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

Nice!! Who did you get it from? Are the endlinks tight? Thanks-

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

Don't worry Luke, it's the crazy season!! Everything moves at a snails pace at this time of year!!

You think this is a long wait, try ordering a watch and forgetting it's just a day before the Chinese new year!!

Now there is a full fat fun wait for ya!! lol

Sixx

hahahahahahaha, i actually had quite a chuckle from that one

Thanks again guys, nothing like some wise wisdom from the seasoned rep-masters

Luke

Tis the Season for all things in the pipeline to slowwwww down considerably.. it is out of anyone "control" and we are at the mercy of the Postal Service.. being that what it is now with the cutbacks and closures of PO units.. things have slowed to a crawl.. I sent a Priority mail to the east coast 10 day's ago and it still has not arrived.. and I am in the USA

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

Hi Gioarmani,

Where did you find it on ET' page?

I am clicking a lot, but i can't find it.

Tnx.

E.

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

Wellll... Subdial spacing is horrid along with lots of other things.... If you want a nice one, talk to Spin and he will hook you up with a correct one for $600 shipped to your face

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

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
