Congrats and here is to many more posts in the future.

+1 for PW, master of macro tips.

I've seen a Cellini Prince for $50 on one of the billion questionable rep dealer sites out there, so they do make a rep ... but it's probably crap. Here's the rep. Stainless Steel only, no gold.

The only complaint I have of the "iphone version" (ip.board lo-fi) of RWG is the absence of a "view new posts" link ... unless I just cant see it.

PP can generate single use only CC numbers to use at merchants who don't accept normal PayPal. So you are in essence giving them PayPal's CC number, not yours AND it is only good for one use so it can never be stolen and abused. Never use your own CC numbers on the Internet.

Before I found RWG, my first rep purchase was the B&R 01-94 in my sig photo. I paid for automatic and got quartz. At least it keeps perfect time

Really nice work. Keep going!

Glashutte Senator Sixties is a well-loved and well-reviewed pure dress watch on this forum. It's also one of the best rep values out there. A true classic and well-executed. reference for the gen RWG photo review of this watch

An ETA factory in Asia is still an ETA factory. They dont change their quality dependent on the Country in which they are located.

I bought a Pasha Seatimer (all SS, no black rubber and the newer detailed, raised dial) from another member here, and the Mrs was initially not feeling the vibe but now the only time she doesn't wear it is in bed! She just had to get used to the 40mm size and then it was Love.

I was thinking the same thing .. too old to be a model. +1 vote for probably local news

Altho the DSSD is a thick watch (as fakemaster says), it isn't necessarily a very big watch. It sits quite high on your wrist but it's not apple-sauce-jar-lid huge.

I think josh has solid brass balls to charge people extra for fixing a glaring error .. a huge honking error wearing a silly hat while waving flags.

I disagree with MMA .. my first rep was a B&R 94-01 and people asked me if my KIDS (they are 11) got it for me as a present. no one can wear a B&R rep day to day and expect anyone to recognize it as a multi-thousand dollar watch. My grandmother asked me if I got it at Target!! I bought it becasue I loved it's look.

Thanks Plaifender so there you have it ... according to the By-tor review I was trying to reference, the current "ultimate" SMP replica is terrible. The good one from 2 or 3 years ago was replaced with the bad current version, which you received.

I could swear there's a good photo review of the wave dial SMP here .. it might be between 1 and 2 years old. Chasing that review down should net you the information needed to score a really good wave dial

That looks like a POrikka .. the $100 USD 42mm PO from Narikaa dealer. It might be my imagination but it does not look very large .. and the 45.5 UPO looks ***big***

Congrats on a delicate job well-done. I understand those are easy to break.

Wow, you don't normally expect that rapid a response at 2 in the morning! I'm just glad I could help.

Hey, if this turns out right, I'll get a copy for myself too! I love tech literature.

A quick Google search turned up a warm link to the email address of the person who distributes this hardcover book .. the link is only from Oct 2009, so it should still be good. http://mb.nawcc.org/showthread.php?t=54856

Wow that looks like a cracking read

You are correct. In China there are many many different styles of watches produced in different levels of quality. 10 Euro Rolex or 500 Euro Rolex .. First decide how much you want to spend on a replica watch. Then you will know what quality range you are looking for. Some dealers here have a "value watch" section and a "Swiss watch (not really Swiss. Just higher quality rep)" section of their web store .. you can see the different price ranges of watches by looking there. Some watches are offered with different movements. A Submariner might have either an ETA Swiss (real Swiss) movement or a Asian copy ETA or an Asian 21j perhaps even an Asian quartz movement .. all for different prices. If you are buying a watch right now, be aware that it is the Chinese New Year and all of China is on vacation!! Your delivery and all email will be very slow or totally stopped! There are excellent reviews of the "super" quality versions of the Milgauss and the GMT IIc here ... they can point you at the best quality versions.

Your endlinks rattle not because they aren't tight enough on the pins but because of the large gaps on the sides between the watch lugs. The only way to fix that would be to find a better quality band which fit the lugs more perfectly.

Read higher in this thread and you will see that they wanted a receipt of sale for the "used Rolex Daytona" since the stated value on the package was $40
