  2. Hi guys.. Just wondering... how good is the UPO rubber strap from PT?............................any experiences with that? thanks guys, A.
  3. oh lord... im waiting for one just like that (white numerals)......................( i smell the cathalogs...), and i find myself everyday drewling in everysingle free shop of everysingle airport in europe while looking at it.. its just sick....................... my envy does not allows me to congratulate you A.
  4. Oh i like this..... im tired of all those souls that complain and cry and.....[censored].............................. [censored] happens..its a damn well known fact!..and to be honest, until not so long ago, my life hit the lowest possible level......then i got my grip back and know im living my dream..im still scared as [censored]..but i made it...and nothing comes close to that.......you have that previlege ...few people have it..........so, ill use the typical " [censored] happens for a reason"..mostly..cause it does, either you decide to correct that, or you just waste your miserable life trying to deal with the fact that you didnt survive, while others made it.............. so.. i cant help to feel identify with your situation, and mostly, i couldnt dare to read that post whitout sending some treatment your way. so here it goes (cause i wouldnt dare to ruin that liberating feeling you are experiencing..) : Soundgarden " blow up the outside world" ........... youtubeit, and absorve the lyrics..its damn refreshing!!!! that will make you feel better mate..and remember, only death has no solution..so, retaining the obvious message.. your attitude will make you survive and laugh about all this really soon..and that is a promise P.S. Hondas are like "quartz" ...they wont ever let you down..focus on that.. cheers mate A.
  5. Ha ha.... im a freak now.. i like this...... feast yourself: The new ultimate version of the 45mm introduced a wrongly shaped logo, its been said the feet are shaped like the older seamasters ..good news is, if that bothers you, well... you're just like me, you'll need serious neurological evaluation: Unless you give to the person that examines the watch a nuclear molecular microscope...you wont be able to see the difference.. so... go for the 45mm!..it aint all that big if you go for the rubber strap..and if that is good enough for bond..i'll think you'll do just fine.. cheers A.
  6. well..... i think they are posted..........at least, with me they work and i can click in the attachments in order to see them.. i have no idea..and i have to many movements in my brain right now in order to be able to come up with a decent solution.................................so..please, let me know if you are unable to see the pics i've posted
  7. I dont get offended by self preservation instincts King ( its more confortable to call you that after seing you with a crown.. ) cheers mate (ill try to figure out how to put the pics here......i thought you could see them) A.
  8. P.S. i forgot to mention, when i bought it and i looked at it 2 hours later in the plane..it looked like it had termites building a city inside the glass...im not sure if it will be possible to identify the comunity that lives inside that glass......... (its multiplying..) but, something is alive there. trust me cheers guys.. thanks for the patience A.
  9. By popular demand.... feast yourselfs...........
  10. So, the idea is.. im A total noob making reviews of something he doesnt know about..its like having a 2 years old building a turbine engine with a stick...this could be fun..though..damn suicidal..ill take my chances i've been all shy...all intimidated, and to be honest, rather scared of asking stupid things, or maybe insulting all those supreme souls out there..(which i can actually understand, cause its a damn pain in the [censored] to answer to questions that could be defined as being insulting to the lowest level..and yes..i was one of those that wrote " were can i get the best rep of......XXXXXXXXXXX?????" )..but... what the hell...we all are noobs in a first start!..its a rule that you cant actually bend, so...no bending today... im gonna be the all mighty proud guy that doesnt has a clue about watches (except for the fact that they are indeed usefull to tell the time....if they work..which is the second problem of being a noob..we actually buy things that dont tell the time and are sold as being watches..... yep..the painfull truth....been there too..), and I will make a review of mine entire insulting collection...in a very proud way! and sorry about my english..im making an efford here. So, my first story..i went to NY, and a very strange looking fella made the usuall " pssssssssssssssssssss....do you want a tag???!!!".. i actually paid 80USD's for it, and all i got was something close to the part where Jim of mission impossible says " this thing will self destruct in 5 seconds." it actually took 10 hours, then the first part of the dial started to unglue..... charming stuff...good news is, it still works..bad news is, a superior of mine said to me in a very monocordic diplomatic way: "please..dont wear that, its embarresing" ..point taken..... that was 5 years ago..and still..no love what so ever..even for my beautifull masterpiece tag heur monaco, bought on chinatown in a strange baseman Second one...a lot more memorable!... a pilot friend invited me for a long haul to Shanguai...oh that was funnn..... i was not a pilot yet, but... i just dediced i should look like one!... a guy offered me a "Vacheron constantin" for 30 usd..... i had no idea what a "vacheronihavenoideawhatthehellthatisbutitlooksveryexpensiveandhasacuteglass initwhichyoucanactuallyseesomethingreallyreallyreallyimpressiveeventhoughyouknow i tisntallthatimpressiveoritwouldntcost30usd"..but dammnnn,...that was cute..i almost looked responsible with it...so that was my second one.. then i decided to buy a gen... yeeaaa...laugh all you want!.. ( its a bit redundant to use "GEN" and "CALVIN KLEIN" in the same sentence....)..so, my 350usd went to the guy that made a fortune by selling boxers....extremelly smart investiment..