TW Best is indeed Taiwan Best.

KB is the forum soft goods merchant. He is tops for service and quality. Go to BERGIES sub-forum here

Sounds good. Glad you got a gen, when you expected one.

I've bookmarked your webstore. Thank you for pointing it out.

With a clone ETA so cheap, why convert an asia 21j watch to swiss standard? The hands and dial need to be replaced and maybe a movement spacer .. I am not sure about the last item. You have to convince a dealer to sell you NoobFactory ETA dial and hands .. blah. Why not this? --->>> http://www.timesshop...copy-2836-.html What do you mean the a21j is not precise? Does it need a simple regulation? How bad is the precision?

Thats a grand gesture. :notworthy:

I don't like to see any trusted dealer fall from grace, but it does happen. And it begins just like this; a slew of CSR complaints over the course of several months.

Caution: Reps are a gateway drug to Gens.

Or it could inspire a whole new generation.

That's absolutely true, Chief, but with Zig's current policy of "no new customers without a personal referral from an existing customer" there is little point in getting a new forum member's hopes up.

People are excited over the fabulous releases of the past 8 months. Rightfully so. These new super reps are dominating the conversations.

JMB, Redwatch and Hihooeyzedumdee are three members who have gone from total newbs to built-it-yourself modders in my short time here. Some newbs go on to great things, but everyone is a newb at first. You have to appreciate the process of growth.

For the new people out there .. from initial announcement to delivery, a "super rep" takes over a year to produce. See "v5 PO 42"

The one that's preventing anyone with a Eddie Lee or franken 1950 from being able to sell at "customary" prices. It's all speculation .. no facts are known to the general populace.

If this is a fake watch then it is the most extravagant franken I have ever seen. It looks 100% genuine to me, and does not match any known Chinese factory replica today.

Your bracelet needs to be re-textured and your polished surfaces need polishing. A talented modder will do a better job than the factory.

Sorry about your loss .. it looks like someone has been using scissors to open your case back.

Perhaps the information you gave them is making them re-consider their own opinion .. that would be Hmmmm too.

I think Chieftang closed his latest run last week ... you can email Vaccum to ask him, since I do not know.

That's not problem. Here is the area you need to go. http://www.rwg.cc/forum/230-watches-clothing-accessories/ You will find there the merchants for soft goods (leather, clothes, shoes), watches, watch tools, and custom strap makers. Dealers here have to be trustworthy. Anyone on the list can be safely dealt with.

But he is not trying to impress you. He is trying to please himself. If he has done this, then he has saved almost 500 dollars. There are many people who are perfectly content to shop at WBK and WatchEden for the low-end reps.

If you look on the main page of this forum, you will see a long list of trusted dealers. It's not a secret list.

The interior engravings were removed recently since 99% of people hate the way they look. (cheap and misaligned)

Vaccum (sic) is a trusted watch technician and modder, and is capable of 7750 chrono repair and service. He's also famous for his lume work and his new AR offerings. Look at this AP Volcano rep fresh from Vac with his AR and full service. http://www.rwg.cc/to...ot-hot-volcano/ To contact him, just look in his area here on this forum .. Vac's MOD Shop.

Are you saying that you received the exact same photos? Thats no good. A great dealer will tag your pics with your personal order number to prove there's no foolishness going on.
