Good Job! Chris! Glad to see your back! Best Regards, Raymond

Lani Bro: You're truely master of women! I like this part "Baby... there is nothing that I would want more than my Daytona.. but I would rather have you and less expensive watches.. because you are my only love and watches come second,.. but if you want to get it for me.. up to you.. I'll just stay with my cheaper reps" A million THX for your input! Best Regards, Raymond

All these year, I'm so proud of myself had learn so many knowledge about watches. No one ever believe I'm wearing reps; it's not because I got a stable, high-ranking job. It's because my knowledge. Many Gen owner don't know so much compare with us. Everytime I talk with my watchsmith, he's quite impress. He seldomly meet someone who can share & discuss with him. Especially for a reps collectors. Gen owner always comment us are not real watch collector; we're not respect the brand, design, the effort by watchmaker. In my point of view; I gain enough of knowledge before I have my choice on Gen. Please get me a chance to THX RWG & all our members here! I won't quit my hobby! Best Regards, Raymond

Agree.....Maybe I should talk with her rather than make my own decision. Why my wife not support me on this hobbies? Because they're fake; is worthness (from her point of view). I argue with the subject over & over again all this year. She is not a big spender; she don't like to buy luxury bag, cloth, watch...etc. That's why she think I spend too much money & time on something worthness. Daytona really my dream watch; but the super over price before finance crsis which make me I won't own one forever...It's not because I can't affort it; but It's way too much preimum on list price I need to pay. I think my wife just want to make me happy rather than push me to quit this hobby. thx for all your input brothers! No matter whether I going to get the Tona or not. I won't leave RWG! It's too much fun & knowledge here! Best Regards, Raymond

Participation in here is not a problem. RWG became my second home in these 2 years; I'm here everyday no matter how busy in my life. But I also can't control myself when I found all you guys getting another super rep. That's really killing me! I also promise myself that I won't buy rep anymore after I got my Gen GMTIIc...But this faith won't hold after a month.... Damn Damn...Difficult decision... Best Regards, Raymond

Continue to collecting reps in secret.....That's impossible. My wife is not a clever lady; but not a stupid one. She recognize all my reps; even I change the strap & she will know & ask..... Best Regards, Raymond

I like that! Interesting! BTW, My wife didn't know my GMTIIc is GEN!!!! I got a rep before and then I sold the rep to buy the GEN...... It's a huge secret.........If anyone here tell her....I'll going to kill you ALL Hahaha... Best Regards, Raymond

Dear friends & Buddies: I had collecting reps almost 3 yrs already; some of you may know my wife is not support my hobbies at all. That's why I keep selling part of the collection in order to get a new one. Right now; I still keep 12 reps + 1 Gen Rolex GMTIIc. Since the end of last year; the finance crsis occur; all gen watches price drop rapidly within these few months. And I found that even a Gen rolex daytona; you can buy them very easy in LIST PRICE!!! I did told to my wife about this matter......My wife have an apartment in her homeland & Today she just confirm by the real estate company that her the apartment had been sold. My wife already received the deposit from buyer & waiting from the down payment after 10 days later. She know I like the Rolex 116520 Daytona very much. Tonight; she promise me to buy the Daytona for me once she got the payment. However; after I got the Daytona. I must quit rep world forever........ If you were me; will you accept the offer? Best Regards, Raymond

Nice Watches! Wear them in good health! Best Regards, Raymond

Dear All: I had missed 2 times to get this beautiful "MBW Patek Philip Aquanaut 5165A" already.............Last week; I found Narikaa(Reg) will goto Thailand on 19/4...........After back & forth several emails communication with Reg.....I made up my mind & won't let it slip away from me for the 3rd time...... So; I paid my deposit & confirm my order. Yesterday; I received email from Reg told me that he got my watch & finished the QC. Today; he send me 2 photos I requested ......Aquanaut should on its' way home to me by EMS from thailand this evening, Hope it arrive soon; Stay tune for the detail photos & review............. Best Regards, Raymond

Leave it alone....Everythings are wrong on this model..... They will clone the Ultimate version Best Regards, Raymond

Woo......You are GREAT man! Best Regards, raymond

This V.4 came from dealer on repgeek "PWC" It's different from "TWINS" ultimate version. date windows is beveled + the fonts on bezel are correct thickest as Gen. However; it only came with clone ETA2836. I also very interest to get a best DSSD. But the Bezel fonts are way too thin in current model & also the date window is not correct. Let wait & see whether the factory release the V.5 or Super Ultimate version.... BTW; I hate the term "Parts interchangeable with genuine (except Dial & movement)" on Andrew Site............. What's the point he want to say? Best Regards, Raymond

I saw this in HK AD windows around 2 months ago. List price around USD28,380...... BR, Raymond

If you like it; I recommend you to wait a little bit. Because the bezel is "Ceramic Sandwich Numeral Bezel"; that means no full ceramic. They will make an ultimate version use Full ceramic. Best Regards, Raymond

I got the same strap with white stitch for my MBW before. Strap is nice quality & very comfortable. But the installation prcoess is absoluely painful.... Is it easy to install APband on @12sec ROO? Any difficult or fitting problem? I just place an order for my RB2...... Best Regards, Raymond