(And at this point i think all of you should detect a bit of sarcasm going on..im just warning cause its very hard to be sarcastic in a foreign lenguage) ... and it works.... it does.... i think thats the first symptom of a "quartz" thing..it just w o r k s. ..no power reserve crap..no masturbations in order to make the damn thing work...no nothing... but...because of all of you here i went totally insatisfied!!!..............that is n o t c o o l ..at all....i have a watch that works and girls adore, and i hate it!!..just because you arrogant [censored] convinced me that it has no soul!!! ohhh come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn........................ why did you had to mess me up like that for god sake!?!?!?..its a watch!! i can refuel it each couple of years!, hell, i refuel my car each week!!...but no..now im all " ohhhhhhhhh...this is so automatic 28.800 god knows what ....so soulfulll.. soo so so so so..and it makes cute sounds and "wozzzesssesss" when i wave like an insane person..........." jezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......... (im not in the tourbillon freak mood yet.........that would be trully scary and probably takes more time and a suicidal action in order to stop it) Then i made my first impulsive buy...i didnt care one bit about your "safe dealers list" ..and yes..i can actually help you guys in this one.. rolex4U is from tony!.. fast like a damn bullet, cheap as hell....and it came without any problems whatsoever (the other one i ordered from watcheden..well..that one was destroyed in costums....charming stuff..but tony has sent a new one..really professional guy)..going on.. i came across in geneve with a watch that had a nice pair of 36C in it..loved it.. how couldnt i? the "6000 euros " tag was the low point..so i started to investigate and thats how i ended up in RWG... i got my swordfish with a very charming false chronometer, which i love and i use it everyday!.......... (the low part iis..someone probably got drunk and attached the "chronofighter" back in it........................................ im sure it will be very valuable one day just by having that cute mistake on) And now..well..now..... im decided i should be james bond.. i diserve that, and i never got the chance to pretend i want to kill terrorists...so im waiting for PT
  11. Congrats on both watches!.. im a bit jelouse since i want my UPO right N O W .................................... ! Wear them well, they both look amazing Cheers A.
  12. Hello Guys, Once again, its been a pleasure to read almost all your posts for the last month..its been a trully amazing experience, and my understanding of watches, has stepped up to a level where im no longer a plain idiot..just ignorant in a less insulting level.. Thanks to you guys, I just made my first "decent" and serious purchase, a beautifull UPO from PT (by the way..great communcation and fast as bullet giving answers to my rather stupid questions..A++ seller! ) White numerals, rubber strap .. oh..he's a beauty indeed......and, to be honest, its been 2 days since i ordered it and the waiting is already killing me, go figure...( and the ironical part is..i actually never cared all that much about watches..until now). Is there anyone right now available in EU for the double AR treatment?... I've read that some watches have somekind of restrictions when setting the date (which if done incorrectly can damage the movement) .. how does the UPO works regarding that subject? One last question that i wasnt able to find the answer for.. Is there any replicas being made with the 314L steel?.. or the only one used is the more common and less expensive 316L? .. is there any obvious difference between both? (visually speaking) Ill post pics of my new UPO once it arrives.. again, thank you all so much for great support! cheers guys A.
  13. Hi Col, Well, actually im doing business right now with Precious Time... that should save me some problems... I already contacted Tony so im waiting for the answer...regardind the "silent policy" ... thanks for the advice.. i wont contact them in any way..ill just assume the watch is forever lost... Very much appreciated all your support! Cheers guys, Alex
  14. Its a Panerai..and i played the "really?..thats a counterfeit item?.i had no idea!"....thats about all i could do..the law here demants the destruction of the item, so i dont think they will ship it back.... anyway...that wasnt a good start at all.............................. Just found out some good news!.... at watcheden website it is stated "We guarantee that our items will clear customs anywhere in the world . Confident of this, in the event that a shipment is seized we will reship once at our own expense." there is hope after all!.. i
  15. Hello People, First of all, im clearly a rookie in this..but each day i try to learn a bit more with all of you, and spare you from some rather stupid questions..so..ive been mostly silenced, until today. I decided to buy my first replica from Watcheden ... following your recommended sellers list.. but now i just received from the customs at portugal that my item will be destroyed....(( ... did i lost all my money?!?!...cause if so..its a damn bad start for me in this world... keep up the great work Alex
  16. Hi!, First of all, i want to congratulate all of you for a trully helpfull site. Secondly.. dispite all my ignorance about the watch world (replicas or non replicas), i really felt in love with a Graham Swordfish, and i saw what it seems to be a good offer for a great watch. I dont want to spend a lot of money, so i came across with this: http://www.xyxyxyxy.com It fits my budget pretty well, but, sadly my obvious ignorance wont let me have a good perspective about it. I would deeply appreciate all your expertises in order to tell me if this is any good...Is it a convincing replica? Any major issues compared to the real one (exterior mostly), is the mechanism trustable? How trustable is this seller?..well, pretty much all you can tell me about it would be deeply appreciated! Thanks to all, and congratulations for the beautifull watches i already came across in this site! cheers! Alex
