yeah man thanks for the write up. i remember first coming across a ball watch ad, and wasn't too sure about getting one. after some research, and reading your post. wow. i'm sure to get one sometime.

online interactive marketer.

i feel you kitersoze. i remember first getting introduced to this wonderful hobby, by getting scammed by one of sites. at least, these idolreplica people are using similar marketing tactics, and their credible, instead of just another scammer.

Fidestro, Great point. I was thinking more from a consumer perspective. Regarding the YouTube vids, I was thinking about the watches being displayed privately. For example, some great dealers here, give you links to their Photobucket pages, but you can only access with username and password. Do you think there's a private function for YouTube to display? I wasn't exactly thinking about showing the public at large the YouTube videos, but rather creating a private video platform to ensure the quality of their product. Examples (showing that it's really sapphire crystal, highlighting AR, turning off the lights to show the lume, video closeups of markings, rehaut, crown, caseback...etc. etc.) i just personally think that high quality videos can go a long way in terms of confirming if a dealer is really as legit as the picture shows.

So I randomly wanted to do some research on some watches, and found this Youtube link to some person named SinoWatches. I did some research on this forum, and didn't really find anything new about him. See link here: http://www.youtube.com/user/sinowatches Can anyone really confirm that he's connected to any trusted dealers here? The usual suspects like Omega, Tag, Panerai, etc....I have seen better quality on RWG. But for some other brands, like Concord...I'm no expert. And those Youtube videos look kind of convincing. But then again, I don't know enough about those brands. What are your thoughts? I bring up this topic, just because, I appreciate the videos in general. Wouldn't it be cool, if some trusted dealers had YouTube videos for their products?

yes, it is rehashed stuff...but the cycle keeps on getting worse and worse.

So I tried logging in 10 minutes ago, but RWG's flood control was in effect. During that time, till now, I like to look at Dealer's websites like Josh and Andrew. What the hell? Is joshwatch.com down? it's not working. Also. Did you see those new PAM's Andrew is trying to sell for??? 428 USD???? That's DSN prices you're talking about. Is it me, or are the prices just going higher and higher......... I really really want to get a new watch right now. but I like to take my time with my watches i guess. My Skyland V2, has a gen black calfskin strap, i'd rather get my watch lumed by The Zigmeister than by a new watch right now...too bad i'm saving up for a laptop!!!!

ill let you in february!

at least it's not as much as this Rolex I found on Joshwatch. http://www.joshwatch.com/0135b-p-5203.html jeez, $888,888? can't you buy a nice house for that? p.s. but for real, what is going on here? these prices are crazy??? i concur with earlier posts, might as well buy a gen.

thanks for the heads up man. so does that mean i have to purchase another rep while i'm waiting. lol! what to do, what to do, in this wonderful world of RWG...

ha nevermind. i think The Zigmeister is pretty much the class act of the group. looking forward to posting pics!

So I'm pretty happy with Andrew's Avenger Skyland Grey Dial. But the lume really sucks. I replaced the SS band, with a genuine black calfskin strap which totally adds to the watch. i've done some research, and i don't think i'm experience enough, or too much of a noob to ask The Zigmeister to lume my dial. i have been going back and forth with Everest Watchworks, and right now he's my only option. any one else know of any good lumers? i'm based out of Los Angeles, California. Thanks! p.s. I'm going to try eurotimez the next go around. yes, i know i said i wanted a PAM or Seadweller, but that Chopard PVD Gran Turismo just floored me. i love that watch. suprisingly, only 100 pieces will be delivered to Chopard boutiques, and 15-25 pieces will be sent to our Beverly Hills location at around $9,000. i swear i thought that watch was going to be over $12,000.

yo check out this modem burner. http://www.horomundi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5354 it looks like the PVD is actually shiny here, and these are gens! once again, the case back, has the Speed Black 3 on the back, not the map.

i checked out watchstation too, but unfortunately he doesn't have any in stock. his caseback looks pretty gen too. sheesh...it's such a beautiful watch... i saw one for like 10 grand, but there's only 1000 pieces going around.

I really like Andrew's service, and the watch looks really cool, but the caseback doesn't look like the gen's i have researched. Watchstation is pretty reputable and has the gen caseback, but is no longer in stock. Paul over at PAM111 says he still has it in stock, but i'm scared of the reviews i've seen. since, then he wrote me an email saying he will do the best he can for customer service. i'm kind of stuck... TO PAUL OR NOT TO PAUL. that is the question? or should i wait out for Watchstation. or if i'm that impatient, just go ahead and pull the trigger with Andrew?
