    This afternoon, my dogs were barking so I looked out the door and saw one of those "Delivery Attempt" notices on my mailbox. I immediately got that sinking feeling, but I had the presence of mind to chase the mailman down the street to get my parcel.

    I brought it in the house, tore it open to unveil my new PAM 092 Arktos which I bought from Trustywatchguy - I LOVE IT!!!

    stay tuned for review & pics

    a couple of urls a couple of things.. : )

    Here is an example of one of my favorite dress watches received from Joshua, a Panerai Model 147 Chronometer in Rose Gold:

    Joshua is working on a website "PerfectClones" it should be ready soon - in the meantime you can visit Joshua's album to veiw all of his watches.

    "Click for a review of this watch done by Highflyingclive, his review has better pictures than mine!

    You will find a list of Ladies Watches available from Joshua at the end of this guide. There are 35 not counting the 40mm Panerai models.

    For Tiffany Jewelry, you cannot beat Ruby for Prices and Selection! For Information on Ruby, Click Here Ruby is honest, reliable, and fast to respond. Remember, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the whole country shuts down to visit with close relatives. You can email Ruby at goldmedal88@126.com She uses Western Union, however, the prices and quality of her goods can't be beat. The sterling is real sterling, and the jewelry is as described!

    Scroll down to find Experts of watch modification, repair and servicing. </B>

    Aspire (Paul): www.aspire-eshop.com No longer on my recommended list, too many unresolved complaints. However, there are still many forum members who are satisfied with Aspire.. worth a look!

    THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT IN ANY ORDER OF PREFERENCE - PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH

    Neil (forum name TTK) - (no password needed) Thailand/Scotland

    Click for TTK Photo Album Neil has the reputation of being hard to deal with, sometimes very slow delivery, hard to get in touch with sometimes. However, he often has unique watches, and always delivers. Many swear by him. PM TTK or email: ttk.keyserszose@gmail.com

    river (no password needed) Taiwan

    Click for river Photo Album River has had some problems in the past, but seems to have improved. Prices are a bit on the high side.

    Andrew (forum name trustywatchguy) Singapore

    Click for Andrew Photo Album password: trw.

    Homer: email homer@mulberryoutlet.co.uk Website: Click for Homer Album

    Located, of course, in the U.K. He prefers you email him.

    Eddie Lee (forum name eddielee11) Password is lowercase ok

    Based in Canada, drop ships from China, as do many of the dealers here.

    Click for Eddie Lee Photo Album Eddiel Lee, like river, has perhaps the highest prices. His stock often matches river.

    Narikaa - U.K. based.

    Click for Narikaa's Album Narikaa is U.K. based.

    You can use the PM (Private Message) function to send a message to these dealers.

    Another new forum for quality replicas is Replica Watch Info @ http://replica-watch.info/forum/

    The Replica Watch Report All about Replica Watches, worth a look!

    How to send a dealer or a member a message (PM): look at the top of the page and click on New Messages, then when the new page opens, at the upper left you will see "Compose New Message" Click on that, and a new message form will open. Type in the "member name line the dealer/member forum name, put a subject in, type your message, and hit "Send" (at the bottom) and there you are!

    Getting prices: For 'security' reasons, the forum dealers do not list their prices in their albums. For this reason, they all will give you their prices easily, through email or PM - and they will answer any other questions that you might have as well.

    For "Vintage" Rolex and Panerai Watches: Noted for being very expensive, with the reason the watches will interchange in comonents with genuine models:

    MBW, availbel by PM from RWG, member name worldwatch. Sticks with Rolex.. be polite and courteous or 'get no soup' Famous 'Rockstar' dealer

    WM PM from RWG member name watchmaster WM is an artist, and if you are lucky enough to snag anything at all he puts out (at a cost) you will be the envy of all the kids on the block! Works closely with redbigjoe69, one of our premier watch modifiers (specializes in 'aging' and can do old looking lume to dials among many other specialities.. both very easy to talk with. Rumor that WM is no longer in business.. if true, a shame! However, Joe has sources that are top notch, and if you are looking for the best around, he is the guy to contact.

    There are also websites that are trusted and safe.

    http://www.kingshowbox.com/0.htm "King" super good site - for prices, email her. Super website dealer.

    http://www.silixwatch.com (Asian Automatics) Less expensive, for those on a budget, good quality movements, many times some errors in the copying.

    http://www.silix-prime.com (Swiss ETA) Better quality movements.

