  2. 1a swiss rep dealer in Taipei Taiwan

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Welcome !!

    Doesn't matter in Taipei or anywhere else in the world, the rep Daytona .. even the top priced on is a crap shoot .. the modded movement is too problematic.. unless you get very, very lucky.. don't expect the movement to last very long..

    Even the upgraded movement has proven problematic.. I would suggest another rep.. and any of the dealers listed in the watch section would be good.. all the listed dealers are trusted and proven..

    Check out the Rolex section for reviews and the best reps ..

    Congrats !!

    Ain't she the most comfortable outta the whole HBB line, I to love the strap.. quite different fel from previous HBB's.. different maker .. and the rotor is as quiet as cotton falling to the ground.. :thumbsupsmileyanim: .. no vibrations.. great feel !!

    But .. I must say your backdrop makes the pic look great.. the contrast is awesome !!

    Not only great taste in watches but a square cut diamond also.. and by the looks of the lack of colour in the stone ahigh quality one at that :thumbsupsmileyanim: . square cuts are my fave..but the grade has to be high since it will show every flaw easily.,.

    Thumbs up for Mrs Ubi :1a:

  15. Calling all SOSF experts!

    in The Breitling Area

    Posted

    Im after one myself dovo hopefully we can get hold of something. Its been really hard cause I want a white one, and the last 3 dealers I have asked have none of the white ones left.

    Also a question for someone that might know, what is width for bracelets/bands on the SOSF, 22mm?

    I have a lite version that has not been worn.. like the one Plai has posted ..it has no AR and an Asian movement.. fyi

  21. This is why you should not post reps/frankens on gen websites

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    Well, all gen forum members are not angels either.. they usually sell questionable items on ebay, whist selling the unquestioning items on the gen forums.. I'm not talking about dials.. but parts such as tension rings..

    personally I never had the desire outside of my Doxa's (on the Orange forum) to post pics of any of my gens on TZ.. I can't find a purpose.. I know of a member here who owns a very sought after genuine vintage Rolex.. but never posted it anywhere.. he has shared pics with a few of us.. and that was much appreciated..no doubt members on TZ would raved about the watch.... respect to that member and I understand his low key approach and humbleness in his passion for watches..

    Like some art collectors it is for his joy and fulfillment to own it..

    but I digress.. some give counterfeiting a bad name :lol:

  22. New 42mm Planet Ocean made from genuine

    in The Omega Area

    Posted

    I like my 45's .. my black franken on divers does not really wear big..

    BUT .. the 42 would be a really perfect size on ss bracelet..

    As far as getting it perfect.. we all know what a crap shoot that can be .. so many of the parts are outsourced and then if just one is not right, like say the bezel insert, or any other of the many "cosmetic" parts.... waiting for the next version.. ad infinitum.... I'm not trying to be pessimistic.. just realistic in my expectations..

    What I'm really hoping for is that the case set is spot on..as a gen dial is almost a definite go..

    an if the AR is done by the same source as the UN's or Breitlings.. it should have the blue hue of the genuine.. but I'll probably send it to.. guess who.. :lol:

    As always we'll have to wait and see not only the final pics .. but the final product in hand..3 months can be more realistically 4 or 5.. but one can hope.. :good:

  24. New 42mm Planet Ocean made from genuine

    If your into the 42 mm PO, and cannot find a 4th generation PO, that is the only one that will accept the genuine parts for modding.. ther will finally be a version that will be made from a genuine PO..

    The release date is scheduled to be done in 3 months.. but we all know how the release dates go.. it is being made by the makers of the Big Pilot watches and the existing PO lint will be dropped.. as all the previous PO's have been made from pics and have been hit and miss.

    the genuine model has been turned into the maker.. to alleviate dealers getting bombarded by emails.. please note that it is being made and any updates will be posted here..

    So if you have been hunting in frustration for a 4th generation PO.. your grail watch is being replicated ..

    Good news for sure for 42 mm PO fans

    Mr mg..I send mine back for movement issues.. defects.. I've learned to take out the movement/dial.. so that relieves the burden of sending it back for crooked markers... or dust on the dial ..if I plan to swap a Eta 7750 in the watch.. no sense of me sending it back.. or if I decide "before" hand that it will be a much used watch and send it to Ziggy for servicing..

    there are a lot of variables.. but Joshua is really good about repairing and servicing the defects.. and although I pay for the freight.. he always takes care of it later in some shape or form.. I'm sending 2 back now for repair.. not a big issue with either myself nor Josh :thumbsupsmileyanim:
