To RWG. There is a lot to learn. So jump on in and have some fun Mike

As Samurai says" pm the Admin" they will take it from there. Mike

Thanks for posting. No need to be so shy . Open up a little. Let us get to know you a bit. Good to have you here. Welcome Mike

Brian. It sounds to me like you have a great attitude. Trust me your going to love it here. This community kicks ass. Enjoy Mike

.

Im dying over here

That all depends. If you dont mind me asking "where did you get it"? I hate to say this but "this is one of the down sides of the rep game" If you rather not mention the name of the dealer, I understand. Good luck Mike

Yeap...RWG is like NY city...All the cultures of the world in a community that never sleeps,24/7!!!

And full of the finest people out there with culture,education,great sense of humor but most

importantly knowledge and passion for everything,especially watches...all kinds!!!

Well said my friend

Thanks for the heads up. Their service is a little off but I did receive my last Tag from them. I hope the Sea Dweller gets here. What can you recommend for a reliable and good product site. thanks

brian

No problem Brian,glad I could help. The only thing I can do is relate my experence. I read Toads Noob guide. This realy helped prepare me for the world of reps. Then you have a search engine at the uper right hand corner,fantastic device. The dealer reviews are very informative. There are several good dealers on RWG. It will be up to you to decide what dealer is best for your needs. So take your time and get to know the place. There is so much information here,use it to your advantage. Happy hunting Mike PS good luck on that Sea Dweller.

I dont mean to alarm you but there are some things you should be made aware. I almost orderd from exactreplica. Before I did that I thought I better do some research on them,Good thing I did. Thats how I came upon RWG. There is a Complaint borad . com. It has many,many complaints about bad service and watches. Some folks received nothing. It is also on RWG,s scam list by way of a member Fakemaster. Might want to take a look. Maybe things are better there now Good luck Mike

Pull your boots up man. Jump in and have some fun. Buy a watch or three Mike

Good to have you here Mike

To RWG. This site can be adictive. Nights when I cant sleep to well I end up here for hours. One thing I can say is "Im learning a lot". Now I have to learn some restraint. It's not easy. I just orderd my second rep. The Pam 196 daylight. So much for restraint Enjoy this awsome community and keep an eye on your $$$ Mike

In some circumstances, silicon may be used as the adhesive. Need to be careful to use only very small amounts so it doesn't "ooze" to areas it shouldn't be!

My local wholesale guy, who is also president of the local watchmakers assoc, recommended it to me as against buying dial dots, (even though he sold them!) Cheaper, and in his words, "silicon gives a better flexibility, shock absorption, and is easier to remove"

I do a large number of quartz movement replacements, and silicon does the job most times. If it does go wrong, it is pretty easy to pry apart and scrape clean. The one thing I have found, is to use very, very small amounts, for fear of the aforementioned oozing, and to not make the join too thick.

I caution to add, that this is for "cut and shut" quartz movement replacements, I would seek better alternatives if I was working on an expensive genuine.

Thanks Offshore. I prefer quartz movement for everyday run around use. This info is very helpful. Cheers Mike

You got that right, Maxman... they say in the auto biz "oil is cheaper than metal."

Yes sir

Thank you very much Zig. Im fairly new to this hobby. I did not realize how important servicing a watch was, until now. I am a car person. I can relate the maintance aspect of watches to cars. The same thing, I am sure. I call it preventative maintance. Pay me a little now or pay me a lot more later. Sound advice,thanks Mike

T's inspiration...

Thats some funny shi right there. He he he he he

I also could not log in. I figured it was a glich.. Seems all is well. I need my fix. Mike

Welcome back Zero. Destructive Analysis Engineer? Sounds like fun. Mike

Cyfer. That is a beautiful Tag. I love the SLR line. I have not been here quite two months and Im on my second rep. Just orderd a Pam 196 daylight. I would have never considerd this brand before I arrived here. I was a Omega and Tag man. RWG has opend my eyes and mind to all kinds of timepeices. Thanks for the pic. Enjoy your new hobby(obsession) Mike

Welcome to RWG. I know how you feel. I purchased my first rep about sex oops I mean six weeks ago. I knew I wanted the Omega PO chrono. I just could not make up my mind who to go with, at the end I went with Andrew. It was a good desision. The first time out is a little nerv racking. It does get adictive. I just orderd a Pam 196 daylight. I to want to thank this community for the great infomation. RWG is the best. Good luck with your new watch. Let us know how you feel about it when you have time. Mike

Hi Guys,

All points taken on board. Thanks for the links and thanks for not flaming me, appreciate it.

Cheers,

Jon

Oh the flaming. That comes later

Welcome Doug. Hope you enjoy this awsome community. Nice reps btw. Good luck and happy hunting Mike

Welcome to RWG Jim. Greece is a beautiful country. Ouzo anyone I am also new to the community. I have seen some very nice Breitling reps. Read Toads Noob Guide. It is a great intro into the world of reps. He also go's into detail on a specific Breitling. Enjoy Mike PS your English is fine
