Fracture

I was wondering if the antimagnetic properties of reps are on the level of gens? Reason why I am asking is that I have to wear an identification badge on my upper clothing for work. I've chosen to attach it with neodymium magnets since it's fast, clean and easy. My watch head has never touched the badge and I'm sure it never will, but it often does come close (with my wrist in between). Is this something to be worried about? Can it affect my watches in time?

Nope. Made 2 payments today, works as usual. It would be strange for Paypal to be out for 2 whole days. Are you sure you're on the genuine website?

Trusty is not always out, you just need to be patient for them to come back in stock. Mine was shipped a few days ago.

Apr214 is talking about the stitched deployants. I find them better made and more comfortable than the vulcanised rubbers with buckle. There's a clear difference between rep and gen vulcanised rubbers imo, with the stitched ones not so much.

See, that's the problem with their shoddy quality control. Different people order the same watch, pay the same amount of money but depending on your luck your watch might or might not be worth as much as the other buyer's watch.

Still. If we can't reject watches with bad lume and skewed letters... I have a stinker of a PO while I have seen examples of perfect ones around. Do I not pay the same money as others? Do I not have the right to get a good watch? This is what is starting to really bother me about the rep business. It's illegal so we should be on our knees thanking the dealers for the privilege of purchasing rep watches? F*ck that, seriously. I work hard for my money, I'd like to see something in return. Is it really that hard for the rep factories to have a bit of quality control?

Bit small too, at 38.5mm. I have regular wrists but I'm not sure I can get away with that. Fingers crosses for a 41.5mm version. Movement decoration doesn't bother me, as long as it's a decent base movement. You only see it when you take it off and turn it over anyway.

They're so good that most dealers are afraid of accepting payments from them. Paypal are bastards, they act like a bank but have to follow none of the banking rules. They are fortunate to have a monopoly on these types of payments, I'd be long gone to the competitors otherwise.

Ezio, I think you're confusing bank transfer and credit card charge. You can't just do a "chargeback" on a bank transfer. Even if you typed in the wrong account number and want your bank to correct the mistake you're going to have a though time.

As far as I know Puretime doesn't accept paypal from new customers or customers that do not reach a certain number of purchases in a certain time.

I have a GW-7900RD and a japanese import GW-9200MBJ. Imo if you're serious about watches you need at least one G-Shock in your collection. If [censored] would hit the fan one day and I could take only one watch with me I'd definitely pick one of these two.

It's an interesting idea but I wouldn't join. Watches are a personal thing I believe and it wouldn't feel right wearing a watch that isn't mine.

He has a new website, perhaps you've been visiting the old one: http://torobravos2014.com/

Have one as well, it's an amazing watch. Only thing that I can notice on mine is that the pearl is a bit misaligned, but you'd really need to look up close to notice it. Oh, and the inside of the lugs are razor sharp. I'm dying to wear it but I can't as I actually received the wrong order and am waiting for the dealer to respond to whether or not I can keep it...

Could be he just changed his mind about the purchase and is looking to get out of it. Enough dishonest buyers around.

In all honesty, the new paying system is bugged. I paid for VIP and a few days later I got an email that the service was suspended due to not paying. I pm'ed admin and he fixed it right away. Next day, same thing happened again. So at this moment, while I did pay for VIP I am browsing as a regular member. This should still be valid, right?

At an AD. It's a gen. A really nice gen

Pam 318. Will be my daily for a few weeks I think.

I wouldn't. If I had a gen in that pricerange I would want it to be completely gen. I wouldn't mind aftermarket quality straps like Hirsch, but no branded rep buckles and straps. Then again I put gen straps and buckles on my reps so...

I can't see why they wouldn't. Hamilton for example sells watches with gen ETA's at a similar price point. And yes, I know Hamilton is Swatch but I assume their purchasing price for the movements would be the same.

I'm really fond of my Ocean Black, could not find a better watch for that price. I do think their popularity is giving them issues. Some watches have a very long waiting list and qc on my latest watch was very lacking. Was an Aviation Vintage that arrived with scratches in the DLC and a broken crown. Customer service is top notch though, received a refund very quickly.

I've always wondered how that works? Honest question, I have only once visited an AD. You just walk in an AD and you can try anything you like? I read about this on so many boards. But I'm pondering about purchasing a quite expensive gen (for me anyways) and I don't think I could agree if I bought it at an AD and the watch had been on dozens of people's wrists before mine. It would just feel like second hand. Or do AD's carry demo's of everything and you receive an unboxed one when you purchase it? And to OP's question: sometimes but not often. If I see a watch I like, it's pretty much guaranteed that I will love it even more when I own it. But I recognize your story as I have the same thing with smartphones and other electronic gadgets.

009 for the next few days.

IP address banning isn't really a solution. Many ISP's have dynamic IP's, so a user will get a new one after some time. If you ban the MAC address you can block the users device, unless he changes his network card or switches to another device.
