Anyone know how long gold plating in the rep world lasts?
Corgi replied to Coeuss's topic in General Discussion
This is a nice homage to Patek Philippe, but it does have some inconsistencies with the genuine model which I won't mention since I do not want to spoil your watch for you. I personally have been looking for an accurate complicated PP rep since I joined here but I have been consistently disappointed by the selection offered. -

Oh yes I love the A Mon Fils film from Patek Philippe. I would love to own a genuine one day... -

Corgi replied to Coeuss's topic in General Discussion
Well an important thing to consider is the believability factor. Most high-end timepieces (Patek Philippe like you want for example) are made with solid gold, meaning they are heavy - heavier in fact than any imitation regardless of the materials used (unless the rep has solid gold but then it will be very expensive). So even if your watch is 1:1 and you hand to somebody who knows even remotely about jewelry or watches, they will know something is wrong because true solid gold watches feel very very heavy... and the gold even tends to radiate in some lighting, which plate, will never ever do. However I have had good experience with the 5mil plate. But if you are getting a Rolex with a TT band for instance, be sure to get the 14K 15mil plate. It's a little more expensive but makes the difference. good luck and of course welcome to rwg -
The skeleton is my personal favorite of the whole bunch yes indeed!

oh god 10 cm ewwwwwwwww I once had a 2cm harmless spider crawl near me in the washroom and sprinted out of there as though a bomb was about to blow. I am terrified (and disgusted) by insects of all kinds - especially bees and spiders. Thus, I will never go to Thailand. Thanks for the heads up.

the last fragment is awesome

Oh they screwed this one up classic. If you squint at it from ten feet away then maybe it kinda sorta vaguely resembles the kalpagraph.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say. I'm not going to drop down $400 hard-earned cash for a watch just because it looks really close to the gen. I would rather spend half of that and get something unique. It's not really an ugly watch, but come on, an asian movement.... no thanks.. not for this price gentlemen. And on top of that it has a rubber strap, meaning it will never in a million years sit right on my oddly configured wrist. Unless a leather strap version comes out and somebody fishes up some really positive arguments about this watch it looks like this latest super rep will be another disappointing pass for me. Now, if they decided to update the Daytona with a reliable movement that is readily available, then maybe we're talking.

Thanks Jon!

Hi everyone, If you recall THIS THREAD, Jon Fort held a little contest that I happened to win I think "by being at the right place in the right time." Anyway, I wanted to take this opportunity to publicly thank him for his tremendous generosity and kindness in offering this beautiful timepiece, and of course share a couple of pictures. The funny thing is I was actually looking for a nice dressy RG piece and this is just perfect! So comfortable! This guy is really something. Not only did he get me a new watch for free but he also paid for the shipping and it came in 4 days. 4 DAYS. Jon, you are an asset to this community sir... this is what RWG is all about!

What about the new Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL chrono? It was just released, supposedly made by the infamous hublot cloners and its supposed to be identical to gen.

This instruction should really be placed in red, flashing, capital text overlapping all dealer trade sections. Honestly, one stupid customer can ruin a good opportunity for everyone else with just a few strikes of his or her keyboard.

I want that exact same thing in red. I love that bracelet, it makes the watch.

How can I forget... I was trembling in fear thinking to myself "what in the hell am I doing sending all of this money to Mr. Anonymous in china... I will be lucky if I get anything even remotely resembling a Rolex. The feeling you get when you open your very first package and see a Rolex watch inside is indescribable. You don't really experience anything like that ever again.

I recently spend $600 for a pair of Mont Blanc sunglasses and the craftsmanship and quality of them is unlike anything I have every touched in this line of product. They are so solidly constructed and everything is right where it should be, nothing flopping about and no squeaking or cracking its just precision precision precision. That is key. China can't do precision - not by a long shot.

oh lord I can't imagine what local passers-by were thinking while he was filming this... probably "why is someone videotaping that poor epileptic child while hes having a seizure"

"collector" visits are thin on the ground here at RWG?

Probably but I don't want to bother him with stupid questions... I know he must be really busy around this time. -
This week: Nautilussing things up with a little 70s action from Patek Philippe!

Does anyone know approximately when Narikaa is leaving on his next excursion? -
genuine Jaeger-Lecoultre alarms actually buzz as well; I suspect the additional crown is for winding the alarm. I'm not sure about "vulcain" though.

I saw this Breitling colt in real life! It is a very spiffy thing - nice and sporty, shiny, and yes - absolutely wonderful lume. It sure is a robust sports watch and definitely worth the price of entry. I bet it's nice not having to worry if there is dust under the glass, or if you can walk with it in the rain!

Omega Railmaster 39,2 mm - Pictorial and review.
Corgi replied to Stephane's topic in The Omega Area
Yes this is a beautiful watch but personally I prefer the XXL oversize version, since it really has pizazz! -
...what I want to know is what in the hell is a "kink" and why do I want my "lover" to become one?

The next time you see somebody wearing a two tone Rolex sub know that it's probably Corgi!
