Hi! As you may have noticed i am trying to make a purchase of two watches. The shop i've chosen is trusty guy's (Andrew). When i go to pay it's all ok until i check out, and then one billing service declines the transaction before i have been able to enter any creditcard number, and the other declines it because of (Error: 6001). The card is good, and there is no problem with making other purchases online. Help! Please!

9.5" wrist actually... If only i could say the same about...

Thank you for the suggestion. It is the first Omega to be suggested. I was however put off by the leather straps. Not knowing wether they are long enough and being unable to extend them. I did like the vintage look of the model, but it'd have to be a future purchase.

I got the replies from both Josh and Andrew. Josh's solution was for me to buy an extra bracelet at USD 65, and mount the links myself. This means that i'd also have to buy the proper tools to extend the bracelet which would run me an extra USD 68. So using this solution i'd be out USD 133 and praying a silent prayer that it's an easy operation as i've never done this before. Andrew solved the problem like this: "No problems with extra links.. I don't charge extra at all." I'll be making my purchase with Andrew.

I looked at it, and it really appeals to me. It's not all that big, but it's 14.5mm tall. Can the chain be extended to fit, i have sent an e-mail to Josh too, but you seem to know.

Hmmmm... I do like that one. I cut out a piece of cardboard according to the measurements, and it fits just great. Think i'll have one of these if the strap is long enough. Is the strap longer than usual on this one? Thank you for your expedient reply

I LOVE it! How big is it? where can i get it?

Any thoughts on the Panerai 341 Radomir? It's got a 60mm casing which is BIG.

You do speak the truth! I am not looking to go to an AD and have the watch pass as a gen, but i don't want a watch that is obviously fake, such as a Folex with a battery.... I will seriously look into the Panerai. It appeals to me because of it's apparent simplicity. I recognize that different vendors have different specialties. Who is the Panerai specialist? Please PM me if this is inappropriate to put in the thread. Thank You!

I have been by the Breitling dealership in Bergen, Norway and none of the leather or rubber straps fit. I need a steel chain that can be added links onto. The Breitling SOSF is a nice watch, but it was the square casing that attracted me to the Flying B as it is the only Breitling with a square casing. I will look into the IWC one Thank you.

I seriously doubt that they'd be asking me wether it's a rep or gen, but i dont think i am alone in wanting the rep to pass as a gen? Isnt that why people like Josh put so much time and energy into the replication process? In the case of the Breitling Flying B they have both purchased an original to replicate from to ensure the exact copy. There may be something about my motivation, but it is shared with a great majority of the rep-buying public.

Dear everyone! I have spent the past few months browsing the internet looking for that one watch that stands out to me. I am a big man with big wrists. They are 24 cm or 9.5" around. This means that although i love the design of the Rolex Day Date II, wearing one would prompt people to ask why i was using my wife's watch. Not really the desired reply. I have limited the search somewhat. I have made a few links to the perspective models below. I was contemplating putting in pictures, but i did not want to commit copyright infringement towards the dealers. Which, given the circumstances, is rather funny. The models are: Breitling for Bentley Flying B - Stainless steel, Black Dial Joshua Andrew I have found this watch at a higher price with Eurotimez, but their prizing eliminates them. Now both Joshua and Andrew are trusted vendors here at RWG, and I haven't found any review of this particular model that could tell me the differences if there are any. I was puzzeled by the reply i got from Joshua saying that i would not need extending links to make the watch fit. I have never experienced not needing extra links on genuine watch purchases before (Police, Omega, Gant, Seiko). Does anybody here have such a watch? And if so, would the original fit a 9.5" wrist? Do you have any recommendations? I work as a Chef Restaurateur in a popular restaurant. I work in the kitchen, but i am also out amongst the guest, and i'd like a watch that will be noticed when i greet people. Watches are wonderful conversation starters, and i'd like to draw on their potential. I would like a watch that's as close to the original as possible as i'll meet people who are wearing the genuine article. I might go for a TT, but a FG would be overreaching. Nobody's going to believe that i spend USD 40K+ on a watch, or they will believe it and i'll have the IRS crawling all over me. As a part of this i have decided to write a few postings about this experience. Many comming members have not made a purchase yet, and i think they will benefit from a description of the experience. I know i would have. With regards from the cold north of Norway where the temperature currently is below -28 degrees Celcius.

Hello! I have a problem that you might help me with. I have big wrists they are about 24 cm around (almost 10 "), and i need extension for my straps and bracelets when i buy watches. Do you know of any rep dealers that can help with extensions? My first thought is that the easiest solution would be to buy extra bracelet links, but i don't know where. All answers are appreciated. With regards Broker

Hello to all! I am from Norway, and I am looking to become familiar with replicas. I am not totally new to forums, but replicas are new to me. I am looking to purchase some items, and i hope to get some help from all of you. Best regards Broker.
