Its not all hopeless though. You might find one watch, for me its my ceramic pam with distressed leather strap, that you JUST CAN'T GET OFF! It makes all other reps just look, bleh. It won't last forever mind you. But it might give your bank account a bit of a break!

My Go-to guy for servicing reps is in Newmarket, just north of you. PM me and I'll hook you up.

I've owned many a Rolex rep over the years of many types and qualities from all our dealers. The one consistant problem that send them to the watchmaker is the markers falling off the face. Does this EVER happen with Gens?

I don't think I could put up with the Paner ai or the Rattrap ante. Dial flaws like that are the worst!

Love my 292 . . . ceramic mmmmmmmmmmm.

I Don't usually post wristiez but damn I'm likin this watch!

Cool, when do we see the pictures of your new loved one?

Panerai today!

There's a few of us!

Yup you're headed back to 32 bit land. I have a Lenovo T61P 64 bit that I'm using as my main machine these days. I wanted to make use of all the memory for virtual machines so that means 64 bit host. I settled on 2003 server since it is basically XP 64. almost everything works except the damn sound. No go. When you need a low level driver like that someones gotta compile it specifically. If they don't your're out of luck. Give me the code, I'll compile it for 64 bit xp!

I lerk all over the place but this it the best forum. Haven't had much time to be anywhere lately tho. That's what cool about being into watches . . even when your so freakin busy at least you have a toy with you all the time!

I'm going to have to disagree. What we've seen enough of is standard run-of-the-mill movements with a tourby stuck on them. ANY of the brands that are at least trying to be creative by making their own movements and using new materials are fine by me. Even if the end product is ugly. Too many watches that cost 10K and are somebodys shell with an ETA 2836-2 is what lead to the uprising of reps in my opinion.

And those milling machines are pretty expensive so thats why they just cast them out of plastic . . Superluminova, yes. . . but the stuff they put on Timex's is NOT superlume and I'd call it acceptable. Is this the last hold out of the rep collector? We demand that everthing else on our reps be as close as possible but we put up with total crap lume?
