  1. Hi Folks,

    My new toy (arrived today). That's a gift rep which I won on RWC as contributor... Well, first time to win something, at least in the past 10 years. I'm proud and most of all glad about this. Let me share quick shots of my first free rep :)

    Now ordering a gen croc strap to make it perfect. Black or brown ?

    And I think I will have something engraved on the caseback... Any idea about the text ?? ;)

  2. Catalogue-worthy shot!

    Pix, thanks for this quick but very informative review. Sometimes, one just wants to know the "tells" in a rep watch, without having to read paragraphs (does that sound ungrateful? Yes, but I hope people know what I mean!). Your 1-2-3 tells were very important. And one should take care to watch out for the hands size.

    Thanks for the round-up of other links too! :)

    Thx all...

    Victoria, actually I like to share my experience by reviewing more in detail...

    But that's valid for unknown reps (typically my field, except these days) ^_^ .

    For the most known, I feel that there are treasures of information and very detailed reviews already. I don't really see what I can bring as a contribution in these cases. Therefore the small pictorials and a few comments. I'm glad you liked it.

  3. RWG is the only place for me where I can meet a lady who has the same addiction as I have...

    That never happens in real life...

    ...whatever the addiction is. ^_^

    It's also the place of maturity : you can have any discussion (related to rep or not), you always meet the right person to learn from.

  4. If I prefer mechanical movements for being proud of owning some kind of rare/different/complicated piece on my wrist, I have nothing against quartz, depending on what I'm looking in the watch :

    - reliability ? Quartz

    - good replication : most often the mechanical movement, except when a quartz replicates an other quartz

    - both : I buy a gen ^_^

    - spend less : quartz

    etc...

    I own several quartz reps. None are good reps, but all are great watches.

  5. I think it's the first time I have to make an objection on your opinion The Zigmeister ^_^

    Take a lumeshot with a long exposure (15 seconds for instance), open the door or the light for a short time : you have a glowing dial and daylight... (actually that's what I'm doing)

    It is very difficult to rely on such shots. Confidence, faith and reputation are the only ways I'm afraid.

  6. To make sure there was an improvement with reluming, the modder could for example shoot several reps together. The modded one should glow more than the others.

    With lume or whatever else, the one who wants to cheat you will manage it without problem : Photoshop can completely transform your watch, independantly from your camera settings.

    At the end, only the reputation of the member can help you. Don't believe all what you see, and of course not all what you're being told.
