  1. For this to work the print would have to be in the exact same spot 3 times or more. There is not any printer available that could do it. There is no room for error since the print is so small. You would end up with a blurred fat type even if it came close. The only way to do this is to silk screen the dial with proper ink.
  2. Sounds like you are a lucky man with a woman who appreciates watches. Don't forget to buy her one or four. It will pull her even deeper into the hobby. Please don't shoot her. Sounds like a nice girl. There are other ways to articulate a new purchase. Ie; "buy the watch, send the money, make the purchase" Please stop with the trigger pulling. Nails on a chalkboard.
  3. Why be scared of customs? The dealer holds responsibility for customs seizure in most cases. Make sure whoever you order from will replace the shipment if it gets confiscated. I have bought over 100 watches in the last four years. The only time I had something seized it was leaving Taiwan. It didn't even make it to the US.
  4. I have an Ingy chrono. Great heavy watch. It is on heavy rotation and regularly gets wrist time over my Rollies. The two watches are very different watches however. I personally wouldn't wear the XV. If I were to wear an IWC strap model I would opt for the portuguese or fa jones.
  5. Packages that come from other countries still go through customs. Does customs only pay special attention to packages from china? I have bought several very high end reps from Germany and the seller always used fedex express service. 3 day delivery and no customs issues.
  6. It would be really nice in rose gold. Anyone know the size?
  7. Little miss muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey along came a spider sat down beside her and said "hey, what's in the bowl [censored]?"
  8. I haven't bought the full gold sub but I have a gold prez from EL and I can tell you that his supplier has some of the best gold plating I have seen. I'm sure you will be happy.
  9. Ingy Chrono today.
  10. You beat me to it.
  11. That is a creative way to ask "who has the best sub" if I ever saw one. The good news is you don't have to spend $400. Buy a noobmariner for around $100. These are great value and you have enough money left over for a high end rep like a Breitling Chronomat. BTW, Use the search button to find wha you are looking for.
  12. I wear my black Persol's with silver accents with A Panerai. Gold and wood Cartier with blinged gold rollies, Versace's with TT daytonas. Glasses are a great accessory. The persol's are actually my new favorite. I added polarized prescription lenses, although I think they come with polarized lenses to begin with. Polarized lenses make a huge difference. No glare at all.
  13. I thought this was extremely funny but no P.C. If it is innapropriate or offensive to anyone let me know and I will remove it. South Park
  14. They are lillies and I saw her walking around with a ltter opener.
  15. US customs at cruise ports is very relaxed. I have been on several cruises. I have brought back Cuban Cigars and a nice collection of watches and handbags. I usually wear a brightly colored Hawaiin shirt on the way back and while everyone is waiting in line at customs I put a big stupid grin on my face and walk past the line like I don't even know why it's there. Usually the customs guy says "hey you." And I say "yeah". "Where's your green slip?" I give it to him and he waves me on. This has worked three times already. No waiting in line and no search worries. It also helps to have only one medium size suitcase, not a whole set of luggage.
  16. Yes phoband I think that topped my story. That is definately sitcom material. I have been in upper level management since I was 25. What is the point of being young and successful if you can't use it to get some? As far as the lawsuit thing goes, every office relationship I have had has been initiated by the girl, NOT me. Not that i'm some don juan or anything it has just worked out that way. I'm not some kind of rude [censored] that goes around slapping secretary asses. Haven't you ever heard the phrase all the cheerleaders want to sleep with the quarterback?
  17. I saw this while browsing King's website and didn't even know that cartier made a vracelet for the Santos 100. I sold my last Santos becaus I hate leather bands and I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it. It looks very accurate. I am surprised we haven't heard anything about this model. Has anyone seen this with the correct clasp? It should be a gold insert with silver screws on the clasp. replica Genuine
  18. I would buy one of those Replicas as well. Those light up watches would have been good about 12 to 13 years ago when I was into the rave scene. Couple of rolls a girl and one of those watches on each arm is great entertainment.
  19. Which one? J/K I have never been married. Yes............ I think the saying is don't [censored] where you eat............. I did have one very meaningful 1.5 year relationship with my assistant a couple years ago. You see eachother every day, I'm the boss, the shiny bling watches casting a glimmer in her eye (I have learned that women are quite mezmerized by shiny objects. That is why the English call them "birds").....................Something is bound to happen.
  20. I think servicing movements is a bunch of bull. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I had a 20 year old rolex president never serviced and kept great time. I also had a 1950's rolex precision serviced once kept great time. I have 23 watches several are over 5 years old never serviced, keep good time. I read an article once where a guy had a pickup truck with 300,000 miles on it and never changed the oil. He just added a quart here and there and his truck ran like new. There is a lot of skepticism about the every 3000 miles thing. Basically marketing for the oil companies. I smell conspiracy. Of course I do change the oil in my car every 3,000 miles. That is one conspiracy theory I don't want to test. Besides it's a fun ritual, part of taking care of your pride and joy. I don't think I wold ever pay $200 to get a $200 watch serviced. It doesn't make any sense. If a genuine Rolex starts gaining or losing, I would then have it serviced.
  21. I run a medium sized call center with about 30 sales people. Last night I go out with this girl I met last week we had a good time yadda yadda................. This afternoon I get a vase of flowers with a nice little note. Well of course everyone in the office is nosy as hell asking questions. Plus the owner is busting my balls, kind of embarrasing. The worst part is, my secretary had to sign for them.................................... I have been dating my secretary for about 2 months. Oops. Now I am sitting in my office with the door shut trying to be very quiet. I have been hinting to her I wanted to break it off anyway, so I guess this is a good thing. I have 5 more hours here with her. Have to think of something good.
  22. What do they mean when they say: Does IWC own VC and Cartier or does Cartier own VC? This is all news to me.
  23. I very rarely see reps anywhere in south florida anymore. About three years ago I thought I had hit the jackpot. I was at a flea market in lake worth and saw an asian guy standing in front of about 5 6 foot long tables covered with watches. As I walked by I had to do a double take. There must have been 500 watches from seiko to Rolex. I bought several from him one being an automatic vintage Seiko replica for $30.00. After two weeks he was gone. I would venture to guess he got busted. It is fun to run into this once in a while and pick up a souvenier just for kicks.
  24. Looks like they took styling cues from not only Hublot, but Audemars and Bvlgari as well. 3 reps in one watch. Chas Durer is the replica king. This brand started to gain popularity for a while with some really great automatic chrono pilots watches at good prices. Now a quartz with a display back. Looks like its downhill from here.
  25. These type of things getting posted on TZ are quite hypocritical. The term homage is just a rouse the so called purists use to help them sleep at night. At least we have enough balls to say yeah I wear fake watches, what of it?
