  1. someone brought in an ap rep ,and the owner buys it for 5 g's, the son doubts his purchase and runs the serial # through a database and it comes out fake. they call him back in ,'cause said he had another watch for sale ,they confront him ,he says he's been had too ! IDK ! here's the database they used but you got to pay to join. http://www.watchcsa.com/ anyone else catch this episode?
  2. on the one I just got from josh, date is still 2016, but I believe the red on the chrono hand is correct now too...
  3. h fac new version w/ superlume ,, here's some new pics from the park the other day
  4. what about the the new version josh is selling ? Isn't it an updated v2 w/ good dots , I just picked one up and love it! heres a pic
  5. ok so from what I heard I believe that mine is basicly an updated v2 h fac so not really sure if the're calling it a v3 or a v2.5 , I heard alot of the v2's had bad movements and that was one of the updates ,with that being said I did not see pics of movement in q.c. but did see on timagrapher thing and it was running -3secs /day. Out of my 4 different a7750's the only one that I had trouble w/ and had to send back was the one that has the regulator ,So not really sure how important that is but all my watches that I bought from josh run+or- 5 secs Now other dealers sell the noob v3 witch I dont know much about but in my opinion the hfac is better, and alot people think so too. the tells on mine are basicly just the dial embossing isnt as crisp as gen. or v 3 noob ,and manufacture date is wrong between lugs, the v3 has a messed up bezel and few other things. I'd say get the one from josh that I got ,slap a gen. dial in it and call it a day ! good luck hope this helps ya...
  6. yep black dial, should still have them they just came out, it's the one that is 298$ on his site
  7. very impressed with my new watch. here is a couple pics for people thinking of picking one up.
  8. here is my new avenger ,it's the new one josh is selling.
  9. yep! I make great money but won't be able to take the crap from a-holes forever. wont be long for my career change. Can't wait.
  10. I am a waiter and I always get stares or questions about my watches. It 's kinda funny when I 'm taking there order and theres heads start turning side ways to stare at my watch. Only been called out once by a guy who thought he knew all, conversation went " is that a real rolex ?" " No sir it isn't " " yeah I didn't see it sweeping" then I stuck it in his face " oh it sweeps sir take a closer look " then he was dumbfounded and I proceed to ask him what he'd like to eat. Funny how the sweeping second hand is how alot of people think you tell a real rolex. Another time wearing my sub witch is a crappy canal st. fake , guy ask me what year mine is ,then told him it was fake ,he said you could have fooled me and I've worn rolex's all my life , then to make me feel better and so he didn't look like a snob he says his was fake too (had on gold rolex day/date) I said yeah right and pointed out all the things to tell its real,he was real impressed and a classy guy left a good tip. I 've had other people ask about my watches and what I tell them depends on the vibe I get from them/how I think ,wearing a nice watch will affect my tips. If someones wearing a nice gen . alot of times I comment on there watch ,and tell them can't wait til I can afford a nice watch like theres instead of this fake then there flattered and leave me better tip. One time I spotted a guy wearing a tag grand carrera cal 17 , at another table ,I said hey nice watch man ,that the grand carrera? he got all impressed that I spotted it told me to sit down he took it off let me check it out we talked about watches I showed him my brietling rep he was impressed then later he pulled me over again to give me 5 bucks because he was so impressed I was the first person to comment on his watch ever. Some times when people say hey nice watch what kind is it ?I 'll say "oh it's a brietling rep or tag heuer rep" and they'll be "oh ok never heard of that but it's very nice." Around where I live people only know rolex ,so if I wear my tag, brietling ,or iwc I just got to worry about compliments. Sometimes when I get a real crappy /annoying table I think my nice watches intimidates them into behaving more like humans not animals that type table is gonna leave crappy tip regardless. I must say society is crazy theres all types of people out there and you have to handle everyone uniquely .I love the value for what you get in reps ,I could afford to go out today and purchase any genuine watch I please cash money ,but choose not to . So I'm not worried about the haters out there and what they think , they are easyly out wit'd with the examples in this thread. I sure am thankful for this forum and all you guys who rock the reps and truely understand that there alot more than just some chinese crap.....
  11. its definately sunken in about 2mm ,my pics make it look worse than real life ,but you can still see it fine , hey it's a rep, gonna be flaws to get used to.
  12. the car came this way didn't know why it reflected this way til I got into watches and learned about AR coating!
  13. if mod wants to combine my posts were they think its best go ahead ,I don't want to tick anyone off.
  14. thanks for the imput ,gonna take it to the watchsmith tommorrow, hope he can fix it
  15. works and keeps time fine, in any other postion ,but when crown faces ground the balance wheel stops after a couple seconds ,turn back face up and give it alittle shake and starts back up, anyone know whats going on?
  16. grand carrera with the a7750 valjoux works fine in any postion but when crown faces the ground? Any one got any sugestions ? Does it just need serviced , or do you think something is broke ? Anyone ever had this problem before with there 7750 valjoux?
  17. I think its the a7750 valjoux replica with working regulator 28,0000 beat. its in my grand carrera 36 I got from josh like 6 months ago.
  18. can any one lend a hand to tell me whats going on? stops after couple seconds when held crown side down, runs in all other positions .. does this mean something is broke or does movement need cleaned/serviced? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  19. nice watch, i got the same one , my logo is alittle off too.
  20. yes I belive thats true , on mine inside the caseback it's inscribed as titanium but it looks steel to me.
  21. heres a couple new pics I took . the one is of the modded side profile color. Does this color look close to the gen. ? it's kinda hard to get a good pic of it. anyone got pics of the gen?
  22. you mean the side profile topgun right? cause not sure what you mean by good, are you talking about the sharpness or the color ,the color is definately off ,its pure white ,the photo makes it look more silver,I have since repainted it , but it is very nice engraving , any one else think its a v2 case?
