    Thanks I won't be keeping the 5513. Will be up for sale once I get enough posts. I didn't want to invest in a new dial after building up the 5517 so I'm just gonna let it go. My fault for not paying attention to the details!

    I love animals as much as anyone and yes I feel for anyone who has these problems.

    That said as MOAB has pointed out this is not the place to raise funds and the Admin team is against the practice of approaching our members with such a request.

    It makes very little difference that the OP is not actively asking for funds as it has been put out there that he needs 4000 euro so now, through the good will of some members, funds will be raised.

    If you do wish to help this member it is entirely your own choice but it must be remembered there is no way to actually verify the situation.

    The problem for the admin team is do we appear heartless and lock this thread or do we risk this snowballing until everyone is asking for help of some kind.

    Well said, Ken.

    As sad as this is, it's probably not the right arena for this thread - though if there are members who are willing to help, then it says alot about a replica watch forum, doesn't it? :) 

     

  24. What you think about this Phong 1675?

    I have to agree, even though I have gone overboard on a couple of builds myself!!

    I also bought a 16750 a few years back, and my price was similar to what you paid. Around 2600-2700 USD, also with a pretty nice bracelet. Pretty hard to compare prices 5+ years ago to today though. Everything is more expensive now.

    I believe that one question everyone needs to ask themselves before embarking on an expensive build, what happens when I "fall out of love" with it? The next "Grail watch" comes along, and it needs to go? Can you afford to take a beating on one of these if no one wants it at your price? The market for 2K plus watches is not the same as the 200-400 USD watches. Not many impulse buyers at 2K! Also the buyer pool is much smaller in the rarified air. Just thoughts to ponder before you jump.

    Well done on that price! that is a steal whenever you look.

    I think the key is patience. Although have struggled to find good deals these days I must admit. My last one was a 9411 Tudor which was April last year. From then to now, nothing. Everything has been market priced.
