How do you pronounce Ingenieur?

got pics of any installed?

Just another symptom of the disease

is this the asian copy movement that comes in the cheaper PO?

I am not sure people are questioning Eddie's reputation, I think they just would like to get a status report...I dont think that is at all unreasonable considering the issues Eddie seems to be having with PP, having to changing his dealer name, refunding peoples money without giving a reason/update etc.... With all that is going on, I think I would be a little worried as well....

The double AR on the new breitling SS is awsome! I havent had any "smudging" issues, and it wipes clean really easy!

First, I think you need to define "totaly deffective". I have purchased about 10 reps (mostly from Angus) and I have received only one that I needed to return for an exchange. I wouldnt call it "totaly defective" but there was one glaring issue that needed to be adressed. Guess I have been lucky!

If you dont think you can get them to make a XXL strap, maybe you can get them to rep the Cousteau bracelet....it looks like it is the same as the Ingy bracelet, they would only have to rep new endlinks to fit the into the curve at the luggs...

dude, come on, use ur noodle. I was not suggesting it came with a bigger strap, but rather a bigger strap was made for optional purchase...even IWC makes more than one size strap, but its over $200...

Angus, Please! Please! Please! see if the factory will make an XXXL strap for this beast! or find the cost...maybe there are enough big guys that we could all throw in $100 bucks or so to have it made!

Ah, ok, yeah thats f'd up than.

You know, I read this post, and V’s original post, and I still don’t get what the big deal is? Looks to me like there are two issues: From what I have read (and please correct me if I am wrong) Bean was going to buy some parts from V, but than changed him mind. What exactly is wrong with changing ones mind when making a purchase? If money had changed hands and than Bean changed his mind, that is one thing. But that doesn’t seem to be the case here. I suppose it would be considered very rude if Bean never PM’d V to let him know he changed his mind (did he?), but other than that, I don’t see the big deal, I used to be in sales, and that just comes with the territory. The other issue appears to me (and again, please correct me if I am wrong) is that V is disgruntled because he helped Bean by giving Bean some advice and pointing Bean in the right direction in order to save Bean some money when buying some parts, and than saw no monetary gain (by selling him parts) for bestowing his knowledge onto Bean. AGAIN, PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG…but if that is the case, that this whole issue is blown a little out of proportion. This forum is all about helping each other out in the pursuit of our “little hobby” and members like V and Zig and Joe and palp and all the others bring a invaluable wealth of info to the rest of us and I imagine, because of that, members like V and Zig and Joe and palp and all the others get bombarded with questions, and I am sure a lot of them are stupid and annoying…but isn’t that why they are here in the first place? Because the love tinkering with watches and helping out the members of this forum and hopefully making a little $$ on the side? While I can see why V might be irritated and/or annoyed in this case, making a thread solely to vilify Bean seems, IMHO, a little over the top in this case.

Most comfortable reps I have are the IWC Ingy and the new BSS...both are SUPER comfy!

rep bracelet also is/seems slightly thicker and heavier

count me in...

Wuurd! IMO, the majority of the problem is unrealistic expectation on the part of the forum members. I am amazed that the dealers are going along with this, it makes me appreciate them even more.

ok, got it...thanx! Very kewl design...

yeah, so I am still not getting it... I need to add a link, I see there are two screw caps per link, do both need to come off inordeer to open the bracelet? or just one? how do you get the cap on the opposite side out?

Hey all, so hoe do you resize the BSS bracelet? I got the pin unscrewd, but it seems to be just a cap...how do you get the pin out? thanx

yeah, lume could use a little work, it will go to The Zigmeister for that in the near future...

Hey all, new blue dial BSS and a "Ultimate" PO from Angus. The BSS is friggin A M A Z IN G ! ! ! I cant beleive its a rep! PO is pretty nice, but the black bezel aint doing it for me....Look here for more info.....

LOL! dontcha just love how not one single pic out of all them pics show the date!

Great compairison/review! I got a PO and a SS sitting at the post office all weekend, and I still gotta wait till tomorrow! damn presidents and their friggin birthdays!

Check The Zigmeister's review about the new(er) swan neck with the dagger shaped regulator, I think there were some issues with this movement...not sure if it is the same one that is in EL's 183 though...
