I think you should get him a "set" presentation box w/ accessories corresponding to the kind of watch you're giving him. That way he will have the whole shabang, and his replica will seem that much more real and complete. The rep boxes are nice, and if you do decide on Rolex, you can pick up a gen boxset on ebay for an even more authentic feel. I know if I was to get such a gift, I would be very pleased indeed! Good luck!

Twotone this is too funny... I'm wearing a Breitling too!! Of course... mine is not as elegant as yours... but I still love this monstrous giant of a watch!

A good question indeed bubu! For me it's this Patek: Incredible complications, gorgeous tonneau case, automatic movement, yellow gold, surprisingly small "dressy" size... are you droooooling yet?

JLC have been responsible from some magnificent watches, I too am disappointed as to the lack of quality reps.

Where I come from, wearing a Russian watch like a Vostok was a indicator of lower-middle class social status. Today this view has carried over to the point where wearing one is a pretty big fashion faux-pas, because it reminds of days of socialism and financial despair.

Lots of people have said great comments about this particular watch. In my opinion, you can't really be a watch collector unless you own a flying tourbillon. Experiencing these kinds of watches touches so many senses... to see the movement's graceful motion, to hear its precise ticking, to feel its elegant textures, to whiff the gentle aromas emanating from the leather, and even to kiss it passionately and romantically is both unforgettable and almost sensual.

...eh so do most noobmariner/nymphomariner dealers. I guess the euromariner is for people with money who can't accept when something is "good enough". I'm happy spending my $98 on a near-perfect sub and then using the remaining $375 for an/other watche(s) but I guess if you just absolutely must have the correct date mag to such inhumanly close standards then there you go.... you now have an option!

It looks pretty scuffed up but nothing that a little polishing won't be able to fix. This is a cool watch with an excellent, professionally serviced movement from a renowned watchmaker. I wouldn't buy it just because I don't particularly like the design, but if you like it, then go for it!

uh huh.... $275 for a "DG" movement version or a whopping $475 (add shipping) for an ETA compared to about $98 for a asian noobmariner.

...and how much does this "euro mariner" cost?

You just opened up a big can of worms! There is a huge debate regarding the accuracy of these phrases, and many experts believe they are nothing but marketing slogans while in reality gold content is almost impossible to determine given the generally dubious policies of manufacturers. Same goes for the amount of "mils" watches claim to have.

I believe there is no such thing as TRUE solid 14K or 18K gold in the replica world. I heard what you are actually getting is a solid 8K or 10K watch with a plating of 18K or 14K gold. Either way it is not worth the money. (edit) Joshua sells two solid gold president models for $4,288 a piece... they are advertised as true 100% solid 18k yellow gold but if you actually consider the price of gold today and the size/amount of gold in this watch it becomes a little curious. There is a reason Rolex has a retail price on this for $27,500 http://www.pc-80108.com/rlddf10101-preside...362-p-1487.html http://www.pc-80108.com/rlddf10100-preside...362-p-1403.html

You mean a solid gold replica or a genuine solid gold Rolex? Because either way you're looking at an over $4,000 purchase here...

It's a nice display but I have to ask, what happens when people come over? I wanted to do something like this as well but I didn't want guests to think I was some kind of show off making a shrine filled with $10,000 wristwatches... Event though your setup is the nicest I've seen but don't you think the location is trouble?

That's the sweetest wrist shot I've ever seen here!!

"Hey, you know we have targeted sailing, auto, soccer, sport, boating, fashion, food, jewelry enthusiasts right? Well, what about internet nerds? They need watches too right!?!?!" Hublot... one hit wonder success story still milking the same design to stay afloat. "How about a Big Bang 56k Modem Wi-Fi Ethernet Edition?"

Reading something like this always puts my life into perspective. The courage of children never ceases to amaze me, the beauty of this world exists in the spirit of people like your little one.

Phew... this is what I always like to read about, a quick community initiated happy ending to someone's frustrations. Fixing a watch is rarely this easy so consider yourself blessed DeepSeaMaster!!

oldie but a goodie!!

Some people wear their suits with the manufacturer label still sewn onto the sleeve. This is for whom replica clothing is made.

100% true. Even the most expensive stores have old stock they need to move... markdowns and sales are everywhere.

This is a pretty cool lady watch. Quartz is good for a woman I find... automatic may be a little too complex for the female touch.

WOW!~ ...and a little artistic photo I took, as I'm sure everyone here is sick and tired of looking at my watch already! Happy weekend everyone!!
