  1. How do you guys think this tourbillion replica compares to the real thing? Is it the same quality as the simpler hublot replicas?
  2. So is that watch the same size of the other hublots? or is it larger? How much extra is it to get that full ceramic case from puretime?
  3. My precious tempest hublot my favorite watch is not working right. When i first got it it worked fine. Now its having a hard time staying ticking. It seems like it is not winding automatically like it should. I am thinking it needs to have back case taken off and oiled but i am not sure. Also i am not sure how to manually wind it..and i heard manually winding is a bad idea. I can see the movement since it has glass back. The thing is when I shake it the winder doesnt seem to wist around as smoothly and eaisly as ive seen it do on other watches. And i can twist it and twist it with vigorous shaking..and then the watch will start to tick fine..but atfter a few hours it usually stops. Can anyone offer any advice to me...thanks...
  4. CHeck out Micheal Phelp's blingy watch in this notorious photo. Any guesses on what it is? I was thinking it could be diamond bezeled Brietling... One thing for sure i would guess...bet its not a rep. According to his sponsors..he is suppose to wear an omega seamaster watch..but this doesnt look like one to me...maybe he can get in trouble with his sponsors on top of everything..can you imagine if he happens to be wearing a competitors watch to omega?
  5. Am i wrong or is the iwc top gun full ceramic on perfect clones for $350? Is this the same watch that is selling else wear for 600 plus? I can afford 350 if this is it.
  6. I am thinking about buying this olive green IWC...its called the ceralti limited edition. The real one sales for over 20k or so. Does anyone know how accurate this rep is? I am debating between this and the top gun ceramic...
  7. So thanks to replicas i got addicted to mechanical watches and ended up spending big bucks on a gen that i would normall have never bought. I have seen pics of the maurice lacroix skeleton and decided it was my dream watch. I always thought if i bought a gen watch it would be a skeleton so atleast you can see the movement your paying for, and also i know they are harder to replicate . i have had my eye on the chronoswisss opus for a long time but when i saw the maurice skeleton, i decided based on pictures this was my "dream watch". The only prob is i have got some amazing reps...Big Pilot, HBB full ceramic, and a Breitling. WHen the ML arrived it came in a fed ex box..and the box seemed very light..i opened it and out comes just a normal sized watch of normal weight, it seems much lighter and flimsier than my hbb for example...the hbb just looks expensive..the maurice lacroix looks delicate and dankey...but all in all i really love it, and i keep telling myself this is a real swiss watch and this is what i am paying for. My maurice has a diamond bezel...without that i i dont think it would look very expensive at first site. Its amazing to me that the maurice is just stainless steel watch and has a retail price of 10k. I got mine on ebay used for 6k with a 3k diamond bezel..all in all a very good deal i think..check out the ebay add: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=120367023227 No box or paper on this watch. Now that i have the maurice in my hands, it is a manual wind instead of a automatic, so of course movement seems very simple. Also i have read this is a custom in house movement, but in one of my manual wind chinese replicas, the movements looks pretty identical. The other negative i have seen is that in 24 hour period this watch runs around 5 minutes fast. I would expect on a gen that the timing would be more accurate. The positive is i really love the diamonds. I have verified that they are vss diamonds, and on this watch to me they look beautiful. I have always been a fan of diamond watches and since i am professional poker player it is appropriate for me to wear one. Bling at the poker table is considered cool and not tacky..think hot vegas night...I really love the watch, and if it werent for my replicas it would rock my world..the problem is atleast one of my replicas (hbb) is totaly more impressive on first site. I would really be curious what some of you guys think of my new watch.
  8. What we really need is a replica of that clipboard..can you imagine...that is something i would pay 300 dollars for just to crack it out during parties..hey check out my clipboard.
  9. You know, this would make the perfect watch for a football coach or that kind of guy...i mean look its got a stopwatch...how cool.
  10. So i actually ended up buying this dream watch yesterday. I had a good month in online poker and they had one on ebay encrusted in diamonds and i decided that it..i gotta get it. The watch retails for 10k...i have never seen one for sale used before..but someone had a used one on ebay a jewelry store, which encrusted it in top quality diamonds...they say the client never picked it up cuz he had financial trouble so they are selling his watch. The asking price was 7k..i made an offer for 6k figuring they wouldnt take it anyway..and they took it. Anyway really good deal thats for sure....i just hope the watch really does come and its not a scam cuz story is a little fantastic. The funny thing is i never have see one in real life so i hope im not disappointed tomorrow when UPS brings it. Also one bad thing about the watch is it is a manual wind (most skeletons are) i have been kind of spoiled with my automatic replicas. Anyway... i guess this reply is just to say...dreams do come true.
  11. Thanks for all the information. I loved the one second photo thing..really cool...wow... The watch i got is the hbb full ceramic..lucky for me it has a glass back, and you can see it has no regulator. And lucky for me there are many pictures on this site to compare. It definately has no regulator (a clear tale sign on the hbb big bang it is a fake). So i am assuming it is a 28000 bph..
  12. Is the movement suppose to be just a little bet jagged on a 28000bph? i would think at that rate it would be completley smooth..but mine is not.
