  1. The trusted dealer named "WatchEden" carries lower end replicas in great quantities. If a replica Seiko exists for the model you need, it would be a great place to look. I just took a moment and went to look at the Seiko Tuna. It appears to be a Japanese homage to the Rolex Sea Dweller DeepSea ... look at this. There are two outstanding DeepSea replicas.
  2. I think 99.5% of people will never notice the hands issue. You have done very well and made a total loss watch into a daily wear piece.
  3. I suppose it is impossible to hold the company which signed for your 2000$ watch accountable for its disappearance. it sounds like an avenue of inquiry tho.
  4. I use normal leather treatment cream. Like Lexol. Rub it in with a cloth and let it sit. You want it to soak in and change the look of the strap. Check out the Automotive store in your area. If you're out in the countryside then check out tack and harness treatment creams
  5. You said the watch gained 1 minute in 10 days. That's a fast watch, not a slow watch. Pulling the crown for 6 seconds every morning should do you. Alternately, you may know this already but you can speed up or slow down a watch overnight by resting it in one of several positions: Lay the watch face up to make it run faster overnight Lay the watch with its crown pointing up to make it run more slowly overnight. These are directions from the Rolex care booklet. So every night if you rest your watch with the crown up, you will compensate for its nature to be fast when you wear it.
  6. He got his start right here! I remember his first day saying hey come look at my strap photos. Hehehe
  7. Dangerous9 Straps ... exotic leathers for B&R watches.
  8. It all depends on how you set up the mic and how you adjust the gain in the app. Too loud is just as bad as too soft. Other than that, it works very well as a basic regulation tool. Of course it wont do Beat adjustment but hey .. it's 9 dollars. Now, if you know that the watch gains 6 seconds a day, every morning you can pull the crown for 6 seconds and viola ... dead accurate every day.
  9. I own Redux on DVD but the cinematic release is on Netflix, so that is the one I watched.
  10. and I thought Marlon Brando was wearing a 1680 but I was tricked .. I did some research and he's wearing his personal Coke bezel GMT with the entire bezel broken off. Just a fun fact.
  11. Since my wife has once again run off with my brand new 390, I will join the Rolex party with my Ziggy-fied original Eurotimez v5 DSSD ...
  12. Let me direct you to federico.fiorillo ... he is a member here who makes limited edition watches from scratch. Exactly as you are describing your needs. This is his work This video shows "how his dream came true" http://www.rwg.cc/to...ame-true-video/ This is his RWG Forum area here ---- http://www.rwg.cc/fo...atturafiorillo/
  13. Does the 088 rep use a 7750?? It's a GMT movement, isnt it? If its a 7750 then George in Texas or Vaccum in Florida are your men ... Katt does not do 7750.
  14. Well if you are really in NY, like your avatar says, then contacting the Katt is a no-brainer.
  15. It's good to see some fresh enthusiasm about this model. Great job.
  16. vandal.tbh - I love your sig pic. Some people feel that only a Gen can "give you that feeling" ... when the truth is that the feeling comes from within you. You give it to yourself. I get that feeling when I see beautiful watches. Rep or Gen..
  17. Seconded. If you will pay over 200 for a strap, why not the real strap? Flippers suck. Wait it out and buy one when the flipping craze dies out.
  18. Either a gen or one of the few reproduction Panerai Assolutamente straps would be brilliant, I think. Deep honey crocodile with a polished finish also looks like a million dollars on this style watch as well in my opinion.
  19. No; next week and then after that, several days to ramp up to speed.
  20. Normal soap in the shower cleans watch bodies and SS bands very well .. I suppose if you are afraid, then no .. don't wear a watch in the shower. Otherwise, it sparkles and shines afterwards. Know your watch is waterproof before doing this. Don't just guess.
  21. The quality inspection at replica factories is bad. Maybe assembler forgot gaskets in 1 watch and you buy this watch. Watch is supposed to be waterproof but assembler forgets gaskets?? Your watch floods. Always test your watch. Do not trust.
  22. Scan your replica date wheel then print it out on a variety of papers until you are happy with the look an texture. From the print-out, create a date wheel overlay and stick it to the Miyota movement's unique date wheel.
  23. KB (Bergie) is this forum's dedicated soft-goods merchant. He does sell glasses and maybe can help you. One point worth mentioning: if you buy replica sunglasses, always take them to a glasses store and have them tested for actual UV resistance. Some replica glasses are merely dark and offer no UV coating. This can cause sunburn on the inside of your eyes.
