sorry i know this topic is old, but it interested me since i own 3 lacoste shirts. okay, well, the thing is, once you own a genuine, you will not want to buy the fake of this shirt. first off, many people can tell if it's fake or not (buttons, blah blah) second, they are really comfortable, unlike the thicker polos like A&F or PRL. they're not as expensive if you get them on sale, which is what i did. they have sales after every season i think but white and black never go on sale as they are all-season colors. ps i love lacoste.

old-stock smp like in bytor's review? those pictures and words blew me away.

he's the seller, and it is pretty much the standard asian movement. made by seagull?? i don't know, but a noobmariner is great if you're just starting out. it's pretty accurate, maybe even more so than those other subs you find online.

or is RWI not working? everytime i try to log in it says it's incorrect. anything wrong? or am i the only one with this prob?

oh just kidding, thought you meant which on would look really fake. i agree with freddy. airkings are really easy to replicate, since it's plain and simple. i saw some and they look real. no issues about datefonts, bezels, or cgs.

solid gold daydate with lots of diamonds.

can i find them anymore? it seems like they're not made anymore.. if they still do, how much can i expect to pay?

anyway, watching that movie made me think about the previous james bonds and their "omeegas." now i want to get an smp LOL!

besides name and size?

yes, i think i will. as soon as i sell my other ones. i'm thinking a DJ from eta swiss or a DJ from ttime.

i see. maybe i should live life on the fast lane.

so they won't search every package afterwards that is sent to you, and they won't search you at customs every time you go international?

wow really? so all we get if the watch gets seized is a letter? no long-term damage?

but that's true right?

yeah but i'm worried about the bad effects on us, the consumers if a watch gets seized. doesn't our name and address get entered into a database and every time we get a package or we go international, we get searched?

any US-based dealers? i'm way too scared about customs. thanks.

well i was planning to order from TTime, but they're based in China, and i was just scared about if my watch got seized in customs and i got one of those letters. then i get blacklisted.

that looks great, is that a gen dial? people are less likely to call you out on vintages than new ones, i bet. and i love that acrylic crystal. nice watch!

the dreaded letter + being blacklisted

maybe because soem of the watches go through dfw airport? i am only going to order 1, but i'm just scared that my watch will be the one out of say 50 that day that they search, and i'll get a nasty letter and get blacklisted.

wow i knew living in dallas had many upsides.. is there anyone offering to do this? i mean downsides

i agree with you on the gold part. i plan on order a 16200 black stick dial, as soon as my other watches sell.

are you located in texas? i plan to order a dj, plain and simple, but doesn't scream rolex.

also i read that EMS/reg airmail is the safest way to get it shipped?

okay, i have A LOT of questions about shipping/customs and whatever. and i know that i BARELY have any posts and experience, but it's my first time. i live in TEXAS, USA. are there any problems about customs/charges? and i PLAN to order a rep from TTime, please remove name if breaking rules, what should i expect? what should i request? should i be this worried? i know this is buying a rep. i emailed the owner and he said no custom problems. i'm just really scared because of the horror stories i read on this forum.
