I feel it a suicidal policy by ETA... but to each their own.

Well, if anyone wants to trade some reps for a lot of MtG cards and decks, here I am...

Nice to read your positive experience with Tony's afterbuying customer care. But I keep my reservations about cqOut's customer protection.

In this case it's quite a while you finished working at WotC Red weenies.

Wow, 22 lines of clarifications about the Hamptons. Thanks, V & W. About the kobolds, I only knew them as Magic The Gathering cards...

Dial, case, crystal, they all are perfect, congrats! Personally, I think it's a pity that the movement -- even if an ETA -- is not accurate to the model. Especially on such a good piece under any other respects. As for the strap, I am sure all other member will suggest you more-or-less brown leather straps, so I'll submit you a black CF instead (on a black face 203, very similar to the fiddy):

What is the Hamptons, kruzer? About the Ferrari: I guess they have been a flop. I think I have a decent taste and I would not wear one. To have one in my collection, maybe -- but to wear it, definitely not.

Here is one I got for wifey some time ago and it looked very good: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=9033

Got the point, and I see your reasons. Just, when I recommend a dealer I'm doing it on an individual basis, not in comparison with other possible dealers. 100% of my transactions with Tony were flawless, therefore I left positive feedbacks for him. Still, his prices are often higher then those of 'our' collectors. And I had first-hand experiences on how great is the after-buy service by Josh, Andrew and Narikaa, so I'll stick to them when the price is about the same (or even just a little higher). I also have doubts about what protection cqOut gives the buyer. To me, it looks more like just a place to get in contact with the dealers.

Nice and with a good looking movement (a very good dagger swan neck). But fantasy. A 004 with 2005 dial and movement. Unable to tell about the CG on the pic.

Congrats, Stephane! In just a few months you have become an asset and an anchorman to this community! Keep up your great contributions, and stay well! :sss:

I believed it was made in SHITZERLAND... Oh my, this is going metaphysical! May I ask our moderator on whether can I make an auction about it?

Hi Pix! Me, italiano? Vatican City?!? Not at all. I hate soccer. And I'm even an atheist.

It's a connoisseurs-only thing... sort of truffle, or fugu... ... Wow! Please ask Maria not to rep this buckle... I gave a kidney to get it. (Btw, Sir N., any news on my items?)

Yes, it is a steal. Here is a pic:

I hate quoting myself, but I never made any attempts to keep it secret: ------------------- Eheu! Credebam canem in mensa latrare, atque Metellam in via stare...

Do you know the size?

Wow, that's true! Thanks for pointing it out.

Reviving this because of some new info. There is another card that can be found around: On a first look it looks correct -- but -- can you spot where it is uncorrect? | | | | | | | | | | | | V Look at the rightmost word. It spells 'PANERIA' instead of 'PANERAI'. Ugh, so another giveout! But -- wait a moment. What if I cut out part of the border? Here is the result: Does it look familiar? Yes, it is suspiciously similar to those three cards that could have been genuine: So... buyer beware!

I have a buckle engraved 'SHT-Mod Dep'. It is more than rare: it is unique. On sale @ $1300. Paypal accepted, but add 4%.

I exensively check all cqOut dealers on a regular time basis, and I'll stick to our collectors. I bought (and I will buy again) from cqOut only in two cases: 1 - Items sold out or not available anymore from our collectors. 2 - Items unbelievably cheap. About the latter ones, often those items unbelievably cheap are also unbelievably bad. But occasionally it comes out a good deal -- what the heck, we are rep geeks and we are able to make sensate judgements on what is worth and what is not! Anyway, coeteris paribus, 80% of the items are less expensive from our collecors than from cqOut.

About Panerai cards, be warned that 99.9% come with a misspelled 'certifiDato di garanzia' card. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=3370

Second it. Gaseous tritium would be a nasty thing to deal with.

Well, actually none of the so-called 'mini fiddies' have a fiddy-like text, they are named 'mini fiddy' essentially because of the typical overall look, domed crystal, crown guard, and so... so I was just wondering... should any collectors other than Paul offer a mini fiddy I might consider this watch... Thanks for your reply!
