  1. 5 days is great for dealers/EMS packages, from the time you pay to the time it is in your hands. (if you're talking about north america) It's good to see there were no bottlenecks for your package.
  2. For women, the Cartier Ballon Bleu is simply stunning and well-loved. I see that Watch Eden has 60 pages of Cartier replicas.
  3. I have edited my post, now that it is night time, to include a 0.5 second exposure lume shot.
  4. I have edited my post to include a lume shot @ 0.5 seconds exposure
  5. Vaccum "vaclume" special Aquaracer 500M .. 1/2 second exposure .. not 10 seconds, like a dealer's "white lie".
  6. If you go out to the main page of the forum (the page with the live chat box at the top) and scroll halfway down the screen you'll see a dozen or more dealers named. Try Perfect Clones, Pure Time, Trusty Time, Watch international, Watch Eden, Pro-Watch Polo, Torobravo, Precious Time ... the list goes on ... Trusty Time has 57 AL&S watches listed http://www.trustytime.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18&zenid=08c0c98c2b7bd67fa598777b6c3c78be
  7. If you can get reliable porn more cheaply than a watch winder then yes it's your best bet.
  8. I'm going to go through this one, step by step for you since what I am saying is not true. A common ETA movement requires 650 full revolutions of it's rotor every single day to charge it's power reserve. When you swing your arm as you walk, that's about 1/4 of one revolution right there. That equates to about 2600 steps per day. How is a watch going to gather it's power reserve if you are "not moving that much". SO now you have a watch with almost no power reserve, since you do not move that much and the best thing for you to do is to buy a watch winder. Any further thoughts on the issue besides "not true" ?
  9. Some people who work in an office do not move around enough every day to power a watch. These people need to buy an electric watch winder for night time.
  10. Yes, of course. I intended to when it became evening. This picture was taken when the Sun was very strong and bright.
  11. Since the price of swiss movements started to increase last year, you can't even buy *just a bare movement* at watch parts store anymore for less than $160 USD. For $150 or less, you are going to be buying a Chinese 21 jewel movement, which is perfectly fine but has a difference in quality which you can feel when you wind it or observe it's ticking seconds hand. You can have a very good Planet Ocean for around $100 with Asian 21 jewel movement. I'll look one up for you and edit this post when I find one. OK so here is a 42mm Planet Ocean replica from a trusted dealer here .. unfortunately his listing for this particular watch is over on another replica watch forum named RWI ... http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/103-omega-po-103852.html
  12. I was cruising around the gen Tag sites looking for pics of the 500M before I bought the replica. I saw that several Gen owners had this procedure done, and I agree that it un-clutters the dial. The 2012 500M comes with no cyclops; Tag Heuer agrees with us! In my opinion, placing a cyclops over an area with lettering, textures, and raised chrome striping is just too much. It looks cluttered.
  13. Freshly back from Vac's Modification Shop
  14. I bought this in February, and for a $300+ replica, the crystal AR was non-existent, and the lume was awful. I sent it out to Vaccum, and here's the result. I am quite pleased. - 7ATM WR test passed - Double sided clear AR coating - Shaved off the cyclops (many Gen owners do this!) - Full re-lume Thanks for everything, Vac
  15. So what do you think? - shaved cyclops - full re-lume - double sided clear AR - passed 7ATM test
  16. It can happen both ways. Either a forum member can sponsor a dealer .. this is how TrevorTime came here .. OR a dealer can just PM a moderator or an Admin and introduce themself. I believe that is how Pro-Watch Polo got here. A dealer who doesn't smell of scams is a valued resource. Real watch photos (no Gen manufacturer's pics!), truthful descriptions (Swiss replica? Italian replica? don't insult our intelligence!), fair pricing. I think the admin team also wants to be sure a new dealer can handle the orders. There have been good dealers who just burn out and vanish due to the work overload. They vanish with people's money. And that isn't right. I assume that's part of the vetting process.
  17. Very beautiful. you have a good eye for the details.

    Beautiful. I love the shine and the variations of color.
  19. I have noticed on many DSSD photos that the pearl placement appears exaggerated.
  20. I always say that top-flight Chronos are the worst choice for first purchases .. they are too complicated .. too many parts. It's like buying a Ferrari for your first and only car.
  21. I hope you enjoyed your holidays. Any photos?
  22. Funny story .. I was in New Hampshire near the Canadian border. I had stopped at a beautiful resort for lunch, on my way to my final destination. I'd been there several times before, and had tasted most lunch entrees on the menu during my previous visits. This day, all I was really in the mood for was a really good hamburger, so that's what I ordered. Two tables over, I can clearly hear some French Canadians reacting with outrage that I would order a hamburger off of this wonderful menu in such a beautiful place. One of them over-ruled the rest in clear English, and said with both purpose and resignation "It is the National dish"
  23. No problem. I keep forgetting about it too!
  24. Oh was Torobravo added recently ... Maybe he's the latest TD then.
