Even if you received 10,000 'yeah I like it's looks,..' posts,... still it won't be enough for any manufacturer to invest the substantial amount needed to rep the watch. Even if you paid for it's build, they still would not stock it for you. Why not ? This watch may be known in sections of Europe,.. but until it's popularity crosses over to become a household name in America, Canada, Australia Japan, ect. ect ect.. it's not worth the risk.... And that may Never happen.. . http://www.slate.com/id/2155600/pagenum/all .........................

Another alternative is the member trading forum.... Some great deals can be found there ....

Not yet,..

Well, it looks like it's 50/50 proposition.....

.. seriously though Jay is now more into finding new releases,.. verses perfecting current ones... Speaking of,..The Mare would be perfect imo, though we need to see just how many people don't agree,...Does anyone know how popular or not, the gen is ?

If you supply the model,.. i'm sure he would be most happy to...

Our 2nd project with Jay will be in the 10k range, so I was going to submit the Mare for inclusion... I know some hate it,.. but I personally find it handsome, and feel that it adds much needed variety, not in just style, but in size, to the Panerai line....

Let's keep it respectful... Just try to see it from the view of the most populated country on earth struggling to feed their people, while juggling international law and opinion... It eliminates the luxury of black or white, and allows to live all shades between...

Actually a bit more complicated than that,.. think countries,.. one obtains tourism perks, jobs and additional taxes from manufacturers who produce replicas,.. however those manufacturers keep the steam generated by heat from outside countries aimed in other directions, by claiming the novelty label, knowing that the law by nature of resources, concentrate on those criminals who are are attempting to replace genuine product, which our Replica watches in Fact, are Not. We can sit here in a replica board wishing all we want for perfect replicas.. but it will never happen in the open.. even mbw hides, and only sells purposley modifiable watches that are altered outside of their knowledge or direction. Accuracy is the Key,... and the Lock.

... so true, I actually own one of those.. it's my avatar...

....all 7750s Asian or Swiss make the same sound... I actually enjoy it !

........sorry, to sell a watch to a few replica buyers on a board is not sufficient for a manufacturer to invest a ton of money for an unknown brand of watch... It would have to follow the path of Panerai before it could possibly happen... but now it's premature to even contemplate... Great looking watch however... and I hope they make their mark...

I don't agree that the name on the dial brings you automatically into center target. As all things in life it's a matter of Degrees and Energy. Degrees of accuracy is of the utmost importance, as it separates those who are selling 'replicas' for novelty, from those who are creating counterfeits that could be passed off as real. Two totally different areas. Same as the difference between a print, or a forgery. Energy equates the resources that any law enforcement agency can afford to expend, which are limited. Therefore they focus their sights on the processes that could result in a man paying $20k for a $200 watch. {though in reality, All are $200 watches} What has started however as a way for replica manufacturers to remain, out of phase, has turned out to be a gold mine, as they morph accuracies like a game, that keep us coming back again and again, for 'New Releases'...or updates...

Amazing.... well I for one would love to see the other angles....

Hey Narikaa,.. your memovox is my favorite piece of all time... By the way, how many of those photos are of reps ?

..wear any watch... but wear it in your pocket...

Interesting to know that you helped out with the shipping,.. though I think you are a rare kind,... As for the numbers,... our boards are only a percentage of his business,... From what I understand, we are his gage into what the outside world wants,... and we have been pretty much right on, since day one...thanks to the diverse talent we have here... Thus his willingness to take our suggestions to the next level... Speaking of which. Yes,.. ,..looking forward... This is going to be fun, to say the least,..and of course beneficial for us in more ways than one.. I just hope, the genius our board is blessed with, will all come forward and partipate, instead of waiting for outcome before they act,... because our success depends upon it...

~This one... } -#------>

If you just consider how much he lost in just your transaction alone..including all that back and forth international shipping you can quickly sum it up... I don't know if the chrono has the same problems, or if they have been addressed,.. I have yet to inquire,.. but with all the members who have purchased them,.. I'm sure that we will find out soon... Personally,.. I don't plan on buying much until Jay brings out his own manufactured goods...

Well who would have guessed ?? The average size .. is the average size...

I successfully aligned markers on my Gst,..so it's possible to do it yourself,... all you need is a razor a needle and some loctite.. though I don't know if the markers on the 2000 are like the Gst, in place with two posts and a spot of solder.

Nice photos ! I love the fact that the case thickness is the same as the date ingy.... How is the weight in comparison ?

Though the wm case and dial material look great,.. markers are mis-aligned, and the price,.. mis-matched...

...I couldn't have said if better myself....

Flava,...Fantastic,.. I have been wanting to view a hand replacement job for quite some time... This is one for the vault,.. for sure,.. Thanks much for taking the time ! Question: Is it true that once hands are pulled, that it's best to replace them with new ones ? That is somehow ruins the original fit ?
