  1. Welcome and enjoy your stay. ....And when you do wear a watch, you choose??
  2. All the links point to repgeek...check your cut and paste.
  3. I've collecting reps for a long time. Back then I also collected watch catalogs as a means to compare the accuracy. That's when I discovered Breitling SA and loved it. I think back in 2003 or 2004, the quality of reps were not as good as today and who would ever thought that they would actually rep a big monster like the Super Avenger. So to La Swiss I went to pick up the gen blue dialed SA and still have it today. Then 3-4 years later, the rep came out followed by the Navitimer World. Tried the rep for the World but I can't get over the sunken datewheel....its the first thing I see everytime. Almost pulled the trigger on gen Legende but decided to franken them instead as its much more fun.
  4. Welcome to RWG. There's a wealth of materials in the board. Look around and searching you may find some reviews too.
  5. Stunning....the complexities are just a mgnet to the eye. Regretting selling my white one...this was before I acquired some ETA 7750. To your question about a high beat movement, it did not come with. However, not sure if an ETA 7750 swap would work with using some of the parts from A7750. If this can be done then you've got a solid Datora for years to come. Wear it well.
  6. The factories have been there a while. Any thoughts on what may have triggered this one? Related to the 'coup' somehow? To raid or not to raid?
  7. I would double check if he is truly an englishman and living in beijing....
  8. Very nice. I did see that black seal on Andrew's site. Agree that he is one of the best one out there. I take it you ordered 2 straps? The second and third pic almost looked like you had on a black stingray strap and I was wow but it wasnt. Gotta have one.
  9. I've spent the last hour in this blog....and entertained, inspired and felt good. Thanks Mike.
  10. Yeah...saw the lume pics and it looks like the lume you get before you deciede to get it relumed. All this v2, v3 and possibly v4....going to wait it out until it settles
  11. Classy, sentimental, gentleman...just some of the words that came up while looking at your collection. Very nice Gran. Nautilus looks nice.
  12. You would probably want to check with a local watchsmith to see what is wrong and cost to fix it. The cost of shipping back to dealer, the wait and the other surprises that you may get may not be worth it.
  13. Thats not a bad looking watch. What site is that from?
  14. Rolex, it s a fake line is too common and people comfortable with you will call it out....even if they dont know what the hell they are talking about.
  15. I just saw the entire series again after a few years. It felt like as if i have never seen it before. Characters are great along with the storyline.
  16. Well if you do get here one just a suggestion to walk through the how-to's on winding, time setting and what not to dos.
  17. I pick 2 - daylight and SA. However, I recently picked up a white Breilting Legende...its such a beautiful watch that it stayed on my wrist for 4 weeks.
  18. Another key piece of information here when selecting your dealer is the after sales service. The 2 noted above are known for that even if you are a newbie. The key is ask as much question as you can for before and after topics. Good luck.
  19. Welcome. There are a few dealers around. Suggest you follow this thread. http://www.rwg.cc/topic/143306-pick-your-dealer-then-the-watch/page__fromsearch__1
  20. I was looking at this one and almost pulled the trigger...the copy is impeccable...except the sunken datewheel of course. Can you check if the button at 10 works?
  21. Depends on how your friend uses his wallet i guess....does he have numerous cards? keeps change in wallet? those are important to know. I for example need to store 7-8 cc and bills only so I went for a credit card wallet. A little big but keeps the cards in their own sleeve and not doubled up. On that note, cc wallets are hard to find....that the only downside. Good luck with the seach.
  22. Wow! You got some mad skills there building your own man accessories cabinet....
