  1. A really good dealer will get your EMS package to you in 5 working days. 3 working days is just fantastic. I've never heard of 3 days to Eastern US.

    OOOHHH That is very clear, thank you .. I did not know that Maria was the first person to access Nah Piek .. I always thought he had his own store in or near MBK and competed against Nah Piek. I appreciate the history lesson.
  3. Yes, it seems the factory puts on the incorrect case back 50% of the time with FM reps!!
  4. There is a review thread on this A L & S replica .. here I do not have one of these but a forum member states in the thread that he had the same movement in a faux tourby, and in was a 6 day movement. I have no personal experience with it. edit: After some research, I see this movement comes from a company named Tao International, and is advertised as an 80 hour piece. So much for 3rd hand information Forum member "sul" says his can go 86 hours.
  5. There are already Chinese tourbillons (both axial and planetary) and at least 1 inexpensive replica watch (108 USD) has a 2 barrel movement with a 6 day power reserve .. so why do you assume they can't replicate a 3-barrel movement? The British Horological Society's official membership watch is a chinese tourbillon .... 6 DAY TWIN BARREL REPLICA, $108 USD
  6. Again, I'm not poo-poo'ing the OP or belittling the earbuds mentioned here. I believe the OP and am sure they are great. It's the fact that Monster Cable has been fleecing rubes for years now, and that makes me mad. Not just a little fleecing either .. serial-killer level of fleecing.
  7. One week on LA Street Customs (tv show) the owner of Monster was in the shop having an automatic Segway dispenser built into the trunk of his Bentley, so his Segway would unpack from his automobile robotically. For people who understand that high quality HDMI cables should cost less than $1 per foot, there's monoprice.com I hope you enjoy your earbuds, they certainly sound like they are good.

    MBW is a store. MBK is a shopping mall.
  9. The 7750 has 200 parts so when you look into the back it looks like an explosion in a metal spaghetti factory. Your photo is a bit small but it *looks* like a 21j, yes ...why not look at a big dealer page and find it? You'll be certain, then. WatchEden .. home of the A21j !!
  10. This version with the factory Lume is no longer made. That is correct, but the no-lume versions are common to find on the dealer sites, and you can always have it lumed afterwards.
  11. I was thinking the same thing as hackr but the Malta cross is 2 guillouche lines high, exactly like the current popular version. That means it's too small. I agree about the ship on the case back, I simply commenting on a date window I have never seen before on a rep, which improves on the simple square punch hole.
  12. I was over at Prowatch Polo and noticed that their VCO dial had a trapezoidal and beveled date window! click link to see
  13. You have not told us what watch it is, so we can at least guess which movement we are trying to advise you on.
  14. Absolutely agree. No one can tell you if your rep is waterproof. What if your gaskets are ripped or missing? You have to check for yourself.
  15. KB should see your messages fairly soon and be able to direct you. He is in your part of the World.
  16. There are people in AU but not on a commercial level. They are forum members who are also watch repair people, not official forum watch repair dealers.
  17. I am using a standard aftermarket headset/mic combo. I have not tried the latest revision of Kello, which promised to be sensitive to a more broad range of movements. Revision 1 could not hear some movements.
  18. Agree. Let's get back to the lovable Popes.
  19. I received a Fiddy from a member here running +4 minutes a day. Using the KELLO iPhone app for timing watches, I was able to get it to a reliable +2.5 secs a day. Yay!
  20. You never know. Even Drew Barrymore eventually grew up and gave up the drugs n booze, and she was heading for an early grave from age 10.
  21. I've never done this but it seems to me that a metal putty knife would absolutely ruin your plate.
  22. Cartier Ballon Bleu is a great Ladies rep .. as is the Cartier Pasha Sea Timer in SS band (not rubber) Your woman needs to help you find this by looking at the choices, and deciding what she likes. Rolex Datejust with salmon dial? Blue dial? There are so many choices.
  23. Im curious .. why do you use a conical pad; I watched a few YouTube videos about pad printing after reading this post, and the pads are all flat bottomed.
  24. Looks like generic "California Perfect" surgery .. maybe she's trying for a Playboy photo shoot.
