lanikai

to put it in a nutshell .. early last year I mesaged and never got a reply... several times... and since you now have instructions .. I never "created" the opportunity to purchase from you... visuals would help instead of having to research.. No it's not laziness... MY schedule: up @12am Pacific time (-10 GMT).. sat down a short time ago with my laptop at the coffee shop.. meeting and training new workers.... paper work... leave for the other side of the island.. gym... lunch.. home around 2 or 3 pm.. By the time i get home I am in little mood to do all the leg work to order and do not do business if emails take 2 day's to reply.. i like to deal with real time communications I have just downloaded skype and will attempt to see what it takes to get online.. Joshua has a proven track record with me .. a long track record and has ALWAY'S come through ... I don't need to disclose the number of reps .. that is not the point... it only takes 1 bad dealing and I'm gone... that is what happen with a collector i dealt with last year.. I figure his loss not mine.. and did not make an issue of it.. but the way this thread has gone it has got me thinking of collectors trash talking other collectors on the board.. that is definately not right.. and how can someone talk of ethics and then slam with (Conjecture) another collector... collectors should stay neutral unless they have to defend something Collectors IMHO should not use the membership to springboard off of by using the competition as a punching bag.. so with all that said... if i can figure how to use this skype.. probably need a head set? ... I will attempt my first trail run with TTK... TTK are you up for that.. you got a rookie on skype .. but I'm willing..(trying )to be able to "create" an opportunity here..?????

it's ok bra.. and thanks .. will post pics of the double red tomorrow.. may as well go "all in"

conjecture conjecture conjecture more conjecture.. excuse me, but I am wearing at this moment a 1680 MBW that I purchased from my collector, so that must mean it's real..unless I imagine this moment..... I probably would have purchased it from TTK if the opportunity was there.. I have nothing against collectors... you are a collector..if you had them would you not sell them? and would you sell them for less than your investment? .. go ahead say no you would not to the above .. I dare ya.. I double dare ya for what purpose is your excercise ? I have to ask myself that... does it matter how you get to your destination.. swim.. drive .. fly as long as you get there.. instead of trying to pull discredit on this out of the majical hat .. take it for what it is .. an MBW 1680 .. plain and simple ... from the factory .. over the counter.. under the counter.. around the counter.. through the counter..no counter at all.. geezz.. would it be any different if I went there and got it myself?? Narikaa I am a customer you are a collector... how is anyone lying to "US".. nuff said .... "remember silly Rabbit... Tricks are for girls....oops, i mean kids.." edit add on; only time will tell

understood, .. if I do post the postage label I would have to block out so much it would only show an address in China.plus I could use any box for that matter.. so with that said...... it is what it is......... Aloha..... Lani

Is it for your curious seeking mind ? Or for the "benefit" (for lack of a better word) of "Who". and to put the postage on the board.. ah I DON'T THINK SO... why don't you take the path of least resistance ,.. get in touch with Joshua like TTK did.. I believe they reached an agreement.. what that is;.... you have to ask Joshua or TTK... better yet conference call, so you can stop the innuendo ... I am not here to be an investigative arm .. just posted pics of the MBW "from" Johshua..... not "Joshua's" MBW... big difference So, Narikaa.. I humbly say.. if you need to know Joshua's formula for procuring the MBW you will have to ask him this yourself; as I don't inquire into the business of my collectors business.... Regards, Lani

Negative... someone assumed that it was shipped from Thailand... I nor my collector ( to the best of my knowledge) never made such a statement ... it obviously has been implied, but not by me...I am not a spokesperson nor do i represent Joshua's business dealings with MBK in anyway ..,but I believe a mutual agreement with all parties involved has been attained . Anymore information should be asked directly to Joshua or whomever you think is involved... let's not start rumors on the board .. that would not be fair to anybody. How the MBW 1680 came into my hands was: I was going to order the 1680 from PC and was told to wait ... re: Joshua may be able to get me an MBW.. but it will take a little time getting it in from Thailand, I recieved the 1680 "around 3 weeks after my first conversation with Joshua.. IMHO ... i seriously doubt that anyone is going to"flood" the market ... The price will have to be discussd with Joshua and other collectors selling the MBW,.. I am sure the competing collectors have discussed an amicable solution to the issues involving the sale of the MBW's ..As for me I am here to "share" what is now available.. I had strong feelings of keeping this to myself,.. so as not to open a Pandora's box... but as we all are here to support other members so they can choose for themselves I thought it prudent to post pics and not a review,as I am not the authority on reps.. members offered to help and as I see it as only .. value added , i advised ... "go for it" So now you and I have choices ... and choices are alway's a good thing .... Thank you Lanikai Edit Add On: MBW Double Red landing in Hawaii tomorrow.. pics to follow.

I'd be honoured .. but your statement made me think you were bulimic ... i read: "I'll have lunch and throw up."..some side etc...

Mahalo Bruddah HB... Yes .. agree waiting for the veteran Rolex members...this will definately get a fair amount of wrist time

email joshua.. I'm sure he will be getting more in.. after he ordered it for me he brought in his "first crop" as for the price check with Joshua..

