Dear all, so now that CNY is over I hope the dealers will now get back to normal speed....I expect pics and offers of new reps every minute. Mrs. KING was allways first to update her website whith whats new and whats available.....but now her website is down for the last 2 days....or is it just me who cannot get in? Theo

Angus is very buissy with his website, shop and the back-lock of eMails he received during CNY. Give him some more days to get back to normal please! Theo Got a shipment note from him yesterday....so he is still lurking!

@snowdog & godzilla Angus can only sell what the factory produces for him.....CNY is only a good week but the factories (and therefor the dealers) allways need another week to get their things sorted (eMail-overload, lack of stock, payments without shipments due to closed CHINA). Angus and DSN are both very buisy guys....please give them some more days to get back to "normal". I myself wait for watches from both I ordered/paid 2 weeks ago but I am not worried and my next purchases can wait a little longer. You are both new to the boards and everyone here has learned the same 1 statute: PATIENCE Try again next week... Theo

Picked it up from the post-office this morning....some quick shots of an understatement-watch...a beauty

Maciek.....I saw a lot of your posts in the last weeks or so....and I allways felt the same when reading. I Believe I am the same kind of watch-freak you are....seeing the gold-watches gives me a kick but I allways thought if such a piece will sit correctly on my wrist and speak my language of style. My conclusion was: the gold versions will not do it for me.....I am just the well dressed, casual but stylish type o

....and how about some new HBB that are not 44mm??? Will they try any copy the Bigger Bang? For the RLX GMT II....I strongly believe they will do that.....and wait for Basel 2008...there will be more new pieces introduced and maybe the rep-factories are faster than the real company and come out with a rep before the gen hits the market (as for the PAM183/210...and PAM232/249).

I believe we will never see a good Safari.....the factories cannot do the dial color (witch is creme-white or ecru and NOT white!) and further more will they screw the color of the numbers and indizees (witch is dark brown and NOT black!). The hornback-gator will be a 3rd barrier.....only real gator with real hornback will complete the look.....and those are way expensive! For the NAVY.....could be easier but I think the factories will never do this watch with BLUE push-button covers/crown covers....the will stick to black...witch is false! Just my 0.02$ but I keep hoping for more ROO

Guys and gals, to get over the slow time of the chinese lunar year (or CNY) I will let you know about my own wishes, thoughts and suggestions. I do log-in every day....I do read every day....but due to the slow-down right now my mind is full of questionmarks what will be available after the chines labour gets back to work...what were our dealers hiding, what did they manage to hold back as a big-hello and great news to post after the 17th of Feb???!!! Well, I ask several dealers right before CNY what to expect for this year and only got the standard answer: " .. this and that and some of those during the hole year!" Thats not a lot of info...so my watchnutted brain plays its own cenario and this is what I like to come out...what I like to buy....what I like to be replicated. Feel free to chime in, make your own suggestions, tell us about your investigations and Sherlock-Homes-like stories: - I see the IWC Big Ingenieur with its 45.5mm case....whould be a pleasure and not that hard to replicate allthough the power reserve can be tough....but I would deffo buy one - I feel the AP ROO Shaquille O

Ubi...thats just the "normal" DSN 232 dial....got it mid last year and it makes my 232 look extremely nice! Theo

This one for today. And this one for Saturday: And here comes my Sunday:

Maciek is right....there is no such a cure like you mentioned. No chance.....but it will be a quick fix, only some screws to loose, a stem remove, get the complete dial/movement out and reset the hand. Every watchmaker is able to do so. Theo

Antonio, did they really seize these watches ??? Or is it just the fact they need a proper invoice for your package due the fact the package itself did not contain such an invoice (or an invoice way below the value)?!?!? When some watches got cought by my customs office, they simply send me a short notice to bring a proper invoice and I will get my stuff after paying a minimum fee (VAT and import tax). IF the dutch customs opened your package and declare the stuff inside as illegal watch-replikas....outch....but you should have received a letter with their reason for keeping the goods. Show that letter to Angus and he will deffo reship new pieces. Wish you luck, Theo

...looks quite nice...but you better choose the correct size next time...24mm!!!!

.....and so simple to rep

,,,,mmmh thanks for those pics ... I was thinking of this model but thought it could be a bit too small for my wrist. But this case looks/wears bigger than the meassured 42.5mm I am really thinking again.... Theo

Stevo my man....that looks amazing....and I did remember that I send you a pic of that real RLX 3646...you did great on that. Looking forward to receive your work you did for me. TG

Davidsen....very good-looking, you made great efforts....Thanks for sharing. Theo

@Maciek: ...I had the same thoughts like you....I have all possible Oracle-straps (kevlar, carbon and rubber). The endlinks fit the APbands well but some of the APbands will not fit to the case of the watch. As I mentioned before....only 1 out of 3 APbands (with the Oracle endlinks) fit my watch. Let me suggest one thing for your watch (black dial)....buy the Oracle rubber strap with grey stitching....you

Just a side-note....the real deal does come with push down crown as well! Theo

Some answers: - the MBW APROO all come with 2 little screws to attach the strap to the case - the endlinks are attached to the strap with 1 screw and 1 srewhead - older MBW

No no Kostas.....I don

As stated before: the case is red (or rose) gold matt finish and the dial is just gold....so there is deffo a difference from case to dial in the gold-colors. The rep

The gen used to have a 5-min "click" from A to C-series.....now they use 60 minutes. Theo

The picture does NOT show a T3 that ever made it to the customer.....it is one of those marketing-pics every company makes before their regular production. The most differnce are: - wrong subdials (of course) and the HOS - wrong date mag - the numbers should be surounded in silver, not black color Everything else looks quite good....as soon as the color of the dial will be fine (should be a dark grey/charcoral) it is a good rep. If I believe the meassuring of the dealers this watch is spot on regarding size 53,7mm with crown. Unfortunately all past efforts to boycott our dealers failed.....e.g. I for one was waiting for this model a long time...the quartz versions pi**ed me off (because of quartz) and other versions were way too small. Please don

I asked KING and she described the size as 57mm with crown.....correct
