I think the solution is to ship watches with drugs and weapons, specially explosives, as these shipments seem to be finding their way to EU and US fine

The Swiss make cheese. It tastes like crap, but they are selling it around well. ETA? Made in China. Copy ETA? Made in China. Just about anything else made anywhere? Made in China. Got it now?

Crap, I would never expect Chinese go bananas like that... I got a package from Andrew just before this happened (took 3 days, arrived last friday), and now have one from Josh stucked somewhere. Apparently the problem with tracking numbers started early last week, well, who could expect that?

This is Chinese copy movement.

OK, OK, but if I discover one of our delers accidentially has an overstock of old model Titanimum PAMs, I will make an assumption of who lefty47 is

font seems to be red on all models...bugger

Ok, but what is different with the CC 127 which is there $88 compared with $100+ from silix?

eBay purchases would most often be handled via paypal, which belongs to eBay since 2002, what I meant here based bit on clever scamming. What these scammers do is check what is most frequent item(s) bougth on eBay, or make a good guess if stats are not available, make a list of say 10 such items. Say a Harley Davidson belt buckle (might be off but this one they used actually), then they send disputed item e-mail for HD buckle to several million random e-mails, so what is the chance they will target somobody who just bougth this sort of item and is currently tracking this DHL package (ya know, the waiting impatience), then this e-mail pops, and before reading it carefully, the guy innocently logs on, upsss. Probability? Share of paypal acconts in the sample of targetted e-mails times the share of paypal users ordering HD buckles...you can work out the math, do some more resarch and will figure out knowing what is often traded on eBay does have utility for scamming purposes

Not entirely so; when you first open the account for instance you got the log-on link, confirmation of transanctions have the link, and https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run is actually legit link, but this is not where you would end up by clicking on it. Few other conmen favourites are disputed transactions and complaints; these also have links like this, and if you think of it you will figure out, but if you are new to paypal or just not carefult, ups. The disputed transaction fraud targets most common purchases from eBay, the message would say somebody complained against you and requested refund, these can be very well presented, they even use real templates, and fake originating e-mail, only thing is, it re-directs you to a fake website (looks good, but not all buttons are working

About a year ago there was an issue with (I think Eddie's) 063's, he was apparently recommending strongly against the 2892 version, The Zigmeister was claiming this is the best movment, better then gen Rolex, etc. but what we did not bring into dicussion was the possibility Eddie knew something about those particular 2892 movemnets we did not -- copy or scrap or something like that?

Sapphire is a synthetic material, so yeah, this is a tautology really, but what dealers mean is fake sapphire, or simply put, crap window glass.

This is probabably familiar to many people, but if not, be on guard!

I often hear people's paypal accounts get taken over etc. well, they might not have realised that at some point they logged onto fake site like that.

yeah if you take it swimming

I dont' really see what is so dumb about stamp collections... Ok, back on topic, your watch needs cleaning, stop it and mail it to The Zigmeister, something is in the movement and needs to be removed, running it will only cause damage.

What ya saying Clive, Josh has dials with "t"?

www.parcelforce.com

OK who is the jerkoff doing this? C'mon, Niel's photo, at least he is not saying, haya look at my new Pam like some idiots did quite a few times over there already :akuma:

No they don't

Fake of course. Hope this is not one of our members...

Didn't we have this discussion last week? As far as I remember Josh explained the issue of where 117 and 581 are coming from, and that only the supplier of 117 can produce sapphire crystals

Fake. But a good one, has ETA movement see the wrong size font on the movement, dead give-away, yeah, he could fix the pin though ...I'd pay for this $200 straight away

Nice, very nice. Josh's B for B is another must-buy

Did he say London? Isn't Finepics doing this sort of things?

Changing the topic a bit, anybody tried to fit an ETA movement in this? Would it be 7750 or 7753?

She played lots of hockey I presume
