Hi all,

Can anyone help me out with upgrading of membership?

When I get to the paypal page, everything is in another language and I cant seem to find any option to switch it back to English.

Appreciate any advise, thanks in advance

Cheers,

I asked BK to do a slightly taller gasket then what he normally uses. taller gasket=stronger date mag. the last time he swapped crystals the xstal was way to low and when he brought it up it did make the mag seem nice and presentable not so much on the weak side I think it was a 2.7mm

I agree. Have seen some subs with thedate mag sitting too low kinda like non-existent. If i'm not wrong the gen sits quite high right?

you just sold me the watch! Beautiful pics

PTs offering close to 400 for that w/o shipping. I'd say contact BK and you'll never be disappointed. Check out pics of his offerings for the sub LV in other members post you;ll fall in love instantly!

I've similar problems with the 088

1. GMT hand is in a world of its own. Doesn't function alongside with the other hands

2. Power reserve is unstable sometimes 1 day sometimes less.

3. sometimes the watch just stops for an hour and starts on its own again.

4 Lume is green while on others its blue

187 for sure!

is this the caitlin version? Looks great!

Yup same here

When I compared it to my 111 the AR is indeed weaker esp on the cyclops its close to nothing! GMT hand is in a world of its own. Power reserve has been really bad and unstable, on good days its 1.5day without wearing,bad days just half a day w/o wearing.

When I do wear them, it stops randomly..

Lume is blue on some members but green on mine.

gonna send it back to the dealer for a refund or exchange. I guess the GMT complications or dirty movement is the probfor it.

really GREAT pics! Stunning watch. Regret buying the dsn version JUST before this came out

nasty! nasty piece! throw it back to the dealer!

Very cool only makes me more and more excited to get mine back from BK and PBdad. BK is installing gen crystal,insert,crown, and tube a long with clarks click spring. also I asked BK to use just a slightly taller gasket to give the date mag a little more pop lets hope that works

I'm waiting on mine too! The wait kills..

What did you mean by taller gasket to give the mag a little more pop? Make it sit higher?

Thanks guys for the input! Much appreciated.

Frank, I guess I'll just do with clark's xtal for now

Eiderdaus, sorry wasn't clear on that. Yeah I'm looking to source for the gen Insert only. Have looked through ebay but nothing good. Saw a few badly scratched up ones. Any idea where can I source for those?

Coolchu001: Will def check out TRF! Thanks for the heads up!

i have a few but got tiered answer questions about etches crowns or Ss so i did not put them for sale anymore

aww.. shame I hoped on the wagon too late..

Well, if you ever do want to sell them,let me know

Hi guys

I've fallen in love with Rolex not long ago and have placed an order for BK's tw sub.

I've always been into pams and wasn't much a modder myself then. Having read many reviews on fellow member's sub, I see most have did the xtal and bezel mod to gens, but I can't seem to find the source provider for such?

Read the parts trading section and nothing is available now for gen xtals/bezel for the sub. Could anyone point me in the right direction for that?

Thank you very much!

Cheers,

Jkay, that was really really informative, you even included a map! Thank you very much, truly appreciate it!

Will def check it out if the floods ease up.

MBK is the name of a shopping mall. It translates to English as "Mall of Everything" There is a market stall in MBK shopping mall which specializes in higher quality replicas. They do not have an Internet presence. You have to seek out a someone who makes trips to the MBK mall and picks from their stock for re-sale here.

You can think of MBK as a factory, I suppose ... not a dealer. Certain dealers can supply you with an MBK watch or watch parts.

Thanks Jkay! Finally someone has enlighten me in regards to this MBK thing. I'm new to this rep world and RWG is the first forum I've joined so pretty much alien to such abbreviations. Have learnt some through reading older posts but learning is a never ending process right?

Anyway, the first thing that came into my mind was MBK shopping mall in Bangkok Thailand? Is that what you meant? If thats the case, I make yearly trips to Bangkok and plan to visit the country again end of 2011 or early 2012 depending on the current flood situation there. Where abouts can I locate this shop that has higher quality reps? The last I went, i saw numerous shops offering very low quality reps...

Thanks again Jkay!

did you do an AR mod or were the pics straight up the watch from dealer?

This guy is indeed hilarious! I can understand some mandarin and the way he jokes(dirty jokes at times) about in his video is just soo entertaining!

I've never purchased from him before but did communicate briefly. He price isn't too far fetched and from the videos, looks like most of his watches are quite OTB would you say?

My main reason of not purchasing from him is that 90% of his web is in mandarin and even his email responses are in mandarin, I've got to use the google translator but its just too much trouble. Not sure of his return policies and stuff too....

Hi,

Does anyone know or can recommend any good watchsmiths in Singapore who is capable and willing to work on rep Panerais and Rolex servicing?

Cheers,

Saw a couple of previous posts earlier on the Hbb evo. They all seem to have a hue of blue tint AR on them, any idea if the Gen has it as well or is it clear AR?

I've been to the AD side of the page but I can't seem to locate the much mentioned, "MBK" seller?

Could anyone point me in the right direction for that? Thanks!

is that the pam176 recently uploaded in the panerai facebook page?

Hi guys,

I've read somewhere in this forum that Taka is in Singapore? I am making a trip to Singapore soon and would want to contact him for AR coat on the PAM111 and 187, however I can't seem to find that post anymore.

Does anyone know how can I contact him? I've read that Chieftang does AR as well but just saw that he has just concluded his saleslist for the current run.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Benny

there's a review comparison about noob and H factory 111M

the correct CG seems to be the noob CG if i'm not mistaken...

111m H factory is actually to tight,,,(correct me if i'm wrong according to gen)

anyway the 288 feels unreal slightly heavier than 111M

haven't hands on the gen 288 but i'm pretty sure as a noob and all my friend believe so my rep is a real deal...

grab if got a chance...won't disappointed.,,,

Wow, totally didn't expect the 288 to be heavier than the 111. I'm a sucker for solid, heavy watches and have been holding back on the 288 mainly because I thought it would be lightweight.

My pam111 was from the h factory and i wldnt say the cg lever is wobbly but I wldnt say its tight either..

thx,,

think about to do some mode to 111M

but not sure yet..

seems CG wrong on my pam 111

Looking good! I got my pam111 from josh as well. He's great to deal with, one of my favourite ADs

What seems to be the prob with your 111 cg? Any close ups?

By the way, how does the 288 feel? Solid? Weight?

Great choices
