  1. I think Nanuq is on to something, but if you enable your Wireless router for DHCP from your ISP, then everytime you reboot or turn in off and on, it should get the new Gateway and DNS IP addresses from your ISP! Is your wirelless router connected directly to your cable/DSL modem? Or is there a Switch in between? If you have a switch in between, that could also be the culprit!

    You should really do a reset and use the standard/default config after that and test without re-configuring it first, see if you could go out. Try and ping google.com and see if you get a reply back and an ip address (means your DNS is working!), if it does then you should be good to go. Now you could configure it the way you want it!

    Good luck!

  2. Hello all, this is my first post but I thought I'd share this with you. I've ordered 4 replica GMT IIC's (2 from WatchesLux, 1 form honest Replica and 1 form Pure Time) and the first three all had "issues" that made me totally aware I was wearing a replica.......

    Reading this part, I already know which ones you gonna have problems with! :rolleyes::D

    Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the pictures!

  3. And since your watch from Joshua is only a month old, get in touch with him and send it back! If it has a defective movement, he'll either fix it or send you a new movement! Just a tip, if you plan to be in this hobby for long, I suggest you start getting to know your movements and their particular quirks koz you'll need it in the long run specially if you don't have a watchsmith that you work with! Most of the vets here have been thru where you are right now and we learn the ropes!

    Good luck and do a lot of research here and on the WEB! Some were suggested already!

  4. i have a pam90 on bracelet and love it. it is a substantial looking watch. however the Fiddy or 127 on bracelet is a monster at 47mm.

    Holy cowabunnga! Thats the 1st time I've seen a Fiddy on Steel Bracelet!!! :o You must be tired after wearing it for a day! :D

    @Steve! Goodluck on your quest.......oh, and Welcome to the club!

  5. I also got some good results by 'slicing' at the lugs and sides of a case with these :)

    DSCN1540.jpg

    I just held them open (by the lower handle) and hacked at the case in a kind of slicing motion, and then dragged the blade down the side of the case as well, to create some nice scuffs :) A quick buff with a 4-way nail file blended them in so they looked old, rather than freshly inflicted :) (When doing this, I did not simply hack at the case like a blind woodsman, but aimed slice by slice, as I wanted to create the impression of sustained damage, rather than just a butchered case :lol: )

    You're a sadist, my friend! No wonder your watches have this "take me away" look! :D

  6. wow... nice and neat watch u built here!

    p.s. ur avatar is so..yummy, i mean the watches! kakaka..

    Kudo's Hike.

    I really like the Homage dials.

    Great work. Great photo's...as usual.

    i emailed them regarding the PVD movements....asking if it's really PVD or just paint.

    this is what i got back:

    Hello,

    That is really PVD GUN colour. Not PVD black colour. The gun colour is like a metallic black. It is more glossy and not matte finished.

    And it is produced by movement factory directly. Not we paint it.

    Regards,

    Getat Watch CO.

    im not sure what that exactly means, so i guess it IS color and not really PVD?

    Nice work Hike!

    Nice work ! Congrats.

    Very nice watch, and a great mod that turned out just great!

    Now since, I am slowly getting the fever...I am now wanting to get an homage too! A curious question now:

    Where can I buy the lume used by hike? What is it called? Brand name or generic?I intend to get an homage, and then rework the lume just like he did.

    Many thanks!

    Nice job.

    To me, this is really the fun part of collecting reps. I would never mod one of my gens but I have over the years done a lot of work on my various reps, increasing my skills and trying new tricks every time. If I fail (and sure enough I have) it's not the end of the world. I pick up the pieces and start all over again.

    Thanks everyone! I appreciate the compliments and chub says it nicely!

  7. In the future you may also want to try Jackson Tse dot com, for homage parts. Same parts as siswatch for less. For example, $10 for sterile dial (shipping included), $30 for 6497 (faux swan neck, shipping included). I will say that siswatch (GETAT) does have a bigger selection, though. I don't think you can go wrong with either for the price.

    His web site sucks, though! No pricing info and you cant purchase directly from the site!
