IMO, people who buy luxury gen watches on ebay and are willing to pay thousands over internet just to save a few bucks as buying one on a AD are exposed to those tricks and are not very smart buyers. Even for used high end watches, internet is a risky place if you dont know much about watches, chances are high on getting ripped. Same as buying a used car on a shady blowout inflatable car dealer, free snacks and a pushy dealer can sale you a crap car if you dont know how to look at the on site details and damages. In the end, its not fair but its part of life, smart up as a buyer!. i dont get the purpose of inflatables in businesses

Hoyer!, learned that watching a leo dicaprio vid, as he is one of the brands faces. Curiosly enough, i owned a tag heuer since i was a teen and for the first 6 years i didint know how to pronounce it, so i just called it a "tag", and still do.

Need advice on a piece or something for my girl on her 30th bday
josecolon47 replied to loupeso's topic in General Discussion
if she does not have one in her collection, this is a bulls eye on the ladies. I got a one for my girl on christmas and she loves it, specially with the strap combinations she can make, and eventually those straps will be the little gifts that you can give her out of the blue. This is my second option -
happy 5 de mayo, this should be the watch for today, HB mexican soccer team limited edition. im keeping it classic

Received my 15706AU carbon diver, some close up shots
josecolon47 replied to sigfrieds's topic in The Audemars Piguet Area
buckle is way off gen has different termination and the "AP" looks pushed down on buckle, contrary to the rep. I also noticed the watch crown on rep is incorrectly alligned and on the case back, the screws are different as gen. I think all those details are easy fix for future runs. This is the AP Diver gen i was looking at http://www.ablogtowatch.com/audemars-piguet-royal-oak-offshore-diver-forged-carbon-watch-hands-on/ -
Is Rolex the Roll Royce of the watch industry ?
josecolon47 replied to alterego's topic in General Discussion
no disrespecting the GSeiko, but 5k can buy you a higher scale brand even a rollie if your lucky. Its like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, its bit expensive, its the Grand of the lancers and a unique car, but its still a lancer!. -
Its a shame how a $6,000 thief, doesent even bother to check the datel alignment on such a high end watch. And i love (THE GALLERY PICTURE IS A STOCK PHOTO, THE OTHERS ARE OF ACTUAL WATCH, THEY CAME OUT SOMEWHAT YELLOW DUE TO LIGHTING, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE CHIP) btw pretty harsh chip on a tough watch.

nice mod!

im in Puerto Rico, i saw a couple on ebay going for $80's and PT sells the galvanized strap for $50 without screw driver. I think im going for ebay as they sale a rubber leather with red stitches, nothing impressive but will do the job.

Hi, i am looking to see if anyone knows where i can find the same or similar strap for this hublot. The maker of this hublot is unknown same as the quality and buid, yet way the rubber strap broke is unfixable as the rubber pin insert ripped. Also, can i find the strap only or should i get the whole deployment piece? btw, as for the rep on those few pics, any remarks on it? price, quality. Its not mine but i wanna know how close or far away is it from a super rep.

comprehensive list of good watch brands around $1000 price band
josecolon47 replied to totalwise's topic in Other Brands Area
Hamilton, Tag and Tissot. Tag is imo is the best luxury for the price range, but these days tag's go $1,200+ for a decent one -
All i can say is that in my life equation, Metallica has been the constant, the rest have revolved around them.

chinatown! Ask the shaddy sellers!

my same luck here, life to date, the only rep til today that has never given me a problem except a loose screw is the famous pam 111 Bulls Eye!
-
update on my watch by late november, lost a pusher , now I'm selling it!, check the trade zone.
-
compared recently my gen 500M to a friends rep from pt, and i was amazed. One or two super minor flaws, runs smooth as hell. Pretty hard to tell gen from rep at a glance, and possibly a close up glance.
