  1. I just want them to crap their pants when they see me coming to the poker table Hell, I'd crap my pants if I spot someone with a WSOP bracelet on my table!
  2. I think the best out there is a mechanical alarm movement, or the tourbillon. thats about it, I guess!
  3. wow, I cant believe clive gave up on that one!
  4. the engraving on the newer asian movements is still totally WRONG
  5. why did this came to your mind now?
  6. A Rolex has to be earned, too, my friend! I just wanna wear it during a local turnament to scare other players, thats all.
  7. swiss is engraved, asian is just stickers. asian looks more correct, if applied right, IMO. You can open the caseback and reallign them yourself, its an easy task!
  8. Has anyone ever seen them? I'd like to get one of them for the next local poker torunament I think someone spoke of replica WSOP bracelets before, but I forgot who it was!
  9. No, but I used to have a cagiva mito! Do you?
  10. Thanks, I'll check it out and see what I can find! I found a site that offers New Years trips, the rooms would just be 70$ a night in midtown manhattan at a pretty decent 2 star hotel right accross the basketball stadium and penn station, plus flight (which is around 500), but the trip is for 5days only and I wanna stay more than 5 days for sure!
  11. that sounds good. even though I dont like the way they did it on the (genuine) regatta (because it just doesnt look as it should look on a 10.000$ watch), I'm happy that the asian repmakers atleast got the rotor right
  12. I think I got the same ducati shirt in black And my hair also used to look like that, but ever since I got my hair cut by that freakish gothic girl, it looks.... well... different
  13. Holiday Inn was almost 200$, and that wasnt the price for the time around new years Isnt there something like a youth hostel or guesthouses in manhattan?
  14. can anyone recommend something where I could stay for about 9-10days in NYC (preferably Manhattan, if not manhattan, no brooklyn or harlem please!) which costs less than 100$ a night during New Years (week before and after). 2 years ago I stayed at Hotel Pennsylvania in Midtown Manhattan. It was OK there, the room pretty much sucked, but the location was superb and the price was low (about 70$ a night). Afterall, I just needed a place to sleep, I was out all day anyway. But that wasnt around New Years, it was during spring.
  15. could you talk to your lady at the factory and ask her if they could make something like this (because blancpain uses the same tourbillon style as seagull)
  16. i know, and even though i f&$%ed up many watches, I cant leave my finger off the caseback-remover. In the end most of them turned out well, but it took me a lot of time and frustration! especialy those DAMN case clamps... I'm the type of person that gets really angry if something wont work out after the first 5 trys and evertime I try to install those case clamps, I'm about to destroy something in my house, because it's just a pain in the [censored]!
  17. is the rotor engraving supposed to look like that? and its the old 7750, too!
  18. well, I dont wanna start anything (because I know, someone's gonna be offended for sure, because he always is), but we've heard from TTK-DOA watches as much as about any other dealer's watches being DOA!
  19. What also makes you wonder is the fact that it went for 270pounds... I always thought vintage rolex watches were ALL worth a buttload of cash!
  20. thats why you shouldnt mess with watches, everytime I did it, I had similar problems as you are describing now. Once one of the clamps got lose after some time and jammed the movement, once the crown wouldnt work properly anymore, once I got a little hair into a movement and hat to disassemble some parts, remove the hair, took me at least 15hours to complete the job... I dont know what it is with watches, but for some reason they tend to have issues fairly easy, if you work on them and are not a watchgod!
  21. that looks very good, really! I especialy like the look of the movement
  22. because you were dumb enough to pay 75bucks for that crown lol and I thought I was dumb when I paid 200 for my first faux-chrono =)
