Tell me, Luisik, why did you target Americans specifically in your reply?

Victoria, you answered yourself with your " 2007 Top 100 Films in terms of $$ in the USA"

American tastes are usually quite different from this kind of melodramatical movies, as shown in your list, but I never meant it was bad... just different... as every anglo-saxon countries are different from each other, not only in their way to use english language, but also in their way to face life.

Marian Cotillard is simply amazing in the role. Her acting alone would make it worth watching this movie.

Just, maybe... too much melodramatic for our American fellows taste ?

Thank you for such an excellent review.

You got a very good looking watch there.

Lovely review! Thank you !!

And pictures are great !

I think the only one who still have the good Double Eagle TT rep is KING, although the actual genuine model, wich have exactly the same design, comes now with double AR...

.. you always can say yours is from 3 years ago

Those other constellation reps from other dealers are not really worth.

PLEASE THIS !

So I will have a golden holy trinity

I love it ! ... this is a brand for the very high class and styled people who not only have money

DeWitt is, beside Fran

Italiano is right... this is the only ICE BANG :

Case in black ceramic

Bezel and Screws in Titanium

Back in Titanium with see through sapphire.

BCE tt is a completely out of taste watch...

.....so i am waiting for mine from River

Look at my avatar... I am regular to Ulysse Nardin

... So the question becomes, why are journalists so insistent in advancing this "terrorism" angle, in almost all the serious articles I've read on the matter, in journals of record (like the NYT, WaPo)?

Because this is the best marketing they can do trying to make up people's minds in a way they are not buying reps.

70% of all manufactured reps (of any market: clothes, toys, watches, mechanical and electronic devices, motor spares... etc) are sold in the USA and, since September 11, there is no better way to make an american to repudiate something than crowning it with a "terrorism" adjective.

This is the kind of things why The Zigmeister left us.

You should name that collector, as he is the one who should go. When someone promotes himself as the super modder, then there is no excuse to deliver even one single watch in such condition as yours.

If this collector is honest enough, he should send you a replacement right now, without you sending him back your piece of junk to be "repaired", so he could show all of us he is worth of our trust.

@Victoria, if this collector have personal issues, he should have adviced his customer about how bad mods he would be able to do and give him the choice to be refunded the money before giving a fenomenal sh*t as response.

Just wait a little, and you will get it for much less than $350... remember Big Bangs ? Superoceans ? B&R ? Ultimate PO ?

check KING. He's still not hidding them

Try also PURETIME.

I am not particularly fond of giving away alcohol for a present... I think, f.x. Yann Arthus-Bertrand's breathtakingly beautiful book "The Earth From Above" would be more appropriate for a guy like The Zigmeister (if he hasn't got it already). I mean, look at his paintings. The book is a keeper, the Patron will be gone once the bottle is empty...

I'm in.

ALCOHOL ??? Aren't we sending just the bottle alone ?

Indeed, this watch definitely looks nicer on a brown strap. That's not a problem though, just buy new shoes and belt to match the strap

how about to buy silver shoes ?

Nice watch, but what kind of car is that......a Benrus?

Welcome to planet earth.

You can't give up, The Zigmeister... not only because you have helped us a lot to understand watches, but becaue no one better than you can advice us when something is not correctly done by others, or even warn us about someone trying to scam us... most of us are simple ignorants... so you have the responsibility to guide and help us. I don't see you as someone leaving alone people in need of you.

This last version is much nicer .. but... how can it be named as Ultimate ? it still have a lot of flaws !!!

From a quick look:

Take TTK's... better watch and much better collector. Josh and Andrew are just white glove scammers.

Sorry to say you were a victim of fashion.... hopefully for your pocket you have already learnt to wait a little more

Stephane, I don't see more flaws in this new 250 than, in example, a 3717 (I think it even has less).... double AR it and you will get what it is called now Ultimate, 1:1 or Super-duper, if you are concerned about adjectives

It is a very-very good piece, as always with River.

Date window is too much sunken, but that's because the Asian movement. Send the glass to double AR coating and you will have one of the best reps out there. You won't regret.

Edit: for that price is a real bargain. I have the old Daylight (196, wich is almost equal) from about 4 - 5 years and have been working flawless since.

Good things in life always takes time... let's give it the time it is worth

I choose your 1st one.
