  1. Looks to me...on the rep the markings on the bezel are a giveaway... on this one the distance between the inner and outer edges and the marker are equal and centered...None of the reps I've seen (even the overhauled versions) got it right. I'd think is an easy fix for factories but maybe they produced fififillions of bezels already and they keep on using them. By-Tor has great, GREAT, reviews on this! Cheers Alex
  2. How's the Asian Valijoux movement it comes with? Any reliability issues? I think Daytonas with the same movement had problems Cheers
  3. WOW!! Those pictures are going to cost me another direct hit on my wallet...I want my Navi with a Bob strap! Looks beautiful...wear it well Alex
  4. How about....the movement! I started to hate Asian movements...I don't care if it is an Asian Valijoux or an Asian ETA wannabe...my decorated IWC runs on steroids...over 5 minutes/day. I'll try to have it regulated by a friendly watchsmith and let you know what gives! Cheers Alex
  5. os habent et non loquentur oculos habent et non videbunt aures habent et non audient nasum habent et non odorabuntur idola gentium argentum et aurum Jaeger, IWC et Rolexium Omega quartum (4th) habent et non confidit Replicatum Regula Hora Humus (Replica Watch Grupensis) confidet in TTKeus, Andreus, Joshuator et Precious Hora, auxiliatores et protectores eorum est PS: Gotta double up on my medication!!
  6. Absolutely! Andrew also posted information from 'behind the counter' on how the replica industry works that put things in perspective also. I agree, they do provide better customer service than any department store. Cheers Alex
  7. Don't worry...he tells the same line to every single soul browsing his lineup...even to his wife
  8. Or a LAWLEX Bottom Dweller (a special edition for lawyers!) This is the best idea ever!!! I want myt FOLEX...I'm in. Cheers Alex
  9. Congratulations on a stunning watch! Even more than cool...cold! Regards Alex PS: anyone know who is sourcing MBW subs?
  10. Agreed! live and learn... Italian replicas schmeplicas!...they think Italian means fashionable in the watch business too...these guys open up internet fronts for a year or two, scam a few and then close and open up again with a different name. One way to verify this was going to 'whois' and check the site registration record. But ever since I found this place...wow...my life has changed for the better... BTW, thanks By-Tor for the reviews and expertise! I used them to select my reps! Cheers guys! Alex
  11. Panda and bald eagle for me (feathers included)...protect the cows!
  12. Great straps, great watch...you'll even get me into Panerai now!! Alex
  13. I agreed with Jon and others who lend at least a measure of common sense to this. This is NOT a regular business and some whiny jerks demand the same attention, pampering and immediate customer satisfaction as if they walked into Cartier to buy a 10 grand watch. What is frikking funny is that most of the time they do get attention and pampering. These guys answer every email and PM, they give advice and do take care of their customers (read Jon story or many others...) I've dealt and purchased timepieces from Joshua, TTK, Eddie, Andy and PT...NEVER had a single problem. Even though this is a tough, 'irregular' business that implies greater risks for sellers (law enforcement, seized watches, customs etc) than for buyers...(a faulty asian movement maybe? that will be gladly be replaced) ALL of THEM treated me 'professionally' and with courtesy as a customer. In some cases, above and beyond, i.e Joshua is sending a black Lange strap for my Flyback due to a confusion in the dial colour ordered...and I did not even have to ask...so he got my second purchase (a 5053) at that time. Neil's piece (a 5th generation PO) was just as advertised, flawless replica...I'm wearing it now. We even had friendly exchanges about soccer...Eddie is funny when addresses me as 'dude', and his shipping from HK is superfast (got a beautiful IWC Jones decorated...) All of them, were at least professional and friendly. Andy's and PT's are on the way... Let's keep in mind that these are replicas...you want a 100%? buy the gen...don't want to spend 10G? do the research and see what are the best replicas available...there are great reviews and discussions on the quality and craftmanship of the pieces. But don't take the controversy to the dealers...Just like YOU and ME and EVERYBODY ELSE, they are making a buck...and I respect that. We are very lucky of sharing this medium with them as well as with other fellow collectors and enthusiasts...we get first hand, detailed reviews and advice from real people (not anonymous 'customer reviews' posted by the webmaster in shady internet sites) as well as first class, reliable, and even caring customer service from our dealers...In a business where crooks and scammers are not unfamiliar (should we go through the list of webpages? there are plenty) and where they are selling $1000 class A Swiss replicas (whatever that means) we have the luxury of the finest replicas available AND the peace of mind of dealing with reputable sellers (at great prices to boot) Cheers and blessings to all of ye in good faith Alex
  14. Very hard to remove those pins...assuming one figures out the direction...take it to a local watchsmith, spend $7-10 and save the grief!! Cheers Alex
  15. 20 mm... That's why I did not even try to get a leather band for it...it would have looked hybrid...I may get the 42mm PO but there is no 5th gen versions out yet. Cheers A
  16. Agreed! Someone in Nottingham is walking around with a bleeding wrist. Who spends UK$2000 on Ebay anyway? Go to an AD, not much of a difference in price for a pre-owned and PEACE OF MIND! Adios amigo
  17. 14% Dixie...who was General Lee? Was Colonel Saunders promoted? (lived only in Mass and NYC)
  18. What's the scratchy smudgy line at 12 o'clock on the bezel? Or maybe my monitor...? Looks beatifullllll! congratulations...is there a disease called Acute Omegatis? Once you get your first Omega, you can't stop watching at it? May I ask how many shekels/gold bits or currency you paid for it? Wear it on your wet suit or with your tuxedo! Cheers watch lovers and love watchers!!!
  19. I got mine last week. It's just great. Feels and weights the same as the gen. Took it to a local watchsmith to resize the bracelet and could not tell the difference from the dial/ face. The bracelet pins and a bit tricky and that's when he said "that's weird, the omega pins have indications on what side comes out first". He was impressed by the quality of the piece (needless to say he is a friendly watchsmith) The AR coating (which can be a bit light) is a small issue and was not pointed out. The orange color is spot on and the bezel is tight and nicely finished. The movement is swiss ETA so for the money, it is a piece one must consider. The minor flaws are really petite, slim, tiny -like the pins on the bracelet-. I'm trying to get a 42mm PO in black. Check the thread in dealer review... Just my non-educated two cents... Cheers Alex
  20. Nice looking watch! congratulations, can you please let me know how to contact Efren? is there a webpage?
