i think i need your help. my lv is stripped. where are you and do you want do that to mine? pm me if you are intrested

i have been thinking about this since yesterday and i mispoke about the 250.00 price on that tw best tt blue sub from eddie lee. it was my tw best rolsium ss ym that he charged me 250.00 for, the tw best tt blue sub was 415.00 from el and it is exactly the same watch you see in that picture from watchmaker no. 9. he didn't get ripped off as bad as he thinks. excuse my incorrect stating of the price yesterday but it has been 9 months ago when i got that watch and i for got how much el charged me for it. i will edit the original post to reflect the correct price, sorry for any confusion this may have caused. marc

they look the same to me. both have a pretty good dial and a bezel insert that is too narrow. compare to a gen, the numbers on the bezel are not all the way to the inside up against the crystal. look at the bezel on the one that neil posted. thats how it is supposed to look. if you want one and are willing to try a cn movement get the one from neil. the dial color and bezel are as good as it gets for a rep. i imagine since there is no subdials to run or any complacations the cn movement should be fine and the watch is cheap. that is a excellent price and the watch is nice. pugs has his cn sub, it is killer looking and he hasn't had any trouble with it. maybe somebody that has one with this movement will tell us about it. neil? pugs? somebody??? this is a picture of my eta tw best from el. this is the best overall rep of this watch i have seen and at last count it was $250.00 but i don't know if eddie can still get it or if the price is the same. compare this to neils and his is much less money. if you want a eta i suggest this modle. if you want a nice watch for less money contact ttk. compare for yourself. ive worn this one into a ad twice and compared it myself and it passed the test with flying colors. just my .02

the 14k is too silver. the gold on this watch is exactly the right color if it is like mine. 14k don't cut it if you are going for that 99.5% all out look. mine matches all of my 18k jewelery and the ladies ss and 18k dj i got my wife from ruby is also the right color. it's all up to personal preferance and how far you are willing to go. i held the ladies tt dj from ruby in my hand side by side with my wife's doctor's gen tt dj and it was the same only her doctors gen needed to be cleaned and polished. if you don't mind the gold being too light then the 14k is fine.

your band is not solid but it is very thick and done with a heated process that makes the gold adhear so it will never peel or flake. when it is being done it produces a gas that is very unhealthy and that is why the process has been stopped in all but the most out of the way places. it is very desirable because of it's durability. i remember el telling me he has been wearing one of these for about 4 years and it is still fine. he will tell you this is the one to buy if you understand what you are getting and have a clear veiw of what you are going to do when you receive it. rbj told me that the dial color is very close to the old blue subs. they were not always the color we are a custom to seeing now. mine is getting a cn dial, second hand fitted to the cn dial, bezel insert, date wheel, cg's milled, drilled for oem spring bars and relume with super lume. i am going to live with the end links until the band goes and then i will change to a watch prince ss and solid 18k band. the gold on the band will last along time so i will have plenty of time to save up for that high dollar band. the last time i looked on joshua's site the dj's you are talking about had been removed but they may be there now, you would have to look. ruby can get the dj with ss and solid 18k mid links. i got one of them for my wife and it is in the reveiw section here, it is very nice. marc

i for got, it should also have a very good crystal height. yes? i can't tell from the pictures.

ok, this is what you bought. it is a tw best tt blue sub. let me guess, i can't tell by the pictures but the bezel is the most horrable royle bule you have ever seen and the dial is purple, correct? along with crown guards big enough to use for a bumper on a truck? yes i know, i have the same watch but it come from eddie lee. el is the only one that will get you a tw best but at a cost of 415.00 at last count. mine also has a second hand that is too short. is this one like that? the sticker on the back is very bad also, yes? this is the one you buy if you are going to do a mod from hell so you will have the rehaut. a gen is 2.0 mm a cn is 1.8mm and this watch is 2.1mm the band does have plated end links unfortunatly but the band is actually guilded with 18k gold and will last a long time. this process has been outlawed in most counties but is still in use in some 3rd world countries and is highly sought after because of it's durability. el told me it takes 4 days to plate and finish this band from start t finnish. it's not as bad as you think but unfortunatly you had to pay too much for it to mod it. try to send it back. if you can't you will either have to mod it or sell it at a substantial loss. search tt blue sub here and rwc and you will find some threads were el talks about these watches. sorry man, you only buy this watch to get the rehaut when you are going on a all out quest to build the perfect sub rep. hope this is of some help, marc

i guess dear old grandpa didn't get to wear that one before the cancer got him. it still has the plastic on the band in the picture of the back of the watch. them medical bills piling up didn't stop him from buying them there expensive watches did it? damn life sucks! lol

i just ordered the 195 from him.

the new one that trusty has is the same one ruby has had for a while now.

ok, i don't know if this will hurt you or help. i to liked this dial so i sent ruby a picture of the gen and she went to the factory and looked at it for me because the pictures don't show enough light on the dial to see what it really looks like. she told me the dial doesn't have that white silvery glow like the gen. it was a little more gray and didn't have that glow. now with all of that said, razor over at rwi has 2 of them comming and said he would post some good pics for all to see, so i am still intrested to see. i guess it is just one of those things that i want to see with my own eyes. lol

agreed.

i understand your thinking but i have bought from the highest priced dealer and was not able to get parts and went to cheaper dealer and he got it for me while he was traveling on vaction. so that story works both way in my experiances. they can trim profit margine and still provide good customer service. ruby is a perfect example of that.

i have never used the buy the dealer and then the watch theory. their allot of good dealers here and i always find the watch with the quality level i want and then i find out the dealers that have that specific peice and i buy it from who ever has the lowest price. also if you only buy from 1 dealer you have another problem. some of the watches our dealers have are all from the same factory so they will be exactly the same with accuracy quality and design. but their are some dealers that get some watches from other sorces and may have a watch you want that is better than the other dealers. if you only deal with 1 dealer you will lose out on something you wanted at some point. if we had some good and some bad the reasoning would make sence but we have allot to chose from.

everything is good, if there is a problem she will resend. i sent some things to china on 8-21-06 and they have not arrived either. that is normall, tomarrow will be 2 weeks and it will be there by the end of the week. my tracking number just shows that it was accepted at the post office when i gave it to them. everytime i send something out of this country this is how it works so it can defiantly happen the other way around bottom line?it can take up to 4 weeks and tracking numbers are worthless.

i also am a diehard rolex man and i am in! that is very cool!

maybe because because it's a rolex, but if i'm not mistaken you can buy a invicta with that dial and as usual it's relitivly cheap. maybe invicta uses something besides a real space rock but it looks ok. one thing is for shure, the rolex dial looks bad to the bone. i will take one with the diamond markers and bezel. nothing complaments precious stones like precious metals and a slab of polished space rock. leave it to rolex to think of something like that.

mine is posted in the dealer reveiw section. i posted it the day i received mine.

mine is very quiet, the rotor will spin for days and everything works perfectly.

the rep don't glow and is too gray from the pictures.
