  1. I compliment any watch that draws my eye. Even cheap department store quartz pieces if I happen to like it. The people I work with know I'm a watch maniac so it means more to them coming from me.
  2. Oh and don't forget a pressure test! Don't ruin your new watch by just guessing if it's WR or not. Vaccum can WR and lume it for you.
  3. Lume. If you are seriously thinking about hundreds of dollars in physical mods then you probably want a better sub to begin with. A n-factory sub is meant to be superlumed and worn.
  4. OH that reminds me ... it's not the SuperOcean at all .. my cheap Franck Muller Crazy Hours gets the most attention. People **always** ask about the mixed up numbers.
  5. SOSF white dial .. the parallelogram bracelet links attract attention.
  6. Use the email tool, not the telephone. All it asks for is the tracking number.

    PAM 380

    Red Locktite is formulated to require a flame be applied to loosen it. A torch. And I don't mean a British flashlight. So no. Do not use it on your watches
  8. I really do not know if it would fit ... but there it is. It's available, but for a quartz watch bracelet ... will it be any good AND will it fit. Questions!
  9. I edited my post to include the address at watcheden.
  10. When I was researching this watch for you, I saw many with the SS bracelet ... maybe it fits this model and maybe not. One more thing to have the modder "do" for you WatchEden quartz replica on SS bracelet for $88 --- http://www.watcheden...-62287-p-1.html ask if they can sell you the bracelet alone ..... BTW why is this watch with Asia clone ETA almost $300 ??? I feel violated just looking at that price. Unjustified.
  11. Do not be under the illusion that if you buy a Swiss ETA it will be a fresh piece out of an ETA sealed blister package. It will be a used movement or new old stock from open palletized inventory susceptible to dirt contamination. The only advantage to purchasing gen ETA is that if it should physically break, you have easy access to parts. If a China clone ETA physically breaks, parts may or may not fit. Some do and some do not. Your option would be to purchase a new clone ETA from a parts supply house like Otto Frei or a genuine Swiss ETA movement to replace the broken clone. It's really your call. There is nothing "wrong" with china clone ETA movements.
  12. Yes of course. You need to buy the replica, and then send it off to a talented lume artist who can make the changes for you. All you need is the will to do it, and the money to pay for it. There are a few trusted modders here and on other watch forums who can do this easily. let me put a disclaimer here ... I do not have personal knowledge that the replica's bezel insert allows for lume. that would be a caveat here. Here's one ------- http://prowatch-polo...cts.php?id=1714 another----- http://www.trustytim...roducts_id=7899 a third ----- http://www.puretime.co/product/2010-aquatimer-ss-blackwhite-bezel-white-dial-black-rubber-strap-a2836-/
  13. It's like the Lion King, except he's being advised by his seagull fore-father.
  14. All of our trusted dealers buy from the same factories. It's not a matter of the dealer.
  15. Yes, while a trusted dealer may lie to you a little bit, they are not out to cheat you and will come through in the end. they just dont want to argue with you, and will fib.
  16. I believe that those dealers will build any combination of DJ for you, if you ask. They have barrels of parts laying around for those.
  17. Yes, you can use Kello and be sure to add a nice little $20 microphone to your iPhone to make sure it works perfectly! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875983006&Tpk=edutige
  18. It is a lot cheaper to make a watch than you think. The best price I have EVER seen for a N-Factory Submariner is $46. That price is not available anymore, and so this is your best price currently. You can see that it has an Asia 21j movement, yes? Not genuine Swiss. For any new people here, Sead at SuperMirrors is not only a dealer, he is also a modder .. like BK. He does his own mods and super lume on his pieces, plus can offer upgraded leather straps.
  19. No one said you have to buy one with a real Swiss movement. Get a chinese movement instead.
  20. He;s been with us for years and I would not expect any less of TT .. enjoy your new piece.
  21. The BB is a beautiful replica .. and a real swiss Selita movement only makes it better. And yes, of course, any plated piece of jewelry will eventually wear .. it's inevitable.
  22. Someone posted recently that they had received a watch from Trevor and his latest post to his own area here on the board is fairly recent. And yes, you can go to his area here on the board and see he's a dealer here. If you are in the USA please remember that China is 12 hours out of sync with you ... ok? All you really have to do is look around the dealer web stores for their newest version of the non-ceramic Submariner with Asian ETA .. you don't have to buy from Trevor at all. It was just an example. PureTime: http://puretime.co/product/submariner-16610-black/
