    Last week's new episode had Hammond sporting a PVD Grand Carrera ... there's no mistaking that dial face even at a distance. While we're on TV hosts' watches ... I think Joel on The Soup (E! network) sports a Fiddy!
  2. To get the famous PORikaa, Reg must reach down into the belly of this tiger and pull them out, one at a time. That's why they are so magical.
  3. This post is in an obscure area of the boards and wont be noticed .. but for these great photos it deserves to be so BUMP to the top of the "Recent Posts" list!
  4. Check with Bergie here on this board (KB) ... he is the RWG soft goods collector and perhaps he has an EU drop-ship point. Bergie's area <---------------------
  5. The only issue with the rolex DD/presidential is as far as I am aware it only comes in solid gold or solid platinum. If you can't pull off a $35,000 USD watch in real life, none of your wife's co-workers are going to believe it's a gen. it's just a huge flag if your GF/Wife cares about being called out.
  6. Watchwoot just closed due to this problem. Goodbye $180 UPOs :/ Even if you have 90 great customers, the 10 crybaby moron customers will ruin your life.
  7. You know this is a addict's watch forum when the post asks about the Seiko. I love the light in this photo ... and what a beautiful girl Is the bald guy Josh or Andrew?
  8. Thank you Ubi .. I wish I had the drive to take this hobby to the next step. Maybe one day.
  9. I believe there are 3 sizes .. Ladies, Mid, and OMG ITS HUGE ... I think the one in the photo next to the Panerai is a Mid ..
  10. As other people have been trying to explain, the watch shops and kiosks all keep the worst reps in their stalls. If the shops are raided, only the junk is confiscated. If you go to the GZ shops, all you will see is junk. You have to begin bargaining with a shop keeper and explaining over and over that you want the "swiss machines" ... and then maybe they will send a runner to get a good watch from their locked rooms. From the way people describe the experience, it's tedious and repetitive, and you have to have the balls to haggle in an extreme manner (get up and leave then come back etc) to get a fair price.
  11. That's a beautiful watch. The improved case makes it.
  12. That's just incredible. It's utterly beautiful; front, back and strap.
  13. Chanel J12 ceramic, or Rolex Datejust with silver dial and roman numerals or perhaps glacier blue dial .... if she is afraid of the new Large Watch trend for women and needs a teeny tiny "ladies watch" If she is keen on the men's size watch for ladies trend that's popular now then the sky's the limit. Simple PAMs, SOSF Breitling in white dial .. Frank Muller rectangular watches... Cartier Pasha and Ballon Bleu models .. In my personal experience stay away from the beautiful but very poorly executed Cartier La Dona models, as the two I've seen were cheaply designed and plated brass, not SS. There are many duplicate threads on this subject .. do a quick search here and you'll see many many suggestions. Gioarmani review of the roman datejust in silver
  14. Asia 2813 @ 21.6k beats an hour. It's a perfectly good movement if you get a good one as always, factory QC is questionable at best. If you get a good one it will last a long time. If you get a bad one, the date wont work properly etc etc ... and yes they are cheap to replace.
  15. Ask if you get BOTH watches shown for that single price
  16. As Pugwash states in his amazing macro tutorials here, even pro-sumer cameras come with mediocre lenses. Your next major purchase is a good lens to go along with the good camera. For your "grainy" images, force the camera into a lower ISO I guess, and use a tripod
  17. Bump an amazing tutorial series for a sea of newbs. Look at Puggy's signature to find the other parts to this series.
  18. I suppose my confession is all about Rolex. I thought they were cliche and played out .. a poser watch. Then I read the Gioarmani review of the Eurotimez DSSDv5 .. and .. it was soooo beautiful .. next thing I know, I have one and it's at Ziggy's place being lumed and serviced.
  19. Good luck, B-T
  20. One of the biggest tells in the COMEX replica world is the "O" in COMEX. ... In the genuine watch, the interior of the O is squared off .. it has 4 corners. the outside of the O is rounded, but the inside is squared. Many COMEX replicas have a rounded interior to the O Perfect Clones COMEX search
  21. My white SOSF on brown leather deployant draws her attention. Come to think of it she said the Glashutte Senator Sixties was beautiful. (chromed body, white face, gold numerals version)
  22. Thanks Ubi .. I was going to say that the case back stampings looked laser etched to me, but what do I know
  23. Wow mineral crystal and quartz for 170 GBP .... at least it's a genuine croco strap. The same Miyota quartz engine in the Armani you posted is powering the Bell & Ross replica you see below, in my signature. For 65 GBP why not get a Planet Ocean from Narikaa? Sound as the Pound! Omega Planet Ocean
  24. Thank you <3
  25. Bravo!
