Another "autumn-inspired" wristie here. I think I'm going to wear this good old friend today (Tuesday).

Yeah, I'm aware it doesn't look and weigh like platinum... but it's rather nice anyway.

It's going back to the dealer soon so I thought I'd just make yet another photo composition. Thanks Ubi.

I don't know but it looks good don't you think?

FULL SIZE:

This right now:

After all these decades, Starless still gives me cold chills...

NEXT: One of the best albums of the decade... if not THE best:

POS? Only the 2 versions are POS.

Once again: WHS gen ETA works perfectly.

Technically this photo is nothing special... just a standard wrist shot. But for some reason I really like it. The trees in the background look like a painting in this photo. Autumn is here.

And I like this watch more and more every day.

Happy very early Monday morning (or Sunday night) for the Europeans.

I'm wearing one of my favorites right now. This watch always reminds me of winter, so let's use a wrist shot from the last winter.

I'm really disappointed of Kimi Raikkonen. He was a great driver, but now he has lost his passion, speed and motivation. He has been driving like a BUM this year.

This beauty for Sunday.

That's a stunner!

Keep in mind that Eurotimez and Precious Time can both get the stainless steel WM9. I believe they can get the TT model eventually as well.

It's basically the same watch as Aquaracer Calibre S Regatta.

There used to be a rep of this. The functions weren't repped though.

I'll probably wear both my GMT's during the weekend...

...but wearing this one right now.

Not the same seller/dealer as the other 'Ideal Watches' selling the 75 jewel Swiss Made solid gold cased reps for $950.

You missed the 2008 update: Italian made case (takes a full year to complete and finish), Swiss movements serviced by genuine Swiss trained Rolex technicians, 77 1/2 jewels and a pink cotton purse. There are so many A's in the grade that it'd be impossible to fit them all on one page.

The Ebay Ideal Watches is selling high end genuines, been on Ebay since 2001 and has a 100% feedback.

So... what do you think dear Watson?

Dont get too excited....lol....he doesnt even have the watch yet!

I'm not commenting the seller/deal, just the pictures. But then again, pictures prove nothing. They could have been stolen.

I'm just saying that the watch in the pictures is genuine.

That watch is definitely genuine. Look at the case, crown position and bracelet. It's newer than 2003 because it doesn't have lugholes, but absolutely no doubt about it authenticity.

Come on... where are our Rolex guys... I'm disappointed of you. It took more than one full page to verify this obvious gen.

Mods? No need to even put it in a shopping bag, I will eat it here.

Yeah... what there is to mod? Transform it to a Rolex 5513 maybe?

Say it ain't so... Tudors ROCK!

Great "cuts"... love both of them. Very artsy!!!

I feel you...I'm definitely not out of the rep game although I don't know about 2 weeks. I had to liquidate my collection to fund a gen as I did not want to put it on plastic. However, it should be a lot more enjoyable collecting reps knowing that I've got a nice gen too...that I'm sure of.

Yes... I definitely agree. I love and appreciate my gen and will never part with it. Owning 1-3 gens is great, those "dream and grail watches". Sub is the grail for many... and I completely understand. It's the legendary watch after all.

And then there's no need to endlessly search for the "Perfect Sub" anymore.

It takes 2 weeks to start collecting the reps again. Mark these words.

I thought it'd be exactly the opposite, but after I got my first gen Rolex I started to appreciate the reps even more. Imagine that!

Why?

2000 the Subs come out with SEL's and lugholes (P-Series)!

Exactly. My K-series gen GMT has lugholes and SELs too. Those watches aren't even rare...they're very common... but for some reason a lot of people think this is "inaccurate".

Haha. Sorry guys, I realized that this was a major pet peeve of the elders on the board. Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

I just wrote an article about Day-Date replicas. Read it here.

Happy hunting!

Congrats for the nice gen! Is this a new acquisition?

SMP.

Been wearing this since morning.
