This is the new SFSO photo that I took last week.

That's a beauty... and most likely a very good investment in the long run as well. The value of this particular watch model has been increasing every year.

ExpII for Sunday!!!

This covers the modern Daytonas (secs at '6 versions).

Just for the record, I have contacted Joshua and asked about the possibility to get the "frozen" stopwatch version of the Daytona in production again. The older members remember that offering by EL and Honpo, which was only briefly available.

What was the URL to this Honpo site again?

Awesome pictorial Lani. Will add this to the Breitling Guide!

Thanks Steph.

I think it's just plain better to never set the hour hand at all, period. Just set the time normally, by rolling it from the minute hand.

My white ExpII franken is going strong, and I will never again mess with the independent hour hand.

Just an update:

This beautiful rep is DEAD... the dreaded hour hand gear of the CHS movement is completely broken... over and out.

The problem is that no spare parts are available and the movement is trashable.

I will keep this watch, just in case the spare parts become available in the future. I'm not holding my breath though.

It finally dawned on me: The CHS movement is CRAP... and all members should avoid it like a plague. According to reports, the new chs movement version in the GMTIIc could be even worse.

There's more talk about it in this thread.

Great photos Ubi... and what watches!!! Is that 16610 a gen?

Technically the pics are very good. Personally, I would probably use a bit more light (to bring up things like bracelet brushing details, etc). But nothing wrong with darker pics, either. I guess it's more like a taste thing. The granite is your trademark, but sometimes colorful surfaces can also make wonders.

Keep 'em coming, always love your pics mate! They're very artistic and you have developed your own "style".

Definitely not my style, but it looks kinda cool (imho). King has it too.

Thanks for this nice comparison review. I have updated the Breitling Guide with a link to this article.

I am bit new to Rolex reps (been mainly into Breitlings and Panerais), so I am not sure where to source these two reps. I have no idea where to find a MBW and is Eurotimez the only dealer that offers the noobmariner?

Right now (I think) Eurotimez is the only one who offers MBK. bklm1234 offers the Noob version as well, but I'm not sure if the gold bracelet is the same as on the watch I reviewed.

Looks gen to me... from what I can tell of those crap pictures.

Thread should be re-labled ...."this WAS James from Bestswiss"

Fixed.

Oh come on, no one answered me yet. Don't you have an advise for me

Because we don't know when it gets replicated. We're not in direct contact with the rep factories in China, except very occasionally.

I believe it might surface in a few months. Or then not... there's never any guarantee with the factories.

Can't wait to get mine... I already ordered a Panda dial from Eurotimez. Haven't bought a rep in 9 months, but this was way too tempting.

Modern and classic design at the same time... and beautiful white dial. What more can you ask for?

Good Friday afternoon!

I'm starting the weekend with my lovely Aquaracer chrono.

And let's hope Kimi will nail the Budapest GP this weekend!

Well yeah... I lost my interest in that thread. It just degenerated into a lame pissing contest and porn spam.

Actually I have no idea why this guy even came here... but it's apparent that he didn't know what he was up against.

If he even is what he claims he is... this guy can be a complete troll as well, and not from BestSwiss at all. That's possible too.

Awesome, thanks Richard!

Always a pleasure to see pics of your amazing collection my friend.

Damn, RWG1 just went down for me. That was really fun thread, reminded me of the "old days".

This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota

Please contact this site's webmaster.

Wait a few minutes and use your browser's "Back" button or click here to try again.

If you are the webmaster, your account may have gotten this error for one or more of the following reasons:

* Your account has used more than its share of the cpu in the past 60 second sliding window.

* Your account has too many concurrent processes running simultanously.

* Your account has consumed too much memory.

* Your site was recently very busy trying to run inefficient scripts.

The solution would be to optimize your applications to use less CPU.

Adding appropriate indeces to your SQL tables can often help reduce CPU.

Using static .html documents instead of painful .php scripts will practically eliminate CPU usage.

Edit: Now it works again.

Bricktoooopp....come on man, where are you?

BT-

One of my first 'expensive' reps was a Sub from Idealwatches (s/n W860168). Overall, the watch was decent for it's time, and not something offered by the other dealers (the TW Best was the closest to it in terms of detail and characteristics).

Yes, they actually had some good watches. And it was weird because they looked like the TW models, but had some different details.

PS: Can someone invent Bricktop back to the forum. He'd love this thread.

A few years ago Idealwatches (which was one of the ReplicaCenter scam sites) used to provide some decent reps as well... if you got lucky and received anything from them... it was a complete lottery. Some of their stock wasn't the same that our dealers offered (back then). They sold some utter crap, but they had very good TT Sub (for the standards of 2005).

Idealwatches wasn't using gen pictures... gotta give them that.

Anyway... I have a feeling that we won't be hearing from James anymore. Shame... I would love to see first ever Chinese Rolexes with SWISS GRADE AAA+++++ 100% GENUINE DIALS!!!

Yes... if the guy has honest intentions... there's no problem if he wants to show what he really offers.

But that site has all the characteristics of a scam site. Gen pictures, bald faced lies (genuine Rolex dials for all replicas) and misleading information for starters.

It's completely useless to try to lie to our membership about ANY of the specs.

James... let's see pictures of your actual watches.

Our dealers have never offered crap like this... if that's the pic of the actual watch delivered.

I mean, that's just laughable.
