Pearl's not very good, closed 4 on the 45 bezel marker, its a sure step back from the predecessor!

Here's a big please to the manufacturers to bring out another one, like the old one!!!!

Very very impressive! Great job!

I say make the most of it whilst they're at those prices!

Great choice Takashi, unless I'm very much mistaken, that's a gen? Looks awesome! Wear it well!

Happy Birthday! I vote the Steelfish!

Nice one! Certainly fooled me!

Look directly above your post, the bottom link in CHRGOD's signature....it's another brilliant review.

Good choice Admin!

From here on, hopefully we can see RWG get back to what is does best; buy and talk watches!

The SMP chrono is definitely worthy of the list. If you align the bezel, the bracelet having screws is is hardly noticeable! Its a masterpiece

Indeed, good spot!!

Wouldn't have had that trouble if he had bought Swiss

Absolutely incredible! Another fantastic review!!!!

I have no experience of Chinese culture in terms of business, (practising Jeet Kune Do doesn't count does it? ) so I can't reply to this as it will be through feeling rather than fact. One thing I do think though is that due to being a replica forum, we have dealers of highest quality here, and I don't think they would begin sordid business practice due to the actions of a few others. If any new dealers felt they could continue in the bad footsteps in misrepresnting they would be gone in an instant. (which is where your point lies I believe, in why 'should they have anymore chances?')

Ok I did reply, thus contradicting my second line

I can see what you're saying, but as others have pointed out, a n00b scammer would be instantly banned, would they not? That being the case, why should the Cartel be shown any less stringent behaviour? After all, by being trusted members of the community, that makes their behaviour more distastefull, because it was directed to people who respecetd and trusted them.

I see your point. A new dealer who came in and acted in this way would be given the shove. They have been around for a long time and should know better than to do such a thing. Personally I feel a harsher punishment is the most suitable. I think a ban forever is too harsh. Stopping their dealer rights and outside linking would protect noobs from any possible direct future problems. Ok, people can recommend them, but the mods would have to duly take that unto themselves to prevent such recommendations being made publicly. It would also allow them to re-establish themselves and maybe if they can PROVE to us that it won't happen again, they can be re-instated. This would show them we do mean it and anymore acts such as the ones we have seen will be followed by a suggestion to hop skip and......

Hell I've only been here for a year, so I could be talking out my [censored] here. This is my view. They have completely abused their trust, is it forgiveable? If it were to never happen again, tkae a punishment and learn from it I think so.

It is clear that we are all after one thing - - - - A safe community. Now again this all comes down to how this can be achieved. Only the admin and mods can decide that fate based on our voting and our views. Time will tell.......

Get a list going, where people can add, remove and debate as they feel fit to do so.

To start in no Particular order

- Tag Carrera Chrono

- Ferrari series

- Breitling Chronomat Evolution

- Breitling Steelfish

- Hublot Big Bang (was that this year?)

- IWC Pilot

Yes, the inner dial where the 10,15,etc.. need to be moved a fraction inwards, so they are closer to the dial.

AND THE WONKY MARKERS

@ CC and Teejay, it's good to see a disagreement about this, but in a way that is conducted with some decorum

Far too many times in this post I have seen things blown way out of proportion, when in actual fact we all want the same result, but through different approaches.

Myself, I believe that some form of punishment is necessary. What they did was to abuse their status, based on the evidence provided in this forum. To banish them forever, too harsh. To let them off and say don't do it again, too lenient. We have to strike a happy medium. A medium that will allow us to progress with a hobby, that for most part is bloody enjoyable, so there is no doubt in our mind, which causes us to question ourselves everytime we press that 'buy now' button.

That's a great idea to have an updated list.

Especially now we have seen watches such as the BCE, Steelfish, HBB, and the new Ferrari watch which I am trying to resist.

Why do people have a fascination with taking them into an AD. It's so stupid. They know that these things are out there, and any little hint or mistake is going to spoil it for the whole community!

Why not go in there without the watch on and look at the gen. You can get the feel from it, and then compare pics of the real thing for accuracy.

I don't want to come across as a right miserable git, but in future be wary of going into an AD with a rep on, and then openly declaring it, one mistake and it could ruin it for everyone.

Im glad you like the watch though, Im waiting for mine, and going from this it will live upto my expectations!

Great choice!! Thanks for sharing

I have always thought it was C1.

Some think it is a mixture of C3 and C1.

You won't get any better than this. If you want a more accurate BCE, it'll have to be a genuine.

Congrats on a good purchase! Looks good!

That would look really good on a black strap!

If it were me I would want to know. I don't know how to contact him, but some anonymous letter 'recommending' the movement be looked at by an AD would be in order.

Has that got lume on the chapter ring?

What part is the chapter ring?

Also that crystal seems to have very light absorbant properties for the asian model, which I believe has mineral glass and no AR!!

haha, I remember the first time this happened to me! I got some post through the door, thought I had received a rep order, but I got a plastic toy. Nice purchase! Im waiting for the same with white subdials.
