  1. What is the deal with the datewheels @ 12 on the bentley models? Same with my 6.75, I Just couldnt live with it. Got replacement datewheels and they were off too the left 0 seems to lean to the left. Seen a few bentleys for sale and they are off as well. Is this a problem with the bentley double date models or have I just seen the bad ones? BVC.
  2. The breit is to wear, surely you just get the blonde secretary you just hired and didnt tell your wife about... to do the writing?

    I for one didnt need the pics. If The Zigmeister said no can do, then you no can do!!!
  4. they're not that nice gayboy. you shoulda got a breit like i told ya.
  5. ????? Whats the problem with wanting some fancy rep paperwork to go with my rep watch that sits in a rep box? No offense guys but I dont really see the problem. if josh sold fancy paperwork I would consider it. I appreciate there are issues with scammers but imo if your willing to part with $1000's on a watch without meeting the guy at an ad's to confirm authenticity. Then you deserve to get scammed. There, yeh I said it!!!! Just need your bank account details and sort code saaaaar. youve just won the ugandan lottery.
  6. Nice.... Is that a gen dial in the Super Avenger. Looks real white. bvc.
  7. Skinhead to my mate in a pub last week..."You f*ckin lookin at my missus mate? My mate:...........Nah just her t*ts............You wanna pick a window, c*cksucker?
  8. I agree. They are display models anyway, why not just put them them in watchwinder overnight. I hate looking at the rolex ads and not seeing the sweep on them. and btw, most staff at ads are on .

    Which way?

    I see what your sayin, thanks for your comments, I just found that a few swirls sometimes does not charge the watch enough from flat. Or I get it going and an hour later it has stopped. ps I fell in love with your 6.75. Wish I had the
  10. So from my time here, I conclude, it seems Lanikai is living my dream!!! Working out, living in paradise and amassing a huge collection of beautiful time pieces. (no doubt he has a huge john too!!) So how about it Lanikai? How about a shot of your watchbox(s)? peace and love, BVC.
  11. Hi Guys, Is it better to keep my unworn watches with the crown pulled out to keep power reserve up. So i just adjust the date and time when i wear a new one and its ready to go. (i currently do this) or should i let it rund down? and power it up when i wear it. I ask cause i went to an a/d today to try on my next purchases, big pilot and the v3 dssd asked about storage. (gave it large and said i have serveral watches and i pull out the crown to keep the reserve up)(and no i didnt wear a rep when i went in )and he went nuts. should never leave the crown open as you can damage the movement!! dust/dirt and flies!!! honest he said fly's. wtf!! so anyway any advice? peace and love, peace and love.... BVC.
  12. Anyone know if the white dial has been updated. Cant decide between the new deep sea or the white dial Super avenger! If the white is now white it gotta be the sa. BVC.
  13. Oh dear, I was about to pull the trigger on this. Are we talking a bad batch or just 1or 2 off out of the batch? If its a bad batch then I am annoyed coz by definition, doesn't that mean some unsuspecting customers are gonna get them. Shouldn't the dealer response be "Its a bad batch so I am not willing to sell them."? A 30 second qc would tell a dealer thats not acceptable. Or does the complaint ratio warrant the risk of passing on poor quality watches. Why is this cr*p accepted? BVC.

    IWC noob.

    I am still trying to work out why some things bother me and other often bigger faults dont. The crown issue wouldn't bother me, maybe its the briets but I love double ar. (Mmmmm, that sounds a little too gay for my liking!!) I think its just a good ar says quality straight away, before you even get close to a watch. Anyway, thanks again for your help.

    IWC noob.

    Hey guys. i'm a brietling boy, had a black faced super avenger glued to my wrist for months! but recently i have had my head turned by the big pilot and the portuguese chrono. I love this. http://www.jpc8118.com/00iwpg10002-portugu...ved-p-5491.html Read some reviews and looking for a little help..I can live with the datewheels issue but I have to have double ar for my first purchase. Is it just the bp that comes with double ar? and is it proper double ar? ala super avenger. Love the portuguese but the outta box ar look a bit naff. If I get hooked on IWC's I will use chief to mod, but for my noob IWC is it the bp, based on these requirements? Would appreciate your comments. Thanks. BVC.
  18. This is why rwg rocks. What more can I ask or say of Josh? Josh has just secured all my future custom. His reply to my email: Hi Brad, Proceed to send.. if the watch is stolen. i will cover. Joshua
  19. Fair comment. Though his repair guy must be blind coz the watch came with severely misaligned subdials. I sent it back. It was fixed and sent back to me with misaligned subdials and misaligned datewheels and a loose crown. I sent it back. It was fixed and sent back with misaligned datewheels, a loose crown and a worn away print on the face!!! Which is why I asked for a refund, Josh to his credit has agreed to give that refund, so fair play to the guy. Just I was so pre occupied with getting my money or a new watch back, I forgot about the customs issue.. Another point is this. I entrusted him on my 1st order with over $1000. It would have been nice if that trust was extended to me now I want a new watch or refund. I think Josh is pretty p*ssed with me coz he has offered a refund and not a replacement watch. Obviously the latter would have been cheaper for him. (Mind you not if it gets lost/stolen) So I think he wants shot of me. I actually love his website, his stock, his email response rate and his payment facilities If someone could just look at the bl**dy watches before they go out I would spend the kids inheritence with him. Anyhoo ive emailed him about my customs concerns, I will keep those of you who are interested posted. Thanks for your advice guys. Its really appreciated. BVC.
  20. Thanks The Zigmeister. I appreciate your comments. Teejay I totally agree with you I paid my money
  21. Thanks guys, I think I am asking for trouble. Thing is Josh gives the "trust" line and that he has been ripped off loads by customers, so he cant just refund stuff without the watch in his hand. But something just says i am being a mug. havent got a leg to stand on. josh wants the watch first. I want the refund first. Stalemate. (In josh's favour coz the watch is shot) This time the brietling text on the face of the watch is worn away on the "B" it reads Rreitling for bentley. wont it need a whole new fitted movement and face to be fitted. Anyway its been back twice for repairs to the face. If Josh cant do it I dont think I could. http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo341/b...pics/675031.jpg I thought about sending it to someone josh trusted in england, they can confirm they have the watch, then josh can refund me. But I think that could be taken the wrong way by josh. Thanks BVC.
  22. Ok....My 6.75 Brietling for Bentley is going back to Josh for the third time in 3 months. Its had 2 failed repairs and as a result Josh has graciously offered to refund me if I send it back to him. Now forgive me but I am just not comfortable. I am paranoid at the best of times and feel this time round it would be very convenient if it got lost or stolen on the way. Not implying Josh is dodgy, Its just that I am not the luckiest guy in the world and it would be typical if it got lost and Josh washed his hands of it. Josh has said "send it back and I will refund" but 3rd time around, am I tempting fate? Not being funny but I dont wanna deal with the whole "package not recieved you better speak to customs" scenario. Any ideas? Dont wanna lose $380 Just thinking about it I've really answered my own question. Either way I am b*ggered. I've got a worthless watch. (Cant wear it coz of the state of it, and I respect you guys to much to try and palm it off) So I suppose I have already lost my $. How's that for positivity!!!! Oh Well any ideas or encouragement would be appreciated. BVC.
  23. I've Just taken a dump.....Could someone come and wipe my ar*e for me please.
