LOL you're intrepid enough to share the fact. I use sunblock sometimes, being in a tropical country and all, but no make up of any sort. You might be interested to know that in Japan and Korea, it is common for men to use foundation or other forms of make-up.. these are generally lighter than the ones used for women though.

If not for the chick-yellow on the inner bezel and hands, this would be a gorgeous watch!

Yes and that finally DOES answer the question the OP posted

It was a very silly oversight of me!

Oh yes, my bad. The BBK 44mm strap and HBB straps are indeed the same. I did forget that there is a 44mm BBK, pardon me.

Hey, MM, look at this! http://rockway.biz/en/product/symbolism_indian_legend_indian_motorcycle_in_the_background_with_the_wolf/ 220 Euros, cost more than some reps! And actually, yes I do own a T shirt like that but thanks to you I am considering donating it. Lets not clutter up a new guy's thread ok?

Nope, the BBK straps and the BB straps (genuine or rep) are definitely different in measurements. If you find them to be identical, then one of your watches have got the wrong sized straps fitted on.

And I thought Stu was MY friend... Actually both Andy and Stu are guys I consider to be mates. Congrats mate for the lovely watch A. You got one of the most accurate reps in the game btw. I once tried on the gen at an AD and could not carry it off. Get the chrono pusher cap replaced buddy, and you got a keeper!

No worries at all, thats one of the primary purposes of this forum, to help and share, so that others may learn and grow in knowledge.

I agree with AKTime. Each of us here has our own preference of dealers and as to what and when, it's rather personal information which I would share with friends via PM. You'll get more adventurous folks than me hopefully. Sent from Mars using tapatalk

I mean it man.. See how similar it is to your steel HBB? Put her on a hornback and she'll be a beauty to behold.. actually, just order one and put her on and she'll be a beauty to behold anyway!

You need one buddy. No regrets. Sent from Mars using tapatalk

And they tell me the Dutch can read pretty well :lol: To the OP, forgive my Dutch friends, who are often irrelevant, but still make awesome friends once you get to know them. I would say go for the 005 if you want something simple and classic, and the 243 if you prefer something more rugged and chunkier. The ones you listed are all good choices and it really boils down to what you prefer personally. I would take the 005 if I can only choose one.

The bezel screws are not aligned for this one, but as I said, so were the ones on 2 of the gens I saw. Its a nice watch, and if you could accept the first, then I would tell you to go ahead to accept this one. Alvin

To me, this is a very reasonable first rep. Yes the bezel screws are not perfectly aligned, but I have seen at least 2 gens with the same issue! This is, afterall, a mid-range rep.. I would accept it if I was the buyer, knowing the flaws and all. They are not egregious defects, and trust me when I tell you that on the wrist, a lot of replica watches look darned good, flaws and all.

I think you mean Asian movement? The A2824 clone has so far served me rather well and honestly to me as a wearer, it has functioned perfectly well in terms of start up, time keeping capability and power reserve (over 40hrs). Of course, as per any other movement, ETA or not, it must be cleaned, oiled and regulated before it can be expected to perform optimally. So yes if you like the watch, you can be assured the A2824 clone is a nice choice. Don't hold back on account that it has an "Asian" movement. To be technical, the Miyota is an Asian movement too. Just from a different part of Asia. Sent from Mars using tapatalk

There is a big difference between "I live in a poor country" and "I am poor" J.. But yes, I understand how you live, to a certain extent. But still, not everyone goes around everyday with bodyguards

And with that, you just confessed to having bodyguards. Like a true celebrity or rock star.

The Miyota cal.9015 is the more established movement of the two, as per what Toro implied. It is used somewhat prevalently in Citizen watches, and reputated to be a workhorse. It is also built to be a direct competitor vs the ETA2824, a well established movement used commonly in a lot of genuine brand automatic watches, and supposedly in quite a few reps. If I am not wrong, you must be considering the AP divers. The Miyota seems to be used only in the fantasy model with the black (rubber? Ceramic? DLC?) bezel with the titanium casing. That is a lovely looking piece by the way.

And that kinda talk coming from you J? I'm not the guy who gets around in a limo with bodyguards and have your breakfast served on gold platters.

Read carefully, did I mention AP buckle? I said 18mm replacement buckle.
