  1. I think it is our duty to push these dealers that are less than forthcoming to add "Copy" or "Asian" to their descriptions. I'm a noob and I totally expected my B&R to be an ETA (swiss) since they are using "Asian" to describe the other movements. I understood that if the term ETA is used then it's Swiss! If you can't trust people selling fake watches, who can you trust? Hmmm... that didn't sound right.
  2. Vintage Seiko Diver. Love at first sight! It was the most money I had ever paid for a watch at that time but I had to have it. It had to be in the mid 80's I guess when I got it. I still have it and it's in mint condition!
  3. jeez! They just keep getting better! True.. most aren't logos at all but nice to look at. PT should pick the top 20 designers and we should all start an international logo design biz? A good logo cost about $500+. Big corps pay thousands $$$ for a logo redo.
  4. Need to put a black matte on some of your gifs so there won't be a white messy edge. Change font on AFFORDABLE LUXURIES or make lower case, the one you used should never be all caps... very hard to read.
  5. Like JBoy I am also a Graphic Designer with lots of logo experience and it's sad and unfortunate that so many of you are willing to prostitute yourselves for a free watch.. especially since I am also willing. I thought there would be little competition but I see even seminoobs at design are coming up with some really sharp elements. Well done guys.. I'm not even sure if I should try now.
  6. Your life will never be the same. You will lose friends because all you can talk about is movements, sapphire AR and luming. It starts slowly. You're at work and you take breaks to look at your watch. You buy some more an your co-workers notice that you never wear the same watch twice.. "how many freakin watches do you have anyway?" You go on vacation and wonder if any new watches came out while you are at the beach. The bills keep adding up and you have new reps mailed to your office rather than home so the wife won't know. As addictions go this one isn't so bad except that there is no known cure as of yet. My name is morgan, and i am a watchaholic. First step towards recovery..
  7. Is there a time limit? I don't want to kill myself designing one and then find out you picked one already. Game over.
  8. That's insane! I can't imagine wanting to stick around to have coffee knowing full well you are about to rip somebody off but I guess sociopaths are a plenty. Have you tried to contact him? Maybe he didn't know??
  9. I've never used a cape cod cloth... is it like using never dull?
  10. $149 is nice! This is the A02 model w/ the larger power reserve compared to the A01? I'm looking at Trusty's site. How's the crown guard latch... is it beefy or a flimsy sliver of metal?
  11. Merry Winter Solstice to me! I pulled the trig on a B&R 46 CLOCK already so I could be the first on the block to be dissappointed.. (hopefully not). I will report w/ seminoob scratch and sniff review asap. Hope it doesn't hang over the sides of my wrist or get caught in the car door. Did they actually engrave a drawing of screws on the back or did I just imagine that? Oh the humanity.
  12. We want pictures! C'mon guys... post your mugs so we can see who we're sending all of our childrens college savings to.
  13. "morgan: That's a PAM027. I believe thomasng (somehow) still has one at the trading zone here. It has the same movement as the genuine - ETA2892 with Sopras Power Reserve model. I have the PAM028 which also has the same movement. " $500!!!! That might be why it's not sold yet? That's a lot of money for a rep regardless of engine. My piggy bank is too small.
  14. Beauty!! What Pam is this? I want one!
  15. That's a fatty! Sweet! Put a mm ruler on that bad boy and tell me what you got... 6mm? Does the uneven paint job on the edge make it look cool or sloppy?
  16. Anonimo Militaire. http://www.anonimo.com/index.html Anonimo was founded in Florence, Italy in 1997 by respected designer and entrepreneur Federico Massacesi who had already gained many year’s experience in the field of Luxury Goods for Salvatore Ferragamo SpA. His vision was to create an enterprise specializing in the production of unique Italian timepieces focused on staying true to Florentine watch making tradition. He accepted the challenge therefore to be known worldwide as the most important Italian Company producing high quality mechanical timepieces. Events conspired to set the stage for the realisation of this aim. The takeover by an international group caused a famous Florentine watchmaking house to uproot and move abroad, thus leaving an elite and established team of veteran watchmakers wishing to continue their watchmaking tradition in Florence. Happily this wealth of Florentine watchmaking experience joined forces with Federico Massacesi to form the cornerstone on which Anonimo’s success was built
  17. bigger
  18. Part of my A team. Too "Anonimo" to rep yet?
  19. Why so secretive? I don't think the economy will collapse if we were told what's coming? C'mon.. give it up.
  20. 196! What a crap date font on the 250... why bother installing it if you can't read the bloody thing?
  21. 40mm across bezel? What were they thinking? This baby should be 47.. now that would be a Seiko to be had.
  22. Those croc straps look still alive. Yuk! Nothing kills the value of a nice sub more than a $10 cheap ass web belt NATO. Like putting Kmart tires on a 911 turbo. Your choices are rubber, SS or black leather.
  23. Somebody in China knows damn well what, where and when the new BP will be out. bastards
  24. Great stuff thanks for sharing! Time for a group trip? I'd be there for days.. hiding reps in my shoes, shave kit, glass cases, 4 on each arm walking thru customs. Am I the only one who got goose bumps and heart palps reading this?
