  1. So what is the story with the ETA 2892A2 and its supposedly smoother sweep?
  2. I don't like picturing my ol' gals getting serviced
  3. If you can pull off a Rolexium dial, the stagnant Cartier Santos dial project should be a breeze!
  4. I highly recommend the book, Marking Time by Michael Korda. I have read it a few times and it is always enjoyable.
  5. Buy it now! Collect them all!
  6. :lol: :lol: too funny I'm dying now..
  7. This is without question, the funniest thing I have read all month. Thank you
  8. lol, he even says he will insure the shipment for 2500 pounds on a 4000 - 5000 pound purchase.
  9. Were thepurists not cooperating this time?
  10. With the current trend to wear big watches, I think things will be working in your favor. Maybe try a Rolex Explorer 1, AirKing or DateJust. Here is a thread from WatchGrl that should be useful. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=9021 Good luck!
  11. It sounds like the crown stem release button was pressed too far during removal and now there is problem with the keyless works. It is a simple job for a watchmaker, but quite difficult for most of us. Hopefully I am wrong. Good luck!
  12. Not seeing anything. Someone take a screenshot.
  13. At the moment I'm looking to send it to Finepics but even Finepics agrees, the shipping back and forth across the pond will not be cheap. Not to mention the lousy tanking dollar right now.
  14. It is the 38mm larger white ceramic with auto movement. We paid slightly more than any Chanel wo-mart offers. According to EL, there are 4 variations of J12 reps now but ours is still the best and yes, the bezel font is different from the gen
  15. Unfortunately, my wife did not ask. I'm going to try going back wearing a horrible, horrible Rolex submariner I picked up years ago in Mexico. It has a GMT bezel and just looks rediculous. I will walk in and ask if I can get it sized Maybe I can find out why they have the J12.
  16. This is very sad news indeed. Mods, please move this thread to General Discussion. Or perhaps its Off-Topic since so many watch threads that aren't about Reps are going there the last few days
  17. Rolex and Panerai use different colors of superlume but it comes from the same company.
  18. Everywhere I call say they do not do it in house. I even looked up the only AR coating fabrication company in my state and they turned me down as well..
  19. The simple explanation is it will not know. At midnight February 28th, the date will click over to show 29 just as it will do in March. On months where the number of days is less than 31, you will have to manually forward the watch either by advancing the hours or by using the quick-set feature of the movement. Don't worry, this is the same on the genuine models as well. For homework, research annual and perpetual movements.
  20. Is the third generation the one thath as the hand alignment issues with the off-centered hands or is that the second generation? I'm confused
  21. Just one hour ago Mrs. Linder stopped by our local Patek and Rolex AD to pick up a ring she was having worked on. The sales lady who has been very nice to us asked to see Mrs. Linder's watch for a moment. My wife handed her watch over and then the sales lady went to the back and pulled out a small item wrapped in paper. As she unwrapped the paper, the sales lady said they had come across a knock-off J12 and wanted to compare it to the original. My wife got very scared and watched in horror as our dealer friend unwrapped the second white J12 and placed it onto the counter next to Mrs. Linder's own watch. However, to my wife's suprise and delight, the other watch did not have the same feel of quality or the same look of almost translucent ceramic as her own watch did. Our dealer friend compared the two for a few minutes using the better ceramic version from EL as the reference "genuine" model and taking note of the various flaws in the other watch. In the end, my wife walked away convinced EL has stolen someone elses genuine J12 and sent it to us Thank you EL for taking the time to source for us this better version. It was put to the test and passed!
  22. Where did you find? I have not been able to find anyone but I did find this website of possible suppliers. http://www.thomasnet.com/products/antirefl...15700362-1.html
