  1. Thanks freddy333! It wasn't pretty, I think three members purchased this same watch, I was lucky, and I received it, in a non working not as advertised state, the other two poor fellows got nothing Suffice to say I am pretty sure the seller was booted from the boards at least Cheers!
  2. Thanks, it is a relief to finally have a working watch at last!
  3. Just got this piece back from Domi, after some serious work to get her back up and running again, thanks very much Domi for your excellent service and help in this matter! This is a DW vintage Daytona, with a slightly different bezel I sourced, and an aftermarket crown and tube. The watch uses a manual wind 7750, Domi did his magic there, removing the auto parts and installing manual wind ones Not sure how accurate it is, in fact it probably isn't true to any gen, but it has a set of parts that I like best! On to the pictures, click to expand: I am very happy to finally have this watch on my wrist and working, even more so when you consider it was a member sale gone wrong, sorry to the peeps that ended up with nothing, at least I was lucky and received a watch at all, even a broken beat up one..... Cheers!
  4. Mary just sent some photos of my watch, looked fine to me, but she spotted a flaw with the ceramic case, and promptly sent it back to the factory for replacement! Quality service as always from Mary
  5. I won't buy from the twins ever again, zero QC and drop ship all the way, each and every time. I see no reason to buy from them at all, the same watches can be sourced from other dealers, who inspect each watch and send pictures of the watch you will receive before delivery.... My last purchase from Mary was a fantastic Chopard chronograph, just over $100 less than the cartel dealers, and full QC/pictures before delivery to boot, can't be beat Cheers!
  6. Glad to be gone from Repgeeks now, it was the right decision to ask to be removed, Let those in charge stew in their own filth until it chokes them
  7. Yep, thread closed over on Repgeeks, and I will probably be banned PWC even went so far as saying I get cut cheaper deals by dealers, so I can sell them on the boards for a profit! The forum mods over there let him do as he pleases, such a shame to ruin what could be a good forum otherwise..... Funny, the last post from the mod saying I was warned, oh the irony In fact I have asked to be removed from the forum, I dislike the low standards the peeps who run that place keep to.....
  8. This is why RWG is my home, because of all the great members here, and the way we all look out for each other. The other forums are OK to check sales listing and things, but the content here is better by far Also, we are free from the scammer/asshat PWC/T4D! http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?p=1226272&posted=1#post1226272 What are the odds that thread will disappear soon?
  9. Sweet, gotta love the ti chrono Avengers!
  10. You are buying from the wrong people then! Personally I buy Asian clone watches whenever possible, not ETA for this exact reason, aside from the absolutely terrible quality "Rolex style" movements, as they are overpriced to the extreme and fall apart/break at the drop of a hat..... As mentioned though, find the right dealer, find the right watch
  11. Wait until there are a few more new reps released, then you will see more activity, nothing happened this year after CNY, which is strange, and so things have been quiet..... Oh, and the day T4D or PWC (whatever his name is!) turns up here, is the day I leave
  12. Very nice indeed, I regret selling mine If I were you I would try to pick up a genuine Breitling calf strap, the rep ones are no comparison, and quite poor quality.....
  13. You could always visit the the world renown Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, and maybe other places like Hampton court palace, if that is your kind of thing. Both not far from central London and well worth a visit on a sunny summers day, both close to where I live in Richmond As for watches, you will be spoilt for choice in central London shopping wise
  14. You should check out the new gold ceramic Hublots! The re-released gold Hublot is towards the end of the thread
  15. I think if you reverse the deployant this problem may go away
  16. Mary has posted a different version! This is the one I want, though with a brushed bezel! Note the fantastic AR!
  17. I am getting an email message delivery failure when trying to contact Domi, seems my mail may be getting caught by a spam filter/server of some kind on Domi's side of things?? Any help would be appreciated!
  18. Read the thread! I will post the link again:
  19. You're welcome, just remember to ask your dealer for the style of Hublot you want, make sure you request a black date wheel if you want one, same for the bezel style too
  20. That's it, I am never eating soup again, no soup for you! I wonder how many peeps ordered this new watch after all? There was a lot of interest before hand, I have to imagine the watch is a good seller, we shall soon see......
  21. Very true, re-plating is easy and cheap, I had a crown and Rolex bezel re-plated, I think for less than
  22. Probably the same for any clasp that is gold plated, it will wear eventually, but for the opposite reason this is why we like the full ceramic gold watch
