  1. The Laureus looks great on the Gen strap. Well done mate now I want one! Thanks for posting pics!
  2. My Black Bay is in with the watchsmith now with a dead movement, I expect it to need parts
  3. Ladymatics are nice, but crystal while sapphire is not ARed, contact sunnydale to make this watch really awesome
  4. can you give a plated gold bracelet an oil bath?
  5. It's a pity as the Cartier Tank Francaise would make an excellent 1:1 rep
  6. I would loves this to be an excellent rep
  7. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN! Who am I kidding, it's too late
  8. I agree sunny. My LMPO arrived yesterday and now is on my wrist. Wow, what a beauty! I could have been ultra picky about the QC picks (I rejected one), but in real life size I don't even notice the slight deviation of the dial. The jeweler that re-sized my bracelet was raving about what a nice watch it was (and I also had my 15 year old gen Smp getting a new pin, which he didn't mention in his praise). I think the only way someone would tell this watch is a rep is if they were standing next to you with a gen Liquidmetal, but the odds of that are 1948 in 7 billion! Plus Angus has said if noob improves the dial he will offer it as a part. I see what you're saying cougar about demanding improvement, but in the same regard this is easily the best PO rep, and noob should be rewarded for delivering it, I mean at $300 it's crazy value to me.
  9. Looks like a good one. Only thing that would bother me is that the "2" is lower than the "1" in the "12". But it's easy to be picky when the watch is many times bigger than real life on your monitor.
  10. Yikes, either you have the worlds strongest grip or there may be a problem
  11. Good video comparing the glossy Liquidmetal bezel with a CrPO 45mm [video=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njBbokxfSm4]
  12. Thanks, lots of interesting points being made. I have to agree with what has been said in that watch replicas are worth buying because they look the part, which really is the main reason people buy watches - I mean an iphone keeps excellent time. And with golf the most important thing is function. I guess my thoughts were there are a tonne of rep golf clubs being made in China - if it's anything like the watch game some will actually do a good job of it. So maybe their are some factories that make a decent set of clubs that can be bought for a fraction of the cost. Also unlike watches which are Swiss made, golf clubs are all manufactured in China anyway, so the industry expertise is their already. I was trying to buy one Mizuno MP 69 rep iron from a factory in China, but they will only sell the whole set of irons. My brother has the genuine article so I was very interested to directly compare the two. I also wonder if golf clubs are actually that hard to rep as oppose to say an intricate watch. Probably these factories are set up to make quick profits by producing good looking clubs. They don't care about reputation so if the clubs are clangers then they don't care. Thanks again!
  13. Hello all, I have noticed many replica golf clubs around from China, plus the fact that most top brand clubs are manufactured in China now. I am wondering is there a place around like RWG that has info about ordering good quality rep clubs? Cheers
  14. This watch looks amazing. I absolutely love the case back, but tend to agree with others that Omega should have left the Bond homage there. The 007 dial, while only visible from certain angles, is a bit gimmicky (but looks very well reproduced). Still this is a good sign of improvement in Omega reps.
  15. Paleo diet is basing your eating on what Paleolithic man ate. So in basic terms no processed foods, keep away from farmed grains etc etc. The idea is to follow more of a hunter gatherer diet. It works great for leaning out and getting more energy, but IMO it works for different reasons than most people think. The main reason this diet works (and the main reason most diets work for that matter) is that it restricts what type of foods you eat. When you take someone who is eating unrestricted, and place them on this type of protocol they will invariably eat less, because they won't have as many food choices available to them. A lot of their favorite foods will be off the list and they will struggle to eat the same calories as before with a limited range of foods. Any diet that cuts overeating out results in greater energy. Diets stop working when people learn how to game the system (ie. they find a food group they can eat in the rules and overindulge) or when people have a bad day or two and give up thinking all is lost. To be honest I think the Paleo brigade are a little precious. If they want to scorn agriculture and culinary tradition in favor of returning to a caveman diet then fair enough. But they should also disregard all the other modern innovations that man has done like cars, computers, flush toilets etc Diet and exercise is simple on paper and hard in practice. Magic formula => Eat less, move more
  16. I agree with Irishcain about http://moderntailor.com. I have found the Modern Tailor service excellent. My first shirt was based on providing body measurements. This shirt arrived and was too baggy. Their customer service was great and they provided a free trial shirt to get the fit right (I measured my best fitting shirt with some modifications - this is the measurement method you should use!). The trial shirt arrived and was great, they then provided me another free shirt once the fit was right! I really like the profiles you set up on their site. You can keep tweaking your shirt profile in the search for perfect fit! They also have an awesome array of fabrics and styles to choose from with their shirts. You can order a fabric swatch pack that gives you a chance to see in person the different fabrics before ordering shirts. If you would like to try the service give me a PM, I have a few $20 discount codes for your first order.
