On the debauchery part or the gears? No....you aren't getting any details on the debauchery and no updates on the missing gear showing thru the dial either

Fantastic. It is indeed a watch to fall in love with. I am missing mine.... A member from Oz was visiting Singapore and met up with me. Liked the watch on my wrist so much that he requsted & bought it off me I have another one en-route from Josh now.

Mate....the RB2 is a very well mate watch....don't think there is anything to be disappointed about....hold it in your hand and you will appreciate the detail and the effort gone in to making this. I know the missing gear is a bummer.....but not a show-stopper for me.

I had bought Pho's skeleton watch (super sexy) and then sold it off...nice watch if you can get your hands on it. Another one to consider would be Steinhart Esqueleto (another one that I had bought sometime last year). For really nice ones....contact Touby Cheers

Add in a bit more and get DSN's fiddy with Swiss E movement for $460.

Also the bezel looks completely incorrect.

While it's good to know that a modded PAM could fool most people @ the AD......as some of the other members mentioned.....there really wasn't a need to tell the AD that it was a rep. Do understand that...if reps are this good .....people will prefer buying them over gens....and it directly affects the AD's earnings. The reason probably someone wanted to buy it off you was to show to the manufacturers the quality of reps availble. No harm done here.....but let's be more prudent about this going forward.

Here you go mate.....both of my Grahams on Gunny straps:

The Zigmeister maestro... Pls give me a shout when you are ready to accept some new work. I deaparately news to send a couple of watches for your magic....including the new AP RB.

Oh well.....another opportunity for the rep factories to screw up the lume dots

Mate....I completely agree with you that we need a much more civilized behaviour....which perhaps has to be self goverened by the members here. As for selling something to their favourite/preferred members.....I would say...given the nature of our hobby (not 100% legal) and the recent few scamming incidents.....it is the seller's prerogative to whom he/she might want to sell and being biased in this is as such ok. While on the topic of etiquettes.....another thing that irks me is members sending PMs without any greeting or thanks. I get a fair number of PMs from members and a lot of them are one/two liners asking for info on where I bought a watch or recommendation on something else.....I still take the time to reply to them in a polite way...and very rarely have I seen anyone acknowldge the reply. Oh well.....

Thanks mate....I do own well over 60+ reps @ this time (it's a floating inventory) and would like to belive that the comment about 'being a fool to service all of them at the cost of a full service'.....was not meant to offend and was said in general. Incidently.....I have never ever gotten my watches serviced till date.....doesn't much make sense to spend twice of what a new movement costs (especially for Asian movements)..especially true in my case....where I get bored of a watch after a while and then put it up for sale. I might add that I have been fortunate enought that none of my watches have died on me (if they have ....it's been withing the first few days of getting them....e.g. Ingenieur sec @ 6, Skyland....and I got them replaced by the dealers) It's after reading The Zigmeister's comments about getting a watch serviced is that I decided to get a few watches serviced.....the ones that I think are keepers. I fully agree that the re-sale value of the watch may increase if it's been serviced by a known/acknowledged expert......but that is not my end objective. If I was to ultimately sell the watch....i'd probably won't get it serviced In any case...I am still deciding whether to get the watch serviced by the watchsmith. I definitely plan to send a few to The Zigmeister as and when he starts taking on more work....not only servicing but some killer lume as well. Cheers

I'll take the debauchery part any time

Sounds like a plan mate. Keep us posted.

Thanks guys. I had left the HBB with the watchsmith...he wanted to have a look @ the movement before quoting a rate. Called me today and said the watch is perfect from outside and has a shitty dirty movement (no surprises there ). Then quoted the price. I might just take the plunge and see what it's like. Will keep you guys updated on how it pans out.

Is this is a good price / going market rate for a full servicing of a 7750...I need to get some watches serviced......is what I meant The guy seems to be decent enuff (worked in Rolex Singapore for about 11 odd years and then started his own shop) ....I get some minor work done from him from time to time....for which he has very reasonable prices.

Been thinking of getting some of my watches serviced. Took my HBB to the watchsmith....he quoted Sing$250 (appx. USD 165) for a full servicing of the watch. Is this a good price? How much do our resident experts charge for a full servicing? Thanks for the help. Cheers

Some time back The Zigmeister had made most of his How-to/guide posts invisible.....not sure if this has been put up again.

Lani....the AP RB is a must must get......take my word for it.....its amazing.......light years ahead of a regular AP sec @ 12......both in terms of looks/build quality/attention to detail and wrist presence.

Very nice Lani....looking good on you.
