Great watch and great photos! What is your wrist size? Trying to determine how 41mm would look on my puny wrist.

Thanks, it makes sense now.

Thanks, you've been very helpful.

Thanks everyone for your comments and recommendations; they have been very helpful.

What does the word "needles" mean in watch terms? For example, There is lume on the "needles." As a watch novice and being new to this forum, I couldn't find a definition.

Reading through some of the more trust worthy and respected rep vendor sites, I find they are always touting how "accurate" their products are; "just like the original" and "most accurate out there." Some even offer special upgrades to make their watches more accurate. WHY wouldn't an application of a quality lume be something that would be a simple upgrade??? I mean, if it costs a little more money, why not pass the cost on to the buyer? If someone doesn't want people to know he/she has a rep, the lack of lume would be a dead give away. Come to think of it, maybe the gen models of the reps mentioned above didn't come with lume???????? HELP!!

Yes, I have concerns about whether or not I'm buying real Swiss too. I contacted Trusty and asked the question, "Is the Swiss ETA 2836-2 movement in the Datejust you are selling Swiss made?" The answer was, "It is a genuine Swiss movement." Can that mean anything but that the movement is Swiss made? I can faintly hear the words of an infamous person saying, "It depends what the definition of the word is, is."

What specific Trusty Datejust did you buy? I was told that the Datejust I was interested in - all stainless with stick markers did not have lume applied anywhere on the watch; is this standard with the gen of this model? Thanks for you reply.

Does the rep Datejust with Roman numerals and Datejust with stick markers have lume applied to them? If so, what kind, where is it applied, and is it adequate to your needs? Thanks.

Yes, and........................?

Considering the Day Date or Datejust with ETA movement (approx. $256.00) from Trusty or Perfect Clones. Plan "B" is an Orient Rolex Day Date look-a-like ($159.00) with an Orient "in house" automatic movement. Anybody willing to comment on the quality of these two movements? (I know that "in house" automatic movement is not a lot to go on but, maybe the price of these watches is some indication as to their quality)?

Please answer the following three (3) questions for me: 1. Other than the internal mechanisms, do you know if there are any differences between the "Asian" and "ETA" Omega Bond 007 Limited Edition watches sold by quality/trusted forum vendors (i.e., Trusty, Perfect Clones, etc.)? 2. In your opinion, do you consider the expenditure of the extra $$$ (over $100.00+) for the ETA over the Asian worthwhile? Why? (i.e. One can't be repaired; Parts are hard to find; etc.) 3. Is there a forum watch vendor, in your opinion, that you would now buy one of these 007 watches from? Thanks very much for your comments and recommendations.

Yes, I get it. I haven't done enough research (searching). I'll have to try harder and do better. In the meantime, I'll put on my fire proof underwear. Thanks

Could somebody please tell me how I can go about contacting MBW dealer(s)? If you can, please be specific. Because I'm new to the replica world, a response like, "...Joe at RWT..." or "...Tony at ABC..." unfortunately won't help a newbie like me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
