Hey there BT, nice to see you post again

Well Ebel has always been one of the best reped brands out there, i am the lucky owner of a Disco panda sold to me by Stu a few years back along with a gen crown, absolutely stunning piece

Cheers 

Something from the past, i am sure quite a few of the crew in here will recognize this version!

SMP- C DAY

This 47mm monster 300m chrono for the whole week

"If you are looking at this you know about BK. He is one of the best at reproducing replicas. This one has a Clark crystal, genuine Rolex insert, and the crown and tube are Rolex as well. I have 1200.00 USD into it....I know right?
Verified ETA movement, no marks on the crystal, faint markings on bracelet. The only drawback is I lost my spare links for it, so it'll only fit about 6.5" wrist
message me with questions
  Thanks"

Idiot....

Rep-hating, Gen-loving purists aside, that guy sure is an idiot for not only posting a pic of a rep watch on a strictly Gen forum, but also for mentioning the forum that he bought it from.  Seriously, how could such a moron even think that was a good idea?! Especially when there are enough well informed guys and gals over on RWI already that could have answered his questions without bringing embarrassment onto himself.

 

Amateurs...

Excellent point

Yeap, Holland it is and does a superb job, currently waiting for my Ebel Panda to arrive from a full service from him and will post a review of his work

Rolexman is your best choice in EU, Zig also charges way much less than this master watchmaker,359$ is too much i think<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk 10.0

If you are serious about hosting this in perpetuity, don't use a shady host. Share it on Google Docs.

Like I have done with this handbook of clock and watch repair. .... https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1j2lHMALa7DNjRhOTE4ZWQtMWJiMy00ZGMxLTgwMWQtYzc0OWUzNmI1OTM1/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks J, will do that

Brilliant

Late news, I heard from Lani, looks like Thursday we meet up. The man is a legend and an absolute gentleman. Can't wait! Will I see his AMAZING collection of watches? Doubt it... at one per minute I'd be there 5 hours to just see his "favorites" group. I think instead it will just be some quality ohana time with ma brudda.

Wristies with Lani's tatoo for authentication, just to make sure it isn't a rep!!!

Say hi to Lani since you are there, we really miss him!

Get her a TC sub, this will keep her happy....for a while

Welcome to the nuthouse mate!

Well, to my knowledge the best sub comes exclusively from this vendor

www.rolex.com

unfortunately it is not the cheapest!!!

happy Easter all

Nice Foamlex!!!

Rolex

If you can source the parts then you will find someone to built it for you

Tough task though i am afraid since parts are rare

Your best chance would be if something appears in the sales section
