got some in the last month so could well be available - you will need a bezel and case set (comes with tube). Check out the bay ...usually on there.. FGD

Hi Lello These look great and as advised many weeks ago on the pre-order list - I'd like 2 x Black (196,250) and 1 x white for 188 please. Cheers FGD

Superb looking watch and strap combo...very nice indeed... Got to agree with Kruzer - Ziggy turns a "maybe" into a "must wear" ....(sometimes wish I had more arms......but then dismiss that thought as it's not normal)....that's the effect Ziggy has on you...>!! Seriously looks the nuts ...thanks for sharing FGD

Great comparison / review Tourby - I like my new one also - IMHO very close the Gen in many respects - except the loose bezel which needs fixing - any problems with yours ? FGD

Superb - I like them a lot and possibly the finest examples in existence ? :-) FGD

In total agreement - as long as it fits a Jfu case - 001/005 002/000 - if they turn out as good as they sound I'd be content with any (or alll!!! :-)) PS - T-Swiss-T with fat lume would be very nice.

Yes please - I'm in for 1 - thanks

Like it a lot .....not sure if it's my taste to wear but it looks superb..... Would love to see it on a Ferrari piece ? Thanks for the post FGD

It would be a perfect choice.....I believe it is best to harvest marahoowahwah in the dark - when the resinous glands are in their most bulbous and engorged state.........

TeeJay, First of all - respect due for having some b*lls and standing up and shouting for what you believe in ...I mean that sincerely. I think your personal price increase caveat does not factor in the marketing phenonmenon known as "premium postitioning" I love vodka...Grey Goose is a personal favourite but at

Teejay, As I have said ... yes - if products are being mis-sold that is wrong and that needs to be put right. Getting shortchanged on a refund is also wrong....and also needs to be put right.....dealers with respect and honour please take note and action.Personally - everything I have bought has been correct or exchanged without fail ...but I have never bought a B&R and have always acted as a gentleman. I think you would have far more success if you took this offline and up with the dealer direct. Do you know what you would accept to resolve your personal disatisfaction in this case? Just I believe your attempts to "change the rep world" will only leave you disatisfied....:-)

First of all....respect to Vic, Clive and some others for sound judgement and balanced opinions. I keep seeing this thread and similar ones raising their heads more and more ....the purpose of each bit of "bitching" continues to elude me. I work in the mobile telecoms industry and have dealt with the largest retailers , networks and manufacturers across Europe at a senior level for many years now so have a pretty good understanding of this market and how it works. I'm not saying this to blow smoke up my own *ss, but I'm sure that if you're here because you want "stylish" watches you'll have a stylish phone .....the two are some of the most outwardly obvious statements of style nowadays- the finishing touches yet essential to the whole 21st century lifestyle etc etc... With that said ...do we cry "cartel" "price fixing" and "destruction of the known universe" when the latest phone is released and is only available on one Network and /or only sold in one retailer.........??....I don't think so. Take the I-Phone ....States - AT&T only - due for launch in Europe - O2 in the UK , Orange in France , T-Mobile in Germany ....and they have done a deal where Apple get 10% of operator revenues - oh and the Networks have agreed not to subsidise the handset as is the norm on EVERY other Manufacturer. Now I think that sounds far worse for the consumer who loses all choice and pays more- but as I'm sure you have worked out by now ... There has been no outcry because what they are doing is perfectly legal and acceptable in the world of business and making money to look after your family and people you employ........oh and shareholders of course..(maybe your pension plan if you have one) if you have a product that you have invested time, money and effort in you protect it's premium through strategic distribution alliances As far as I can see , this is all that is happening between the makers and the 2,3 or 4 dealers that have been mentioned in these threads ....and as far as I'm concerned ...GOOD LUCK TO THEM....they are taking all the risks , volume commitments and really delivering a quality of product and service you struggle to get frm some global brands .....you try speaking to LG in the UK ...!! Supply and demand dictates market pricing - not the dealers .......believe it or not it's all down to us the fact that better reps are costing more. That said , these are some of the "largest" and most "succesful" dealers on this forum and if I have read my history correctly - people like Joshua have been around for quite some time. Clive states he's met him and he's a gentleman ....I have only corresponded and purchased circa 15-20 pieces from him and WITHOUT FAIL ....satisfaction 100% every time. Yes there have been issues on some but as I'm a gentleman and he's a gentleman we never fall out and every single little problem is resolved amicably. I have just received my replacement Arktos 092, I sent it back beacuse although it worked perfectly and I really liked it ....after posting on this forum and some eagle eyed members spotted the cyclops was the wrong size. We had a little debate , I know it wasn't going to be easy for Joshua , but he took the first one back and 4 weeks later I get a perfect replacement The B&R issue does sound like it needs to be killed ...been whining on for some time now and as far as I can see it was a sh*t movement sold overpriced .........Joshua ...suggest you resolve this as a step forward if you have not already done Any way enough of my blah....done. FGD

I believe you are looking for the same person that sells mermaid legs , squirrel wings and decent american beer.......:-)

Absolutely bl**dy gorgeous ........I've got a Pre-V itch that's getting more and more difficult to scratch away with my just my 201a...... :-) Angelus envy in effect Lovely FGD

Great looking piece.....that crown looks very good in the bottom photo - nice deep recess....enjoy it! FGD

Excellent ...sounds a bit lame ...but this is like the decoding of Egyptian heiroglyphs when they found the Rosetta stone.... A great puzzle solved I think...?:-) Awesome contribution to the craft IMHO Thanks FGD

Thank you Victoria.......It's one very classy strap indeed....and Drew's Exquisite Cordovan is not to be sniffed at either...IMHO. Nice to see this isn't just a male affliction......love the nails ....tres sophisticate......on you of course.......don't want to see this kind of extra detail in any wrist shots from V , Rolli et al....that would just be wrong on many many levels....:-) Simon

Not a bad first effort I'd say ...except 47 mm case....I think this is a sign of things to come soon - 44mm Case tool already exists - 253 / 212 etc just a matter of not drilling chono holes - Main visual issue (IMHO) with the movement back is the font..? - Depth of case back due to 47mm case - 44mm would rebalance - 44mm dial ....these really do cost cents to produce.... If the movement is available.....i'd hope to see 44mm versions soon ...with a bit of luck half decent. FGD

Great looking watches Helmut......love the straps too!!!

Too cheap.....eleventy billion for a PAM 250 ....half a squillion for a Cousteau :-)

Looks like a Radiomir minute hand to me ....I know cos I made the same mistake and now can spot this a mile off !!! That said - beautiful watch and strap combo!!!! Think the C1 white lume is the business - mine is going to Ziggy for the finishing touches - C1/C3 mix. FGD

Thanks -

Thanks V....this one began life as a 118 and I have stuck with it because I did have the chance to compare to a gen F or G series a few months ago. I don't think my eyes were as finely tuned to the detail back then but the 2 things that stuck in my mind were : The weight of the rep vs gen in the hand - almost indistinguishable The colour of the dials looked almost identical. (AR on the gen was unique though- had a prismatic rainbow effect like oil on water ....) I think in these photos the lightbox lighting highlights the grey tones in the dial paint - under normal day light it shifts between dark brown and almost black. I need to handle the gen again though now .......might have a different opinion then

...Mr CJ ...is that a oldskool DSN dial or something else......? Have you done any widening of indices , varnish etc ..? Appreciate feeback when you get chance. FGD
