  1. Happy Birthday omoplata!

  2. The date is changed via the crown. The buttons control the chrono, which works fully. The chrono hands reset perfectly at dead top when the reset button is pushed. I am curious how much these go for. Anyone have a link for a dealer that sells an identical -or as close as possible- rep as this one?
  3. OK so it is a rep after all how much is this rep worth when brand new?
  4. Hi, This watch belongs to a friend who asked me if I think if it is a gen or rep, but I am not a big Cartier guy really. As far as I can tell -if a rep- it is a good one. The movement is fully functional and the sweep is pretty smooth -both the chrono seconds and the seconds at 9 o'clock seem to have a good sweep with high frequency, though I cannot tell how many bph. The only thing that caught my eye is this: When the chrono is working, the minutes will jump not exactly when the seconds hand crosses top center, but around two seconds too early. Obviously a new gen Cartier would not do this, but this watch is several years old. Could it be a gen and still have developed such an issue? Finally, can he take this watch to an authorized dealer for authentication? If it turns out to be rep, is there a risk they'd confiscate it?
  5. Aspire has them but I don't see any on Silix. Also, prices are kind of steep at Silix at around $89 + shipping. I recall people getting them for ~ 30 EURO but I am not positive about that price, so I don't want to claim that Silix is overcharging. If anyone has a rep DuPont lighter they want to sell, please PM me. Thanks
  6. Hi, I have seen a number of very impressive looking DuPont lighter reps in the photos section but I do not know what to look for to assess how good these are. Are there any instant giveaways on the reps of DuPont lighters that would be akin to the crown guards or magnification of Submariners for example? How good are they usually? Also, can anyone PM me or post here the link of a good dealer who carries them? Sub7
