  1. Yes, I came to the rep world because I couldn't afford at the time a Monaco, I bought the rep from TTK and maybe a year after I bought the gen monaco.

    I perhpaps bought 3-5 reps since last year and selling them one after one during that time and reduced my rep collection to 4 watches...that I will now probably keep

    I now think more and more moving to genuines again or custom made watches if possible. I stated to my GF that I was done with the replica now but a few are still appealing to me that I'd like to get before retiring.

  2. Yes, I'm really impressed at how you took that idea into a project into a prototype, you never gave up rockett!! I must thank you for that because if I launched the idea, I was far from being diligent enough to take it to even a bigger idea, lol...

    Many thanks,

    BTW I will need another santos 100 as I just ordered a 7753 this week

  3. Guys,

    I believe I'm faded with out of the box watches and would like to improve uncommon replicas to have something different and substantial:

    My first project would be of getting an auto 2824 easy diver watch from any of our reputable dealer, I like the watch but I can't bear the plain 2824 inside, so I'm looking for a skeletonized 2824 to fit inside...

    Does anyone have a source for it?

    I wouls also like to replace the carbon fiber lugs and screws, strap. and of course work the case and deployant to give them a good shine and AR the front and back crystals.

    I simply love this dial

    And a RD movement, not the same as in SAW though:

    and I found a firm in HK making skeleton 2824 but I believe they only sell to pros or at least a certain amount of movements:

    This 2824 skeletonized looks damn good and will be perfect for my project tough <_<

    Any help is welcome

    Many thanks ;)

  4. A group buy to get a watch at the price it was before? Ironic... 660 was more than the price of most ceramic/SS a few weeks ago.

    I'd be interested however but not at 660 except if the HBB comes with a swiss 7750, is it?

    Who you are talking with for this group buy?

    450-500 shipped seems reasonable given the price of the ceramic models and probably would allow S&H and profits to all the chain from maker to dealer?

  5. @TomRiddle what makes you think that a quote that you received would be the same as Halley's?

    Halley is an old and respected member and has an involvement with these boards that predates my own, there is not the slightest doubt in my mind that he was quoted $600 and that if he followed through with the deal it would have been honored.

    In fact I would be very surprised if the offer was raised even if he was to approach King now.

    Ken

    What Ken wrote is probably right appart that I'm probably not as involved as I was in the past, shame on me for letting down my passion for so long, so I do not deserve any respect here, I'm still a noob in a lot of ways...

    I'm pretty sure King would have honored the deal at 600$ if I followed, in fact I've dealt wih him/her more than a few times...and always been more than accomodating even when I changed order during process for a cheaper watch....AFTER payment!!

    Still I'm pretty sure that the 200$ mark up is not justified from the SS versions... nothing but the Gold plating is added to the SS/ceramic HBB and if you compare the price of other SS rep and their RG counterparts, you never see a 200 difference...

  6. I was quoted 600 shipped from King a couple of weeks back be interested to know why there is a 200 usd margin from other dealers or if King aligned to the upper price witch would be totally unethical....

    600 is a hell lot... 800 is stupid for an asian.

    Swiss 7753 watches are cheaper!!!

    But again you have to remember that the USD is at a all time low and every seller labelling it's price in USD is revising them to compensate for the lowering currency. Too bad for US buyers... but for us outiside US we can buy more products labelled in USD...for cheaper..

    For exemple I paid my Monaco 1990 USD in dec. 2005 and it is now priced 2720! But In Euros there is only a 300
