  1. I hope it is Bill, enjoy your purchase and enjoy wearing it.
  2. Great stuff...maybe you could post a couple of pics when you get it,would love to see it.
  3. Many thanks for a great review It is a truly beautiful watch and had the fortune of trying on the quartz version on at Goldsmiths at the weekend,the saleswoman called it "a classic gentlemans watch"..i couldnt agree more! Just waiting for my rep version to arrive but got a funny feeling this could well be the first gen im going to own
  4. Yeah, im sure i will Thanks for the reassurance guys...
  5. Um...thinking about it,its not in transit.... As the pm that i sent at the weekend with my postal address he hasn`t even read yet..
  6. "already in transit"...i hope so TeeJay , i can`t wait to give it some wrist action!!!..ahem, if you know what i mean..
  7. Thanks TeeJay... I dont blame him for taking probably what is a well earned holiday...i just wish it wasn`t in the middle of a sale!!
  8. Yeah i know Wayward..im sure it will. He must`ve taken off for a few days break.
  9. Hi guys, wonder if you can help me.. Im in the middle of buying a SMP rep from Demonslayer and have transfered the funds to his bank account (saturday just gone) but since then ive heard nothing from him. Im guessing he`s a straight guy and respected member of this forum as he`s got over 1,200 posts to his name and a number of happy buyers under his belt as well as some nice comms with me. If anyone heard that maybe he`s gone on holiday or something like that i would really appreciate it if you could let me know just to put my mind at rest as im starting to think i may never see my watch, iv`e pm`d him but so far they all go un-read as does the e-mail i sent him. I really dont want to think the worst but i cant help it...thanks
  10. Well i bought one from a member of this board and paid for it on saturday.. But as yet ive had no reply from him as to reciept of payment or confirmed postage of the watch... The silence is deafening.....
  11. And yes your right...he was the catalyst that got me into replica watches, so im very greatful to him for that!
  12. Im sure he didnt get burned,he seems too savvy to fall for that,but if your saying your watch is the genuine article when its not then surely your setting yourself up to get shot down in flames. I didnt elaborate on why i questioned its authenticity after i inspected it with more knowledge, and he didnt ask!! but he did sort of change the conversation quickly which leads me to think he knew it was a rep but didnt want to say so.
  13. I work for the largest funeral provider in the u.k...and i love it..!!
  14. A few months ago i went out with a group of friends for a few drinks, and on a friends wrist i saw this beauty of a watch and asked if i could have a closer look. He passed it to me and i was blown away by it,i asked him what it was and he said "its a omega planet ocean 45mm". Bearing in mind this was before i knew anything about the replica watch world! "is it genuine" i asked, and he replied "yeah,it is" so i took it as the truth. I met him again today and showed him my new purchase (narikaa po) and said to him it cost 65 quid and asked him again if icould have a look at his watch..you know whats coming dont you?? He took it off his wrist and i quietly set about using all my new found rep knowledge,i was enjoying this!! Heres what i found : No omega world map laser type etching on the rear of the case Bad pearl..not even close Off centered date wheel (well over to the left of the date window) Short hands No numerical markings on the bracelet or caseback I said to him if he was sure he had bought a genuine PO and he still said yes!!! I just hope he didnt pay the going rate for a 2nd hand gen PO and realizes he has a rep sat on his wrist. He probably knows its a rep but just didnt want to lose face and didnt bank on my new skills...lol Im always up front when showing off my reps as theres usually someone there could catch you out!!
  15. No offence at all marty Im glad you gave me the advice as i wouldnt`ve wanted to buy a rep that was way off the mark. Its only from learning from guys like yourself i can become savvy in the rep world. Thanks
  16. Hi Bill..well i dunno `bout you but i think im gonna go for a PT seamaster. Ive abandoned the idea of going for the "red seamaster,facelift version" as some of the comments have been not so good. Most have said that PT`s version is about the best one going at the moment and i must admit it looks pretty good to me and even better sitting on my wrist... Keep in touch Bill and let me know which one you go for Regards
  17. Well ive listened to all the advice and im still set on the smp blue from PT, however..... I REALLY like this one from Perfect Clones..the facelift model with red seamaster lettering, to me the face of this one takes the plain smp to another level. I wonder if PT can get me this one (i want to use him as he ships from the U.K which is a big plus for me!!)
  18. Christ Andreww...now you`ve given me something else to think about!!! lol Now im really un-decided... Im sorta hooked on the plain smp...but i will checkout the chrono as it is a looker..
  19. Thanks for your advice guys Im waiting on another member to send me some pics of a smp that he has and is willing to sell. Failing that i will go and put an order in with PT as his looks quite nice. Does anybody have any close-up pics of a PT smp they`ve bought?...would love to see them.
  20. Crikey...just for the record i didnt swear in the post above!! Only used the descriptive word for a male hen...James May uses it all the time...
  21. Its crazt isnt it... I mean they must`ve spent a while getting it to look pretty much like a gen upo only to [censored] everything up with a pearl that really doesn`t cut the mustard. I would`ve thought that would be the easiest thing to replicate.....seems not!!!
  22. Hi guys...i have a dilemma. Im on the hunt for a smp blue and to be honest there are so many around from different collectors its hard to know which one to get. Im looking to spend between
  23. In light of me buying a UPO later on in the year i have a couple of questions for you guys... I was wondering if the bracelet of this rep is any different from say Reg`s standard po that i just bought(which ive worn for a week now and find it very comfortable) is there any difference in quality maybe or better quality engraving perhaps.. Also does the UPO come with a swiss eta movement as standard as appose to the asian movement, how would i know that mine has a decent quality eta and not a copy?(as i would probably never open the caseback!) Im pretty much up together with the other minor flaws the UPO has and it was just these two questions that were niggling me. Any info would be much appreciated.