Grey stash ... feel free to jump in and free form this thread.. if you would like to ... I am up since 12 am last night.. -10 gmt.. so I am veging... wathcning ESPN.. go on ahead .. go for it.. Alo... make it a Team thread..

Just got my MBW Red ... 1680 from Joshua today.. and a IWC Inge... the Inge was not ordered !! My humble mahalo... thank you to Joshua.. Perfect Clones for his generous gift of the IWC Inge to me..it was certainly not expected.. don't know what to say Joshua except ..THANK YOU

I received my MBW 1680 today from Joshua.. this was ordered about 3 1/2 weeks ago.. he recently has brought this into his inventory.. I am in no way an experienced Rolex member,.. but I considered posting pics for the members that are wondering about the 1680 available from Joshua.. I have my thoughts .. but again I don't consider myself qualified to attempt any kind of review.. the only comment I will make is that out of the box my first impression was of it's "lightweight", I am thinking this is due to what feels like Hollow links and the pexiglass and not a sapphire crystal.. Hope this helps those who were thinking of going "all in" on this one.. .. I have no "buyer's remorse" .. I will leave it at that...

The beveled links on the Blackbird look great...

my bracelet should arrive to me within the next 3 day's I got my aquatimer about 2 weeks ago.. and my collector is sending the brace @ N/C you should be able to order it seperately

thank you andrew for your time and detailed info... great piece of work !!!!

Some members posted their solution .. can't remember what they used to "pad" the inner clasp but i was thinking in the lines of those shoe inserts .. kind of a polyurethyne cushion.. you can measure it with the clasp, cut it with an exacto knife, and maybe use two way tape to apply.. that way it will be invisible from the outside funny though , the clasp does not bother me in the least.. but the breitling clasp does not conform to my wrist as well as the HBB...mmm.. but your son has your Genes thus your bone structure.. try doing a search on the topic.. it's there somewhere

nice bracelet on Andrew BB though.. my replacement tabs are better than the original .. you'd think that somehting like the pearl would be the least of the flaws.. oh well .. move on

ditto... my collector is sending the bracelet comped .. but i am really liking the HK Tan alligator now, still it will be nice to have the bracelet.. thanks for the info yaron

SWWEEEEEEEEEEETTTT Auto CJ.. like the Bently style grill and the Ferrari style intakes... that is one bad ass ride.. oh yeah nice timepiece.... swweeeettt car though

Well at least they fixed most of the flaw's.. Just joking man.. that is one nice piece ... congrats on your new addition to your expanding collection of genuines good looking boxers and the snow is nice ... miss it, being back in Hawaii... feels more like the holiday's with the snow cover.. I can do without the cold.. LIVE STRONG AND WEAR IT WELL

blackbird with HK Tan black ash alligator deployment.. just arrived

yes, Joshua edit add on: he is out of the BCE-V2 . full gold they will be back janurary

Ziggy, I need to "again" let you know the humble appreciation for the posting of my 029 this past summer and your relentless work and," never give up", mindset towards making it whole ... this I need to do again publicly. As i have read in your letter you are not retiring from watchsmith work... but your (hopefully temporary) abscense from RWG will leave a huge void.. as in the short time that I have been here i have learned from your reviews and have made value added buy's because of them. I was talking to a friend today about watchsmiths in Hawaii and in general.. that the good ones that "used" to work on mechanical movements are all retired as the new generation of watchsmiths are good for changing batteries and resizing bracelets. .. she took her Dads rolex to a watchsmith and was charged 750 USD for cleaning and servicing which amounted to blowing out the dust and as you call it pouring oil over an engine.. I thought of what you charge us for full service of a A7750 and felt "Lucky" to have your services.. With that said .. again I hope someday soon you will return to conditions that compliment your ethics.. and again the RWG will have it's," Heart and Soul" Until that day comes... Aloha Ke Akua .. to you and yours (God is Love) Have a Blessed and safe Holiday Season Lanikai

thanks Man from... Joshua-Perfect Clones

... what I find totally Hilarious is the fact that after 3 or 4 months ... you refer to others as newbies.. ... what's wrong with this picture? is it because you have more post and in record time than anyone else? or you have more reps and more straps than anyone?... ... I know .. when you know valid points are made you revert to the.." I am going to ingnore. ...la.la.la.da.dee...fingers in the ear act.. ggeezz... or my long winded post which you should really read before rebutting.. if you bothered to read the opening last night .. i stated that I felt I was a sophmore member ... If it's attention you wanted and sought then .. lady .. you are getting it now... So you can "attack" and cut down others? you say you have the total support of the Admin?.. Is this dual principles ??? And please v don't even attempt to create an illusion that you don't go after members that you think or imagine disagree with you ... I have experienced your behavior first hand.. you think all this is being said because anyone is jealous of what you are doing.. give me a Fu**ing break lady!! You keep saying "real men act this way,.. or do this and that" ... Well, to me a "REAL MAN" .. you cannot handle a "Real Man" .. because no "Real Man" would put up with your CRAP the only people that i know that have to talk soooo highly of themselves are the ones with such low self esteem...
