Bought this the other day, The wife explicitly encouraged me to buy the large one with 30 slots. Not a good idea I suppose. 12 more slots to fill with ever increasing expectations for what a good watch should look like.

Looks great! Something to remember for my next strap purchase.

Usually I don't bother repairing or servicing the movements, but ask the TD for a replacement. These crappy movements are usually not worth repairing. Swapping movements is fairly easy and movements are cheap.

Congratulations and my best wishes!

Thanks, guys. I have some crappy old reps in the drawer and will start there.

Excellent advice. Thanks.

LOL....that one took a while to settle in. :-)

I mostly wear a Rayban Light Carbon 8305. It has polarized glasses and is super light, also not very durable. I already got my 2nd pair after 2 years. I love them because they are so comfortable that you don't even feel them.

Mingle, mangle:

How about all RWG Members put their money together and we pass it around like a moving cup. Everyone can wear it for a month or so, and then it is passed over to the next guy.

Hi guys, from the experienced builders I always here how they shaved the crownguards or slimmed a case. The question a guy with two left hands like me has: How do you do this? What are tools? di you use professinal milling machines? Or just a dremel or a jeweler's file? Would love to work a bit on my 6058 Silix case. -Alex

Also cool the Hublotek...

I have been browsing the Insatgram account of the fakewatchbusta. Some of these things are really insane. :-)

Why do I suddenly feel as if I live in misery?

At 90k€ a piece for a used one I would just assume that any RM I see in the wild is a fake even without a tell. But to each his own. If you can combine it with a nice Ferrari....

Well that is good to hear, as I have mainly lost interest in other women since I got married last year. :-)

What exactly is this counter with the community reputation in the profile. I have 18 points which counts as good. But how do I earn them?

Wow. Great job,

Thx mate.

It is is even more difficult as there is no such thing as EU law for customs violations. In Germany the ownership and import of counterfeit goods is exempt from punishment as long as it does not serve the purpose of making profit. In France you can end up with a fine of 10.000 € regardless. In the case described above it is not about punishment though but compensation for damages. Now I would say there is no damage done, unless you imported the goods to sell them which can hardly be assumed unless you buy a batch of 50 pcs. or so. The amicable settlement they suggest is to avoid a law suit. So if you don't pay they would have to sue, but on what grounds? I am not familiar with Belgium law but as it presents itself to me they got nothing on you. I agree that the easiest way out is simply denying that you order the bracelets in the first place.

Can someone enlighten me what the story behind those white seconds hands is? On some gens I see them, on others I don't. Bid Dazza takes the extra effort to paint them. So what is the deal here? Thx for some hints from the experts. -Alex

If something looks too good to be true it usually isn't.

Excellent, and so much faster...

Try to sell a cartel rep for 890 USD here.....:-)

But not in mint condition. :-) But I agree. If someone coughs up that kind of money for a watch he can as well get the real thing,
