Damn... there's a lot of angry messages (after you scroll past the Vigra and other drugs spam). When was the last time George communicated with someone?

Nice! This big boy today.

Wow... that's all I can say. Kids are so intelligent, they learn stuff very quickly. Here's the original for comparison... and pretty cool drum solo (Peart in his prime).

Nice! I used to own a Orange Monster too. One of the best value watches out there, a tank! Good old Bond Seamaster today.

Yeah I wouldn't mind one of these: http://mame.velociworks.com/whatsnew.html Too bad they don't sell this stuff in my country. I don't even want to think how much the shipping from the US would be.

Look at these "bartop" arcade cabinets guys. Cool as hell, and wouldn't take so much space from your apartment, either. http://www.emdkay.net/ Something like this... ...or this:

This one. It wasn't the most accurate rep but it was the best quality rep build I've seen. Incredible bracelet.

Yeah, both are the "Noob" versions. Good rep. Just make sure you get the one where the gold is layered all over the SEL link. Check this review... it's the one to get. Good luck.

Lots of text... I'm very busy right now so I couldn't read them all fully, but I think the thing what differentiates reps and gens is not only the movement, it's everything. But that "everything" is something that you can only appreciate when you become a real "WIS". Actually I hate that abbreviation, because it sounds so snobbish. Bracelet and SEL details, how the crown winds in/out, clasp smoothness, dial glossiness, etc. Reps can never make those things right, but these are very hardcore details. If you wanted to explain those to an outsider, he would never understand. I don't know where's the limit between sanity and insanity, but being a watch fanatic moves you close to those borders. For someone "normal" that kind of details would never make any sense. People who say "Rolex is a nice $500 watch" forget that they're actually very high quality watches, and they have inhouse movements. Rolex is a dirt cheap poor man's watch compared to Breguet, Zenith, Patek and JLC. How many other brands offer 100% inhouse movements for the same price? (Seiko doesn't count as it's competing in totally different league.)

100% agree with Bike Mike. Omega is even worse in this sense. Who really cares about all those cheesy "Special Editions" anymore? They only cheapen the brand image, imho. It was cool when they put out the original 007, now it's getting really old... all those "Olympic Special Editions", "Horse Polo European Cup 2009 Special Edition", "Australian Dwarf Tossing/Midget Throwing Championship 2007 Speedmaster", etc. Yellow looks nice on a Skyland though.

Some idiot, apparently. Internet is full of them. "Red sports Rolex" is like a completely beat up and ugly Porsche 911... they're always expensive. Common sense has nothing to do with it. Here's a '69 model... roughly the same age as that Sub... and same condition.

Doesn't hurt asking I guess. There are people (who are obsessive about these vintage red things) who have a lot of money and very little common sense.

Nice ones. This cool thing today.

Because they can't. There has never been a decent blue dialed replica. The blue is ALWAYS too purple. They can't even make the blue bezel colors right, they're always too purple as well. Maybe the WM9 blue TT Sub is accurate, I dunno... Gen Aquaracer chrono vs. rep (on the right). The rep blue is nice but not even close. Same with the Steelfish. That's why I had to buy the gens. I have an expensive blue dial fetish.

I wish it hits our parliament house when they're in the middle of a session.

You're absolutely right. The black one is the only rep worth getting. But the gen blue is

Excellent. I've been considering that model as well. That black version is great. Too bad the rep blue version is so inaccurate. It's a great looker.

Timezone and WatchUSeek sales forum are good places. There are some EU sellers. TZ.uk is another good place. And of course ebay.co.uk & ebay.de. Happy hunting!

Check these. Both well suited for ladies: LINK 1 & LINK 2

Yeah I drove it. It was an amazing car but the taxes (when importing it from another country) would have been too high. Scandinavia sucks when it comes to cars and their taxation. I'm eyeing also a BMW 850i (a local car) and I'm probably going to test drive one today. 928 is still the first option but there aren't many pristine ones for sale here.

Morning! Wearing my B01 today!

I have never serviced my 7750 reps. The oldest one is now 4.5 years and running great. Never had any issues. AR = antireflective coating on the crystal. PS: Why don't you read all my TAG reviews from my section (link in my signature). Good luck!

I have owned the Link replica and I've handled the new model gen. The rep is great but automatic more expensive TAGs are extremely well finished. The rep can never reach those details, however the rep Link bracelet is one of the best replica bracelets ever made. Whenever you go to the watch forums you hear that "TAGs are not well finished", etc. That's a load of crap posted by people who don't know what they're talking about, at least when it comes to automatic Link, Aquaracer, Monaco and Carrera. If you have the cash, go for the gen. It's a great, great looker and the lack of AR on the rep always bothered me (although it was accurate for the older model). My 2c.
