The Railmaster should be able to cover you for the whole trip but just in case you feel like a change bring along the Breitling SOSF. - Cheers

Perhaps a relume is in order. The Zigmeister can make it perfect for you. Cheers

Re-casing is a common enough practice. In the rep world we call those Franken watches. In gen world they are just called fakes. On eBay it is buyer beware. Unless you know what and whom you are dealing with very well - eBay is a risky place to shop.

No "Prying off the back". .... Put on a pair of rubber gloves and twist off the back of the watch. The rubber glove will give you the needed grip to twist off the back. Stick around this forum and you will learn many things about the rep world: ..... Number 1: there are no Swiss made reps - Number 2 if Blue Fakes lies about having Swiss made reps you can expect that they will lie about many other things including selling a Daytona rep with a genuine Zenith movement for $300. Andrew's Daytonas have both thin and fat hands depending on which Daytona version you want to buy. Try using the search function for a while as you will find most of the answers to questions already posted by someone. Cheers

I have been searching for a vintage Blancpain 50 Fathoms rep for ages. No luck whatsoever. I have found a most beautiful homage watch of the vintage 50 Fathoms and would like to share this with anybody else into the Blancpain dive watch. I have always believed the vintage 50 Fathoms to be the most beautiful dive watch made from a style standpoint. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The company making this watch is called MIIK and the watch is called the Stingray. It prices out between $550 and $800 depending on features selected so it is not cheap. I am not affiliated with this company and receive no compensation for sharing this. Here is a photo of the Stingray - 50 Fathoms homage: And here is the link to their web site: MIIK website link Cheers

Stephane's point is about contribution. The question is whether we as members of this forum should offer up earned knowledge to somebody who has contributed nothing to the body of knowledge and the financial support of this board. The information that UB7 wanted is available for the taking, all that is required is a little bit of work on his part. The search function will give answers and it does not require an upgrade to VIP status for it to work. Silence to a Newbies request for answers from the membership is not rudeness. I would suggest that it is rude to simply enter into a forum and make personal requests of people you do not know or do not know you. For security purposes it should be required that Dealer info never be given to non VIP members. However, that is not my call to make. I encourage you to think about the future of this board when giving away the "keys to Kingdom for free" and remember that for it to survive we all must contribute. Cheers

I am unsure why you posted this - your tone is unfriendly and the post offers nothing helpful to the new member. VB was only sharing and trying to be helpful. If you have an issue with her personally perhaps a PM would be better than posting it. Cheers

UB7 Welcome to the board. You will find that this forum will provide you a wealth of knowledge on the subject of reps. Keep in mind that the information you recieve comes at a cost to some. I refer to the people who own and run this board. After you feel comfortable with the idea of contributing the option of upgrading your membership to VIP status will offer you even more than you currently experience and your financial contribution will go a long way to keeping the board up and running as a very useful resource in the future. Also, you may want to give the search function a workout - I have found it very useful. Come back and post often. Cheers

That is simply amazing

Yea Baby - - that is an amazing pic.

That watch and strap combo is amazing - Cheers

It should be simple for people to figure out the value of this forum. Just think to the first Aha moment you had reading a post here. Remember how easy it is to get a question answered or to find a part or just the right watch for just the right price on this forum. The forum and the people who run it need help now and it is time for people who have not donated but have benefited to ante up. It does not have to be a big donation but if members who come here and gain so much without having given anything financially would give just a little that would likely be enough. I have seen that it is the same people pulling the wagon all the time so at the risk of pissing people off I am calling the free riders out. Give now! Cheers

I purchased two and have one for wearing and the other for display. This watch has always been a special desire for me and having the rep version is good enough. I am happy. Cheers

Donation made - I am still way ahead in the value equation and appreciate this forum - Cheers
