Hey all! I was wondering if anyone has a PDF of "Rolex Daytona A Legend is Born", I know a few RWG forum members downloaded it sometime this year, see this thread, http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/154334-merry-christmas-to-all-members-rolex-daytona-a-legend-is-born-bookpdf/ If anyone could reply or PM with a download link that would be awesome. Thanks.

Got myself an iPad on release day, it's fantastic Much better than I first thought or whatever anyone says I highly recommend it, and lack of flash is not much of an annoyance, most popular website now render video in HTML5 so they play within iPad's browser And pictures look unbelievable, especially all of your wristshots Luke P.S. I'm surfing RWG on it now

Thanks for the tips guys, I decided to replace the crystal to a more gen-like T39 The original has cracked under stress also so its definitely time to replace it however i have been looking at getting this crystal and a better insert before the incident, so it just gives me an excuse The watch itself has come out great, much better than i expected, i will post pics once i have installed the new hardware Thanks again guys Luke

lol guys, i actually was aging the bezel with a small flame and i guess i held it there too long i think im going to end up buying a new crystal and have it installed by a local watch smith thanks again

Hey Guys I'm in the process of aging my Rolex Comex 1665 and i have ended up melting a portion of my plexi crystal i have sanded it down with very fine sand paper but i have left a large area of scratches from sanding i face the delema of either attempting to fix the crystal or replacing the crystal i dont want to spend to much on my mistake, i dont not own any watch tools so please take that into consideration Thanks for your help Luke

Hey Guys, I have a friend interested in buying his first rep after seeing some of my recent purchases I am fairly new to the rep business so i need some suggestions for the watch He loves Explorer 2's, but mostly white faces He loves GMT II's but he is open to suggestions on any rolex, he mainly wants a classic rolex, with the best combination of accuracy and look Any suggestions would be great, but model specific so i am able to find the most reliable and accurate Thanks Luke

Endlinks could be tighter, but are very close to perfect, unnoticeable gaps I got the watch from Hont Luke

Hey Guys After a long wait for it to finally arrive, may i present to you my latest acquisition. The Rolex Submariner Blue Ceramic, 116619LB Without getting into too much detail, the watch is fantastic, in my opinion the best Rolex rep you can buy for the price range The construction is top notch, the bezel is the perfect tone of blue and the dial is immaculate The lume has to be my favorite aspect of the watch, the eye catching blue is beyond bright after a good charge, and will be clearly visible in a well lit room For all the major details of the watch check out Spirit's review over at RepGeek Thanks Luke

Hey Guys,ITS HERE, my finally arrived on the morning of the December 31st, after 26 daysQuite a long wait but well worth it, the watch is amazingThanks for all the replies Luke

hey guys, another update 25 days and counting since it reportedly left china hope it comes soon, thanks for all the replies Luke

hahahahahahaha, i actually had quite a chuckle from that one Thanks again guys, nothing like some wise wisdom from the seasoned rep-masters Luke

Thanks so much, i fell much better now and especially with you telling me that. Hopefully it should arrive soon Regards Luke

Hey guys, Im not one to complain, but i recently purchased a rep from a trusted dealer. i sent the money through WU on the 3rd of December and its now the 22nd and still nothing. it may be the holiday traffic, but 3 weeks is pushing it The tracking info on EMS has said it left customs and sorting on the 6th Im located in New York, ive had some reps come in 6 days, from order to arrival I thought id let it wait, but 3 weeks is a bit insane Hopefully it should be here soon, the wait only adds to the want Any ideas? Regards Luke

On the home page there is a section "New Watches 2009" within the flash box, then go to "new V5", the pictures should be there, there are more pages accessible on the top of the box. Hope that helps, Luke

Can't wait, I've been holding off until I saw the first pictures. Hurry hurry Luke

Thanks for the input, but who is this "DW" character who is always associated with vintage daytonas Thanks Luke

Hey Guys, I'm really liking it here , but i digress. I have always loved the look of the "Paul Newman" Daytona, such a classy look for such a sporty watch and it only gets better with time. So, I'm in the market to purchase one, i have found one from Josh, however if there are any other ones out there that are better, do tell. I would prefer a 37mm with a hand winding movement and correct sub-dial spacing is a must, more of an accurate replication in my opinion. Here's my current favorite, http://www.jpc8118.c...nos-p-3622.html Please tell me what you guys think of it and if its worth it, and if there are any others out there worth looking at. Thanks to all, Luke

The 21 jewel model is a great buy, but for me I just adore the grey dial of the 7750 model. And I try to strive for the most accurate replication possible and it looks like the 7750 model is the closest. Quality first, price second. (not to sound to cocky, I'm only 17 haha)

Thanks so much for the help guys. I'm so glad this is a worthy timepiece I love the timeless look But if I can trouble u guys once again seeing that you have been such a great help, what do you guys think of these. Rolex Daytona 2009 Grey Face http://www.jpc8118.c...800-p-7169.html Rolex Daytona "Paul Newman" White face 37mm Venus 75 http://www.jpc8118.c...nos-p-3622.html I do know of all the risks associated with the 7750, "the movement from hell" as some say, but i think it is well worth the risk for such a beautiful timepiece. But I am less informed about the Paul Newman, please fill me in on anything i should know about it. Thanks so much Luke

Thanks for the quick responses, the movement is actually an Asia ETA 2836-2 28800 bph, but could someone answer my noob question, I want the best sweep the smoothest possible, would I get that with this movement? Here's the link http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_103&products_id=5388 Thanks again Luke

Hey Guys, I'm a little new around here, I've been monitoring the forums for a few weeks now and I think I'm officially addicted, so I thought that I should make my first post. The watch in question is the new Rolex Comex 1665 Sea Dweller, I love the design and the age of the watch, also the rarity of the Comex dial, not to mention the great story behind the organization. So I wanted to see what opinion you guys had on the watch, also this is my first rep purchase. And would it be worth it to get the ETA or just settle with the asian and $50 in my pocket Thanks Guys, Luke
