  1. Honestly I have seen 10 buck digitals I like better than that Breitling. Ken
  2. TeeJay can you ask whoever it is to contact admin or one of the Co-Admins directly so they can look into this? Ken
  3. TeeJay put a WTB in the sales section, another member might sell it to you. Ken
  4. I'm afraid you will have to pay the return postage. Ken
  5. Ten in the photo plus the one taking the shot.....that's a very good turn out. Glad to see a great time was had by all. Ken
  6. Ok I'm late to this but my thoughts.... Digital did in fact sweep the floor of the mechanical age, I don't know where to find the figures but I'm sure if someone could come up with them they will see mechanical watches are very much a minority of todays watch sales around the world. Next point to remember is that our hobby is not just mechanical watches but high end watches and they will be around forever, does anyone truly believe they will see the day when they walk into an exclusive country club and see everyone talking to their wrist's? The mp3 watch was supposed to be something special but already are becoming another kids toy and so too will any new innovative digital watch, once sales start rocking the prices will come down and everyone will have them, the whole point of luxury items are their exclusivity and for this one will always need to go to the Swiss watch makers. At the end of the day most will be more interested in video conferencing on the mobile phones than watches anyway due to the larger screen size. Ken
  7. I'm not an expert on Pam's but I believe Radiomir's should have wires instead of lugs. Ken
  8. Ha the Kiwi's will still have to swim to Australia Or is that Austrochina? Ken
  9. Make no mistake China (the whole vast country) is no officially closed. All your rep makers, money collection people, delivery boys and even office sweeps have all crammed onto trains and gone to their families homes in the country. Most will be back at work on the 3rd. of Feb some later. Ken
  10. Yes you are obliged to make a min order of $100 this is why there is no charge for shipping amongst other things. Ken
  11. Well the main problem here is that it is your equation and not based on fact. I said way back when all this was just kicking off before he took on McCain, before the Obama/Clinton tussle even before Barack threw his hat into the ring that Obama was the man. He had the right mind set, the right idealism and the Charisma to take America by storm, I actually felt he had a lot in common with JFK, maybe not the same politic's but in the ability to steer the American dream/s ken
  12. I have a number of friends and my daughters singing teacher from Mauritius but it's going to take a little time to find out the info you need. How much of a hurry are you in? Ken
  13. Um...Hello...why not try your very own on board dealers first? Ken
  14. Agree on recased but I am still struck by the age of the movement. Ken
  15. sorry please ignore the above post and look to your on board dealers first. Ken
  16. Ok been doing a bit of searching around and although the dial layout is very similar to a vintage Patrimony I think the size, hands and movement suggests that it is indeed a converted pocket watch. However this is not a bad thing as VC pocket watches range from about $3000 to way up. I have been looking at vintage VC movements and the further you go back the more they resemble the movement in the watch you show. Now this is where I go way in over my head, I'm guessing the movement in that watch to be somewhere in the middle 1800's Definitely worth taking to an AD for checking out. Ken PS I think it's a minute repeater pocket watch
  17. Well tell him not to take it in for a service. Ken
  18. No, not totally scam, many sellers there would be honest hard working Chinese trying to make a living. The problem is that there would also be many trying to make a killing. Ken
  19. As luck would have it you have landed right smack bang in the center of Rep heaven, however as my friends above have mentioned you need to start doing a fair bit of reading to acquaint yourself with what you have found. Welcome to RWG Ken
  20. That is as long as the people Chris has working for him in Thailand are not in fact Chinese. Ken
  21. Ok so lets put Bond in a JLC Reverso or an AP ROO.................c'mon guys it's a game Danny Archer...who cares..ok he can have a PO Indianna Jones....I'm going for a Rolex explorer...what else? Neo...it's got to be digital....Omega X3, about the only digital I can name. Vic Mackey....what's this boofhead doing in a Cartier in the first place? ......AP T3 or Pam Slytech Ken
  22. A stunning watch Shundi and a great review. I do feel for JAG having to sell off all his beauties but it must give him some peace of mind to know they have gone to quality members. Ken
  23. Look at the name of the supplier in your link....then find another one and you will see a different supplier name. And yes pic's of gen's are common. Ken
  24. Tradetang do not have the Pam, they are a wholesale portal for Chinese dealers. One of the hundreds or even thousands of sellers listed there is selling the Pam, your job with be to find out if they are honest or not, I have been down this road a long time ago and i can assure you there are many bumps along the way. Another point to consider is that Tradetang wont guarantee any sales made through their board. Ken
