  1. Go the Discovery. It's down to 'round $280 now so it's not quite such a big ask anymore. As for the BTR , I'd wait for the new correct dial spaceing model to come out. Buy the Disco for now and wait. Col.
  2. It should be ok but I would definiatly have it tested first and at least yearly. Gaaah! The gen on the bay went for $1499! There is another HERE current bid $510. You would have to be VERY carefull buying one of these from the bay as the rep is so good. Full papers and box would be a must. Col.
  3. No, different guy entirly. A7750.com tony can be found at RWG1.1 now and again. There are several reviews of his watches and comments over there. Search for "A7750.com" should round up most of them. If anyone has probs we have his phone number in our admin files. Col.
  4. Don't know this watch but would not the screw heads line up on the face of the gen? Col.
  5. LOL, you wanna get lynched? There's prob not a quicker way in OZ than to call Holden a Ford company! The full name now days is General Moters Holden or GMH for short. The Holden Motor Company produced the first wholey Aussie car with the 48-215 in 1948 and is the sworn enemy of Ford fans in OZ. And visa versa of cause. Aussie motor sport revolves around the Holden vs Ford battle that has raged ever since. And yes, DRB make a nice car. Some of the best Cobra reps out there actualy. I once drove a gen 427 Cobra and it frightened me. About a ton in weight and 500+ HP with masive understeer if pushed hard. Great fun but scary. That and the fact that even then (15 years ago) it was worth a half mill or so. It's an awsome beast but there are far better road cars. The reps tend to be a tad more user friendly however. Col.
  6. Great idea. This should have been done ages ago. May I submit the Discovery and the Timewalker for inclusion? Col.
  7. Yep, if you remember I was one of the few. I think I held the high post count to the end. Col.
  8. Oh no! Not again . . . This is begining to be a bit of a habit. Yep, I'd say one of the newbs from one of the fora. Trusty's gunna love that, not! Interesting to see how little they know about the current state of reps tho. Col.
  9. IMO, most of the truly bad english is from folk for whome it is a first language. To truly foul up a language you have to know it backwards apperantly. Most of you EU guys amaze me with your english skills especialy since it's such a bugger of a language to learn. Col.
  10. That's what I thought when I saw this. It amazes me that such a large casino didn't use RFID in their chips. After all there are only a handfull of casinos in OZ. Seven or so I think, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Townsville, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart and Perth. Col.
  11. LOL, the care factor is apperantly zero Col.
  12. Hi ya mate. Welcome abord the good ship RWG. Col.
  13. RWS appears to be no more. The domain is parked and is infested with adds from scam sites. http://anonym.to/?http://www.replica-watch-scams.com/ Screenie: JohnG How ironic. Regards, Col.
  14. Great idea lads. Now, if only I owned a digi camera capable of focusing closer than three feet! I may have to fire up the 35mm for this one. Col.
  15. Nice find, very usefull clear pics. 8K Euro! OMG! Col.
  16. Interesting idea. Seems sound to me as long as you have some kind of crystal catcher set up. Col.
  17. Yep, good tools are a investment for life and Bergeon are the Snap-On of watchmaking. You think watchmaking is expensive? Try motor mechanics. My set of tools (mostly Snap-On) would be the bare minimum for a working mechanic and owes me something on the far side of thirty grand! Yep, and I suspect that I'm still useing that very same hand lifter. It works again BTW Offshore, I fixed the bent bow spring and it pushes evenly again. Jody: You could do with a hank of Rodico too mate. It's proberly the single most usefull substance in watchmaking from holding hands to removing marks from dials and dust from MVTs. Some watchmakers paper wpuld also be nice. Used for wraping or protecting parts (storeing dials, hands etc) it leaves no lint behind. Appart from that and a small pair of nedle nosed pliers, a very small hammer and a bench vice you have it covered. Buying some very small ziplock plastic bags would be a good idea too. Take good note of the chapter on you work area, Clean and clear is the way to go. Fortunatly I have a tiled room to work in as carpet is a great black hole for small parts that will invitably spring from your grasp. Most importantly, have fun! Col.
  18. Yep, waiting patiantly here. Of cause it failed a water test, it's a speedy rep. They are knowen as water magnets, no screw down pushers see. I'm surprised it ever passed and that Ruby even trys. Col.
  19. Well, at least you accept your illness. It gets worse, trust me. Oh, and there's no known cure either. Welcome and enjoy. Regards, Col.
  20. Nice find. He does lovely work. 8-10 mths is nothing. He just closed his knife orderlist beacuse the wait time was out to 36mths! Yep, he's good. Col.
  21. Wow, realy nice work! That is one stunning VC. I think I want one. Col.
  22. Oh do shut up! We're jelous allready! Seriously man, what a buy! Funny half Pirelli logo however. Never seen the "P" without the rest of the name below it. Col.
  23. Any of the Rolex Day Date or Date justs will be fine or maybe a MB Timewalker, a Graham or my favorite of the super reps the Ebel Discovery. Timewalker. Ebel. This is the "panda" version. It also comes in black on black. The gen now comes in colours so hopefully so will the rep soon. These are perfect but for chrono pushers a half mm too long. The De Witt Academia is damn close as well. Or go for something that no one will recognise even if it isn't that close to the real thing such as this $125 Patek. If you have 500 odd to blow and want a dress watch I can recomend Homer's tourby. No one can call you out on this, it's a gen! The tourbilion will make it the talking point of any party and "everyone" knows tourbys are horribily expensive so asume it's a ten to one hundred grand watch. This one however may get called every now and again. Regards, Col.
  24. Gioarmani: How much more specific do you need? Those are part numbers for Chinese MVTs and the question appears clear to me. What2: Yes, hand sizes are the same between those two. The standered hand sizes for these should be 152/100/17. Gen hands, however will not fit. The dial should fit either MVT with no trouble. Not shure but the MVT holder should be indentical as well. Regards, Col.
  25. Thre hundred bucks? Great buy mate and a beaut watch as well. Yep, it would have been a damn shame to plunder that for the MVT. Glad you saved it. Col.
