I am looking into a couple BK models and seeking advice from more experienced members.

Which is more accurate the Noob GMT IIc or the Noob Ceramic Sub?

What are the best mods to make on the GMT IIc?

Thanks!

Agreed, lets find a pro hacker! I'd pony up some cash to get the f--ker destroyed!

I'd throw in for that! This guy should be put out of business!

Is this for real?? Did this Henry guy really pull this [censored]? If so, although the noob was wrong with the CC dispute this is TOTALLY unacceptable.....If it's true...

I believe it because it happened to me too. He was very friendly when I asked questions before buying, but my watch had a couple major issues and when I emailed him about it he was a total jerk. I told him that if we couldn't work something out then my only other recourse would be to file a complaint with my credit card company, just to try and get him to fix the problem. He pulled the same [censored] with me and made a bunch of other threats too. He also said he went ahead and bought a website domain with my name which he was going to develop into a child porn site if I filed the complaint. I couldn't believe anyone would ever make a threat like that for any reason, especially for a watch I paid $400 for. I've still got all the emails he sent from his own email account to prove it too.

I only wish I'd looked more closely at his website before buying. I didn't see his fraud page or I'd have gone elsewhere. I can't believe he actually posts that crap publicly on his site and is still in business. I've never seen anyone post personal info & cc #'s for public viewing and when I saw all the stuff at the bottom of the page I couldn't believe it. I will never do business with this guy again and would recommend the same to anyone else.

What's the best way to find the lug to lug width? Say, I'm deciding between a 42mm & 45.5mm Planet Ocean, how can I find the width? This would be a sweet online calculator if there was a database with watch specs!

I'd like to add a gen Steelfish to my collection and am wondering what's a good price to pay for a used one? I'd like to find an older 42mm, if there still available. I've checked the gen section, but have never seen one. Where's the best place to look for a gen and how do I ensure I'm not paying for a rep?

Thanks!

Anyone know how the blue dial color compares to the gen on the Aquaracer Chrono Daydate?

Is this the most accurate Aquaracer out there, or is there a better one?

Thanks!

Great review. I need to add one of these to my collection someday!

Hi Guys, just FYI.

I have taken a rep to an AD and he spotted it was a rep in less then 2 seconds... I didn't even have to take out the watch from my wrist.

After he told me how he did it, it just seems so obvious to me its annoying... The number 2 on the Bezel is completely different from the Gen.. It's hard to describe, but if you compare both it's easy to spot out (just look at the picture of them side by side on this post). On the gen, the upper part of the number 2 font is parallel to the part right below it.. on the rep it's angled enough to be considered a "different font". And it sure is different, very different. This is a small detail that would be very easy to replicate perfectly... It's just so obvious, I'm sure the manufacturer did it on purpose for some unknown mysterious reason..

Why do they (the manufacturers) keep missing the easiest parts to replicate, will remain a mystery to me. The AD also told me there is no such thing as a perfect tag rep whatsoever in any of the models.. not even on the most basic formula 1 (to my disappointment).

Just thought you guys should know!

Thanks for the great review !!

Nice catch. I noticed that too. The '5' in '50'on bezel seems to be off quite a bit as well. The gap between the top of the '5' and the rounded part seems much larger on the rep. Other than that though, it's pretty spot on. Could the bezel be replaced with a gen bezel? I wonder if the AD would spot the rep then?

Do people really fall for scams this cheesy?
