Oddly enough there was **not** a lot of snow! The problem was that the trees still have all their leaves, and the leaves caught so much snow on them that the branches could not take the load. We only received 4 inches of snow here, but 800,000 homes are without power due to falling trees and branches taking out power lines and ultimately 16 power sub-stations. I could post pictures but all the snow is gone now .. LOL! But people might be without power for another week in some parts of the state (CT) ... If the trees had been bare, this would simply not have happened. BTW my Internet service came back up 30 minutes ago, so Im cruising the forum The cable Internet was on the ground and wrapped around fallen limbs several houses up the street from me until this evening.

Send a PM to KB He is the dedicated soft goods merchant. If it exists, he can find it.

If the Porsche diver is bad as he says, buy a rep planet ocean to dive, instead of your gen!

Wow first a 900$ timer and now a professional ultrasonic cleaner! Someone is very serious about their hobby.

I was without power for 48 hours here, but now it's back up and running. Good to see everyone.

People are confusing the 2 year old 3135 rep with the new one. The old one is just an ETA movement with applied decoration. Of course it adjusts the same as an ETA. It is one.

Hi ... are these chrono watches or normal 3-handed watches?

He was gone for several months but came in last week for the wristies or something. I definitely saw him.

Thank you for the warnings, R ... nasty consequences.

Im glad you were able to fix it. Good job.

Welcome back, and hope you are back on your feet soon.

Kent Parks has a reputation for taking a veeeery long time, and not replying to inquiries. He does good work, tho.

Those are all great watches. I'm glad to have helped.

The Noobfactory DSSD, GMT IIc, Sub, Sub LV, Ceramic Sub .. all come in under-$100 versions in a21j ... they are the same watch as the $300 versions but have the cheapest automatic movement instead of the most expensive. Anyone who says every $80 rep watch is junk doesn't know what they are talking about.

I'm still wearing the POrikaa ... so comfortable.

Can I just mention that your first link ... PerfectXclones is a scam site.

The "Rolex DeepSea" on your dealer's site is a hideous abortion. It is a $40 replica at best. Pure "Canal Street" in accuracy. For the $155 they are asking for it, you could get a very good one with the same Asia 21j movement that's in their watch. For $60 more, you could have it with a chinese ETA clone swiss movement. There are too many problems with this watch to type them all out, but if you are really interested I can do that.

Bergie's LV wallet in Utah Leather has served me well for over two years now and is a beautiful piece. For 30 or 40 dollars are you even going to get an actual leather wallet or will it be plastic coated PU "leather" ... In this photo the wallet is already 6+ months old so it is a bit stretched from my cards, etc .. but you can see how nice it is. After 2 years, there is not 1 popped stitch.

Today I wore my old POrikaa (Narikaa 42mm Planet Ocean), recently serviced by The Katt Still a great value rep @ about 100 USD ...

I suppose people who are not from the USA will be unfamiliar with the saying but when you "sell someone the Brooklyn Bridge" you have taken advantage of their naiveté ... So for a watch with the Brooklyn Bridge on the case back ..... this is very fucking hilarious.

Where are you in the World? In the USA, I'd go to Vaccum's area here on this forum. He is a lume artist and a watch tech.

It depends ... some do and some do not. Many Noobfactory watches come in a21j, clone, ETA, and fake 3135 ... all the same high quality parts, otherwise. Not all watch families are like that tho. You have to find out on a case by case basis.

The normal movements can go to Katt's watch repair (midwest) on RWI .. the chronos can go to Vaccum (florida) or George (texas) (he is on rwi)

Welcome to the hobby! Have fun with it. Read all you can, and learn lots of great stuff.
