  1. I have the mesh in sixers post the cheaper one at $34.99 on my SOH & am very happy with it. Plus it is longer than more expensive ones so if you have large wrist you save by default.(just gets around my 8.65 in wrist)
  2. nunek1 fair enough but you know how it is,somebody burns you and well........... I would say there is at least one person who is [censored] at every dealer out there at one time or another.
  3. There will always be good & bad that being said the bad will find a way to get arms. So the answer is to disarm the good, hmm brilliant!
  4. Woof not for me usually nothing below 46mm. The listing says: "FRONT GLASS: DOME Synthetic Sapphire Glass" I would put money they are wrong & you are right, are they full of it ?
  5. drury now thats a watch LOL ! That one is over the top even for me, pimp package! still laughing.
  6. Wow & $148 on Trusty 1-1 Blaa Blaa but specks look good like the dome crystal give it a little more punch on the wrist. http://www.trustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=3659 I do not worry about movements my watch maker from NYC will take care of anything cheap, lives close most times just does it for me for nothing , well must bring him beer! Now to get extra brushed links if I buy, it ain't fitting out of the box!
  7. Ah! Deep Sea,that looks like the one I need guys any dealer doing it cheaper than others ? I gather everybody carries.
  8. woof , no-date Dweller right little bigger, what is this TC sub?
  9. Instead of searching all over every dealer I know you Rolex lovers know this. I want one that will work for me 8.65in wrist, most look really small on me. Which one is the largest and or most presence on wrist. Fire away Oh Rolex gurus.
  10. nunek1 " i think you are the same person that commented on about 5 different sites about replicaster and all the time you say the same thing " maybe that is what happened & he is warning people.
  11. sneed12 I am with you like the deeper color of the rep bezel.
  12. rerfreak63 you go brother! We get what we settle for.
  13. Got thread; Noob Factory PAM127E Delayed Yet Again.... read rerfreaks comments, you go freak!
  14. So it would seem that in the past service was pretty bad , you got what they set you no pics, & were lucky if you got a watch in 2 months, horror stories abound etc. ( I have been reading) As PeteM has so eloquently made this clear let me ask "what was the catalyst for change" I ask because I have not been into watches long enough to know. I do however have a theory: one dealer figured you know I can have more market share & demand a premium price by hiring a person to talk to my customers in a timely fashion & if I give QC pics WOW I can be top dealer. Well everybody got on the band wagon not to be out done. Capitalism at work. Now things are worlds better and long time collectors will tell newbies "Hey be thankful quit your disparaging attacks on dealers you have no idea", but let us not be complacent it is better but it can improve. Who shall be the next dealer to step up his game with even better outcomes for buyers. The guy who wants to get more business & increase his profits, capitalism at work. Greed is sometimes good. What say you?
  15. Petem "what about alternating hands after 2 shakes?" yes that is ok but you still grow hair on your palms! Funny thread.
  16. frankt I was thinking some here might think it was our little hobby but no bites.
  17. Never, but Cromag may have something.
  18. Oh ! I just have to have one with the engraving, that is so I can smash it with a hammer.
  19. {Another anecdotal data point for those with an eye on the Chinese economy, Swatch Group's Chinese partner says sales growth of its luxury watches has slowed to single digits. Sales growth of low to mid-end watches remains in the "double digits."} LINK: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-09/hengdeli-says-china-luxury-watch-sales-slowing-on-economy.html
