I don't have a problem when somebody posts my pics... I do have a problem when somebody does without telling people where he got them from.

I do that too, so IMO it's not too much to ask.

@Lancelot: Thanks a LOT for your great tip....

In future - watermark your images if you are worried about copyright violations.

Thought about that quite often.... I think I'll do so in the future.

This is actually the first time I found someone using my pics....

Great pics, btw!!!

@Dluddy: Thanks for editing the post.

So I take it all the pics are obviously gen. How do they actually blacken the steel? I have been wanting one of these since they came out. Need a pick-up in the personal economy for that one though.

Yes, the watch in the pics is a gen - I had it for a few weeks and then traded it because the coating wore off on the edge of one of the lugs (probably from strap changing).

The Blacksteel is a DLC coated version of the standard Skyland with a different dial (obviously ). I also had this confirmed by Breitling.

Cheers,

bricky

PS: I'd like to have those pics removed..... thanks

Hey Bricky, long time no see (shame about TRC).

Age has not mellowed you I see

Phew, thankfully my copyright permissions are all in order

Normally I wouldn't care at all.... but when someone uses MY pictures of MY watch without asking me for permission I tend to be a little [censored]. So if somebody would be so kind to remove them....

?!

@mil_sub: Could you elaborate why you post pictures of a watch without asking the owner for permission to do so or at least state where you stole them?

Bricky!

Good to see you.

It's OK mate, we will move this to "Humour"....shortly.

Offshore

I still check in from time to time.... nice to see that some guys from the old days are still around

Dammit... seems like I missed the party - the guy is banned already.

OMG!

Just came across this thread... the good old times. It was fun, wasn't it?

I miss the Clive and Demsey show.

All noobs shall burn!

What a joke!

He just only need 10 seconds to spot the fake, to look at the low crown position unless someone put a gen movement into his fake. But which fool will do something like that?

And that's the first thing an AD do to spot , and consequently also some, no need to look further

I've read that from an AD member on a dutch gen forum.

Sure.... could it be that all of your knowledge comes from internet boards?

Of course there might be one or another salesperson that actually knows something about watches.... but most of them definitely don't.

Maybe you should try to get out a bit more......

After a week...it begun to work and it is still working well.

I would like to know why this happened and why the watch can be alive itself, with no help. Amazing for me.

It's a miracle! Praise the lord!

I don't get it.... why do you guys assume that somebody has knowledge about watches just because he's an AD? They sell watches to make a living, most of them know [censored]-all about what they sell.

The chance that an employee of an AD recognizes a fake as a fake is extremely low, unless it's one of those 10$ quartz beaters......

Hi!

1) They're ugly

2) They're ugly

3) They're ugly

4) They're ugly

5) They're ugly

Did I mention that those B&R watches are ugly?

Here's the back side wise guys.....it'll cost me 65 bucks plus shipping.

Dammit... I said I didn't wanna see it.

The problem with this rep is - it really looks like 65 bucks + shipping.

Not a bad copy?

Judging from the pic...

And I don't even wanna see the backside.

You know I was a noob when Bricky was in full flight and we got along very well from the get go, so there must be a right way and a wrong way. :laugh:

Ken

There definitely is Ken.... and you know that

Yes, I remember you, Bricktop.. Always nice to the newbies! :laugh:

I'm a bit older now... but they deserve(d) it

Well.. they are certainly true in terms of a working moonphase dial. That doesn't mean the dial shows the correct moonphase. AFAIK those subdials are simply connected to the hour wheel and turn way too fast....

Please correct me if there are reps with correctly working moonphase subdials.

The subject I remember best about the old RWG is the RWG Watch.... The LimitEd Edition "Collaboration 1". That was one of the issues that tore the place apart..

Remember TTKs comment about the money from the members had gone to new wheels for the webmasters Acura. :laugh:

Ah... good times

It was fun over there, that's for sure...

Enjoy giving reps, but be open about it!

Of course you gotta be open about it. I for example never lied about the fact that I wore reps.

But wearing them and giving them away are different things for me.

Reps as gifts are definitely a no-go for me. They simply aren't what they might seem to be, and that makes them pretty bad gifts IMO.

Like many "unknown" marques, it takes a bit of other more famous ones. I see shades of an Ingy, AP RO, Rolex Explorer in this particular model.

Well... they aren't as popular as Rolex, Breitling or IWC - just to name some. I wouldn't call them unknown though.

In fact they are quite an extraordinary brand, the idea of making the watches upgradeable by electronic gadgeds (instruments) makes them quite unique.

Just missed one on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=190180507505

BTW: I love this silver bezel!

This watch is 7 years old, beat up and definitely needs a service. 900 Euros aren't an extraordinary deal....

Where can you get one for 900EUR?!

Very good question...

Now look at that sapphire crystal, cant even tell it's there... that is how they should be, wish our replicas were this good.

If reps were that good, they'd cost nearly as much as the gens

Wow, I didn't know it had been discontinued.

It was replaced by the Avenger Skyland. Of course many ADs still have the CA in stock but when they're gone, they're gone.
