thanks for clearing this up for us Pr.. I think members were wondering since the majority of your posts were for selling watches..which is not a bad thing for both parties.. it save some from customs issues for sure.. hope everything works out with miket.. as I'm sure it will AC/Lani

Congrats.. and great pics.. thanks for taking the time to post them.. I like the leather.. but I'm in agreement with Ubi.. the bracelet is a nice option to have for the summer months.. Live Strong and Wear it Well!! \AC/Lani

Ying and Yang.. yam yong sau.. night and day....life and death.. rebirth.. such is the nature of the Universe..

the rep is actually due out this month or next.. a genuine was used as sample Review to follow.. SOP

Interesting that you bring this topic up.. I was looking at what I named the UbiPilot.. and was going to slap it on today.. it's not about the branding for me as much as the design of a given piece.. ergo the Ubipilot is a sterile piece that has much character.. it still is a replica in the pure sense of the word.. but then if your concerned about "fakes" you'll miss a lot of great reps..in my humble opinion..

Gracias a mi amigo it's been great conversing with ya on the PM Plai.. I understand that Spain is accountable for the most rep sales on your side of the Planet.. with that said.. I think we would all love to see "one day" out of your daily routine.. for an upcoming addition of the newsletter at least the scenery and food stuff. along with any watch shops.. I notice your wearing a SABS on your sig.. good shtuff .. looks good brah !!!No timeline for the newsletter.. but give us on this side of the planet some pics and a write up of your daily routine.. looking forward to it.. so we can get to now the diversity of the brotha from Spain originally from the Falcon Nation.. my AR bill comes close in a percentage to watches.. but I equate the monies spend with the experiences and not the material worth .. such is my thought's on this community.. For every dolla spend there is a 100 given back in life experiences.. not all great.. but without ugly there would be no beauty in life Really Huh?? .. "Just one more" should be stamped on our foreheads each watch each mod has a story of this community ..it's taken me through tough times like a true friend.. RWG is much more than what we slap on our wrists.. The real thanks is mine to give J.. so true.. so true... Hey MOP.. aren't you supposed to be working on the newsletter . . .. thank you.. This is a great way to start the day with you all and a cup of coffee.. LIFE IS GOOD TODAY.. thank you all for the kind Words!!!!

Also Panatime..strap dealer here on RWG .. he also sells the faux spring bars.. screws/tubes..

Great thought's All.. it's not like we all woke up one morning with the thought that we're going to become hypnotized with the symphony of the mechanical movement..I think we all had a fascination with watches and clocks from a very young age.. staring at the local drug store counters at a Timex or Seiko.. walking past the jewelers window with you family at the mall gawking at the display window with those beautiful Rolex, Bulova, Omega watches.. so close but so out of reach.. and like Nanuq states .. even as an adult.. here for the first time .. a member telling you to : "just take out the movement and do it yourself",.. how fricken Alien is that to think that you would be able to do it.. and then the first time you actually swapped a crystal.. which at one time seemed as far fetched as climbing Mt Everest.. I think the defining point is when you actually do even the smallest of fixes.. like reattaching the hands or simply removing the crown and the movement..the natural high of actually accomplishing the smallest of tasks.. but without the support of this community ... at least I for one would of given up the journey, out of a sense that it was not as rewarding..which would of been one adventure in my life that I would have missed out on a great deal of friendships and camaraderie had I just bought one watch, as was my thought when coming here.. All I can say is for those who leave after one watch.. . . . ya dunno what your missing out on.. edit add:.. btw.. kruzer is the king of multiple journey's.. more projects than NASA and the State Department have going on at one time.. the most frequent flier miles of anyone on the board.. bar none.. Ubi ..the architect of the projects.. gives us our marching orders with his "recipes" .. tech adviser to all ..

What you need to take a look at is the movement and case back.. this may help you >Here and my speedy is Cal. 861.. from the early 70's.. hard to tell what is going on with any gen unless you got a pic of the movement.. there is usually good reason why sellers "don't wanna do this"..

. . . by the way.. . . just go replace it with a gen.. sorry JJ.. I just busted out laughing with that one.. I'm sure the dealer will replace the defect..

As Toad has alluded to.. the dealers listed on RWG are all proven and trustworthy.. you are correct about buying online in general.. that is why this forum was founded by Member #1 years ago and under a different Domain name, so the history of RWG goes back a ways.. The AP's now have the correct seconds @12, and the rep world in general has taken great leaps in the past 2 years..the Super Reps are just that compard to their counterparts of 4 years ago. Look here at one of the Main dealers offerings for AP's >Here Go to the watch, accessories and clothing for all dealers and tools>Here the dealers all insure that you receive your watch so there is no risk of loosing your money.. there always is a calculated risk but all of our members in Canada have not had issues with ordering watches from China.. You may want to check with Joshua from Perfect Clones.. as he has contacts in the EU and elsewhere that serve as middle men for deliveries.. his email addy is: perfec88clones@gmail.com you can inquire directly with him.. and I'm sure he will guarantee your delivery.. Holla if you need further assistance.. AC/Lani

Is Florida a usual stop in the migratory path of these birds?? I can't help revisiting the pics.. like I said.. I've only seen them in paintings.. they are majestic creatures..

Every time I read a thread by a member regarding how exciting their first purchase is .. and I still get excited.. I keep wondering about the fascination with reps.. we already are enthralled with watches period.. and most of us have genuine models ... and the genuine should do it right ?? I mean they are the real deal.. But for me I tend to wear my reps and frankens about 90% more of the time.. I'll wear my gens into AD's and places that are apropos for them.. but I really LOVE my frankens and super reps..more like they are special to me over the gens..especially when friends here have a hand in supporting the frankens. Reps do have a mystique that bellies the fact that they are just watches.. I mean the genuine are watches, and genuine at that.. so why do I gravitate to the reps.. because truthfully with all the reps I've bought I could have a bigger collection of genuine.. for every 4 high end frankens.. that could buy a gen IWC 3717...you get my drift.. So the mystique could very well be the fact that it is bottom line, an illicit hobby?and part of the thrill is receiving them.. or that replicating the gen especially the vintage Rolex line or the Panerai brand is a challenge and also very hard to get some of the parts.. and man being a hunter by nature.. or predator,it's innately what we do .. Or to be crude.. getting over on the brands that rape the world with pricing and control.. maybe control is a better angle.. that I can control something that would be out of reach normally.. My gen But I enjoy and wear my Ubifranken 9411 more Now most of you are better versed with semantic.. and putting thought's on paper.. I'd like to hear "why the fascination" with reps?? thanks for your time.. AC/Lani

I could imagine your first impression outta the box.. for a first rep you did pick one of the all time best !!!! bet you were floored by the Quality of a "rep".. with the 3719 Slevin??? And for your first rep post you went the yard!!! Like myself and many others there is some fascination and mystique to replications.. This is just the beginning OS.. because there is really no end.. The Journey is much greater than the destination.. once you arrive at the end.. all it is ..... Is a New beginning... Live Strong and Wear it Well AC/Lani
