  1. I agree whit you 100% Also, the weight A hollow gen and a hollow say noob bracelet: a couple of grams. A hollow gen and a solid mid rep: 5 grams if I remember well. I think the weight remark "oh, too light, must be a rep" comes from a legend. I wonder who's able to feel the difference of 5 grams between two watches without having both in hand
  2. Looks much better on you R. I'm happy you like it...don't forget a lume shot
  3. It should be a great week for me! Some nice projects are done and should arrive on my wrist. My Explorer II is traded for the GMT Master II. In the meantime, 16800 today
  4. Do I smell a new legend is born in Date Wheels
  5. Hello Chronozen, You are welcome here. And as Robbie said, you'll find all the information you dream off. Cheers Stephane
  6. Thanks for the nice words about our little community and a warm welcome to you! Enjoy your stay and be aware: it's addictive Cheers Stephane
  7. Fantastic news Jeff. A girl is very special to the dad! Mine is now 13, lying, playing WII or messenging with friends instead of doing home works, sending premium sms that cost me a fortune...but is so lovely . We have a saying in french: "young kids, small problems - older kids, big problems" So enjoy those marvellous first years and remember to be very patient in 15 years from now Congrats! All the best. Stephane
  8. Dear All, I'm currently chating with Andy and we think it's time for a bump here, isn't it? I closed the previous thread to start a fresh one so you don't have to scroll for hours. Here is a summary of how it looks so far Andy and I are very exited about this GTG in such a romantic and luxury place. Important notice: We personally go for a 3 day GTG package as described here under. But there is NO obligation to join for the 3 days nor the package. Everyone is welcome to pop on anytime and book a room elsewhere of course. Dates: From 9th to 12th January The "GTG" will be on the saturday (10th). Place: The city: Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. (Formerly know as Karlsbad) The hotel: [url=http://www.pupp.cz/]007
  9. Indeed, among other things like the insert ! But let's wait for ElPrimero's photos
  10. Sure. But a rep is a rep and a custom officer is a custom officer
  11. I have no experience in sending reps with insurrance. But to insure a package you must declare what is in it and the value of course. In my opinion, it might be checked by customs more often than a registered mail signed for receipt. I wouldn't do that.
  12. Guys, Sure there are rules but it's also nice to help. As long as an english translation is posted, using another language to start to gather contacts with national members is ok with me. Then the conversation can continue via PMs. Cheers Stephane
  13. Not that I have that much gen Rolex but they are all pre-owned of course. A 2001 14060 is a great choice. It's modern, has lugholes which I love (14060 always have anyways). Like USMC said: why put 2K more for the same watch but new knowing that it will loose value the minute you exit the shop. As for papers or guarantee.... I came to the conclusion with the help of my dealer and some great friends of this forum that it doesn't really matter. Original papers will raise the value of the watch when you buy it or when you'll sell it. Say +500$. But is it really worth? I don't think so as if you service the watch at Rolex you will pay the same amount of money and get a certification with their service papers. I have one without papers, and others with complete sets of papers, box, goodies. It's up to you in the end. If you can get a full set, it's of course nicer. Buying online? I bought them all on line at www.subgmt.com (a pure online dealer, with no shop) I also trust the german sellers on r-l-x.de As for US based sellers, a lot of them are very respected. I never dealt with Monster time but I don't see why there would be a problem either. Cheers Stephane
  14. Jojo, Yes, it's probably real...or Rolex I never saw a TT in the flesh but a Swiss dial plus the gold looks very Rolex to me. Is this one more addition to your amazing collection ? Cheers Stephane
  15. I'd love to help, but I have no idea which one.
  16. Hello Edwin, I'm sorry to read about your aunt. My best thoughts are with you. Cheers Stephane PS: anything BUT Jewelery Outlet...bad experience with him on my side.
  17. It's allways a true pleasure to see a member building one of these. I love it B. as you know. Hopefully mine will be on the way in early 2009 Congrats for your datewheel by the way.
  18. My goodness, what a great GTG! A single red was in the party if I see well. I wish we were there to attend it . . . . But our GTG are great too...and we also have a single red
