Fall in the fields... took a walk outside, it's my favourite season...

EU inside dealers available through the internet are very often scammers, ripping off their customers. One of the few serious ones is UK based Reg Narikaa, you find him on all the international forums. Otherwise and if you don't trust triangle shipment from international dealers, member to member deals inside EU are the alternative, here or on the other forums. The choice is of course limited to what gets offered...

Same here, but with a reason: babies need and love the orignal smell of their parents. Once I became dad, I stopped adding artificial smell to me. Before that, I went for the lemon / herb side of perfumes - L'eau d'Issey, R de Cappuci.

Buying watches from the US is very tempting for EU guys (like me), but unless you either have a friend in the US where you can store them until someone comes over to the EU bringing them personally, or you have a transshipment address in the UK, Spain or Greece - hands off. The gamble of direct shipment to other EU countries with better organized customs inspection (all except the three mentioned above) is way too risky.

The BigCrown crystal fits the ceramic noob mariner case. As the rep isn't gen construction, I'm not sure on the gen x-tal fit here. The latter works well for the 16610 subs (with gen construction), but for the ceramics??

Not sure why people start talking of vintage rollies when the OP asks for the most accurate rep of a TT? To answer that original question, the best blue TT was the wm9 as sold by BK. That one is out of stocks and there is a high demand for it... in other words, very difficult to obtain. Second best is the MBK version as sold by Reg Narikaa. You find him in the sales section of the international forums. Drop him a PM and he can buy one for you during his frequent trips to Asia.

Uuups... did anyone compare the noise to a BK wm9 YM and their 2814 movement? As I don't hear anything in my wm9, this may be the 2nd point of differentation beside the date wheel...

I think TC would be a good option here. You know his web site? If not, google 'tc submariner blogspot'.
