Only thing I can spot, is at the 3 position on your bezel, the yellow ends after the marker, instead on bang in the middle like the other QC pics and the gen, otherwise these all look very nice
-
Cancelled my order and went with one of the new Hublots, not worth the hassle, plus having looked at the gen in person, I know they haven't pulled off the case finish correctly, and that's a pretty big flaw for me.....

SOSF v2 QC pics - my very first rep purchase!
Mickey Padge replied to myulchi's topic in The Breitling Area
Lume looks fine, even my gen isnt perfect, what are you talking about? lol -
Noob factory Ceramic PO and LM LE. (LM due for Release.)
Mickey Padge replied to cougar1's topic in The Omega Area
Why would he hurt his own sales of this new LMPO by saying the TIPO released soon, why would he give any information that may stop people buying the new watch? -
3rd QC pics with same issue...what do i do now?
Mickey Padge replied to xsxces's topic in The Tag Heuer Area
Third one looks fine, seriously, first two had slightly wonky Tag logo's and hour markers, if the third one isn't good enough, stop buying reps -
Why not just post the link here? Would like to know too please, just put a disclaimer if they are not a supported dealer
-
That tiny spec could probably be wiped off by somebody skilled enough, if that's the only thing "wrong" with the watch, then you should be very grateful
-
I only buy watches, never seen the point of fake boxes? The ones I have seen don't compare to genuine ones anyway, save your money and put it towards your next watch

New DSSD from PC/Josh with blue superlume and new bezel
Mickey Padge replied to Smab's topic in The Rolex Area
Link? -
Even if KB didn't shut down for a bit, it's the weekend! Try getting a reply from any online shop on the weekend, let alone a counterfeit good seller!

Yep, A7753, date change at the side of the case, even got a Panerai plastic pusher with the watch! The date situation is a major fix, it even has a blue disc. I wonder if the other Daylights will be updated in a similar way, or if the PAM326 will stand alone?
-
From Puretime, always great service from Angus! A fantastic rep, amazing quality, much better than the previous A7753 Daylingt reps, as the date position is fixed at last, bolder font too, plus superlume! Pictures, click to expand: Totally stunning piece, I love titanium watches and blue dials, so this is as good as it gets for me! Only the cheap faux croc "cardboard" strap lets it down, so I put on a panatime gen croc leather strap, dark blue, with a 24mm titanium rep Panerai buckle, makes such a difference! One of the best reps I have ever owned, there are probably tells that it's fake, but they certainly aren't glaring Last is the lume shot, glows brightly and for a long time Cheers!

did anyone get from TD his rep in toy package?
Mickey Padge replied to gvln68's topic in General Discussion
Not a good idea, at all, think about it for a little while and you will realise why..... -
Gold plated watch? Wouldn't recommend any, the "gold" plate will tarnish, rub and wear off, one ding or scratch and then the watch is runied as you will see the cheap steal underneath... Seriously, buy if you really must, but baby the watch and only wear it every now and then, for daily wear it will be useless

Noob Rolex Explorer II, dial refinish!
Mickey Padge replied to Mickey Padge's topic in The Rolex Area
Well, I knew I was going to respray the dial, so I just picked them off with my nails! Reglued them with care using rodico putty and jewellers glue -

Just refinished the dial on my 42mm white Explorer II, including the hands, looks stunning, even more impressive than this smaller version posted here, matte dials are so much nicer! -

Mickey Padge replied to Mickey Padge's topic in The Rolex Area
Hmm, not sure, Asian ETA clone with GMT mod, it wasn't clicking into place on the hour before, but inbetween, now after re fitting the hands, it clicks onto each hour and inbetween correctly And the mark you would need to look for it pretty hard, certainly doesn't bug me, certainly not when compared to the 12 marker position before I opened up the watch! -
Noob Rolex Explorer II, dial refinish!
Mickey Padge replied to Mickey Padge's topic in The Rolex Area
Thanks, I think a tiny spec is on the dial between the 8-9 marker, but otherwise it looks pretty clean. Clone movement inside, and before I fixed the markers, the GMT hand was out of sync, so I fixed that too, the GMT hand jumps on this piece when set -

Sorry that the picture links go via RWI, I have no clue how to fix that? They still work at least! -

Thanks guys, I was so scared I would mess it up, but thankfully everything went to plan! -
The new noob factory Rolex Explorer II is a very nice watch, superlumed dial, great case set, not a bad watch at all, however, it seems all or most of the dials have a wonky 12 marker, maybe the 6 and 9 marker too, the one I got did, thats for sure..... Check out the crooked markers on the QC pics! So, I thought what could be done? I like white dials, but I also don't like gloss dials a great deal, I much prefer a matte finish, like the black dial 42mm Explorer 2 So I picked up a can of Mr. Super Clear Flat UV Cut Spray for about £10, and took the watch to pieces, removing all the hands and the dial. I took off the 6 and 12 markers, and carefully reglued them in the right place, then proceeded to gently add a few coats of Mr Hobby onto the dial, ever watchful for dust..... Once the dial dried I reassebled the watch, lining the hands and the date change as you should, and the results are here in the following pictures, please let me know what you think! I have to say I was really surprised at how well it turned out, the dial has zero reflections, only the crystal reflects, the finish is lovely and soft, and the lume is the same as before, just as bright. The watch is totally transformed, on my wrist now, and not going anywhere! I am so tempted to do the same thing to my 42mm white Explorer II! Thanks for looking, any questions, please feel free to ask!

DSN is the only choice, his should now have the updated crowns, crown guards and date wheels too, plus the same base movement as the genuine. There is no competition even close.....
-
I think there would be loads (and I mean LOADS!) of interest in the SD, but the YM has been seen before.....
-
Yeah, I'm certainly not buying one! Personally I think everyone should be shouting about the WM9/TC SD, we know its been made, but where are some pictures!!
-
Would sound strange, as TC quoted me $771
