  1. Dang that cream dial swiss fish is a handsome watch, if I do say so myself!
  2. OH I see .. I didn't read the descriptions. I thought it was a normal A-clone ETA .. not the Rollie clone. I understand now. I agree with MP ... the Rolex Clone movement is known to fail ... if you want one, wait until it is reliable. Buy the normal ETA.
  3. quick iphone pic on a dreary, rain-soaked morning.
  4. Hey at least the 24hr indices touch the rehaut, like they should! That's something.
  5. in the gen the crystal is slightly higher the the insert and the insert is slightly beneath the bezel. You could stop where you are or go the slightest hair more.
  6. You should ask .. the price is obviously a mistake. It should be +50usd at least for the real ETA and I do not know if this is a good replica; I have never held one.
  7. Many members here believe that the only difference between Asia copy ETA and real ETA is Asia copy is probably needing a Service from a watchsmith very badly to clean and oil properly. Truthfully, if you want to keep a watch for a long time, you should service the real ETA too! Otherwise they are the same ..
  8. The "50" and the "15" are certainly reason to complain .. but the dust under the crystal is just part of the replica watch game. Your expectations are too high in that area. You get a workable watch, and get it brought up to snuff locally. That's how it works. You're not going to get a watch as good as the "real" version. That's just reality. As someone already said .. why are you looking at a rep with a 10x loupe searching for flaws?
  9. Our own Narikaa originally discovered the NoobMariner and offers an LV version. Why not send him a PM regarding movement options?
  10. The hour marker rings are so slim and beautiful. It just needs a pearl dome ... I just noticed the OGEV and RLS look *perfect* in their positioning. That's a first, for me .. I've never seen one so good. doh but I also noted the end link fit. You could fly an airplane thru that gap.
  11. KB is the member here who runs a soft goods replica storefront. He can get LV wallets and probably anything else you want. See my other post in your other thread answering this same question.
  12. aoobuy was closed down .. and trevorgoods is not working. the site throws a server error.
  13. When I was a boy, my Grandfather worked in New York City .. near the real Canal Street area! So he would sometimes bring home a watch from the vendors there. And once or twice he gave one to me. So I was hooked. I was a watch person. If only I knew what kind of watch he loved, I would get one for him .. he's 86 so .. I guess I should find out.
  14. I love the black and dark red combination. I want to put a dark red leather strap on my PVD BR 02.
  15. There are two real choices for modern Submariners ... the best inexpensive Sub (the NoobMariner) and the best expensive Sub (the WM9 factory Submariner in either LV or regular black). I'm not exaggerating here .. if you want "the best modern Sub" then you want either a Noob or a WM9 ... end of story. Both are excellent. One is almost perfect. Hence the price difference. There's a member here in the US who mods stock Noobmariners to improve the look and reliability. Look here .. stock Noobs are between 90 and 300 USD depending on where you buy and what movement you want inside of it. Modded watches are more. As for the WM9 watches, talk to blkm123 here on this forum. He's the USA merchant for WM9 factory. Look to spend $600++
  16. The same thing happened to my Pasha .. owners please put thread locking liquid on your screws!! .. it's a very common issue. Luckily, my rep merchant was able to source a replacement for a couple USD per assembly. (tube and screw). Note that different diameters of Cartier Pasha tubes exist. In actuality, there is only 1 screw .. the other "screw head" is part of the tube.

    Great new shirt selection posting, Ken, but I think you forgot to price it?

  18. As TwoTone says .. Bergie/Kenberg/Ken/KB is one of the top forum softgoods merchants. He has his own area of the forum .. here. He can get most anything but some pictures are here. As a matter of fact, he just posted a HUGE new selection of men's shirts.
  19. Member bklm123 is the official supplier of WM9 factory watches for "forum people" ... as far as I know, the factory owner dislikes "forum people" because they are too picky/crazy Send him a PM.
  20. It's a bone-stock 300hp 4.2L .. but I have to say that since the car is entirely aluminum from front to back, it drives like it has more. It's about the same weight as an A6, which is a much smaller vehicle. And yes .. m'tek really got this right .. it's not obnoxious at all when cruising but it is nicely angry when you bury your foot in the accel.
  21. This is my car .. it's an A8. Seen here, it's going up on a chassis dyno at an Audi member's club. It has a Miltek exhaust from the UK and custom 2-piece front rotors that shave 13 pounds off each corner. Clear side markers, and front corners of course!
  22. Im going to vote for the SuperOcean Steel Fish .. *very* stylish but not too thick in profile, and certainly pool-proof! It looks good at dinner, at a fancy place or on the beach in the Ocean! Cream dial is my favorite. Props to Redwatch for the photo
  23. Proplof has trouble right now. The crystal breaks in many of them. Wait until Factories fix the problem before you buy one.
