Hello all, I am considering to get a mesh bracelet for my (soon to order) Breitling Heritage. I understand, that the lug width is 24mm on the Heritage, correct? Would you have a recommendation for a fair priced mesh bracelet? Thank you all!

Is this: http://www.jpc8118.com/omse10003-seamaster...8242-p-891.html considered "decent"? Thank you all!

Thank you Jeff. Could you please suggest a specific model / dealer to get this from? I have found a number of different Bond blue seamasters, and I am really not sure which is considered decent and which not... Thank you again!

...to make sure that they do not unscrew on their own? Or are they OK without extra help?

Thank you, that helped!

Hello all, first of all: I did quite a bit of searching, and have not found the answer. If it was already posted: can you please tell me where? If not: could please someone explain how to take a link out (actually move a link fromone side of the strap to the other side)? I removed the screws, but the link is still sitting tight. How do I take a link out? Is it just forcing it a bit and it pops apart? Or is there something else, other than re removing the screws? I would greatly appreciate your help, as although the strap is the right length, the clasp is too much on one side. So by moving a link from one side to the other I hope that the clasp will be more centered... Thank you all! PS: I love my brand new white SOSF. It is an amazing watch!!!

Hello all, is there today a really good (without mods, out of the box) Seamaster Pro "Bond" Blue or Black rep out there (ideally the larger size)? Where would I find it? Thank you for any pointers... Thank you all!

Hello all, I have discovered recently how amazing the current high quality reps are, and I ended up selling a couple (actually, over 10) of my gen quartz watches (high end Seiko, Citizen, Tissot, Casio etc. models) in order to get a few nice replicas. You can see in my signature what I have bought. The first rep, an Omega UPO has arrived, and while it has some problems (something got damaged during shipment - will cost me $80 or so to get it fixed) I am still amazed by its quality and its feel. I am waiting for all the other reps currently in the mail. It looks like I will be able to afford 1-2 more nice models. Looking what I already have: what other models would you suggest? Thanks for any advice!

Hello all, I am really impressed by the Skyland V3, but I am not so sure about getting a watch with the 7750 movement, so I am considering now the second best to a Skyland: a Seawolf SS. What would be a good source to get one from? Thanks for any advice...

Thank you - very useful advice! I did not realize that the movements used could be quite old...

Thank you all. I found all the info I wanted in the review!

Hello all, could please someone point me in the right direction (or explain)? I really like the black steel breitling reps. However I am not exactly sure what black steel is. If it is PVD, than no thank you. I have an expensive gen PVD watch, and only after a short time there are a couple of nicks on it, where the steel shines through. That drives my crazy, as I really anal about my watches. (A nick on a SS watch is much less visible, and therefore disturbs me way less). Is black steel PVD? Or is it the same material deeper down too? Which model / vendor would have a guaranteed Breitling black steel ? Thank you for your advice!

Hello all, could please someone point me in the right direction (or explain)?

Hello all, I understand, that a 7750 movement requires servicing, immediately after arrival from Asia (or soon thereafter). But is this also the case for ETA / ETA clone automatic (non chrono) movements? Or can they wait a year or two before having them serviced? What do you do if you get a new watch with ETA / ETA clone movement? Thank you for sharing your experience!

Hello all, is this a decent rep of a DSDD? The price is reasonable - but is the quality? http://www.watcheden.com/rolex-sea-dweller...-22353-p-1.html Please tell me what you think! Thank you all!

Great idea! Anyone else would like to join?

Hello all, I have been lurking here for a couple of weeks so I thought its time for a proper intro. I have collected watches for quite a while (swiss and japanese quartz models), and I have resold CTI branded Omega and Breitling replicas (are they are replica if they are not branded Omega or Breitling but otherwise are very close copies?) a few years ago - but I was not aware that such amazing quality replicas existed, before I discovered this forum. By now I am still waiting for the first replica to arrive, but I already have 4 different models at various stage of ordering (one was ordered and I got the shipment tracking number, two were paid for and I am waiting for tracking info, one will be paid today...) Is this a disease or what: from no reps to 4 in about two weeks? I cant wait to have in my hands: - and orange/orange Omega Planet Ocean Ultimate with ETA clone - a white Breitling SFSO with ETA clone - an AP Royal Oak Jumbo with gen ETA - a TAG Aquaracer - quartz And I am already planning phase 2 of my purchases (want to wait for the first 4 to come in plus need to save some money to be able to afford them): - a Hublot Big Bang - Breitling Skyland (I am not sure about that yet - as I am a little bit afraid of having a watch with teh 7750 movement) - a Rolex DSDD and a couple more... For now I just wanted to thank you all for the amazing posts / reviews / tutorials: they help a noob (like me) tremendeously! Cheers!

Update: the person managing the orders is on vacation - so I expect to see movement on this after June 20. Until then I will just patiently wait...

I actually placed an order with them yesterday - and although their automatic message says that they respond within 24 hours, I got no respone yet... Maybe Monday?

Hello all, I am trying to find a watchmaker in the Toronto area (On, Canada), who would be willing (at a reasonable price) to service rep ETA or 7750 movements. I have found one so far, but he quoted me (after saying that all reps are crap) $350 - $450 miminum for a servicing... Would you know anyone who has more reasonable prices? Thank you for your advice...