    Then, you can also go to the forum Section "Photo Gallery II" on RWG

    once you have built up some posts, and you will find members as

    well as dealers there..

    Dealers on The Replica Collector are:

    After all of this time, and in selling (and buying) many

    replicas, I have found that for me, the very best dealer for a great

    combination of price, variety, availability, delivery, and service

    (including after care) is Jos nana - (Joshua)

    Should you look through the various dealer albums, you will see that

    Joshua also has a very good variety in watches - and that he takes ALL

    of his own photographs.. Joshua keeps his fingers on the replica world pulse, and is a subject matter expert, who is very helpful, and does not mind questions. (He collects replicas just like we do.)

    Women's watches: while there are not a great deal of womens watches available

    in the world of replicas , Joshua makes a point to stock as many as he can find.

    One of my favorite watches is a Rolex British Military Submariner,

    the 5517 that I got from Joshua: Rolex 5517 Submariner

    Joshua is very easy to communicate with, and he does not mind questions

    (unlike some others..)

    There is a saying on the forum, first pick your dealer, then pick your watch..

    I choose Joshua for all the reasons above. He truly makes the buying

    experience a good one!

    Joshua is also noted for finding watches that are very hard to get.. He has

    contacts with the factories, and makes regular visits to get the latest

    merchandise. Click for an example of Joshua finding a special watch requested by a customer

    Forum Etiquette: The RWG forum has grouwn tremendously from

    it's beginnings. Perhaps due to that growth, there is a tradition of

    not answering new members questions when they post them.. In fact,

    the responses will often seem to be rude, and even at times insulting.

    The reason for this is that there have been an incredible amount of

    new members asking the exact same questions, time after time..

    The most infamous of these is "Who has the best sub?" Another would

    be "Who is the best dealer?" etc. etc. I you read a bit, and especially

    if you become familiar with the search function, you will find all of

    your questions answered..

    I know that when I first found the forum I was overwhelmed with

    all of the information, and did not know much if anything about replicas.

    It took me quite a long time to even begin to figure things out.. I feel

    that it would be a nice thing to do, to put together a guide like this one

    for new members.

    Footnote:

    Jos Nana is the largest volume seller on the forum. There are many reasons for this, his large vareiety of premium quality watches, his knowldge, his easy manner, and his after care are but a few of these reasons.

    Jos Nana (Joshua), as mentioned, takes all of his own photos. This is of particular interest to me simply because it means that he has examined each and every watch that he sells. There are many other dealers on the forum who use 'stock' photos from their suppliers.. This is easy to see over time by simply comparing photos of the same watch model from the different dealers.

    In addition to taking his own photos, Joshua is by far the most knowledgeable dealer we have. His knowledge is broad, and covers every aspect of the watches, of the market, and of the supply side of the business. He knows what improvements are coming and can advise in all of these areas. What I like best about Joshua is his complete professionalism. If, by some chance, he does not have a certain model, and he knows that another dealer does, he will tell you. Note that Joshua does have the most extensive assortment of watches.. The final point is that Joshua has far and above the best service of any dealer on the board. In a very small percentage of transactions there may be a problem that arises. Joshua will take care of it, quietly, and rapidly. You can't beat that - just as you can't beat how he will take the time to easily and rapidly answer any and all questions you might have! These are the reason he is indeed the premier dealer on our forum.. You can see his album here: :thumbsupsmileyanim:Click for jos nana (Joshua) Photo Album:thumbsupsmileyanim: The password is joshua (Note the small "j")

    I wish you the very best in this replica world, for fun, for enjoyment,

    and for killer reps!

  19. Went to Tourneau's Watch Shop:Have Question?

    in The looney bin

    Posted

    How come you never see swan on the menu anywhere? Just about every large bird is eaten from quail to ostriche, but you never see swan offered.

    Anyway since some of you have probably been to Tourneau's, I thought I'd ask.

    Thanks

    I have seen swan offered on menu's in a few Asian restaurants, but it always turns out to be duck. I'm not sure why, either. It may be a Groucho Marx/Sacred Cow thing? I know you can't kill 'em in the U.K.

    As an alternative, you might consider flamingo. Mmmm..... now I'm hungry.

    Another thing you don't see on the menu too often is peacock. Some blame the [censored] peta people for this. Myself, I'm not eating anything with "[censored]" in it.
