If I drop the watch off at an AP/Blancpain dealer, I can expect to wait for 3 or 4 months, which really sucks.

I meant the actual work done. Maybe three to four months when you drop your watch because you are waitng in line.

Servicing an AP Offshore: $1200

Servicing a Blancpain Flyback Chrono: $1000

Refinishing a RO bracelet: $400 by AP Clearwater

Servicing by The Zigmeister: $100-$175

You do the math.

Ouch ouch ouch!! Really?? How long does it take to service a watch? Let say three hours, that $400 an hour. That is already a lawyers rate.

No offense guys, but is there anything to talk about a gen piece? None. You buy it, you show it off,,,ooohh great looking expensive watch, and that is it. But if you buy a rep, there are a lot of things to talk about, like ooohh oohh your cg's are no good,,aaahh my cg's are better and on and on and on

I think this is the reason why gen owners are here. There are a lot folks here that own expensivo gen watches.

$900, darn those scam sites can fleece unsuspecting buyer. For that kind of money you can get about five or six decent ETA reps here. Well it is to late now. Read a bit more if ou are still planning to buy more.

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

Errr.. wasnt the time to play 'what if' over this deal BEFORE you placed a bid?

For 2,400 USD online transaction, you need to answer a boatload of "what if".

Just my .02

My babies

I will give my pepsi a wrist time this week.

Why do you guys insist on using this shitty Imageshack....with bloody Casino or Smiley popups and images that never bloody work.....USE PHOTOBUCKET.....

Hurt your eyes Neil??

well my friends...i would have one question for all of you including dealers...

what is the problem on the PAM092 arktos about the letters (N, E, S, W) falling off?

i tought to buy one cause it is not that expensive with the asian mvt, and it looks great...

but the fact that some of you complained about letters falling off makes me think...

should i buy it or not? is there some solution to prevent this thing about letters falling off?

tnx

You just have to control your twitches and shivers about this watch my friend. This is the very first version we are talking about. Flaws are expected. I will wait for the next version,,,or the 3rd,,,or 4th maybe if I can still hold myself

.

go with homer's version, except from the bezel insert, its spot on.

the tube accepts a genuine crown. and the CG needs no modding at all. only new insert.

I agree 100%. Perfect review of Homer's red/black GMT II. Only mod needed is the insert,,,,,,,,,,big "IF" this is still the same stock he had last year. I mean the older version with the wrong handstack.

Is there any advantage to having a plastic movement retainer over a metal one, or vice versa?

I do not think there is an dvantage between plastic and metal, It is just me, anal,,,you know

Seriously....I have three watches that I recieved not working at all. All the problems pointed to the plastic retainer. They were not properly seated when the caseback was closed that it was binding with the movement. I have to open the caseback and re seat the plastic inside. Where as if it is the metal retainer, it will not close if not seated properly. Just my experience.

The hour marker should be squared, not rounded and the crown should be a bit longer. IMO Andrew's is much closer. But darn Andrew, why the cheapy plastic movement retainer?

Whew!! I think I just had an orgasm!! whew!!!

For the week end

Anyone knowing who may still have the "old" version please shoot me a PM.

I am not going to let go of mine I love it.

Thanks JJ

Does anybody has River's link to his collection? I can't seem to find it.

My favorite is the red/blue 6542 with white second and red date font. Has anybody seen this rep? I would like to get one if available.

Nope!!!! for that kind of money, I will get a gen GMT II. Red/Black or red/blue.

This one this weekend.

What a purty 2255.80 Bazz is the bezel marking suppose to be black or blue.

sshheesh!! Look what have you have gotten yourself into Bres. But hey, this is what forums are about, sharing opinions. We made our dealers post prices for thier wares, so I won't be surprise if there is a mini war brewing to make more sales amongst our dealer ..

Be cool everybody, it is just a hobby.

Wow, I like to know how to cuz I have one comming just like this. Is there no spring arround the inside of the bezel that look like the inside of a sub bezel?? I really thouth it is like a sub bezel. I hope yours is not factory error.

SMP for me

Ok, haven't really posted anything on this new site so here it goes.

enjoy!

From whom did this 2254.50 came from. Nice long minute hand. What a beaut.