Can't hold myself & just place an order in APband to tailor made the following strap for my RB2. Capolavoro alligator with Scuba Blue stitch; need to wait 3~5 weeks. I need to hide my credit card statement way from my wife...otherwise she will cut my card & my both hands into 2 pieces....Shxt... BTW, anyone try to install APband's strap onto @12sec AP? Is it still very difficult as MBW model? Best Regards, Raymond

About the AR; you won't noticed the different between Factory coat & chief/k2222 coat. However; once you try to take some photos for it. You will clearly understand the difference.....The background reflection is very annoying when I took the above photos. Compare my 3717 photos which I took before. There're no reflection on the crystal at all! Best Regards, Raymond

Dear Friends: Got this beautiful baby in last month; however I'm too busy to take some photos for it. 44mm full ceramic case is a little bit lighter & a little bit bigger than my full stainless steel 3717. Crown is much bigger than 3717 & also it's same as Gen the thread is hidden. Chrono-Buttons are made by Ti & brushed in dark colour. Crown is polished Ti & the colour much lighter than Chrono-Buttons. Dial is well made & same as Gen; but some members complain that the sub-dial should have a ring around it. All case back engravement are correct & according to maker; serial no is different on each of them. The TopGun label is under a piece of thin transparent plastic. Not need to worry sweat will make the case stick on my wrist or the label will melted after it got wet. Rep strap is thick & a little bit hard. So; I decided to install a pair of Kelvar style rubber strap with white stitch on my TG which I got before. Nicely fit & very comfortable. I request Puretime Angus to swap it to ETA770 when I order; most member may know I don't like A7750 at all. This ETA is the most accurate I ever have; +/-1sec/per WEEK!! Crystal had been double AR; however compare with the K2222's 3717 crystal before. It's not good enough. Maybe I should send it to coat again future. OK, enough to talk; photos time: @Puretime Angus: thx so much again for QC & swap the movement for me! Good job! Best Regards, Raymond

Yep! That's why I say this strap really impress me! BR, Raymond

Dear Friends: Long wait had ended! My AP RB2 finished its' servicing & arrived today. Overall; it's one of the best rep I ever have. Simple comment as below: Case : Ti case is much lighter than Stainless steel. Brush are even & high quality, no sharp edge in every single corner Bezel : Ceramic Brushed on surface & high polished on side which give a lot of contrast. It keep shining when you move your wrist. Crown : Big crown let you adjust your watch easily. However; the gasket on tube have me feel strange when I tighten the crown.....First time when I screw in the crown; almost make me thought the thread had already stripped..:mad: Dial: Day mag a little bit too right compare with gen. I guess it's one of the flaw of this rep. Leather Strap : Quality is over my expectation. High quality & extremely soft. Try it first before you really going to order a expensive one from APband.... Deployant Buckle : Ti also; same construction as all SS @12sec. However; it's not luck for me as usual due to my skinny wrist 6"...Therefore I swap it to the Tang buckle from APband. It's Stainless Steel; but brushed into a dark colour & match the Ti colour. Case back : All engravement is clear & accurate. My RB2 is 0066/1000, How about yours? Movement : I request watchsmith to overhaul service & regulate my movement under +/- 4sec/per day. Until now; it keep very accurate according to my computer's clock. tomorrow; I'll know whether it fullfill my requirment or not. Running sec@12 smooth like silk; no jumpy or jerky. Also, Chronograph running smooth & rest at dead zero. Overall; I'm very happy with my RB2. It's so long time I haven't got a rep which make me feel it's so beautiful, Luxury & an expensive watch feeling. I heard many members complain about the failure of @12sec movement. According to The Zigmeister; it's a stable & sucessful modified A7750 like @3sec before. Time will tell how it really work; from now on it'll stay on my wrist or sleep in my winder. Let's hope it'll keep running & error feel! @Puretime Angus : Thx so much for QC my watch!!! Photos Time! *** Please Don't mind the day is not center; it's almost 23:00 so the day wheel start its' move...*** best Regards, Raymond

Dear The Zigmeister & Francisco: Thx for your comment & reply! When the 2nd time this problem appear. I brought it to my local watchsmith & he told me that the problem was came from the bad crown design. I wonder a gen eta7750 also got same kind of problem 3 times....The many point is: after I un-tighten/ un-screw the crown. It work perfect & automatic winding normally; even I try to manually wind it. It's very smooth. once the crown screwed back. It won't wind anymore. So, is it the problem came from reversing wheel; not from the crown? Best regards, Raymond

Dear All: This is the 3rd times I have got the same problem on my ETA7750 crown. Before they have problem; they work fine; winding smooth & keeping very accurate time as they should be. After 6~8 months later. I found they just stop in my winder. Then I found that once the crown had been tighten. The automatic winding won't work; if I unscrew the crown & put them back into the winder. They'll work perfectly......Any one have any idea about this problem? Seems all my A7750 didn't have this strange problem. Best Regards, Raymond

Have you notice that something wrong with the tube? You better stay out of water.....
