  1. Best Patek Phillipe Rep

    in Other Brands Area

    Posted

    cud any 1 pls tel me the web address for TTK or is trustytime ANDREW TTK?? im kinda confused.....thankx

    Hi There, Welcome.

    Some have been nice to you and some have been rude.

    So, I'll be nice, because being rude with a noob is nasty.

    Being a noob myself, I allways value nice members coments and tips.

    TTK is not Andrew, and TTK does not "sell" from a catalogue. Check his section on this board, send him a mail following instructions, and you'll get a reply.

    Andrew is TrustyTime and, as for TTK, go to his section here at RWG and you will find out what you can get.

    Hope this helps,

    Cheers

  4. What Rolex Rep this one is ?

    Hi and welcome too,

    I will not tell you what it is, as it could be anything, but I would suggest that you check your links.

    I couldn't open the pics.

    I'm sure some Rolex experts might help you, but, why not say where and how much ?

    Pictures are not allways easy to make an opinion.

    Cheers

    Stephane

    EDITED: oops, sorry I could open the pictures now.

  8. Re-Luming in Europe ?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    To be honest it doesn't cost much more to send it to Ziggy, and for parts the customs issues do not really apply.

    That is absolutely true. Ziggy is worth a few extra $.

    Now, when the watch itself is sent, for us EUs, it's a serious risk though.

    I wish Ziggy lived in Brussels :wounded1:

  13. Edge's Red 1680 is safe again after travelling from UK to Belgium

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    Dear All,

    Some of you may have heard that Edge and I made a deal and that I bought his incredible beauty.

    As I know that some members participated in the mods of this watch, I figured I should post some news of the travel and let them know when the watch is safe again.

    So, everything is fine. The watch arrived safely today and is now on my wrist ;)

    I will take tons of pictures of the actual watch but give me some time as I need to first have some good light and it's pretty rainy for the moment.

    Edge's first post link is here under. It was in April 2006 and it shows some pictures but the watch has considerably changed since then.

    Here is the list of what has been done:

    CG's Reshaped

    Crown and Tube exchanged for Genuine

    Bezel and Dial exchanged for Excellent, Aged Replacements

    Genuine Bezel pearl

    End Links Modified and Adapted to Accept Gen Springbars

    Genuine Springbars

    Bracelet Modified to Accpet Gen Springbars

    Case completely refinished, to be aged, and smoothed.

    Case Lugs Drilled for Gen bars

    Bracelet refinished

    Fully waterproofed

    Regulated

    Genuine Tropic.

    Cheers

  14. Depreciation of Gens

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have 2 second hands shop selling gens around here and I asked to check for Rolex and JLC only.

    Both comments were: buying these two brands is a good investment as they will never loose their second hand original value.

    I'm not sure buying any Pam would be the same, unless what you buy is a vintage or a limited. Others might suffer from the hype around the brand maybe.

    I guess any top brand's vintage or limited models keep their value for ever anyway.

  17. Pls name the Dealers that:

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Ok, let's be precise:

    - TTK: got 3 watches so far without problems and ordered a total of 5; The 4th one will come back to EU with Narika later this month, and the fifth has been traded and is sent straight to the member I traded with. He does NOT dropship, for sure, and check them in person too.

    - Precious Time: Never had an issue neither. Ordered and received 3 watches. One more has been ordered on tuesday may 15th, it was in stock. PT made a 48 hours QC and shipped it on thirsday 17th. I'm pretty sure it will be on my wrist on monday.

    Cheers

    Stephane

    EDIT: I realise that it's not a lot of watches from TTK and PT, but I do not want to come back to all my previous purchases from CN dealers.

    I lost watches, they came with deep scratches sometimes, the mvt stopped, ....Let's forget about the bad experiences.

    But, I am 100% sure they

    1). do not see them in persons, thus do no QC

    2). have them shipped directly from the manufacture

    @ElPrimero: you seem to be a lucky guy with Josh. I wish I started with Josh instead of other CN dealers :black_eye:

  22. where has all the real discussion gone?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    i agree with jfreeman and RT....let's take two relatively new members as an example: blackrain and stephane (hey, they rhyme!). both have clearly enjoyed this place and have made conscious efforts to find ways to contribute to the forum in whatever capacity they are capable of doing. these two guys are perfect examples of how this forum is still growing, helping, thriving, whatever. the same could be said of numerous other members, new and old :victory:

    deltatahoe

    Thanks Delta for your compliment. I sincerely appreciate.

    This thread might have been opened in a "bad day" by a member being in a "bad mood".

    If not, well I have to admit this happens to me sometimes too: getting frustrated that I can't find anything new to read and learn from.

    But, if that is the case, I browse a brand area in example and go to the oldest pages to find more topics that I could have missed.

    Now, come on guys, let's be fair to this board: everyday there is at least one interresting new thread, isn't it ? :yu:

    And what to say about all these trades between members ? Isn't that very cool too ?

    My personal conclusion regarding RWGII is that in 4 months I learned more about watches than in 40 years.

    For this reason, and also for having made new "distant friends" all around the planet, I can only shout BRAVO to RWG, its staff and members. :clap::notworthy:

    Cheers

  23. Is there a rep that you would wear into an AD?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I was wondering if there is a rep out there that is so good that you're willing to wear it into an AD? Good enough to let them handle it? Obviously no rolex would fill the bill because a good shake would reveal the truth. I ask the question not wanting to do this, but just wondering if any reps have gotten this good.

    You say: "not wanting to do this"

    Well, no one should even talk about going to ADs anymore according to the new board rules.

    Our reps are so close (even the NON super) that they might fool almost anybody.

    One exception: the ADs.

    And, again, only members can spot differences between all the reps versions and their gens.

    The real question is "are you wearing a watch that you can afford in real life?", isn't it.

    Cheers

    Stephane
