Just a quick heads-up for those, like me, who have been desperately trying to buy lume. Check out ebay seller named wiegand4 Selling Lum-Tec compounds in various shades and sizes, reasonable prices and postage costs. Huzzah for Lume!

Pretty much, since the "tracking" is handled by an old Chinese clairvoyant and a grumpy ferret. The ferret is in charge, too...

Ok, this from DHL website: It's not always about the purchasing! If someone sends you a gift from abroad that is over £36 in value, you will also be obliged to pay the duty and VAT unless the person who sent it has agreed to pay it themselves. Likewise, if you are the person sending you need to remember that if you don't take the time to include the proper invoices then your shipment could be held in customs or the person you are sending to may be charged too much duty and VAT. The bottom line is: If you are sending goods out of the European Union (EU) you will need to prepare a Prepare a Customs Invoice and if you are receiving a shipment you need to know that there could be duties on top that may be billed after the shipment has been delivered. Of course I don't know for sure, but I doubt DHL care what brands of watch are in the parcel. They want to make sure your friend pays the correct taxes. Anyway, if it were me I would just say it's 5x$30 cheapo watches and pay the damn duty. At the least I would call DHL and ask them what they want me to do to get the thing delivered. Just my 2 cents Good luck with it!

I'm liking this idea, no matter how unrealistic it is! Whipped this up at work, I'll make a few more on different watches tonight from home where my PC isn't from the 1980s

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck in matching a steel bracelet to the Sinn U1/U2/UX? The gen ones are $200+, which is out of my budget, but I figure there has to be something that will come close... maybe?

Just an option, you can pick up a used D200 for about $AU700 off the bay.

Hi all, Just curious if there are any good Slytech models being sold. I found this one at Silix but having a hard time sourcing more from the usual dealers. Any help finding them would be appreciated

Leonardo Dicaprio's character in Blood Diamond wears a Breitling Chrono Avenger Ti on a walnut strap. Been trying to source one but seems they are too old now.

Hi all, Wow, been reading this forum for two years and never posted! How slack of me I have used the search function till I my eyeballs stung, I have read every mention of the Asian 7750 and I am still without a clue. My next purchase will be around the $300 mark, my first decent rep. The choice is between a chrono and a non-chrono, which brings me to my problem: is the Asian 7750 an accurate time-keeper? I've had some negative experience with the infamous "21 jewel asian automatic", mostly with them running about 1-2 minutes fast per day, which drove me to sell them all. Having to always look for an accurate time source to make sure my watch was running on time even drove me to buy a quartz (zomg!) watch. I hated it for not being alive. So here I am, willing to spend a little more money on something that will hopefully last me at least one year if not two. To put it in perspective I currently wear an Aplha Seamaster, which is basically a Chinese Hommage to the Omega SMP blue. It cost me all of $US40 about a year ago and has been the most accurate automatic I've ever owned, barely losing a couple of seconds in a week. So, do I buy an Aquaracer 300m Chrono, coz it looks the business, or stick with the Aqauracer 500m w/ ETA 2824-2, and be safe? Which movement, fully understanding they are totally different beasts, is going to be more accurate over, say, a week? If you own either of these two movement watches I'd be really grateful for your input. Btw, these forums rock, they have saved my bacon on a few occasions in the watch repair area. Thank you!

Is the transparent back on the rep crystal or plastic?
