Welcome and nice watch! I do not know much about tags, but that's a looker.

In terms of accuracy, the Rubberclad is the best.

It has all the appropriate hallmarks and is pretty spot on from the front.

Personally I find the Ramon is the best looking.

Correct on most counts, but the reason I do not find the rubberclad very accurate is because the hands tube, located dead center in the dial, is a huge tell.

It is the first thing I look for when spotting the regular ROO models. The RBII, Grand Prix RG, JPM etc are inaccurate in other ways of cos.

To me, an out of the box rep ROO would always need mods to make it resemble the gen.

Thats just my 2 cents worth, having collected and sold a large number of ROOs..

nicely done !!

Thanks mate. Sharp pictures coming up soon!

Hey all,

This happened a few weeks ago but I wanted to let it all be resolved before I posted about it so apologies!

Worst buying experience of my life I actually tried to buy a gen 3135 from this member. He is from tel aviv Israel and im willing to bet, while is account is deleted he is still lurking around.

He started out by saying he had a gen 3135 so I asked where he got it and he said his watchmaker friend "Tali" had another one.

Was emailing both negotiated a price including registered insured mail etc. payed via Paypal done deal.

This guy tells me its sent so I keep asking him for the tracking number, he ignores my PM's on here my emails etc. Finally he replies telling me im rude and its been sent and he will send me the tracking number... nothing

So I file a paypal claim and get my money back.

I have since bought another 3135 which was actually sent!

I think he does go by the alias "vintage.israel" because his last activity date on his "yonatanezo" account is the same date his vintageisrael account was created.

His facebook page also says he has a masters... I dont believe that for a second

I am sorry to hear that. I hope that you got your money back and all was good.

Regarding his masters, he did not say masters in which area.

perhaps its Master in Horological Scams and Integrity Erasure.

If any one suspects a member may be using two IDs or is a scammer in the making them let us know.

What happens if one suspects that the PCMUT and PCMUT2 sold in the Jag-in-a-box auctions are the same? :D

Say, is that PC-MUT the 1.8mm or 2mm size?

its 2mm, I am gonna buy one and send it for tapering mods so that it tapers to 1.82mm at the tip, then I'll polish up the entire thing and stick a superlumed PBDad pearl on the tip.

It then goes into the watch drawer until I decide just what the hell I am gonna do with it
