  1. hahaha , was reported two days ago and taken down thankfully
  2. I don't know a lot about ROO's but from everyone I've ever seen the subdial spacing is different along with the lack of a 6 and 9. On top of that it looks like it has 2 second subdials at 12 and 6, where as most I've seen have minutes at 10/20/30 @9 and 3/6/9/12 @6. Is this a ripoff or did I miss the boat on a model ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audemars-piguet-royal-oak-offshore-/221186188512?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item337fb964e0

    p90 x

    I've gained lost 40 pounds at least 3 times in my life so I'm pretty comfortable with what works and what doesnt. First time I was a senior in HS and conituned to eat whatever had a crapp diet but worked out every single day 1 hour, naturally just lost the weight had a good metabolism as a kid, second time in college was a bit tougher , worked out probably 1 1/2 hours and pretty much went on a subway, quiznos diet, third time I got my diet right before I started and did a month of cardio. I would highly highly suggest for anyone getting involved in getting back in shape get the basics fixed first then move on to the workouts. Trying to do to much to quick can quickly lead to burn out and not retaining your loss like I did the first few times. This time I swam/ran 1 hour a day 5 times a week and kept my diet to 1900 calories, and cheated on saturdays. Once I got my cardio back I hit the p90x and here is the diffierence from day 1 to finish. Last but not least dont cheat yoruself, pause the video and finish each exercise no matter how long it takes good luck.
  4. start small and work your way up is the best advice. Tell yourself your going to learn the difference between a 21j and a eta clone movement.28XX. From there then jump into issues with certain movements and date/time placements (second hands at 6 or date at 4.5) once you have an idea of some of the common issues then you have a better guide up to look for what you want, from there then you can learn more about basic mods and etc. Slow and steady wins the race , just dont try to learn to much. And I did the crown/tube rep as my 2nd mod on my UPO as a newbie , its pretty easy if your stock tube isnt a pain just be patient and dont rush anything.
  5. I recently read your mod post didn't realize it was your post lol, any chane you might be willing to do this? If I had the insert shipped to you , you break it no worries
  6. Ya the pearl is off centered to , driving me crazy. I got no problem buying another but through my research it appears the have a piece in the middle that sticks out and has to be filed down, the gen that is. And they only ones I've seen on the bay are the ones from wholesaleoutet which I've been told are gen spec and don't fit rep bezel any ideas.
  7. The only advise I could offer is a middlemen required service for people without sales reps. When I first joined I made sure I read the rules learned some things and did my first purchase very slowly. I told myself I wouldn't do the deal with anyone under 5 positive and although I passed on some I stuck to it and had ample communication from the get go. The real issue lies in when and if I do a sale. Although I have 12 years off 100% on eBay there's no set equation to carry that over. With that said I'm comfortable in my ability to communicate with others and am willing to do whatever I can that is reasonable to make people comfortable. So outside a middlemen service offered simply by 1/2 outstanding vets you just have to be smart do your research and realize you have a lot of options to minimize the risk. If there new don't WU don't PayPal gift, use ur credit card through PayPal to ensure two lines of defense don't buy from someone who rubs you the wrong way or simply lacks what you could consider educated . Last but not least remember that what goes around comes around, typically much worse.
  8. I recently bought a 45.5mm PO and I have no issues with it except for the bezel. If you look closely in the picture you can tell the 20 is resting right up next to edge. I'm wondering if this can be corrected be poping the insert out and moving it, or if its a bad bezel and needs to be replaced.
  9. even with showing two pictures of different watches its still a bust and by a wide margin, stay away from chronos if your not going to spend any real money

    The BIG 4!

    Congrats only 3979 to go!
  11. Yeah I love this watch, I have the SW200 movement and the caseback is really cool. And wow I have got to get this thing re lumed, its fairly poor but that picture above makes it look awesome
  12. wow ya I"m buying the gen of this
  13. I'd normally say yeah, as I'd spend 30 bucks on almost anything but there are a quite a few very glarying issues with that watch even from such a small low pixelated picture, the hands are off not only in fishish but in size and lume, the tachy meter spacing is way way off especially after 80, I dont even see the tag logo where it should be with the huge white font that says grand carerra, the subdial spacing is off as well as the red markers, inner tach spacing color is off too, the crown is a bit small and the color on the tacy is not the same as crown and HE valve. and what I think are called the g screws on the band are way off. I'd pass if I were you
  14. please do, I"m definitely interested in perhaprs procurring one if they are back in production, GL hope it works out for ya
