For us non experts waht exactly is going on?

Downtown but I'm willing to make a drive.

What exactly does Domi do? He gets secs @12 on a swiss eta? Is that unheard of?

I got a Breitling 6.75. Anyone know where in LA I can get a service for the movement? My watch only lasts 4 hours after wearing an entire day!

Honest opinion Francisco. Which do you think is a better option. Modding the secs @12 the way you describe or replacing with a swiss eta (does it suffer from the same problems, like a-b gear connection?)?

Have they ever made one of these? http://www.watch-arena.com/watch-brands/audemars-piguet/royal-oak-offshore-jay-z-rose-gold-foleoc.html

How much did you pay to get it lumed by Zig?

My concern is that the black lining on the side of the leather of the bracelet is peeling off and its come completely off on one side. This exposes the leather which is an ugly white. It was covered by some sort of rubber material

Is it possible to put a Gen strap on the current 6.75. I have the A7750 version - was wondering before I made the big purchase and end up losing money.

According to a few dealers - all new releases for 2010 will come after the Chinese New Year. Just a heads up - start saving!

No [censored] it doesn't work on a battery. I used the wrong [censored] word. Notice how I said automatic dumb[censored]. Can anyone answer the question of where to get service?

I live in Los Angeles. I have a 6.75 with the A7750 movement. The movement seems to need to be oiled, battery only lasts 12 hours if I am lucky and takes a long time to charge. Also, stops at the same stop (around 15 seconds). Where should I get it serviced and how much would this cost. Thanks

Where can I get the screws now that they have fallen out? I lost the screws that attach the metal connectors on the band to the watch. Where can I buy these? Harry

Does anyone have experience with the Rose Gold sec @12 version?

I am actually on a full ride merit scholarship at one of the top universities in the nation and was admitted as a junior in high school and actively recruited by top schools. Yea I guess you can say I have no street smarts but I explored every option including talking to this guy from multiple email addresses and he said it was sold after he committed to selling it to me. It said it was genuine and verified by AP. Yea its hard to feel sorry for me but I genuinely believed he was legit when we talked on the phone.

It also seemed more genuine in that he had me sign a contract which stated that if I were ever to sell the watch I would have to sell it to him for the price I bought it for (1000) and he would buy it back. This really made me believe this was real.

It was a craigslist deal. The guy posted in LA so I responded to find out he was in NY (or I somehow responded to an NY post). Offered to meet at Audemars Dealer for 15k - being a college student I asked for 1k and he accepted. He said he wanted to give it to a person who would worship it since it was his late grandfather. I tried to protect myself with paypal and credit card and paid him through that. He refunded it which showed me good faith since he could have ran with the money. Talked to him on the phone and he sounded genuine - told me about his grandfather and even teared up. I sent the money via Bank of America account transfer and he told me he would ship the package. Last I heard from him. Called B of A to tell them money was not supposed to be transfered - they credited it back and froze the [censored]'s account. A-hole shows the emails and tracking number (I live in an apartment and some one signed for it). B of A denies my claim and takes the money back. [censored] is not responding to emails and phone number is disconnected. I have his real name and bank account numbers though. Wondering what my next step should be. Yes I am an idiot and trust people too much. It is a lesson learned but I was so infatuated with the thought of being able to own a genuine AP. I am a college student so this is a huge hit to my wallet.

I got scammed - long story and when I get over it I will fully document it. For $1000 I got a shitty AP Royal Oak Offshore with rubber and stainless steel with quartz movement. Lesson learned. Anyone have any legal advice? I have his real name and bank account numbers and possibly address.

Thanks alot for the help guys. I will list the full details of the transaction as well as high quality pictures to show you guys when I get the watch - it is being shipped out tomorrow. It is priced rather reasonably and I feel like I can trust the seller. Thanks again and update coming soon - hopefully watch gets in Saturday or Monday.

Just enlisting your guy's help to see whether I am making a good purchase or about to be ripped off. Guy offered to meet at Audemars dealer to get it authenticated - however, he is from New York and knows I am in LA so he may have made that offer knowing I would not be able to call him up on it. Anyways what are the telling signs of if it is a fake when I get the watch so I can immediately stop payment on a check. What should I check to truly know it is authentic - I've been to AD's with reps and they've called them authentic before.

bump?

What entails a full service? What do I tell the watchsmith?

Yes second hand always stops around almost exactly 15s. What's wrong with the watch?

Hi I just got a Breitling 6.75 with the Asian 7750 and sapphire. It looks great. I had a few questions: 1. Sometimes when I go to bed and wake up it has completely stopped - this is after wearing the full day before. It seems to keep charge for 12 hours. It also stops around 3-4 o'clock but no specific time and some mornings its fine and completely functioning. 2. I am in LA any place to view high quality reps - specifically this model? 3. Any place in LA that would work on my watch? 4. Would a jeweler touch my watch if he thought it wasn't authentic - even if I'm willing to pay? 5. When I rotate my wrist hard or make an abrupt movement it sounds like there is a wheel spinning inside but it seems to spin with no resistance and goes on for a little bit before you hear a repeated cocking sound - like when you arm a pistol. Thanks for the help
