  1. It's an imposter site of one of our best trusted dealers. BEWARE!!!
  2. Hmm.. I see , thanks for the insight. There are 3 versions of this watch Andrew lists this low end at 188 http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_84&products_id=9053 And there are two others at Josh's: http://www.1-pc8838.com/omdem00104-deville-ladymatic-ssss-a2836-p-11761.html and this higher priced: http://www.1-pc8838.com/omdel00024-deville-ladymatic-ssss-s2671-p-11399.html. So i'm I'm not mistaken, Photogirl, you suggest I buy the first one from josh and forget about the pricier "swiss" version right? I prefer the SS bracelets as well. The leather ones are usually of a very poor quality, with a few exceptions. I think that she'd like a bracelet too, but I must admit that the leather strap looks fabulous on this watch. I wish there was a croc option, like for my Mark XVI
  3. This is pure class, Gran! a real gentleman.
  4. Seeking advise here as well: Looking for large(er) automatic ladies watch without bling, butterflies and other "nonsense" (her words) and preferably with numerals. I currently consider Omega Ladymatic (the black, plain one) and Ballon de Cartier, but was wondering about other accurate reps, if they exist. Quartz woudn't cut it for my much ,much more significant other. Please help a clueless guy out
  5. Thanks guys and gals for helping. I was looking at the "Ladies" sized watch and the price for Nickle Plated Fine Engineered Swiss Eta 2671-2 Automatic Movement, 25J, 28800bph is 398. My wife prefers automatic movements for their ingeneering and aesthetic value, probably because she's an architect. I'd buy her a gen in a heartbeat, nevermind the cost, I'd eat less, I'd go to work naked, who cares, but the bloody woman hates to spend on herself. So if I bought a gen it would cause a major family crisis. When I introduced her to the new hobby of mine and she's seen my first rep, she was all in. She said: "I always suspected you will figure this watch obsession of yours out, but now you owe me one as well". So now I'm looking for a nice watch for her and I know that she will appreciate the rep more than a gen, but I need a very good rep, because the last thing I want is her being called out. Pesonally I can handle it, but she's such a sweetheart, I don't want he to be hurt by some a$$hole making remarks... Anyway... I'm drifting... Sorry, I can talk about her all day... Now, I'm considering other options as well, but this watch is beatiful and very accurate as far as I can see. Correct me if I'm wrong Photogirl. So my question is this I'm under impression that those so called Swiss ETA are also chinese reps, so It may be better to buy a A2813 movement. Am I wrong? Also: the midsize one - is it a fanatsy size or is there an actual watch like this, I couldn't find it on omega site. And the last one: Photogirl, how does this watch wear, can it pass as a daily beater, I mean without the bling bezel? What do you think of it?
  6. Very intersted in this watch, especially the automatic version. Is the extra price on ETA 2671-2 worth it? I suspect that it's not a real ETA, but it does look beautiful. The A2813 version retails $220 less and I wonder should I bother with the "swiss"?
  7. Absolutely. The screw down action on that one is fantastic, much better than on a gen PO I tried the other day.
  8. Muhaha!!! just got this, three months later: Oh, man am I glad that I've found RWG first and didn't land on RG instead... And about the numbers: on today's internet, forum membership count is redundant. I can personally add 10000 user accounts to any forum in a matter of 10-12 days. All legit with emails, a post or two and geographically differentiated. What would become of such a forum?! A garbage bin. As a long time forum user, even before they were called "forums", and an owner of one I can personally say that a quality of forum is not about the users count. IMHO it's about how active the members are, how willing they are to contribute and how close they feel within the forum. Sure, it's harder to measure, it's more difficult to sell to advertisers, but a smart advertiser, one that specializes in forum ads will never ask you about quantities, they will always ask about the quality. For us, members, the quality factor is obvious.
  9. Weird site they are... I tried to register there a few weeks ago, I can't recall why, to read a review I think. They never approved the registration. No registration, no email, nothing. Reading about all the cr@p some people had to endure there, I thank god they never approved.
  10. Alright, alright... here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-SEAMASTER-SS-AUTO-300M-1000ft-2531-80-Large-/380403391062?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item5891cf1a56#ht_1424wt_1297 for under 800 quid and there is another one currently listed under 700 quid. Both open auctions, but you're catching my drift
  11. Robert, is this a Westie Terrier? (Love the watch, by the way) Fantastic dog-themed wristie, guys. Tomorrow - cats!
  12. This is the classiest photo ever posted on RWG. Wearing it well is an understatement in this case.
  13. Yes, this is normal. Josh has the EMS slips ahead of time and fills in your information. See it as a purchase confirmation.
  14. Congrats, man! The watch looks absolutely fantastic. The pearl is spot on, the valve is positioned perfectly, even the hands look really good.
  15. Damn you, WetWork, daaamn you! (hitting "add to cart" button)
  16. Looks good, like any other Portu rep, but I urge you to buy from our trusted dealers : http://www.rwg.cc/links/category/3-dealer-websites/ Also have a look at the dealers reviews: http://www.rwg.cc/forum/230-watches-clothing-accessories/
  17. Interesting option, actually. And seems like a good rep as well.
  18. No brainer. There are a few ebay auctions right now of used 2531.80's under $1100, so for £850 - £900 you will get a great, slightly used gen with boxes and papers and what not.
  19. Oswald - amazing dog, may he rest in peace. $4300?! Wow, man, that is steep. Seen puppies sold here at half that, papers and chip and all... But Harley is definitely a keeper, cute as hell
  20. Even I am nervous/anxious/aggravated/perturbed/sad/jittery/sullen/miffed/generally upset for you guys and I don't even want a PO (or am I, )
  21. Well, you can read the following review :http://www.rwg.cc/topic/89733-iwc-portuguese-3714-review/ Note that the watch is not 100% accurate and than there i an issue with seconds @ 6 modification. There are work arounds, but you will probably not get a good movement out of the box. There is also a quartz Portuguese, if you don't mind wearing a quartz : http://www.rwg.cc/topic/49857-iwc-portuguese-quartz-the-end-of-a-long-quest/ , but the dial issues are there as well. I'm afraid, if you are looking for an accurate watch, franken is your only option, but frankens are fun.
  22. Ha! cute. One of the best family dogs and smart a hell too. Aren't you into English Bulldogs?
  23. Hmmm... maybe you're right. Maybe I should get 3717 just to see how it wears. The no date never was an issue for me, though. I wish the factories would have a run of IWC's. I'm a big fan, but almost all the watches I like have issues with accuracy / movement.
