  1. Most Gen H BB models have a ceramic bezel ... that is an important factor to many .. thus worth extra $$$ to them.
  2. Never heard of these till now ... very nice ..I like the Wavemaster.
  3. Ruby seems to have a specialty in the Daydate and Datejust market. Why not have a chat with her. I have never purchased full gold Rolex models but have two Yellow gold BCE reps and I am very happy with the plating. I am sure that the Rolex version plating would be similar.
  4. I would be interested in something in a Breguet or a Patek and perhaps a Muller tonneau.
  5. As far as dress watches go ... I like Breget style. I would be in for one.
  6. Very special watch ... while the correct hand stack movement is a time bomb waiting to go off it makes up one of the things that makes this watch a real super rep. I wish you trouble free mileage with this beauty enjoy and thank for posting your photos. It is one hot watch. Cheers
  7. I like that watch a lot ... hmmm .. at $600 something to think about very seriously. Thanks for the heads up post.
  8. Welcome ... this is a very good place to hang your hat, with a very helpful membership. Cheers
  9. Dial is wrong size on the rep ... looks silly ... it needs to be made larger to fit the 40mm case. It appears that the dial from the 38mm rep was used .
  10. I often have and am very happy with everything .. one of my favorite dealers. I highly recommend dealing with Jay. Service is excellent and prices good. I have purchased 5 reps and all were as represented and without problems. You must be patient with communication and shipping speed.
  11. Welcome ... this is a great place to learn and share you enjoyment of rep watches. People here are very knowledgable and willing to share so jump right in.
  12. I have used coffee to stain the lume markers and it worked well. I left rep Sub dial sitting in the remains of a coffee in the bottom of a cup for a few hours. It did give the dial an aged look. The coke ides sounds good as well. I have read of members aging Sub bezels by soaking them in bleach. Good luck and do post the results. Cheers
  13. I have owned and run a successful business for 24 years now. I would never B.S. with this line of "opportunity awaits to make big money after some other company comes along and buys us for a fortune". I have been pitched with this line a few times. This ad is all hype and no substance. I have a friend who provided free legal work for a guy for 3 years. The guy was a stock broker who was constantly in trouble with the law and industry overseers. He was a master BS'r and hurt a lot of people and was in the end suspended for life in three provinces in Canada. My buddy did all the guy's legal work for free in exchange for 100,000 shares in a company this broker was a shareholder. This company was on the verge of being sold to either Microsoft, IBM or Oracle for more than $50 per share. Who knew on any given day who was buying it for how much eventually the price rose to over $100 per share.This company is a legit software developer with a good product but nobody has come up with any big money offer to buy it out. It has a software program that it developed that allows different database software to have a single user interface allowing the user to have to learn only one software but use it on multiple types of Databases. So, my friend gave up approximately $80,000 in legal fees for three years work for these shares. He has been strung along for 8 years now that any day one of the big tech giant is going to come along and do the buy out and he will be able to retire and live the good life with a new $160,000 Mercedes, a Rolex Daydate and a really big boat . He has not seen a penny but he has brochures for the car, watch and boat. IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, Sun all passed on buying the company. This software company still hypes the buyout story and the principals sell off shares regularly to big dreamers with bucks to part with. Moral of this story ... if it sounds too good to be true it likely is. I am thinking that anybody who fits the criteria and sends in their resume could be the victim of identity theft. Just a thought.
  14. The PO in rose gold on a strap is the right choice and upgrading to the Hadley Roma strap is a great move.... Enjoy your watch it is a beauty. I have considering that watch. For me it is between that and the Omega rose gold anniversary Speedmaster Broad Arrow. Both nice .. and a tough choice. Again, congrats and enjoy your Rose gold PO ... it is a real looker. Cheers
  15. Great watch Edwin ... enjoy it and please post photos of your TT Sub after you receive it. Cheers
  16. Oh yea ... this is design at its best. A true beauty. I am waiting for the rep to come out. I almost purchased the MK2 homage but the wait time is too long between parting with your cash to receiving the watch. Then again I would have had it by now had I purchased it in January.
  17. Kruzer makes a very good point ... be careful. Even the Rolex brand does not guarantee a profit when re-selling after buying new. Only certain models of the brand hold their value well. On the other hand if you love the watch and have to have and do not care if you lose money go ahead because life is short and you may as well enjoy yourself. Cheers
  18. Pictures would help us to decide whether we like it. Can you post some?
  19. A Masterpiece ... I congratulate you on a great bit of work .. enjoy it. Cheers
  20. I have used the high temp grease solution to great success. It has to be high temp grease so that it will not melt. Put a small amount into the part of the rotor that holds the rotor berings. Cheers
  21. If the do make the 40mm Daydate case they can then make the 40mm Milgauss. It seems that the 40mm case would provide a lot of opportunity for making $$$$$ and this is what drives business. I see the 40mm in our future.
  22. Good for you Sir .. after what you went through you deserve a win ... this time it's Christians 1 Lions nothing. Cheers
