Yes Sir TeeJay, I am eyeing the Milgauss closely. This rep also seems to be a stellar watch. Do you agree?

My new GMT.

You are correct Sir! My age has diminished my vision, however, I appreciate your point of view

Lani, Again I am blown away by your amazing review. Your photos and words are excellent, Mahalo's for your valuable contributions to our forum,

Lani That Millgaus is as beautiful as your photos. A truly awesome watch!! BTW my 25 year old daughter is now a licensed Tattoo artist. I paid $30,000 for her art school which she dropped out from, bt she did 2 years as an apprentice with no pay to get her license. She does awesome work. Not on me though, I have my art on my walls!

WELCOME Sir Limey!! RWG is THE place to be if you are a watch nut like me,and the other 20,000 or so members. Have fun and know that we are a family supporting each other. Don't be shy,

I got this GMT Swiss mvmt from Andrew at Trusty Time today, I am very happy. the quality is superb,

Wise words TeeJay, Sadly, I have fallen victim to this malady by way of Panerai. With luck , perhaps the Rolex fetish will be under control, however, your heads up is duly noted and appreciated. Here is another pic

Thank you TeeJay

The mailman made my day when he delivered my Rollie GMT two tone from our friend Andrew. The time piece is absolutely beautiful and flawless. This is my first Rolex, and I am happy as a lottery winner to get this watch. This quick I Phone pic is not the best, but believe me, the watch rocks!

Andrew of Trusty Time, has fullfilled my order of a few days ago, and even though things are difficult in China for rep dealers, there is absolutely no cause for concern when you order from our long time friend in China. I have bought at least 30 watches from Andrew, and his attention to customer satisfaction is better than here in the USA, The Man is a legend in this world of watch collecting, so please buy with confidence and know that you are dealing with the best in this hobby of ours, My previous posts caused some to think they should not buy for now. This is not the case. The best rep dealer is Trusty Time. My satisfaction and joy from the many time pieces cannot be calculated. Andrew is the best!!

Andrew's site is up and running fine . Try again and order anything with confidence.

WTF?? This post is 6 years old. I have to laugh. But.....Yes happy Thanksgiving 2012, in 3 months from now, but hey eat some turkey today. Noy while you are at work. Did you know that turkey has a natural sleep inducing protein called triptofan? It is a fact. That is why we all want to take a nap after a hearty Thanksgiving feast. Sorry, I am such a nerd with trivia.

Today Andrew assured me that orders will be sent promptly, however one of his employees has been arrested, and sits in a chinese prison. His freight forwarder was raided and many package were seized by the Chinese police. Fortunately mine was not one of them and it is on the way. This problem has been taken care of and customers may now safely order with confidence. The crackdown continues though and it is serious, far more so than anything in the past. There is a united front of Swiss watch makers filing multiple lawsuits in America, and Europe seeking damages, cease & desist, along with a litany of copyright infringement claims. The pressure on China is huge. Nothing like ever before. This has become a huge embarrasment to the P.R. of China. They are the second most powerful country on earth, and change is afoot to garner stronger diplomatic and economic relations. My personal feeling is that one should not procrastinate to long if you want a collection of rep watches.

Coming from a licensed pawnbroker, your explanation is highly plausible. What makes no sense is someone putting all those diamonds on a rep. You are correct though, obtaining the license cannot be a cakewalk and the straight and narrow path must be followed to stay in business. Thanks for your POV.

Uncle Dan's Pawn Shop sounds like the place I want to do business with. At least he is sort of honest calling it a rep. Cubic Zirconia diamonds , which are not diamonds at all dont make the watch $3850.00 more than it should be. He probably paid fifty bucks for it. By the way, Yuck! Ghastly looking watch.

Nice watch, and Gracias for the smokin hot babes. Reminds me of what my best friend once told me, he said , "Hambone, every year there is a new crop of 18 year old women.." Words to live by, but my age is no longer compatible. If a girl does not know where , or what "Europe" is, It is hard to carry on even a stupid conversation, let alone intelligent. What has happened??

I am sorry for you Tony. We all tend to regard our Dad as the bigger than life hero. I always did, even though he was not around for most of my life. When we are young and lucky enough to have our parents alive, even though they are no longer together, it evolves into a role reversal, where we , the kids become the parents. Perhaps this is God's way of teaching us that honoring our parents really is one of the ten comandmants, as they gave us life, raised us, and in their last years, taking care of them is the way of things. Life is not easy and life is a state of mind.

It would be prudent to wait ordering for a week or so as the Chinese police have arrested a number of people in the rep trade, and seized packages from the freight forwarders. We all get anxious and count the day till our time pieces arrive, but the fact is, and please believe me, the next 10 days are important to lay low for the sake of our hobby, and to support the guys who make this hobby possible. We all want the best outcome, and it is time to be as supportive as possible to these hard working family men who face possible prison terms. My feeling is that it will blow over. Pitfalls are the norm for our game and the pitfalls have never been more alarming. Be patient.

Did you say you are going to French a member?? Be sure to brush your teeth after. Sorry... you left yourself open there

This Milgauss is a damn good rep. Only professionals can tell the difference. I have compared this rep to the gen and they did a very good job on it. This is only my POV, but others here will have a better take on it..

I have been in touch with Andrew and there are some very harrowing events afoot. I'm not going to betray his confidence, but there is serious cause for concern now regarding the future of our hobby.

Nanuq, Sounds like you are in medicine. My Dad's tumors are benign, so they say, but the are filled with old jellied blood, The grapefruit sized one has had a stint placed, and is draining very slowly. It will take months. The apple sized tumor has a very thick surface which prevents endoscopy measures, Surgery is the only answer. The two growths on the pancreas have collapsed the stomach to the size of a tennis ball. As a result, he is malnourished to the extreme. Introvenous feeding is in place. I talk to Dad and the Doctors every day. Life is fleeting and unpredictable. I often spoke to my father about this situation, rather he brought it up, and said many times he never wants to be a vegetable.Making the choice to not recusitate him was overwhelmingly difficult. The Doctor helped me through this experience and made me realize that in a code blue, the measures taken involve broken ribs, extreme pain, and life support tubes for the duration. Allowing him to pass peacefully is the right choice and the one I made. To not do so, would be selfish on my part, as I dont want to lose my Dad.
