Just in case you guys need to move a piece: Trading Zone Sales Rules *** STOP - READ THESE RULES BEFORE YOU PROCEED WITH YOUR LISTING *** Non-VIP member sales limited to 199.00 USD value, failure to comply will result in your sale being nuked and a warning to seller. Only VIP members with two prior sales are allowed the Paypal "gift" option. This forum is for the sale of personal pre-owned watches. You cannot sell watches that have been purchased for the sole purpose of modding/upgrading then reselling for profit. Your sale will have a complete description of the item, including its Condition clearly stated. Shipping and payment instructions clearly stated. Selling price and a tagged picture are mandatory. Rule of Thumb: honest sellers post good, clear pics to reveal details; dishonest sellers post dark, blurry or distant pics to hide them. Please beware of sellers who fall into the latter category. Any & all special terms must be clearly posted in the sale (payment methods, post count, membership length or status, etc...). Your listing cannot be edited after it's posted, NO pictures or description will be deleted or changed. Price will not be edited or removed. Any questions about these rules should be addressed prior to the listing. High Value Sales over $1,500 no longer require prior approval. Caveat Emptor! Please read our High Value Sales FAQ. VIP members enjoy unlimited dollar value sales privilege. Violation of these rules will result in your selling privileges on this forum being suspended. Thanks - The RWG Team Not to much different than the ones you are used to.

Entertainment industry is the main cause of moral decay

In short yes complicit along with the news media, but maybe I'm just getting old. -
I rather see Miguel stay here as we appreciate modding for modding g shock or no and our mods are certainly not on power trips, safer.
-
Well I can imagine the high end guys dumping on the G Shocks but to ban you seems a bit harsh. In truth they have there uses some can do just about anything, if I were stuck in the woods for a few weeks I would rather have a compass , altimeter, temp, along with tough case rather than my lovely Rolex GMT that's for sure.

Just ignore, they are on a fishing expedition and for the love of god if you want to sell a rep do it here! PS just PM me for more this is an open thread , you get it.
-
OK good , I am pretty specific in my questions price?
-
Did you price as a rep or a gen?
-
Well welcome back ! Good to see you popping in.

Let's bump this , better safe than sorry.

No biggie Fox we all know the histories and I'd just like to leave it at that history...............
-
Fox, maybe they just read you do not have to be a member here to read most areas. Could be could not but we as mods choose not to pursue it further at this time if we did it would be done quietly behind the scenes in RWGcc style no witch hunts and we ain't starting one now. Rush you are correct and rest assured I know the facts/details from Greg and TB, we have discussed this at length a matter of fact quite recently. Look guys it is really different here for better or worse well that is a matter of opinion but we believe in second chances in some cases and the rule of law not the mob. I will not re-adjudicate these cases here in open thread (that's for sure) nor in PM unless new info warrants it . As of a week or two ago neither Greg nor TB had anything new so at this time these matters are closed.

AH! PBR how did I now you'd be popping in.............

Welcome ! Jersey here also up in Sussex County.

Easy way of putting a date wheel overlay
Mike on a bike replied to horologist's topic in General Discussion
Well that should help some guys out , wish I had the steadiness of hand for such things. -
Every year for many years a couple of guys get scammed, it's a shame to say but on this festive and holy time for many religions out come the bad guys. Now I can tell you most if not all were avoidable here are some common sense let us call them measures. If a deal is to good to be true it is. Do not pay gift unless you know the guy, offer to pay fees and send as a purchase it is the safest. Watch out for fly by night dealers (AAA Swiss my A**), stick w/ our TDs. Buy the seller not the watch but also buy the buyer an offer from a guy posting regular w/ a VIP or Platinum should always be preferred. On another note guys will sometimes pop in here to buy who are known/regulars on other boards and will say so, you can PM me for background checks on a buyer or seller for that matter.

Where can I source this interesting dial

Kuwait me thinks! -
Here is a beauty IMHO for $1345: https://www.jomashop.com/maurice-lacroix-watch-mp6008-ss002-111.html Do not like grey market OK two watches very well built last you a lifetime from ADs. Beach............. http://www.gnomonwatches.com/watches/ball-watch-co/fireman-necc-steel-bezel-blue-ref-dm3090a-sj-be and no one doubts Sinn quality do they......? Everyday: http://www.watchbuys.com/store/pc/Sinn-556-Anniversary-Limited-Edition-Anthracite-Dial-on-Strap-10p2802.htm Now if you want a Rolex style diver your choices are endless and you can get a very good one for around 5-6 hundred. I've owned this screamingly nice on the wrist, all of 550! http://www.gnomonwatches.com/watches/squale-watches/20-atmos-heritage-1545-sel-bracelet-mk2 $490 anyone: http://www.gnomonwatches.com/watches/steinhart-watches/ocean-1-black-ceramic-2 Now as we now the micro brands are endless my point is some very high quality watches can be had and the tipping point is (if you look around) $500 once a rep gets over 400-500 you can go with a pretty nice gen. I think we all like to play with our rep hobby at 2 to 4 hundred but after that well .........................

Yes at certain price point you might as well go gen and most modders know they are are over building but they are striving for perfection. On the other side what are these "gen" vintage Rolex going for 20-25 some 50 K or more and how "gen" are they in some cases . So now if it cost you 3k to build a vintage that is selling for 20 30 k 10% of cost if you buy a good rep for $500 of a 5k watch same same, if you have the pockets no big deal.
