My first rep was from one of those Scam Sites, before I even found a forum... Cost me way more than it probably would have done from a Trusted Dealer, but, it still cost less than the real thing, I got what I paid for, and I got what was advertised. I would agree about watches bought from forum Trusted Dealers having a bit more in the way of protection should there be an issue, but, issues are so few and far between, it's a bit of a redundancy, so not really the Be all End all in terms of purchasing choices... And absolutely, people are well meaning when they say "Stick to the trusted dealers..." but the point I was making, is that if people never use off-forum dealers, then those dealers never get the chance to prove themselves and become trusted (by buyers, even if not Forum Listed) It's all well and good to reject a dealer who's a known scammer, but when it's just a knee-jerk, blinkered reaction to an un-known source, the advice becomes hollow, because it's not coming from a place of knowledge on the subject... Eurotimez was indeed a disappointing scenario... They set themselves up to have better QC than the other dealers, but as you say, couldn't keep the balls in the air...

I'm just gonna make it simple. Why fix it if it ain't broke. Should someone really lose money just to find out and tell us this site is a scam? There's nothing wrong with the TDs already present. They can supply any rep watch that you find out on the other googled rep sites asking as it exists. If the pics are too good to be true then it's most likely too good to be true.

Like I just said "Don't fix it if it ain't broke."

Finally got my BK/PBdad GMT-IIc back. I missed this.

Code yellow is nice. I think Sead has them.

What I don't understand is why people ask about sites when we have a list of trusted dealers you can buy from.

Excuse me for my seeming stupidity, but who/what is Sead?

(Haven't been a member very long, so sorry for any/all stupid questions.)

He is a TD on RG and RWI.

Ploprof v2 Swiss on rubber today.

I have to say the grey. Looks amazing compared the the vanilla plain black dial.

Oh wow that aluminum watch box is nice for the price. I just bought a 10 watch display case from the same company. I have a 5 watch box I could use but that's display too

They both are missing AR on cyclops.

Hello gents, I'm thinking of picking this one up during my gold fever spell. I have a spare AP Bands black Hornback that I'd like to fit to the watch. Wish I could find a photo somewhere online of this watch with a black Hornback.

That is the same problem I have. Would love to pick this up as my first gold watch, but I'm not looking forward to dropping another $300 on a strap for it lol. Will total close to $1000

Is this based off of the V3 case? I read in another thread that a "v4" is due soon, so I might wait for a round of updates to hit all the models.

The v3 case you speak of is for the AP Diver. As far as I know that case was built from the ground up since it has a rotating inner bezel while the regular AP ROO sec @ 12 does not have the rotating bezel.

So do I lug my watch box with me on the subway there? Lol.

Finally got this back from vac. Gen dial, gen hands, gen tube, gen crown, Vac AR'ed crystal, Vac modded pearl and relume.

I have a gen IWC Pilot Strap in brown croc for sale if you're interested.

Wait I thought it was the other way around where the rep is thicker than the gen? I remember the thread with Domi modding an AP ROO and he trimmed down the case back along with some other major mods.

Very nice! Still waitin on my gen hornback to come back from getting refurbished to throw it on my AP Safari.

The consensus is that the chrono pushers are too long and the crown isn't correct. Can't tell how well the dial is repped since the pics don't show the dial detail very well.

The CHS movement is more prone to problems over the ICHS movement.

I got one of the wholesale outlet black bezels if you want it. Bought it but never use it since my pearl was pretty centered on my UPO. So I just got Vac to mod the rep bezel and pearl.

Should try the BMW touch up paint color "mineral white" it's an off white with metallic flakes.

Glad I just saw this post. I pmed him a few days ago about a Y Inca block mod on my PAM 111n with a gen dial... Glad I was too busy to mail it out.
