  1. We have also got your Gwyneth Paltrow who has no plans to leave, she says how much she likes the U.K. because the "English are so amusing at dinner parties." And you have also sent us the Chrysler Sebring WTF is that about I think we left some money on the table!
  2. Sorry Guys but I have to have a go at this one I'm not trolling but "Where Have all the Bargains gone" and "Good Deals" well a bargain generally stands for "I managed to steal this from the guy who did'nt know what it was worth" and good deal is a very one sided argument and the "good deal" is generally from the buyers perspective.... I dont know about you guys but a good deal should be where both parties feel they have come out of the transaction feeling happy and that there was no money left on the table so to speak.. I personally have a watch up for sale and I tried my luck at about 30 GPB off retail without postage and packing and then have dropped recently to a price which has created more interest... Now It's a no-brainer surely to try and get as much for your piece as possible not give the bl**dy thing away. I'm sorry my life does not revolve around giving other people the deal of the century cos the thing is secondhand.... Secondhand does not equal inferior goods try using a term I Used when selling cars "Previously Loved" . In my experience everyone has 3 ideas on pricing 1. What they would Like 2. What they will accept 3. What they end up taking after a chat and a cup of coffee I can understand some people who just want to pick up cheaply a beaten up well used piece and give it a bit of TLC to get it back to tip top condition quite right and proper someone has had a great deal of use out of it previously and the price should be adjusted accordingly. What I take umbrage at are the individuals who expect to pay bottom dollar for a immaculate piece which has hardly seen any wrist time... I think we all know that a large percentage of us are very careful with our pieces and that the majority of watches for sale are in almost as new condition. Sorry YT74 I just dont see your point this is'nt a charity shop and I think I'd rather keep my watches than give them away...
  3. I too think this piece is amazing Having just recieved mine this morning (Blue Dial MBW Jumbo) I can quite honestly say it matches the adjective sublime in both it's interpretations. 1. of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe. 2. extreme or unparalleled: I am finding the same symptoms as Ubi and keep on staring at the blue dial shimmering in the sunlight, this coupled with the way it sits nicely on the wrist I can see this being a keeper. I can understand why some may find them a little nondesript, however once held it is a very difficult piece of Objet D'Art to put down. I don't think my pictures would match Ubi's, so I will refrain from embarrassing myself, suffice to say that if anyone is contemplating purchasing one of these then don't hesitate. You will not be disappointed
  4. Hi all about time I showed the strap sorry for the huge pictures just cant use my photoshop at mo What do you think the lugs are not as full as i'd like but she still looks good on the wrist.. Not classy but sporty i think? Edit got the pictures right at last
  5. Hi Please take a look at this have I got wrong http://cgi.ebay.ie/ROLEX-GMT-MASTER-II-BRA...1QQcmdZViewItem Now am I right in thinking that on a gen Pesi Bezel the red does not creep into the 18 marker where it meets the blue? What do you think?
  6. Hi All I have used my super GMT from PT to assist in the sale of an item on Ebay. Seems to be working, glad I put the caveat watch not for sale in the item description.. Deliberately included reflections and used hand placement to disguise branding by the way! take a peep:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ZYMOL-Vintage-Wax-Solid-Acrylic-Wax-Container-UNIQUE_W0QQitemZ330116884441QQihZ014QQcategoryZ72201QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem I dont think I've crossed any lines here although I have had one offer for the watch which I politely declined..
  7. At present I am thinking "What Have I Done" I'm putting this: http://www.thewatchprince.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1262/.f With this: http://www.perfectclones88.com/bl02005-sup...02.html?image=0 In a twisted way I thought this may look cool "Ahem" Obviously not worried about it being a gen strap but would value your opinions guys... Bad move or what ever floats you boat Will post some pics when it arrives if you promise to wear sunglasses before viewing (EDIT)I know picture shows 20mm I have bought the 22mm
  8. Hi Everyone Seeing as how I started this topic and then disappeared off for a very relaxing UK bank Holiday break I thought I ought to respond to the posts. I have to admit that I can see this forum growing on me there are obviously quite a few "cunning linguists" in here however 20 odd years of sales in the Motor Trade have given me a skin as thick as a rhino.. so i can take the stick " As long as the biter does'nt mind being bitten" There are a lot of Knowledgeable guys here and although I dont know where I'm going with this hobby I will see how far I get sucked in. Maybe one day I'll share the story of the transgender watchsmith arrested while popping a wheelie on his/her Harley Bad Boy in the English Riviera resort of Torquay one day. (Trust me a real story). @stephane Subs and GMT's for me all day long (just need to get it out of my System) @Jfreeman420 had to look up shill nope sorry not one of those "Chill" @TTK am I done yet? By the way the best SUB is the one your happy with and it seems in this game that will never happen! Thanks for the posts everyone
  9. Hi I have been a browser/occasional poster here for a while which is fine and dandy for me, I
  10. Count me in Interested in what all the hullabalo about these pieces are all about.. Chrono version for me I guess payment details will be finalised once the number is reached
  11. Hi After a quick browse on this thread Movement Check I wondered if it was possible to tell what movement I'm running with in my Sub "Ultimate". She only winds Clockwise but after numerous searches and now quite a distinct headache from searching hundreds of threads I can't find info on whether a Swiss ETA 2836-2 should wind in both directions.... If this question has been answered before I apologise but my god there are some threads on this board! The search button is my friend The search button is my friend The search button is my friend
  12. Hi Everyone Thought i'd better say Hi rather than sit on the sidelines like a an eavesdropper..(Peeping Tom) Based in the South West of the Sceptred isle. Have bought a few items standard "Newb stuff" Sub "Ultimate" Sub TT "Black" on "Black" Brietling Steelfish "When it Gets here" Sub TT with Jubilee "Black" on "Black" and finally Tag indy 500 again waiting for it to land on it's way via customs now looking at tracking. Sorry Pan guys they just dont do it for me (Yet) Omegas look superb but which one????? Hublot "Phwoar" but do I have the bottle to wear one? Rolex HMMMM let me think yep they're the ones for me, sorry I know they can be a bit gauche and obvious but there's just something about them... Please don't hold the above against me it's nice to be aboard certainly some interesting threads and a lot livelier discussions than some other forums. Looks like a pivotal time to be a rep collector hope I'm on the upward sweep
