Perfectionist

Would you say this one is better than the legendary "old stock" SMP ?

Yep, one to wear on both wrists

LOL It's so obvious now ...... you are a Virgin

Yes you are dude, Replica Women (ie your favourite blow up dolls) don't count

Listen, just because you have no charm, are seriously ugly and have a small [censored], doesn't mean that you will never meet a female who will love you ..... don't give up, no matter how many times you are rejected !!

You see, I genuinely feel sorry for you - and I really don't want you following your father's footsteps and become so depressed and desperate ...... that you marry your sister !!

Seriously dude, inbreeding is a bad idea ...... look how you turned out ...... !!

Dude, this post died three weeks ago.

True, found it after searching for TAG ...... seems I have awoken a monster ......

Dude !!

Your sexual frustration has forced you into looking for sex over the internet !!

And with men !!

Actually that does make sense - switching sides when you have no luck with women !!

Anyhow, keep counting those non-existant £100 Pound notes ..... maybe even try saving up for a cheap hooker ..... just make sure she ain't your mamma first !!

Nice !! Now tell us how the hell you got one !!

As you have both now, what are the differances between the old and the new versions that make it so superior ??

In fact roughly when did the old version become available and when did it disappear ??

And how much did it cost at the time ??

And ...... are you absolutely positive you don't wanna sell yours !!

Dang !! This TTK guy is seriously in need of a girlfriend !!

Dude, just chill out and sell fake watches will ya !!

PS - If the Rep game ends anytime soon, don't worry, I can see a budding future for you as an investigative journalist

Not if you were rich !!

Any luck getting one ?

Was this Rep so good that Omega called in the heavies and got the factory shut down ??

Dude !! You have great taste

Which dealers did you get them from ?

Paying over a thousand bucks for a Rep !!

You guys are nuts !!

But in a charming kinda way and I'm seriously jealous !!

Well don't keep it a secret !

Hell, No !! TTK is obviously confused ..... either that or someone's been paying him with replica money LOL

Do £100 pound notes exist ??

Anyhow, all this watch repairing malarkay looks like childs play to me ....... Flame On !! (as they say in the Fantastic four )

Fantastic Work !

Looking at all those prices though ..... most of the time, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy the gen !!

What does the back of a genuine SMP GMT look like ?

Can't find pics of it anywhere

watcher, how'd things go with the AR coating ?

Hey, you and I speak the same language. There's one way to learn and that's to try, suffer, fail, and try again.

Just remember that you can't begin to fathom how delicate these things are... and the clearances/tolerances are microscopic.

Give yourself LOTS of time, and don't drink coffee the day of the surgery.

You'll have fun, you'll likely destroy a watch or two, and you'll learn something along the way, and earn a little knowledge.

I say go for it. And take photos to post here.

Dude ! Finally someone on the same wave length

I'm looking forward to destroying many watches ..... and having a ball in the process !!

Thanks for the link to clockspares.com ! Based in the UK too ! Sweet

Ok, now I'm off to waste a little money and hell of a lot of time

This time next year I'll be hired by Patek as a Master Watchmaker LOL .... but joking aside, as far as I'm concerned "skill" is just a glorified word for "practice" and studious reading

LOL ..... coulda guessed

So what y'all tryin to say is taking out the movement and dunking it into an ultrasonic cleaner is a bad idea ..... Check

However, the car analogy doesn't quite fit I think ..... I do all my own "minor" repairs and have never asked a mechanic to change the engine oil ...... no matter how much he told me it was a difficult job that I shouldn't try !!

Still, I'm kinda itchin to open up some of my mega cheap fantasy reps - and see if I can get them working again ...... a little bit of oil and a loupe should do the trick, right LOL !!

[censored] !

I know that a "proper" service of a watch is a skilled and time consuming job which costs at least a couple of hundred bucks .....

But, if that is not a viable option is there anything I can do myself ??

Is it worth me just dismantling a watch and giving it a good look over with my handy dust blower ..... maybe even sitting the movement in an ultrasonic cleaner for a while ??

Or is this just a waste of time and could potentially damage the watch ??

How did you align the bezel with a hair dryer ?

Do tell .... I thought fixing the bezel was quite tricky and time consuming !

Huh ??

Does Airport Security check peoples watches now ??

Where can I find this other "dark side" RWI ?

Do you spend more time there cos its a better forum ? !
