  1. This is supposedly (until verified) the first Asian copy of the Swiss 7751.. I am saying Asian on an assumption.. it has all the same funtions of the genuine swiss 7751,.. I asked if this was a movement that has been modified.. it is not .. it is a 7751.. It's initial realease is in the Alain Siberstein replication. does anyone want to go for the first generation of this movement though?
  2. I alway's wanted to get a block of wood and fashion something like the one that's in the pic.. but for the price I just may order something like that.. i would go for the wood block set . only because the other kits still need a craft hammer and if you don't have somthing like the wooden block .. that's an extra item to get.. looks like all you need really is the first kit with the wooden block.. that's a great price too.. Whatever you get it beats putting a pin through your finger..
  3. I was going to post the same plier tool for yu .. got mine on ebay .. turtle creations.. for about the same price.. it is the best .. took me 5 minutes to do the Omega speedmaster i just got. and they are great for the pins (like yours) with the tube inisde the bracelet.. i was able to order extra pin pushers.. u may want to inquire about that.. it's good to have the .08 mm pin pushers (extra) on hand..mine cost about 2.95 usd for the extra pushers.. u are going to love this tool make sure u use the right size pin pusher for the job.. the oversized one can get stuck.. so don't go with the same size pusher.. alway's remember to go pne size smaller than the hole
  4. wow.. that is awesome tourby.... can't wait for it!!!
  5. i guess point of origin and destination differ from area code to area code.. once paid duty .. and the other, had a parcel held a little over 2 weeks in SFO.. but bottom line is we still get um .. it could be really stressful if you are not used to the "game' though i think the only time confinscation is an issue is when you have multiple watches (same model) in one box.. sure red flag someone is trying to sell them as genuine.. or profit in some way .. yeah CT someone in LAX dosen't like your zip code and someone in SFO got nothing but rain on his/her trip to Hawaii...lol.. your right everyone has had the 'experience"
  6. thank you andrew.. just save me $$$ wondring when the new Montbriliant will be out?.. supposed to have a better dial..
  7. i ask if at all possible to send my parcels to LAX.. anytime it goes to SF it usually is delayed ; legally they can hold on to a parcel for XX amount of day's .. as they did with 2 packages.. they do not confinscate .. they just annoy.. conversly Lax gets it out "yesterday".. SF (for me) has a propencity .. to have the paper work done again.. which may take a day or 2 extra.. but again they will get it out to U .. if anything it will be delayed so don't stress over confinscation
  8. don't want thunder in Hawaii.. although I enjoy good thunder and lightning.. from time to time.. i am going to wait until baz.. puts up his post or review then i will put up pics of the 104 and 229.. anticipation is 99.9% of the fun...
  9. My 104 and 229 arrived today.. but U have honours baz, so I'm not psoting a thing until u get yours on the board.. maybe it has something to do with the temputure in the northwest.. or maybe U forgot his holiday gift ?? No worries I'm standing on Deck and will post Pics after U.. ps..don't tackle the post man or woman for that matter
  10. thank you very much for your assist DL..
  11. I cannot find the case number for the genuine SMP if anyone has the part number for the genuine Tube and crown for Ofrei .. i would really appreciate it .. or the genuine case number.. Thank you in advance Lani
  12. thanks .. urabus .. really appreciate it.. get well.. everythings messed up when u get the virus.. fo sure..
  13. the first version of the 7751 in the Montbrilliant Breitling is a 21600 bph the new version has the same functions as the genuine swiss 7751 recapping: new release 7751 movement (same functions as the genuine swiss7751) subs @ 6-9-12 with calendar capability functioning regulator... 7750's have cosmetic regulator 28800 bhp
  14. Sorry man... my time in the morning is short.. so i try and abbreviate everything i do.. didn't mean to offend... the genuine sites are starting to get a bit misleading..in thier "drawings" no doubt because of the large amount of replications being done.. getting harder to obtain genuine photos.. only alternative for me is to go to the AD.. which can get complicated .. I have friends wives that work there and they are under Japanese Management .. and are very different from Western management... so i would rather not cause what could be an uncomfortable situation for my friends..
  15. need to inquire if this is a modified 7750.. or a whole new movement.. if it is a modified what are the drawbacks.. only Ziggy can answer that.. but first things first.. finding out if it is a modification or a "new" asian movement it has subs at 6-9-12 with calendar ability.. More info: 28800 with "working" regulator.. the regulator on the 7750's is said to be "cosmetic" and non functioning... this would be the first 28800 asian movement with a functional regulator
  16. it was posted earlier that the font in the sub dials were incorrect,, They are correct.. they are not going to be the same as the other dials (new releases) I apologize if this has caused any inconvenience. see thread below for more http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=65420 Thank you lanikai
  17. this is just a "theory" on my part not trying to start ...umm .. rumors.. If in fact the Asian movements are produced at a factory that is operated by the "State" and they definately don't condone contraband then this could be one reason...and if cost production wise, the maker was to replicate DW .. with that, the Chinese manufature 1000's of parts per order .. for cost effectiveness.. even if they do not use all the ordered parts.. do you think their mind set is that it would be a waste and added to that.. how would that affect the cost at our end ?? and time frame on theirs if every movement's DW had to be swapped ?? I'm sure there is more to cause and effect that meets the consumers eye's
  18. if you re reffering to the Vintage White and Red Omega Logo...... it is accurate..
  19. agree.. i would have done it earlier but i was rushing out of the house and this is the first chance i have to do so.. already responded to Joshua the preview portion has an edit .. if you look with a magnifier at the genuine pic it is the correct font on the Replication.. just a little misleading at first glance.. no excuse .. the member that posted the fact that the font was incorrect mistook the 6 and nine as incorrect.. thatis my guess. I mistook your response as an affirmative..my bad..
  20. Seems to be a new movement released .. 7751 with regulator, 28800 bph.. anyone know more of this? . .. it was released in this replication .. from Perfect Clones
  21. no you are not missing anything BT i was going by another pic by a member.. I stand corrected.. this has made my week. thank you very much.. I willl edit my post later today..

Recipe for Acai bowl: 2 packets Acai Berries.. get them at the health food stores..(if you want a pick me up get the one with gurana root) 1 banana apple juice- 1 (measuring cup) cup Ice cubes ..not too much so that it gets runny Blend...all ingredients... top with vanilla granola... coconut flakes..
