Hi, Paul-Wo-Mart... Cheers Stephane

wow. Thanks for compliment LP...I hope to get better though...I'll try to have noce lume shots this week-end. Cheers Stephane

In my case I called and I now know mine is stuck at customs too since jan 30 and no letter either...allthough EMS guy said it was not because of taxes for sure. Bye Bye PO Having said that, I also had NIF mentionned in GLS trackings 6 months ago: I don't know what that means but I got the watches finally delivered each time Cheers Stephane

hmmm, interresting indeed. I didn't even check that ;-) what I can say is that it's not yet keeping good time...+ 15 secs/day and though I try to fine tune it, it doesn't seem to change it. I'll keep trying for another week though... Cheers Stephane

Hi Ozzy, Ordered feb 3 (WU) delivered feb 12 toghether with a Burberry for my wife Not bad at all to my opinion. Cheers Stephane

Hi all, I received my so called perfect submariner some days ago and for 149$, I'm pretty sure one couldn't find better. As I'm not an expert at all, I will not say anything about the flaws as I might even don't see them. One became obvious after seing the pics: insert, but I even missed it with the loup ! Here are the pics: it took me an entire a day of reading posts to achieve my first pics publishing. I learned that I needed a tripod, that I should host the pics outside of the board, and so on. I might be better at pics one day as I'm not done yet with readings ;-) The Lume pic is very hard... Note that I wear it daily so light scratches are visible of course. Cheers Stephane EDITED BECAUSE OF BROKEN LINKS

Wow very nice pics, thanks for that. Now it is on my list too... I would pick the white/silver dial too Cheers Stephane

Hi there, We all have several watches from various dealers which means that customs are possible to cross for reps. I only have one stuck in customes of Belgium right now. It's part of the game. I would advice that you carrefully read reviews about subs though: I have several and just got the "So called perfect" from Paul (wo-mart) last week. I paid it 149$ only and honestly, I am very very happy with it. Though Andrew is my favourite dealer, I think that 400$ is way too much and I'm not sure his utimate or perfect is that better then my "so called perfect". Paying more gives us the impression it's better, but it's not allways the case. I intend to post a topic about this. Conclusion: if you enter the exiting world of replica you should be aware that it is an illegal game. Cheers Stephane

Happy New Year ...to all our dealers. And another Hexpensive New Year for all the members ;-) We were all waiting for this great improvment and, for sure, some of us will buy quite a lot of Pams in 2007. This only gets more exciting. I love this place. Cheers Stephane

if it's 16610, I want 1 for sure... Cheers Stephane

you need to drive a Chevrolet Corvette and own a massage parlour to wear such watches

Hi All, If one of you knows someone in Belgium it would be great to let us know . We can't allways send to Ziggy unfotunately ;-) Cheers Stephane

20% on what price by the way... Is it on a gen's price or a rep price ? If we're talking about 50 or 100$ only then there are 2 ways: "I want it now" or "I'll wait to see if the price goes down" La patience...La patience. Cheers Stephane

Sorry I'm late, but I'm in too. Cheers Stephane

I also see some (few) people saying "oh what a nice watch you are wearing" and that is it. Why would someone care about me or my watch, I agree Archibald. How it is in real life: no one really cares about the other, anyway. 99% of people we know do not even know what a Rolex looks like, in details (and for sure do not know that Officine Panerai is a watch and not a Farmacy) When it comes to reps, I showed a sub rep to my official jeweller once. I was a regular customer of him and bought a gen Bretiling, bought pearls for my wife (hopefully gen), had a diamond ring cleaned (he said oh it's an old one, looking at it as a piece of [censored], it was my mother fiance diamond ring, hoping I would put 10k in a new one). His only comment about he sub rep I showed him for 53 seconds without saying it was fake or gen: "you can see it's fake because the second hand is not as smooth as a gen". Idiot: it was a 28.800 Eta. For the rest (dial, crown, crown guard, ...) he didn't even say anything. So what I state here is that we all have fun dealing with reps...and it must stay a funny hobby. The hobby beign collecting nice watches, with great movements (including asians) and giving some times better timeing than any gen would. Cheers Stephane

Thank God it's a great news for a sunday.

I have no idea if MBW (vintage or modern) are that important in life that it should drive people crazy. Once again, I'd love to get some (unless it puts me in the same kind of brain disorder ) But the one thing I am sure of, when reading this topic, is that only one person is going completely insane: Leo. My god man, you must hate your own life, your wife if any or partner, your neigbour, your "friends", your cat or dog if any too, your current tie, your shoes, the sky and the see. Remember: this is a game, a hobby, nothing else. Sure it's exiting...but still a hobby. Go back to real life instead of being so agressive with TTK's visa or Pug's brother. You seem to be an international businessman, a jet setter flying the world ... Enjoy life, take some great Bordeaux, f*** as much as you can, but stop spoiling our pleasure to be here. This is (should be) the end, beautifull friend, (should be) the end. Cheers Stephane

Hi Tester, I bought some watches from him, and seriously, I can't imagine you would find anything else but an ETA. How ever, if you ever want to buy case openers (Jaxa specially) please make sure you buy the highest quality. I [censored]ed some case back of my Rolex using a cheap HK tool before getting Bergeon finaly. Cheers Stephane

Hi All 4 Pug (I an not a dealer, and my brother is not a dealer. Maybe now you understand why) I'd love to get the same Sub as you Pug. But I also fully agree with you, I wouldn't put my bro or sis in this kind of deal. 4 Olreon (...they will be in stock (in about 3 months) like all other watches that he is selling, not in small batches. ) Well that is great news. Let's wait and leave Pug in peace now. Cheers Stephane

Hmmm, I'm very new here but I am very exited about getting great watches. As far as I'm concerned, I see a lot of great post, reviews, comments and so on. But, for sure, I learned a lot from Pug, By-Tor and many other "experts". Sorry to say for all those who disagree. Conclusion: thanks for all you teached me guys. Stephane

Hi All, Just in case...I posted a topic for a Baume et Mercier 8685 GMT in the VIP Trade area... Cheers Stephane

Hi All, It sounds a good idea to find a trustable dealer in Europe or to have all dealers find a way to ship "a stock" to Europe and then ship out orders from here. I have 4 watches in arrival from our trustable and nice but CN based dealers and the 1st one is stuck at customs since jan 30th... My Omega Planet Ocean 45.5mm My god, what a stress. Money is not a big issue: we all play a game and agree we can loose. But not getting the watch, aaaarghhh. I'll check out PT and Narikaa. Thank you very much Pugwash for that information. Cheers Stephane

Here we go with a total confusion now: I found this pic on a "serious" dealer web site (http://www.wwwatches.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=175&Itemid=14) It appears a Réserve de Marche could have a display case back... If so, then I would be happy to have your confirmation and get one from one of our dealers for sure. Cheers Stephane

I'm not an expert at all but I got mine from Andrew and I love it. Of course, it is a fantasy model (check Breitling.com, no SS in Avenger). Cheers Stephane

I love Chateau Palmer ! but drank so many nice Bordeaux. By chance, is there anyway to get a rep of your girl Cool topic. Thanks. Stephane PS: this is mine slightly modified as she wouldn't appreciate to be posted !
