Welcome Jonny to the world famous (drum roll please) R.W.G. All I can say is be careful, this rep gig can be very adictive. Im sure you are already aware of this. That being said it also can be a lot of fun. enjoy Mike

Royler, good to have you here. The more reading and research that you do the better off you will be, thats for sure. Reading Toads Noob Guide Is a great eye opener. It sure helped me a lot. Have fun and happy hunting Mike

I dont know if I should say welcome or thanks, so I will say both. Good to have a member with a lot of experence. I cant add anything to the good advice that you have already given. Oh yea, Read Toads noob Guide, great stuff. Again welcome Mike

Thanks for the infomation. I think you might want to poast this in the trade review section. Thats if Im reading you right Mike

Most leather straps from the the rep sites are not very good (suck) I would suggest that you find a watch that you like and get a nice aftermarket strap, Hirsch,Debeers, dewine Hadley Roma,ect. Maybe a nice croc strap. Back to your ?. I like the Audemars Piquet Ruben Baracello. It seems to have a very classy thick brown leather strap. I also like the Breitling Chronmat Evolution Chrono. This also seems to come with a very nice brown leather strap. Both of these watches have a very nice gen looking clasp. Good luck with your search Mike

Very interesting. I heard Citizens has a quarts movement that mimics the sweep.(calibre f335) Im not suprised,a quicker/shorter tick will look very much like a sweep.I think Seiko has been making one sense the mid 90s. I think this is good news sense I like a good quarts movement. set it and for get it Good luck with your Santos. I would consider the rehaul on the movement If it were me Mike

The only place I see one is at Trustytime. (Andrew) It looks good but has the cheep 21j movement. The only other thing I coud suggest is to contact one of the trusted dealers here and ask them if they can source a better (7750) version. If not having the full capabilities over your cronos dosent bother you the cheeper one might just do the tick. Good luck Mike

I dont think you give yourself enough credit. The pics you took are crisp and clear Imho. I see that other members would agree, good job Mike

Thanks for the pics. This just reminds me of how bad I need a good digital. The cell phone pics are embarrassing. The Hublot you have is very nice but like you I would say "not enough contrast". I just picked up a BBH with the polished ss and black ceramic bezel.(301 rx) It really gives it that POP. Thanks again for sharing your colliction. Mike

Whoomp dare it is

I really dont know about B&R. On the other hand the Hublot brand is doing very good in the market place.(high end) The idea of the fussion of materials is refreshing. Hublots sales are better now then they have ever been. I just picked up a HBB 301 rx Tuiga 1909, Stunning watch. When I first saw them several months ago I thought they were strange looking, now I really like them. Thanks for the poast Mike

Im realy looking foward to your one year torture test. Im about to purchase a 2813 21j Pam Gmt. I hear they are a robust movement that can take a licking we will see Mike

Im sorry, but is your Hublot in the "witness protection program"? Hence the disguise. Just having a little fun. I just received my Hublot Big Bang.301.sb131 rx, Stunning watch, I realy like it very much. When Im not wearing it I keep the plastic mold protecter on it all the time. Im perrty sure that the gens come with this plastic cover, pertty cool. I wish you the best of luck with your watch Mike

There is also 40mm at Timeshops.net. I know a lot of members here at RWG have used them. His name is Mark and has been around for quite some time. Keep your eye on the $20 discount #. Im going to buy a Pam from him soon. Good luck Mike

Smart Man

Pm sent

What I gave you was a sincere reply to your post, why the snotty response, you tell me. I never insinuated that you dont read these forums. How was I supossed to know when you purchased the watch? You said nothing about taking a chance Thats why I asked if you were aware of the problems before you purchased the watch. Where you get this 200 per month post thing is beyond me. I mean what does that have to do with anything? I had know Idea you knew so much. If I would have known about your extensive knowledge I would not have not responed. The thing I cant figure out elvis If your so dam smart, why ask any questions? Considering that your so well aware of the issues and all. The next time someone responds to your post just say thanks, or maybe better yet say nothing at all. Just a thought.

Can you show some pics of the watch? If you can do that or put up a link Im sure you will get several opinions. Mike

Pertty cool watch for $20. Probably last you for ever and a day. All I can say about the other two is "DAMMMMMMMM" Mike

I hope you can find some one to work on your 2836-2 movement. I was about a week away from ordering a Pam GMT with this same movement. Then I read The Zigmeisters repair review, no thanks. By tor also had problems with the 2836-2. Did you know about the Issues with this movement before you made the purchase? Not that it realy matters now. Good luck Mike

Sorry to here about your problem. Nice looking strap btw. I just resently returned a Pam 217. The watch would stop after 15-30 min. I would go to change the time and it would start running again. The dealer had no problem sending me a new watch. I told him the watch was not running properly the day I recieved it, good thing I asked him if he knew what the problem was. He said "no not realy, that these things happen for whatever reason". Hopefuly someone will chime in with some helpful advice, if there is such a thing,good luck Mike

to RWG guys. It's realy good to have you here, .enjoy Mike

Im not 100% sure but I think there is a three day public holliday there right now. This is what I have been lead to believe anyway. Give It a few days. Im sure he will get back with you soon. Andrew is real good about stuff like that, unless you bored him to death Mike
