and down $10k the next. No matter how good you are running you will run bad sooner or later.
  15. I paid about $2,200 for a solid 14k gold Rolex president rep several years ago. Now they are upwards of $4k. I ended up selling it for a mere $1,500. Wish I still had it. On the upside several months later I picked up a gen day date for $3,800 and sold that one for $6,000. Wish I still had that one too. How I miss some of my watches.
  16. Ummm, I hope you didn't practice this on one of your gens..................
  17. A nice closeup of this dial mounted in a gilt frame encrusted with swarovski crystals would look nice above my sofa. No really, I would buy it.
  18. Yes the dial is more important than the back of the watch.
  19. Tough to make a living at 1-2. 5-10nl or 2-5nl game at caesar's or Wynn is very good. many a drunk tourist willing to pay your rent. 1-2 game here in south florida is exactly the opposite. People are playing NL like it's $2 limit. The worst play I have ever seen in my life. Yes theat is a good game, however the 2-5NL is tighter thatn your 1-2. I couldn't get anywhere in that game. Caesar's is the best poker room in Vegas IMO.
  20. The FA Jones is pretty accurate as is the pilot chrono.
  21. Very good point. The pictures on my 22" screen are much larger than the actual 44mm watch. The flaws are magnified 5 or 10 X. I think this will be very nice in person. I gotta pull some money out of my pokerstars account and buy some watches!!!
  22. I think the watch is very nice looking, but yes the price is a bit high. You can get a pretty good SS sub with swiss ETA for around $200. I don't see $188 worth of extras on this one. The sad part is that the two cartel buddies will probably have a lock on this for a while. Maybe in 3 months we will also see another super duper improved version.
  23. The black is probable either dirt or oil used to lube the links. I don't think the rep factories lubricate the links so my guess is dirt. All of my watches pick up some kind of dirt between the links. Use soap and water and a toothbrush to get in the crevaces.
