  1. Thx so much for your comments, I always love to see that the collection I built is also appreciated by others.

    As far as the IWC is concerned, and more generally as far as straps are concerned, it's half of the fun for me to find something decent and suitable. As rep straps are most of the time bad to hardly acceptable.

    Concerning this dark brown (burgundy when much light) strap, it is an alligator pattern, which I paid 25 dollars on ebay. Looks almost like the real think.

  2. I think that this kind of story can happen to anyone of us.

    As far as I am concerned, there are no board trusted dealers, only member trusted dealers... This means I have stopped buying blindly from those listed here. I am buying from those our members or I have been successful with. Sometimes, they are the boards dealer, often they aren't. I have so many things to tell about them.

    Don't misunderstand me, I don't blame them (all), because some are really good, and it's true that they at least have the advantage of knowing this business well. The problem of this knowledge is that it can be used against members : promising double AR coating where it's simple, promising unexisting servicing etc... That can't happen with someone who has no clue of what a PAM112 is ;)

    Same old story.

    I have permanently 25 watches home, and I bought/resold a lot already : statistically I had less problems with non board dealers, including Tony, until he took an other way (to be confirmed still...).

    Sure.

    He used to have competitive prices on CQout.

    However, the prices on his websites are much too high, although I understood they can be negociated anytime.

    But again, the evidences of a change in his business way are not putting me into confidence anymore.

  4. FYI, I bought mine something like 150-180 EUR on ebay...

    I think Ebay beats Google this time !

    It seems to have become more expensive these days :

    A used one :

    It's a nice piece of watch indeed, even if it gets much less wristtime since my rep collection has increased.

    The movement is a Swiss ETA quartz. Beware of the size : it is not a big watch.

    If you don't mind getting a 1 year old (in perfect condition) one, mine can be yours... Still under warranty. PM me if you're interested. :D

    [Edit] ETA Quartz, not ISA

  5. Hi Kuarup,

    there are indeed dealers selling the Hublot Big Bang between 700 and 1000 dollars, depending on the model. Perfect-clones belongs to these.

    I would personally advise you get the lite version (lower beat movement and no AR coating), then have it coated by K2222 or Chieftang. You can get an awesome rep far under 500 dollars in this case.

    Silix sells it, and Watchmark too.

    All are collectors on this board. To access their section, you have to upgrade your account to "Supporter" however. Hope this helps...
