thank you!

no problems at all. paid 25 for next day air and got the dial in less than 24hrs in perfect condition. had it installed the same day.

I just finished my franken SA project. watch from Perfect Clones 345, Pro2 bracelet from Provident Jewelers 500+tax, black baton dial from thediamondcastle 419, installed by watchsmith 125. total cost around 1400. the pic is an HDR image i just created shot with a Nikon D90 in raw aperture priority, low iso, long exposure pulled 3 different exposures from the raw file saved as tiffs using lightroom then merged to HDR and tone mapped using photmatix. save back to tiff on to cs4 final touches then compress to jpg resize and done. it takes a little while to do so I only did one out of the 50 or so i shot. thanks guys. couldn't have done it without you! HDR original pic update

thanks for the help btw

Thanks anyway I got the pro2 today at a local Ad for 500, getting the black baton from diamondcastle. any thoughts on the Eta7750 or the bezel?

beautiful piece! Im working on mine right now

thanks Bike Mike, let me know please. does anyone know the msrp on the pro2 from AD typically?

building a Franken SA. sourcing stuff out. have the watch, found a dial. need a pro2 bracelet. authenticwatches says 2-4 weeks. none on the bay 2day. need one asap! the rep bracelet sucks i owned a gen so its really obvious to me. suggestions please if anyone can help

the demands for reps are mostly due to the companies over inflated prices that most people can not afford. as these companies target a "high class" clientele by attracting people who can afford these watches and would desire them mostly due to the image of exclusivity they superficially display buy wearing one(myself included at times barley) is entirely as self centered imho, as the licentious attitude of rep buyers(myself included) who support the entire rep industry whom also desire that same image of exclusivity but simply can not afford to pay the over inflated prices. this also would explain why the "best reps" are pretty much the same thing at a fraction of the cost of gen, as that would prove that gen watches can be made and sold for much less in terms of the actual costs not justified by huge overhead and advertising costs . the real problem is the the selfish self-centered desire to look or feel better about ourselves and of course to others in order to gain an temporarily enhanced sense of self worth as persons. but this does last as with anything else there is "never enough" that will ultimately satisfy us in a superficial meaningless way. most of us already know this intuitively on some level, but we simply don't have anything better to do or so we think at the time. we also know that the business world is corrupt in general so therefore the companies that make "gen" watches are of course acting out of self interest in order to keep making money while judging and condemning the rep community to whom they desire in pride to shut out of their exclusive "pay our over inflated prices if you want to be accepted" attitude. however there are also simply those who love the beauty and mechanics of watches and/or watchmaking apart from all the dysfunctional reasons to own one. personally I tend to fall into the dysfunctional category which is how I have come to know all this. anyway I'm just bored. no pun intended here.
