Ok, so I was searching around on here for a while as well as on google and while I can assume that to use duct tape to remove the watch back of a rolex rep you fold it back on itself and try to get it sticking into the grips then turn it... However, that's not working as planned so I need help... What am I doing wrong? I have about a foot of duct tape, folded onto itself to about an inch length with normal duct tape width. However when I push and turn clockwise it doesn't budge at all... Any tips?

Sucks :-\ Did you ever get a replacement?

lol He's actually a really cool, calm and fun guy. He just likes to spoil his little girls and takes good care of her and her 2 sisters.

lol @Fidelstro, if THAT would have been the offer I do believe we'd have taken the check too but the thing is when we told her dad about the wedding and the date we picked he jumped on it right away saying 'well you'll need this' ORDER and this ORDER

Another note, apparently the reason the one that said he can't afford it is because he is in fact RobbieG from that thread long ago.... 90 in a 45 got 3 citations and a $314 fine lol (he's not really robbie but you get the point)

lol I'm seeing this as a rant aimed at me partially well the thing is I let her in charge of organizing it and her dad also (who has money) so he is paying for almost everything. But my point is I would rather not spend my hard earned money on a tux for someone else. @TeeJay I was hoping for some input from you as you just went through this we can't get the money back my only thought is to in a week or so send a more serious message to everyone saying if they haven't been fitted and don't feel they can afford it/ want to spend the money on it then that's fine but that they're still invited regardless

lol What's wrong with that? I wear mine to bed all the time I only take it off to shower and to wash my hands sometimes. Also to take pics but that's different :-P

Problem is 3 of us already have down pays on the tuxes 4 of them haven't gotten them yet 1 is going soon then there is the 3 that can't afford it....

lol he might be able to afford one of those :-P I don't think the STBM (Soon To Be Mrs) would approve however haha

On a side note about the cost it's $156 for the tux and I've offered them all many outs (I have 6 some people need to go) but no one is taking it I've sent out notices like "Ok I know the cost is a lot so if you can't afford it no biggy just let me know you can still come to the wedding but I just need to know how many groomsmen I have for sure" and get 6 responses within a few hours "I'm in man!" when I know half of them are probably going to flake but I don't know how to nicely kick people out lol I mean obviously they're all good good friends so what do I say? Other than, OH yEAH? well if you're not fitted then I'll kick your ass YOU b***h!!! Well I know Muai Tai, Brazillian Ju Jitzu, and a little thing I like to call "i nailed your mom". I'm so bad ass, there isn't one little kid in any of my karate classes that even wants to spar with me cause i UNLEASH THE FURY! Yeah I've got a small penis and nobody likes me, but I drive a porsche worth more than your LIFE so f**k you! Like the other day, I was walking down the street and this little old lady told me she liked my watch, so I said, "What f**k you! It's not fake!" So I went into karate mode and SCISSOR KICKED HER IN THE FACE! *WHAM BAM* Then I pulled her up by her hair but her wig came off, turns out she was bald! *GROSS* f***... old people. Then I picked her up by the ears and kneed her in the face muai tai style! *BLADOW* And I was like "That's what you get for walking so slow b***h! AND THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD KNOW MY WATCH IS FAKE, CAUSE IT'S NOT, IT'S A MODDED MBW SUPER DUPER ULTIMATE SUB, AND IT'S REAL! REAL I SAY! IT USES THE SAME MOVEMENT MOST REAL WATCHES DO ANYWAY, IT'S SWISS ETA, IT'S A DIVISION OF SWATCH, PLUS I BOUGHT IT FOR A GOOD VALUE, NOT CAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A REAL ONE CAUSE I SPENT ALL MY MONEY ON KARATE CLASSES, SO f**k YOU! OH, AND I DRIVE A PORSCHE WORTH MORE THAN YOUR GRANDCHILDREN!" *KAZAAM* Yeah, I showed her what's what. That's the last time she'll be calling me out on my watch. But I gtg, I'm late for yoga class WHERE I PICK UP CHICKS LIKE YOUR MOM! AMERICA!!! f**k YEAH!!!* Lol sorry joke from RWI I'm sure some of you saw it :-P

lol well as you said we 19 y/o's are pretty strapped. I CAN pay for him but that would hinder my resources that could go to more important things for the wedding like helping with a cake or with flower costs or something. The other thing is I could see 3/6 of the guys I chose being in the same situation (2 haven't replied yet) so if I were to pay for this guy's I would have to pay for the other 2 probably also or at least be made to feel bad when they buy their own. Then that get's to be like $600 (for 4 tuxes of course)...and there's some nice reps I could buy with that $450 that I would spend on them haha i keed.... I was thinking of telling him to try, if he can, to find one cheaper but like I said the problem there is if he gets one even same color and stuff chances are it won't look like the rest of ours so looking at us standing there (not that I'm worried about it but I know how it feels to be the only one out of dress) he would stick out like a sore thumb and probably be embarrassed.

