Eunomians that is flour in that plastic bag, aint it?

did you ever talk to kruzer about the gen crown for your 029?

And if it is of any interest, Silix is selling ETA rolexes for about 130$ and Omegas for about 160 or 170$! Hey, how is it going? I dont know how, thats why I said "somehow" I'm not almighty (I only know a lot of hot girls lol)!

I bought a PO for about 180$ with an ETA, that was a long time ago, I dont remember the dealer. I bouth a Submariner with genuine swiss ETA (at least it had eta stamps) from paul for 109$. Another dealer, I dont remember his name, something with S sold ETA reps for about 100$ aswell. But ever since the cartel stepped in....... well I dont think I need to finish the sentence! You get the picture now?

Yeah, and I remember certain jokes to be somehow too much over the head for the average board member, right Esteban? :whistling:

I agree... 800$.... for that price you get a GEN TAG (preowned or heavily discounted)

It has the same subdial spacing, I put a DW dial made for a Vj23 ontop of a Venus movement and the subdial spacing was exactly the same!

Well, they better be carefull around HERE!!!!!!!

Oh really, it is ETA? Dear god that must be the reason! I'm only asking myself how the devil other dealers supplied me with ETA based watches for 100$?

WOW, someone must have slept on the joke pillow last night! Believe me, the words were very clear, there is no way of misreading that particular part. Plus I'm sure that particular dealer has english skills well enough to make himself clear, so even YOU can understand him.

what kind of crown is that?

Which is a Venus 175 copy

I dont think its a secret anymore that atleast Joshua and Andrew are members of this 'cartel'. @Tom I love your signature! Awesome artwork

I'm not really 'in' to this watch, but I would considder buying one. Why? Well, to be honest because of TTK's comments regarding this watch being one of the best made replicas (quality wise)

If it is of any interest, I got confirmation by a dealer that there is indeed a cartel whose goal it is to push the prices high.

I might add that 88 stands for "Heil Hitler", not sure if that was intentional on the dealers side or not...

that gingerkid is just yuck yuck

there has been no update for about a year or so. someone probably ate the PAW?

the Venus movement would be perfect for a 6263, because it has the same subdial spacing as a Valjoux 23/72/DW Mystery movement. The only problem is all the cases made for the Venus have improper dimensions and no assymetrical pushers. Watchhonpo has the version with proper dimensions and assymetric pushers, but you cannot order from him. I was scammed by them, they took my money and I got nothing. Andrew told me he cannot get this watch. Dont ask me why. He said he already tried to get it, but no luck

i think joshua killed andrew a while ago and has been taking over his business! or someone killed both of them and is taking over both of their businesses

someone oughta talk to silix. they can source watches, if you tell them exactly what you want. I want the sameone bytor wants.

it must be real, dont you see the TRL? :lol:

happy (late?) birthday!

The cartel-dealers figured out a way to work together with the factory to fix prices. They buddy up with the factory owner, he only sells to them (other dealers said they cant get the watch, or no large quantities) and they can charge whatever they want. Maybe other dealers have to pay high prices for the watch but the cartel dealers dont? Who knows! Thats the problem when you let people like Josh grow. They used to sell only a few watches, now they have their own damn webshop with CC processor (like bestswiss and idealwatches). With more sales comes more buying power. Thats when they started to partner up to have even greater buying power. They can probably afford to buy 500 pieces of one single watch at once (what other dealers cannot do, because they dont sell in such high volumes), hence the ability to fix prices. Now the difference lies in the DEALER. Jay&Angel have buying power too. What they do is pass those low prices onto the customer. Josh and Andrew on the other hand are starting to do the same thing bestswiss does and use their power to cutoff supplie for other dealers or make watches expensive for them. That is why I boycot them. I used to buy a lot of watches from andrew and leather goods from his partner, but ever since he started his webshop thing (and the partnership/cartel with josh) I refuse to buy from him. I never liked Joshua, because he's a crook in my opinion (despite all the asskissing he does). What I hope is, that some other chinese factory owner thinks "OMFGBBQQUACK I can get soo much for that HBB watch??" and starts to make his own HBB (happened to a few other watches before) and sells it for a bit less... That could start a price war.

That is really messed up. What I wanted to ask you, you remember that Gold JUNGHANS watch you overhauled for me some time ago? I think the mainspring broke, do you think you can get a replacement spring for that watch?
