Beautiful piece, and probably wears fantastic at 44mm.  If you wind up letting this one go, i'd be interested.

Do you need to be platinum/VIP to post a reply to a thread in there?  I tried to reply asking a seller about a watch but I am unable to. 

Have you received the lighter? 

^^ Agreed.  Sent you a PM aswell.

My experience with iOffer has been different.  I ordered, paid, and then received a message from iOffer that the sellers account has been suspended for violating the ToS.  Tried emailing the sellers address on the paypal account, but nothing back yet.  Probably going to wait a week and open a dispute.

Oh wow, how long has it been?  I've heard a lot of mixed feelings over ioffer.

LOL! Exactly the one I ordered from iOffer (97$ shipped) -> https://www.ioffer.com/i/s-t-dupont-highest-quality-lighter-ab097b-528506002

I'm curious to see how it is, considering that the same model on kuvarsit is listed for 118US$ + shipping...

I'd like to hear what you have to say about it once you receive it.  Have always loved the look of the dupont lighters.

^^ How do you like wearing it on the NATO?  I've been thinking of switching mine off the bracelet for a while.

Wow, thats simply gorgeous.

Silix has the cheap model for $92 plus shipping

Wow, all of the breitlings are so much cheaper.  Anyone have input on this site?

Wow, beautiful YM.  If I wind up selling my daytona, this may be my next purchase.

Thanks so much guys!  Let the experimenting begin!

Well, i've run out of places to look for the DG3894b.  any other suggestions?

^^ What crystal is that?  It looks tall, and fantastic!

None on ebay, and OOS on Ofrei.  Time to start google'n.

Thank you very much for the info.  Im guessing my watch became magnetized from sitting near my computer speakers.

Im pretty sure I could tackle the R&R myself after doing a bit of reading.  I'd have to get the proper movement (was sold as an asian 21j movement.)  Would the movement come with a new stem and crown?

Other than the most obvious answer of a magnet, how would a movement become magnetized?

Good Evening Gents,

I started this hobby a few years ago when I purchesed a GMT Master 2 from a site i was given by a friend that was into reps (they're not a TD here, nor would I recommend them)  The watch started to run fast on me, gaining a min a day or so.  Towards the end of its life, I could no longer adjust the 24hr hand, the watch was gaining 15+min a day, and finally the crown broke off of the stem. 

Does anyone think it would be worth servicing?  The watch does have some sentimental value as it was my first rep.  Any recommendations of someone in the CONUS to fix this?

Cheers!

Welcome!! Signed up and read :notworthy: you get a free who has the best sub ! Just kidding but if you have a question you can not find answer for PM me.

hahaha Thanks!  All i've been doing here is reading and making the searchbar useful.  every question I've come up with so far has been answered, all its taken is a little time to find the answer!

Thanks Pete!  I'll look into the upgrade.  I'm getting used to the layout here, much different than other forums I'm a part of.  Also, placed an order with Toro today.  Hope I have a lot better experience with this one that I have in the past ordering from another site.

I just ordered the H Factory steelfish from Toro today myself.  Cant wait for it to come in.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

Good Morning Gents!  I signed up here a little while back, and i've been reading non stop.  Wanted to introduce myself here, and say thanks for all of the information.