Ok so here's what happened... I'm getting fed up with my groomsmen not being fitted and stuff though I've offered to take most of them to the place myself to get fitted. So today I sent out a text, partially to weed some of the guys who will flake out and to get them moving also, that said "For the sake of counting for groomsmen gifts I need to know how many of you are fitted I need a response by monday because this needs action" I got responses back but the one said "I can't afford the tux".... What do I do with this guy? I don't want to say "If you can't afford it you can't be a groomsmen" because that sounds awful but I also can't offer to pay for it for him AND you can't really get a tux for under $100 anyway for a rental right? So what do I do? How do I let this guy off easy? Or is ther some other option? On another note if the douche would have gone when I first mentioned it he could have put $40 down and made payments however it's a bit late for that now...

Edited to correct myself... in rereading the posts... I love this place lol you guys really know how to be objective instead of beating around the bush with nonsense :-)

lmao I like the suggestion of if the watch stops it's an omen... maybe that would kick the budget up a little haha (also kidding haha) I might just take her to a jeweler around here and point out some in her range that I want. My first thought though when she said 'well I want it to be something that will last forever" was uh oh well... "what are you looking to spend?" lol she's like "50-300$" i'm like "then you should probably stay away from reps..." haha

lol i don't think if i had an email written on paper or something that she'd go that far with it maybe i'll simply tell her what i want... lol i know it seems lame and i don't know if she'd go for that but these seem like we're taking for granted the fact that she either really wants to do this extremely bad to the point where she'd email people that i planned on emailing or i don't know lol... the other problem is she said she wanted to get me something that would last and would be something i could keep for ever to remember our wedding... So I suggested maybe rather than a rep maybe go with a seiko or something like that for like 200-300 since that was the range she gave me...Any suggestions in that range?

lol I'll just sit her in front of the computer and type 'rwg.cc' in there and click forums and just like *sit!* *read!*. she'll have to learn then right? :-P

lol Good advice however right NOW I have the B01 movement (Breitling's new inhouse) HD pic as my wallpaper and she's probably not quick enough to spot which watch brand that should go in haha. My problem is more I don't want her to end up just typing 'replica watch' into google and getting scammed haha and she's not at all interested in watches so bringing her here wouldn't be an option... I"m thinking of just making a large enough list that she can just pick something from and know that I won't know which she got me... won't be too hard :-P

How do you get your significant other to order a watch for you? Mine wants to get me one (a rep of some kind) for my grooms gift for our wedding but I don't know if I want to leave her to try to pick one O_O not that I think she's by any means stupid but she hasn't done near the amount of research any of us have on the subject... How would you go about letting her surprise you but still knowing she's going to get you a good watch other than meticulously teaching her everything as quickly as possible? lol

My god, you really get around don't you? lol

+1 There everyone here is constantly so generous it's amazing!

lol same here tb I was like 'oo we're going to find out what happened' then I see that video haha..

Has anyone ever heard of this happening in the US?

lol @ CJT Macro means close up the point is to get a jist on the details of the watch rather than just the over all watch. For pics just look around the forum they're everywhere. @ OP, thanks for the picks they show the surprising quality of this watch

Isn't the El Primero the 36k bph one?

Thanks for the tips guys it's been a great help. Cuff links sound like a good one I might do that.. I was thinking of maybe getting my one friend a zippo because at one point we were making a video and I lit him on fire haha (long story not hostile). But thanks for all the advice guys. Also, @whitestripes, yes I am haha me and the girl have been together for 7 years almost now by may it will be 7 years we were 13&14 at the time lol. I couldn't imagine being without her ever so I figured I should ask her as I can't imagine living without her. :-) Thanks for all the tips guys!
