check out repgeek and rwi. they have dedicated sections with plenty of glowing reviews.

Hopefully a fellow member has one for you, try placing a WTB. The next time you buy a rep enquire with the dealer if they sell them and include it with that order. I was under the impression dealers dont like selling and shipping parts. PT is a dealer i would check, good luck!

Just received my rubber strap from PT after sending it back a month ago. Originally the catch wouldnt allow the pin to slide through. This time i spent 2 hours modifying the strap and a little bit of the case to get her on. As those who have been in this hobby a long time well know a little modification is sometimes required.

Nice collection and welcome mate.

Thank you! That lume on your avatar is sweet!

That's a good price! If only it was in the US.

Hmmmm, I being a noob when it comes to modding I thought it was a more straight forward mode. I do plan on selling one of the two.

Yes, sir

Damn that's sharp.

Sorry, Lazarus was the man Jesus brought back to life after he was dead for 4days.

Yeah, I do believe you are right.

+1 I agree, the 928 S4 is sexy, especially with the fat boys on back. I miss my 944 Turbo S, She was a rocket! As well as a sieve.

Very nice Dizzy! You starting a Lazarus Project with old threads?! (closest religious smiley I could find)

What crystal do you have in her Dizzy?

I don't think it'll work but I bought 2 24-703 crowns and wondered if it would fit an Exp. II I just bought. Taking a stab.

The question is where?

Wowzzas! Very nice!

Old thread but I'll take a stab. If anyone knows where I could get a genuine elephant skin wallet or credit card wallet PM me. I've had mine for over 15 years and still going strong. I think they went on the endangered species list shortly after I bought mine. I returned the wallet because the stitching came undone (kicking myself for doing that). Something about having something no one else can get.

Fast shipping from the bay! They look good and now I think I will search for the DIY crown swap mod and give it a go. Not sure I would call it a mod but opening the caseback is the extent of my attempts. Worst case is I send the uncompleted job in when she goes in for servcing.

Well put, one must factor the known (Ken's quality and service) into the equation. as a longtime member who has looked around and bought and sold (online and locally) rep goods Ken is who i will turn to when my gf sees an overpriced gen LV handbag she says she must have.

I bought a couple last week to test the waters on a couples models. One to wear (Sub) while my 1665 goes in for servicing and an Exp II to see I i like it on my wrist as much as I do in my dreams. My most trouble free and accurate rep was a Narikka PO that was spot on for time. I swear it ran COSC time. I figure it is a great way to learn about modding. Might try sanding down the bezel inserts, swap a movement, etc...

Has the used watch been serviced? By whom? If not I would go new as Maxman said. If she becomes a keeper plan on spending around $125 for service and shipping.

Boy do I regret selling my EBEL 1911, it really is just about perfect out of the box!

I have no problem with the members and sub-fora at WUS. It is the Administration teams that has castrated the forum. Watchers invoke passion and when won cant be passionate and have an opinion about a hobby I love then why spend time their. WUS is run as a business, toe THEIR line, and dont dare question them. Sorry mate that doesn't fly in my book. Well mate you can't defend yourself on WUS. They treat you like a little child. I asked a question, post was deleted (they wouldn't admit doing so), asked again, post deleted, asked again and I was put on temp. leave with no reason why. When I asked about my ban they said you are now banned. They finally answered me at the very end. If they simply would have done so when I first asked I would of been happy. Totalitarianism just doesn't sit well with me and my personality. Dont expect for me respond "How high?" when you say "Jump" What sub-fora do they talk about modding chinese movts? I'd like to take a look. Not sure why you brands aren't discussed here. Could be they are in the price point of the reps we buy. Whether we admit it or not I think a lot of people would rather have a watch with brand recognition (we are only human). IWC, Rolex, Panerai or Orient, Prometheus, or Steinhart, take your pic. There is much debate about this on here I would suggest searching and reading if you like. Many, like myself enjoy the fact I can spend a couple hundred dollars and get a "Rolex" that has 90% the look of the real deal without paying the mark-up. I buy value and I don't find much value in the gen market. Add to that the ability to mod the watch with gen parts to create something that you spent time and money on. It is very rewarding. Don't get me wrong, I love gens but all you can say is: "I bought a gen Omega" "Wow, great watch, wear it well". Here it a journey shared by like-minded folks in pursuit of the "perfect rep" and all the fun, misery, mistakes that go along with it. So in the end: [censored] WUS! So come, stay awhile, enjoy the freedom you have here. Visit WUS where you can enjoy
