Inspirational stuff.

+1 fanstastic. I am so glad that sandwich dials are making a comeback

+1 for the above. I just picked up a quartz speedmaster for $88 delivered. Excellent finish and at that price plenty of fun.

I can't be sure it isn't a reduced. That is why I kept my head and telephoned to "suggest" he confirm the its legit.

Anyways, I called the owner up on the telephone and told him my observation. His reaction was a bit too cool. So I will drop in next week and see the Speedy is still there. THANKS RWG FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO SPOT A REP MD

Come on Aussies!!! Can anyone help with this topic please? I have some mods in mind and need an understanding watchsmith. Thanks MD

I just happened to be window shopping in a boutique dealer of high end watches, this dealer also sells secondhand/used high end watches, when I spotted a used Speedmaster with incorrect sub dial spacing (and the accent missing from the E in TACHYMETRE). The ask price is USD1500 ! Just to be sure, I quickly checked a nearby VERY reputable dealer and confirmed the subdials are too far apart. Should I say something to the boutique dealer OR should I mind my own business? What would you do? MD

Inspiring stuff. thanks for the post md

Cool

It's as big a deal as we make it. If some one comments on my watch then my response is, "Thanks, I really like this watch". If they want to discuss it then I tell them "I really like it but, its a not real", I don't get defensive or embarrased about it so never becomes a big deal. I have got better things to spend my hard earned on (like my kids). MD

Mad Dawg = mad dog I don't know why but all my close mates call me that, honest. It converts to an easy nic. MD

I feel you are very close to the practicalities of the industry. Being a new member I note that the people on this forum a primarily interested in modding watches for personal enjoyment, there is not much interest in trading/distributing for profit. Therefore there is not much to be gained from shutting theses forums down. MD

cheers

Hi all, This might be a noob question (I am obviously new here) but, in the last few days the links in the posts have stopped working for me. All I get is "Error! The page or file you requested doesn't exist!". This is suprising because the links were working last week. Is this happening to anyone else? MD
