  1. Depends what your looking for. If you want the good, search for shultz. If you want the bad search my posts. If you want the ugly, I am sure you will find something in the looney bin.
  2. No offense but if your that hard up that you have to sell a rep watch, should you be walking around with it on your wrist? I thought we only wore watches we could theoretically pull off? No point wearing a 10k Watch with no road tax on your motor?
  3. You gotta choose a good quality tie in the first place. Your fighting a losing battle if you start with a long tampax wrapped in so called "silk". Also make sure your tie is long enough in the first place (pre knot) Nothing worse than a 6 inch gap between the end of your tie and your belt! A good quality, very thick, raw silk tie, on a pristine quality white shirt, with polished black shoes is your best bet imo. If you get that right the rest will take care of itself. p.s 2 button single breast every time. Pure class.
  4. Gonna try and apply this advice in my own life. True words of wisdom. In the real world, I know its the only way forward. BVC.
  5. If I had found you guys 10 years ago I would have gladly offered my services, sadly though, with a wife, 3 little boys and a stint at "hmp" I am trying to mend my ways and show the boys a better life. Dont get me wrong, bring it to me and someone is going down but i have come to realize you cant take out every idiot in life. However this guy needs dealing with imo. I think a very private, very quiet, very serious word would be in order. On a softer note. Why not hire the comedy boxing ring and gloves at the reception, invite him to "play" and just "accidently" knock his teeth out? BVC.
  6. My personal favorite would be to put a paper bag full of the brown stuff on his doormat. Put a match to it, Ring the doorbell and run. He comes out and stamps out the fire ...............He has a shoe covered in poo poo, you get your gratis. Or you could have done with it and just lay him out. It never ceases to amaze me the effect a good crack on the jaw can have. BVC.
  7. Personally I would just post him a turd.
  8. If I was the person I was 20 years ago I would have burned down my inlaws house with them inside it, without a second thought. Trust me mate, its your wife that matters. I learned an important lesson from a very together friend several years ago. For someone to mess with your head they need one thing................................Your permission! Drop this bum and take the highground. He is nothing to you.
  9. Revelation 18:1-5. The answers come to your door on a regular basis. Just listen....
  10. I have a 6.75 bentley needs double ar. Its with josh a the mo getting repaired.would be ready jan, and probably another by then. I dont have a clue how to remove the chrystal. suppose we would have to do that?. And I just thought, what if chrystal has a single ar? i.e my bentley. would they remove the single ar and start over like chief? or just coat the other side? Never understood ar fully. just know it looks awesome when its done. does single ar mean its just on one side thats coated or does it mean the strength of the coating is weaker. as in double ar is 2 coats so to speak. sorry if that sounds pathetic. bvc.
  11. wahey. Can you reply to emails and turn around your jobs in less than a couple of months?
  12. c'mon man just sent my bentley back to josh today, didnt want to hear that what dealers are willing to replace watches that go missing on the way back to china. outgoing yeah... but incoming?
  13. Yep im thinking about the very same thing. it looks like either dial removal for my super avenger and send it to u.s. or buy a gen dial. they are goin for about $250. How much for a relume in u.s? Cheap enough to warrant the time and effort?

    No 1: I have owned a gen breit gt No 2: I have made several visits to my local ad. Went round my mates house tonight and he has a gen sosf. Seen it several times and it looks nice. Now, he thinks my 6.75 is a gen (I know, he's not that good a mate) He is the same kind of gen owner i was when i had
  15. Hey guys, Sending my 6.75 back to josh tomoz, re dodgy subdial postion. However when the crown is pulled out fully it feels quite loose. Is this worth mentioning to josh? I have given him a bit of grief and he has agreed to fix for the 2nd time. So I dont want to bring it up if its not a big problem, I would have thought it should feel tight and secure is it a 6.75 thing or is it an issue? would appreciate your thoughts. thanks bvc.
  16. Normally you would get a good slappin for not "searching" for the answer. However I love the bentley and although having a very limited knowledge regarding the rep game, I thought I would give you your answer. From my experience this is one of a couple of freebies you will be entitled to as a fellow newbie. Second hand sweeps on the subdial, Large second hand sweep when chrono is in use. BVC.

    Hi mate your pm box is full. bvc.
  18. mmm! if you had heard my ex watchsmith you would believe chinese 7750's are the work of the devil. Not sure if they can be called clones of the swiss eta. he said the quality was nowhere near what the gen 7750 is. he said "very cheap copy, rough, inferior parts, nasty to work with, not worth servicing or fixing cause they are only 30 or 40 quid if you know where to find them" he charges 20 quid an hour for his work. said there is no point in wasting my money servicing or fixing them. as a result I thought i would ask josh if he could sell me a couple of movements in case i need them. sadly they are "strictly not for sale" tried searching but couldn't find what movement is used in the 6.75 or if i can buy them anywhere. i am happy with my "chinese clone" especially taking into consideration the price of the gen 7750, so dont shoot the messenger its just a lot more difficult than I though it would be to find a watchsmith that will work on the clone. the first two said no problem when i rang and said i have a 7750 that needs work, then when they saw it was chinese they booted me out the door!!!! brad.
  19. Hey buddy. I live in the country, fields, cows and pigs as far as you can see. 1 hour from the chunnel. come on over, make sure you bring your watches and tools.

    6.75 Chrono

    Ok buddy. Its wierd i found two watchsmiths who were happy to work on fakes, when i called them. then when they see the watch they seem to change their minds. do you think they are p*ssed at the quality or maybe my breath just stinks. the last guy, informed me he was not a watchsmith but a horologist. said over the phone changing datewheels wouldnt be a problem then when he sees it says its to risky coz of the hands having to be removed!!!!!!!
