Id like to see some skinny wrists with the fiddy!

I AM GETTING THIS watch! looks stunning and classy.

nice

what kind of straps would work on the rep deploy?

@mikolee are you suggesting that because you bought good watches from Rockarep that he and GSW should be allowed to break the boards rules?

This is not about the quality of his watches or parts, there are Admin team members who have had trouble free transactions with him but nobody gets a free ride on our rules.

This board is here for all to enjoy, our rules are to make sure that everyone plays fair.

HI Ken! long time

aside from the fact that other members , myself included have had hassle free transactions with the guy

mods must determine without reasonable doubt that Rockarep and GSW are the same person. until then

dont ban the guy. i think he is an asset to this community

GSW is a legitimate business in Nevada.

i have sent several watches there for modding and have gotten the pieces

back with the promised Mods.

my best reps were from Rockarep(Jeff). Gsw and Rockarep are two different people.

fyi i have bought from rockarep several times. had nothing but the most flawless transactions

with him and is really a talented watchmaker that is dilligent in answering emails and helping

others out. i have never felt worried in any of our dealings.

I have always looked at selling stuff over the net like this, you can only sell and take payments for those items that you sell if you have faith in people to do the right thing....most of the time!

Honest people are the majority of your buyers and tbh if someone wants to try to scam you....they will in saying that I have used Paypal to get my money back from a seller a couple of times this year too but only when the product was either broken or just nothing like what I bought, it's a two way street, my last was for a $300 phone that I bought in full working order and lightly used to find it worked when it wanted too and had been abused by the previous owner.....I did however have to send the phone back to get my refund as I had done before that too (cost me extra $60 in post fees!).

I know a couple of us have had problems lately but the door swings both ways in all this and Paypal should enforce the return of any goods before a refund is given to the buyer....it's fair that way for both parties

Scammers get there just rewards eventually mate

thanks well said.

Seems like their are some folks that use pay pal to use it to their benefit. Happened to me when I sold some items in eBay. Buyer gets item, says it's broken , files claim, wins claim, keeps money and supposed broken item.

How can I protect myself? Obviously I won't be putting contraband terms in pay pal title, if I don't ask for gifted what can I do?

Thanks

how are the lugs of the ap diver? those were the biggest tells on AP roos as of 2 years ago.

have they fixed it?

do you have em in screw on buckle?

what are your movements? im lucky to get 48. hell one of my older one are only 16hrs

The lume on mine was not even in color. a little yellow/orange on the dial indexes and white on the hands. Give the BP a good relume and you are done. The AR is fantastic and the recessed date not that bad at all.

That's too beautiful. Nice!

Dutchguy2 and fxrandy thanks your

Posts have been extremely helpful.

If it's good enough for you guys

Its good enough for me..

Now the next questions is. What mods can be done

To BP aside from fixing the PR and the recessed date wheel?

at least its showing the header! patience

i think youl be fine. if your confident enough to pull it off then it will be ok.

i know many girls who can pull of the 3717, most of them gen too:)

Has anyone stated that it's impossible? Most asians have eta counterparts afaik, although hands might need broaching etc... Isn't it rather so that the TG and 3717 are "more 1:1" reps and thus more inspiring for people to order with upgraded movements?

even my watchmakers who do all my mods and supply most of my movements say its easier said than done.

i would think the concepta route would be the only option. has anyone here been successful? id like to know.

Guys been wanting the BP for so long but only think holding me back are the movements.

why is it that the TGs and 3717s can be fitted with swiss movements while the BP cannot?

if im really desperate might even pull the trigger on a gen movemnet if i can source one out!

Cmon pics, the big pilot and the portu are whati want.

Nice may I ask how much it cost? I wish they made man bags out of that type of leather

How does one even begin on a journey like that.

Takes planning, dedication, patience and persistence .

Would be easier to scale K2..

I would not even know where to begin.

damn i wish more of those come up with the FS section.

Iwc is the only watch lacking from my cabinet.

V2s have been out for awhile now

The color is indeed true to gen..

That's beautiful

V2 comes with lighter PVD finish than V1, not darker.

It is overall better watch and little closer to the real deal than V1, however still not exactly there.

Go for the V2 and call it a day or wait for rumored Noob's 026 release, whenever they might be.

I owned both V1 and V2, sold the former kept the latter.

Thanks babola! V2 it is. What can be done to the v2 that will make it closer to GEN? Is it the finish?
