A list would great for us noobies

Next is the GMT's I hope !!!

What interesting is that Bk says he will be offering the WM4 (tc sub) case in the future, but at a different price point. I'm for one is going to hold out for the 3135 to be ready for prime time and then jump in and build a BK super franken (gen insert, dial, crystal, crown, bracelet) with a WM4 case (it maybe a WM5 by the time the 3135 is viable).

I wish I could find a highly modded blue snowflake at a reasonable price and not have to wait for a build to happen.

Someone over at RG is selling a gen YM dial and platinum aftermarket bezel. I was considering it but since I have a BK YM I really cant jusitify the extra costs.

Well I can tell you as a gen owner of mid range watches ( rolex, IWC's, PAM's ) I found I was rarely happy with beginner watches. I found for me, versions with the least obvious flaws I was more happy with. I wear watches for myself and myself only. I dont think a $600 + super rep or franken is needed. I never look at resale value of watches. I assume as soon as I buy a watch the value decreases.

I've asked TC about keeping the feet on my gen dial. He says its a no go for now. But he said he is going to keep looking into it.

Yeah, I freaking love my BKWM LV. Have been thinking about upgrading, Im kinda glad the 3135 hasnt worked out yet. I would have went hog wild.

I'll take 3.

If only the 3135 was ready for prime time.

Its what keep me from getting one, I really want one but I dont want to puts >$500 in mods (AR, fixing PR, strap, and reluming) when it can be a simple fix from the factory.

my first rep was a polex and a very bad one might I add.

you could also try to sell in on timezone. But as said earlier, you have no street cred. So its either going to be a hard sell or you have to sell below what is normally asked. One suggestion is to offer a 3 day grace period for the buyer to check it and return minus shipping with no questions asked.

I think you are better off looking at a gen. Check out a used Seiko or Hamilton If you dont care for used. Look at an Orient, or a Sea-gull. All make great quality watches around a price point that wont break the bank.

I view anything released on april 1 as suspect.

what size is it. I love the way it looks

Very nice mods. dome crystal is the way to go.

I love orient. Best gen watch for the money. Orient is the largest automatics watch company in japan. its also a sub division of Orient Star, Orient star is very well know for high quality automatics. Seiko owns both companies, but are hands off. You used to get a 50% discount on any orient watch (except the star line) from orient USA. Which they just stopped this month I think. . Again Awesome company. A lot of people just dont like orient USA due to their sales practice.

Here my $800 Dee and Ricky. Just for reference.

My wife says the same thing has hit the rep bag side also. I think Fang still hasnt recovered yet.

Errrr. I have a ricky & dee gshock that is valued at $800. A new or collectable frogman Gshock can go for $500-$600 easy.... an atomic solar mudman right now thats around $300-$400 I forget which Gshock is valued at over $2000 OOB Also you can bling out a gshock with diamonds and such..... Some Gshocks are made with titanium and gold There is a jewerly store in new orleans across from harahs that has blinged out gshocks for 10's of thousand of dollars So it would make sense to rep a watch that is made with $10 worth of parts and sell it for 10x more..

mine works fine

nope that box would cost a few hundred to be rep correctly. with the leather and wood and such

i cant wait to read his diary

Have you looked at your wrist ?
