  1. Even so what you are paying is around double what you can find them for on the bay. I paid $300 not 3 months ago for one.
  2. In comparison yours looks pretty spot on.
  3. Had exactly the same issue and the only way to get another gasket was to order another crystal from Angus which includes the gasket. Should be around $50 or so.
  4. I've never had a problem with any dealer and infact Josh has gone out of his way on a number of occasions to get me parts etc when he didn't have to. There is obviously issues with the Asian ETA movements and the high prices of reps but remember to get the quality that we are seeing now original watches are being dissected and this obviously adds to the overall cost of the replica. I think the dealers at the moment are doing a good job although I would like to see them participating on the forums more.
  5. @LR Lello hasn't gone from the forum but is just taking a break from producing date wheels for now. He may or may not start these again as he has experienced quite a bit of frustration with the production of these...Mainly from his printer not getting them right 100% of the time as The Zigmeister has pointed out.
  6. Fantastic looking Pam you have there and that datewheel is the icing on the cake.
  7. Thanks once again Lani for a great review. Pretty sizeable watch this one..Looks big even on your 'Hulk Hogan' wrists
  8. Nice to see you here..Welcome.
  9. Hmmm I don't think the model you chose is the better of the Evolutions. There are a few versions out there and they confuse me to be honest but the one that I went for and I recommend you go for is this one. http://www.pc-80108.com/bl10090-chronomat-...bph-p-2589.html
  10. Beautiful job as always S, Looks fantastic.
  11. Good choice, The CE is an awesome watch.
  12. JM this watch is one of the best reps ever made and you will not be sorry with this...Trust. Heres my one with Chieftang double AR and a lello datewheel;
  13. One suggestion only: Steer clear of that site. Why not buy from one of our trusted dealers...Just an idea
  14. Lello, Let me firstly say that of the three batches of Breitling datewheels I have had installed from you not one has been problematic. I want to thank you for this fantastic service and say that you have to carry these on as the Skyland is out soon and I need another datewheel Enjoy your break.
  15. We should work out the correct dimensions and find a crystal that fits this watch. Anyone have one with the crystal out at the moment or at Chiefs?
  16. Any good.?? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/44mm-custom-case-fo...1QQcmdZViewItem
  17. Has this seller returned anyones questions to him in ebay....I must have asked at least a dozen times about the handwind crowns but still he doesn't return my question.
  18. Thanks for the suggestions R.
  19. Thanks Taka, Another very good review.
  20. My old watchmaker stretched the tension ring that holds the glass into my Navitimer and wanting to know where to get another one. Any ideas on this would be most appreciated as I have my chief double ar'd crystal that I cannot install now and it's killing me.
  21. Now this is more an educated guess than fact but It should get the ball rolling for you. 1- The movement would come in a non serviced state so would more than probably be dry,If you are putting this movement into a keeper watch then get this serviced. 2 - Probably not but see point one. 3 - If the movement runs at the same BPM as the swiss then it will have the same sweep motion. 4 - Non mod version should be way more reliable as it is a standard configuration.
  22. Skyland should be available next month.
  23. The fault is with the crystal itself..Just a cheaper type of crystal I think. The double AR makes a huge difference and you can see in my photo that it does indeed disappear....Not just at every angle though. Not a deal breaker though as the coke bottle issue only appears on quite a steep angle.
