Very nice. Ebel is a great watch. Excellent job on the modifications.

Yeah! +1

You don't have to be an expert. When you get your watch(s), take and post pictures. There are a lot of members here who thrive on taking and sharing photos. Also, there are all the naked girls in the Platinum section. PS. I also love the 20's and your avatar. My Grandmother was a total flapper, her and my Grandfather used to go to the speakeasy's during prohibition.

@By-Tor Put me in the mood for a little Genesis:

guess I should throw in my Bond Homage.

One good option is to build yourself a solid reputation around these parts. Become an active member, then "buy from other members" within your home country. I am sure your purchase will turn out just fine. The long wait I was refereeing to is based on a custom build that many members have taken advantage of from a trusted collector here. No worries. Patience is key, and watching tracking is usually, useless. Welcome aboard and enjoy.

One more note when dealing with NDT/Yuki, many times their dial pictures on their sites are not WYSIWIG. If you see a dial you like, make sure to email them to make sure the dial photoed is the dial you will receive. (If you see multiple quantities of a given dial available (i.e. 2 available), make sure and ask. Nothing sucks more than scrutinizing a dial, bouncing between sites like doubleredseadweller or the VRF dial archive- finding something you want, only to receive something with a different coronet or font.

Thoughts, prayers, healing energy going out to her.

Welcome to the world of reps and international shipping. Heck, I have paid in full for a watch (BK WM9 SD) over a year ago, but am comfortable with situation as it is still being produced. My other approach is simple, order something (international/cartel/etc) and obtain tracking number if available. Then WAIT ONE MONTH, before getting even remotely concerned, or checking tracking. Honestly, I think my longest wait ever was 3 weeks, with an average of 7 to 10 days (EMS). Other advise is-- treat the purchase of reps like hitting the tables in Las Vegas, you win some, you loose some (rarely). Just, hang out read the forums while you patiently wait.

While I understand the value of a post like this, is airing our secrets publicly really such a good idea? Perhaps I need to remove my tin-foil hat, but lets not give anyone (LEA/Customs) monitoring our forums things to look for... Just a thought.

@chrgod, those Russians look pretty sweet!

OMFG! That is crazy for a bracelet that in all honesty (as cool as they were) is really junk compared to modern watch bracelets. At those price levels I would PROUDLY wear a rep/aftermarket bracelet on a GEN head. No shame.

Love it. I am a big fan of the "Service Look" and wish Service Dials were more easily obtained.

One of the best instrumentals.... The Rush in Rio version of La Villa is very fun (wait for Alex/Geddy to break into Stan Getz Ipanema mode around 6:52):

Very nice. There are a lot of Seiko fans around these parts.

Love the Seiko and Fortis above!!!

^Was just going to say that. Great minds think a like.
