That looks like a beast!!

Personally speaking, I think that Jubilee looks too knackered for my tastes lol Watch looks good though, nice choice!

One of the RA prototypes today

I saved quite a bit - awesome Clone ETA 2010 Explorer 1 for $127, same case but A21j for £54.80 (I think), and a tag carrera of some kind that I can't remember the name of now!

Nice, I love those cream dials

So far I've had several deals with him, all of which have gone through fine and the watches have arrived well packed and in ridiculously quick timescales - under a week is not uncommon! If the buyer is happy to play buy his rules and accept that there is some risk attached to that (e.g. Resellers Special prices being cheap but with no re-shipping if lost/seized) there are savings to be made, at least in my (personal) experience.

My condolences to you and your family, Ken. May she rest in peace.

I was about to say this was as old as the hills but the black-background posters saved it

I'm not surprised the dealers get things a bit wrong sometimes - when there's that many details to get right on just this one model, can you imagine trying to do it for the 100+ different models you sell regularly, and the many others that you might pick up from time to time on a customer's request?? I have no doubt that Mary will have carefully selected that model from the stall, to make sure there were no cosmetic damages, but I think it fair to say she will not know the details mentioned in the above post! The good thing about Mary is that she sends you the pics and lets you decide if you are happy with the model she has selected. In this case you may have to ask for her to source a different one which meets the detailed list of requirements above. If she can find it she will, she does all the work herself! Have no doubt about the ETA movement though - if she says it's ETA, it will be ETA. That's one thing that Mary has not got wrong (to my knowledge) so far

I would if I wasn't buying a new (bigger ) engine for the car and then having to insure it...

Boooooooooo!! I think it looked great! I'm sure it will still look good when it comes back though, by all accounts Chief AR should be massively effective, even only on one side

Woah! Is that AR'd??

Is there a ballpark price on these? I've been offered a gen dial and hands for €850... lol

That seller has a lot of old stuff that looks too new... lol what about this one?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-8-Days-Vintage-Mens-Large-Wristwatch-Steel-Case-/230548072472

1675 just disappears on your arm, and I found the 2010 Explorer 1 to do much the same! (I can't wait for it to get back from service!!)

The B&R Tourbillons start around £100k list price, so I'm sure that one will be cheap!!

ETAs / Clones are generally gold coloured, I thought??

Thanks for the help and advice all I guess I was just worried because it's quite exposed! I wonder how well the gen ages? I guess it's not an impossible task to change the ring should it need to be done, assuming the parts are available... I think I will have to leave one 'on the list' for the moment - they're all pretty expensive so will have to keep an eye out for a secondhand one!

Awesome, HD has a practical use!

I recently had the misfortune to try on an AP ROO. I say misfortune because I thought I'd hate it but now I want one... LOL Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had had any issues with the rubber ring/seal between the bezel and the case - being so exposed, do they dry out and crack? And if they do, is a replacement part easily available? I don't think I'd like to try getting those hexagonal screws out of the bezel... Thanks in advance for any responses!

I like your style My avatar is just my first rep - bought from Eurotimez what seems like a lifetime ago now! I don't wear it anywhere as much as I should, I think because it needs a decent strap to really 'make it', so I will have to look for one TBH I have thought about changing my avatar recently but I'm not sure what to change it to!

You can drop silix a line and ask - I believe his english is pretty ok

Woah! What's that Calypso beast?!

Silix is well known - he went through a dodgy patch but appears to be getting better, from what I have read, anyway (I've not ordered from him, personally.)

Does the store offer interest free credit?
