  1. It's called age DT .. I am also feeling a bit of wanting for these 80s style watches The WM Patek jumbo I saw last week was somehow beautiful to me, and I don't understand my slight moving away from tool watches. I might get to try the APRO soon too, we'll see how it goes
  2. Nice watch, wear it well! Where'd ya get it? How does the movement look?
  3. I don't like the crystal on the new ones... Even though it is sapphire AND AR coated, there is a lot of distortion in it that just screams fake to me. I am waiting for the finepics super crystal.
  4. But unfortunately... the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long
  5. R11co.... we're ALL foreign [censored]s... there is no us & there is no them.... Yeesh You two should just get a room... Duke it out, or sodomize each other... Whatever ya do, just take it outside, will ya? No wonder there are wars
  6. I think it's a great watch and I'm sure you'll enjoy it for a long time! For me, I post whatever I buy, rep or gen, good or bad... I try not to talk about price... rep OR gen, it's kinda personal. I've made good purchases and some bad ones too LOL... Remember the mini fiddy??? Top dollar for junk I see no problem discussing anything watches here, and really, I find this to be more of a 'watch forum' than just a 'rep forum'... The amount of knowledge about ALL watches in general here is amazing... much more so than on most of the gen forums... PLUS it's a great bunch of people gathered. We all make mistakes, sometimes say the wrong thing or the right thing the wrong way... In the end, it doesn't really matter I find some of the comments here to Premiumdesigners quite offensive... You don't go calling someone a moron for anything like this... that's just completely out of line and in very bad form... Get a clue Anyway, enjoy your watch and enjoy swapping straps... Especially enjoy life
  7. Yeah, I'm guilty of that paid quite a premium for the Inge, but it's a beautiful watch
  8. Actually, it is a very nice looking watch, A tad thick for my taste and too fashiony for me for sure! Tried the gen on a few weeks back. I just couldn'tbring myself to buy a LV watch... I'll stick to the wallets
  9. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Admin THANKS FOR THE GREAT FORUMS
  10. My watchsmith is scared [censored] to pop crystals out
  11. You won't have any luck in Patpong and Pattaya (unless you meet up with TTK of course), but you can get lucky at MBK, but they won't have the good ones out in the open. Try the third floor.
  12. I may be wrong, but I believe the 036 did not have AR coating on the crystal.
  13. It is an excellent rep, although that one seems to have a bad date alignment issue... Make sure you specify good date alignment and you'll be pretty safe purchasing that... Have a look at By-Tor's in depth review.
  14. I tried it, it's great (althoughn doesn't seem to display the correct time)... I try not to use active desktop stuff for several reasons.
  15. Do you really want to know what they'll think? I know one thing, they'll be snickering under their breath, and trying to assess whether you're worth wasting their breath and time on... I wouldn't recommend it, at least with that model, and really... A rep is a rep and rubbing it in the faces of those who make their living from people buying genuine watches is in pretty bad form
  16. That IS cheap... but not mine... it has a sewn-in buckle and blue stitch, plus it's brand new... Awesome strap BTW
  17. It was there a few weeks ago... brand new It was a bit more than your straps, so... inexpensive V... not cheap
  18. Congrats V I'm almost batting 1000, gotta get more, and more, and more damn, I should have posted those mores in seperate posts
  19. You know, I have no problems withe the Steinharts or the many others selling 'IP infringement' 'style' watches... I really like Steinhart because of the quality I've heard about on other forums, plus I've received really helpful and friendly responses from the man himself. One day, I may buy one. I purchased a MarcelloC 'submariner rip-off' a few years back, it was the best quality watch I've bought for under $2k... just stunning and just as good as my Omega SMP and surely as good as Rolex (the band was 10 times better IMO). I would definitely buy another MarcelloC I also bought an Invicta (which was the leadup to the MarcelloC)... It was total crap (maybe I was unlucky, but from what I've read, I don't think so), the bracelet was not very good, there was something wrong with the logo (what a thing to go wrong, eh?), and the second hand fell off. I had it fixed and sold it on the bay... I did feel guilty, got as much back as I paid with repair costs. Our reps are better quality; Invicta are shameless slobs getting rich off the ignorant public (myself included at one point ).. If you want a good, inexpensive genuine watch, buy Steinhart, or MarcelloC, or Seiko
  20. Nice watch! Congrats and wear it well, although I am also a little confused why an AD would sell it for a bit over retail
  21. Probably one of the most knowledgable group of watch enthusiasts in the world?
