Corgi

There are some events in New York but they are very exclusive... for collectors only I presume. Check on timezone, they always have listings for these sorts of things..

I'm angry at getting my hopes up; thanks Francisco for pointing this out... I guess I'm just going to have to spring for a gen Daytona one of these days if I want to own one. Ultimately the question is: how can any normal person even verify that they are getting "movement x" in "wristwatch z" ? They simply cannot, and gambling with it is simply not a risk I'm willing to take.

All I can say is that if our dealers put up pictures like this, they would sell a lot more of these UNs...

LOL... hideous.

On one hand, I agree... but some people are just arrogant about their wealth. Take this guy who posted a wrist shot of his family taking a ski trip to an exclusive resort (literally closed down for any tourists except them but fully operational) in their private jet on Timezone last week... It's when you see this kind of stuff where people flash the money "in your face" that grinds your gears. Hey, he's successful... great... but putting up a picture like this screams "giant pompous asset".

Happy Birthday and All the BEST!!!!!!!!!

Nice.

Swiss Gen > Asian Rep Always.

I look outside and I see mountains of snow, Lanikai... let's trade weather. Exquisite photos as usual, by the way.

Narikaa sells this one.

Not really my style; sorry... would love to see a Fifty Fathoms rep, though.

Phenomenal post! I always enjoy investigating what jewelry stores look like in civilized parts of the world.

My main concern... you would have to be pretty brave to shell out that much money for a supposed Swiss ETA movement on a close caseback watch, especially now that stock of these is lowering and imitation movements have flooded the industry. You never know what's inside.

It actually looks really good! Thanks for the pictures!!

Hurray materialism. God bless the twenty first century!

Speaking from personal experience; the 18K gold plate on all of my watches fades while the so-called 14K tt plating is fully intact. I would absolutely spend the additional money. On my turn-o-graph the "18K green" bracelet turned my wrist green .

These are very beautiful, but under appreciated. I think it's really one of the most affordable super reps in town. The only flaw is the upside-down days on the left subdial. Here is the gen: The dial catches the light so perfectly, it twinkles...

Personally, I haven't experienced any problems with chronograph pushers especially when it comes to quartz models. But this does happen, and is one of the many reasons you should only engage chronographs (at least automatic ones) sparingly. Here is an interesting video on ebay where the owner's pusher also got jammed!

I believe that some watches still contain ETA movement; but unless it has a see through caseback, I'm going for the cheapest alternative every time. Back in the day I believed it, and likely most of my old watches do have ETAs, but now I wouldn't bet on it...

I know, this gets annoying pretty quickly. But you have to put yourself in their shoes. It can be very overwhelming the first time...

Seriously? They just let you wear it? Up here they're very picky with the rules... it wouldn't fly. Glad to hear you're alright though.

This is a really eye-catching piece. Beautiful... wear it well! Oh, and how about a wrist shot?

Outdoor fun in the Franken Datejust!

I'm going to regret saying this I know but I like this watch even though it's German. In fact I think the replica improves upon the original, at least in terms of the hands - the thinner structure looks much classier. On the gen it looks like they stole the hands from a Datejust.

Link please.
