  1. Sorry, I saw the l after waters as a !. Fortunately no one claimed the payment and I was able to cancel. Hope I got it right this time. If not contact me @ jamesdiggs@gmail.com. For some reason I'm not getting an email notification when I get a PM.

  2. I will take the GMT. send me your paypal address

  3. I dropped my SFSO and the second hand fell off. Is this a repair I can attempt myself? I this something the guys in the typical watch repair kiosk in the mall can handle?
  4. Thanks! Ordered from BOB. Great selection and easy to deal with.
  5. I have a Toscana 24/24 and just really don't care for the large buckle. Looking for something where I can use the smaller buckle that came with the rep rubber strap.
  6. A magnet wouldn't work on stainless, at least not a high grade of stainless. I think mine is stainless just due to the weight. Aluminum is noticeably lighter.
  7. All sellers in Europe typically say they will ship to US at buyers risk. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it similar to the shipments we all get from china with no issues? Is airmail from Europe as good a method as EMS?
  8. I'm a Virginia Tech alumni and I must admit It's been a sad year for us. Mike was known as a good guy while in school, but the money and fame went to his head. His little brother had already been ruined by Mike's money by the time he went to VT. Finding you guys has been a bright spot in an otherwise sad year.
  9. Just go my 3717 and I love the watch. The only concern I have is when I screw in the crown it feels very rough and hard to get started. Anyone else have this issue? Any way to improve it?
  10. Just got my 3717 and while I really like the bracelet I ordered a strap from watch boys on the bay. Any idea where I can find an 18mm IWC buckle?
  11. I recently bought a 2001 Daytona 7750 with a rep black gator deployment strap from a respected member. I love the watch, but the strap adjusted to the longest length is just a wee bit tight on the wrist. Any suggestion on a replacement strap or a Daytona bracelet? I've done a search and looked on the bay.

  13. Thanks everyone. I went with PP Twenty 4, the one with the least diamonds. She already has a Gen TAG, so the PP should fit well with her other watches.
  14. Thanks for all the input. The more I think about it, my wife would not be into the automatic thing and would grab the watch where the time was correct, so I think I will stick with quartz. The J12's are nice, but I don't think she would go for the black or white. I stopped at an AD this afternoon which carries Omega and Tag I really didn't care for the constellation but did like TAG Aquaracer with the diamond bezel. It looks a lot better in person than on thier website. I was goining to post a link to one on Andrew's site, but due to recent events I didn't know if that was cool to do. As an aside could someone tell me how to post a link that displays an underlined word that is in fact a link. I'm a mac user if that matters.
  15. After a great deal of research and some help from some of the SUB gurus I'm going to order a Noob ETA Sub from Andrew for myself and am looking for something for my wife. I was thinking of a Datejust, but not sure she wouldn't prefer quartz and not have to deal with setting the watch. She has a Gen TAG quartz. Looking for something sporty as I got a dressy Cartier for her on my last order. Also if I did go with the Datejust how does the gold hold up on the TT and what is wrapped gold?
  16. Ordered an Omega black strap with orange stitching 2 1/2 weeks ago and I haven't seen it yet. Emailed him on order status about a week ago. No answer.
  17. I'm a Noob, but have purchased four watches in the last few weeks, Three from Josh (PP5070, PO45, Cartier for my wife) and a modded PAM from flav. I want a Speedmaster Moonwatch with the manual movement and have read all the reviews. Josh has two that look almost identical. http://watchwindersworld.com/omsp10003-bro...onos-p-633.html http://watchwindersworld.com/omsp10004-bro...nos-p-1961.html I emailed him and asked the difference and got the following reply "The dial and the slight variation in the needles.." I can see the second hand the 03 model is more accurate based the reviews and the 3,6,9 markers are better on the 04 model. Are either of these a good choice? If not any suggestions?
  18. I am the new owner of the modded 11H. Great watch from a great guy I'm have a few GENS, but am new to REPS (only 4, but all in the last few weeks) and look forward to taking advantage of some of flav's creations in the future.
  19. Sorry, Noobie mistake http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1
  20. The recent diver 200 posts got me interested in a monster. While watching a few on ebay waiting for a good deal I noticed the 200 Oxygen Countdwon model which looks interested. Any of the Seiko collectors have any input or should I stick with the monster?
  21. Received uPO45 from Josh two days ago described in his website as 2824-2. Ratchets in both directions, winds in one direction.
  22. Got it done today. Watch repair shop at the mall. $10. The first place I went, a mall kiosk couldn't do it. too hard. They both looked the watch over very close, but didn't ask the obvious question.
  23. I received my ultimate PO from Joshua today and as it is my first rep I'm very impressed. It looks as good as the gen Explorer II I'm wearing and feels more realistic. I've looked at it through a magnifying glass and I can make myself think the Omega logo might be misaligned, or some of the hour markers, or the numerals, but I think it is mostly optical illusions. To me it's a great watch for what it costs. Can anyone help me with resizing the bracelet? I've done a search, but have only found that it is difficult.
  24. I read your and The Zigmeister's reviews before purchasing. I new what I was getting and found that most of the issues with the movement involved Daytona's or other chronos with dials at six. I know I'm new to this, but I have spent many hours on this forum since joining and my sense is that maybe we sometimes expect too much for what we are paying for these reps.
  25. I just received my first reps. I ordered a PO 45, PP 5070 and a quartz Cartier for my wife form Joshusa. All showed up at my office in an EMS envelope wrapped in bubble wrap. Surprisingly small package for what was inside. All the watches look great and run fine. I was a little concerned in the beginning when I received tracking info, but nothing showed up on the EMS site for 5 days. Josh said not to worry the forwarders were only waiting for the right opportunity to ship. Once it shipped it only took five days to reach the east coast of the US. So as all the veterans have said, be patient your shipment will reach you quickly one it gets in the system. Is there a 12 step program to kick this habit?
