  1. Toro matey, great service too. Very quick delivery to the UK for $35. I would recommend Toro
  2. Sorry but this image made me chuckle. I think i've been lucky with my few reps. I think i'm gonna stick to EU forum members for future buys. My last package got seized and released and was not packaged up properly after they opened it. In fact all of the bubble wrap was discarded and the watches were loose in baggies. Luckily no damage
  3. It's amazing what you can do via email with google translate. I've used it loads for work and although it may not be perfect it definitely gets communication going http://translate.google.com/m/translate Not much good for telephone conversations though.
  4. Yes the blue dial would appeal. It would be different as you say and tie in with the diving theme. I see the 12 markers too, I think I would go insane with that. Still seems the way to go with myota but watch for these issues,
  5. Epic achievement that's mental! I've ran elvington myself but safely on 4 wide tyres! Very well done indeed
  6. I've waited since the 2nd for a m2m watch from Germany and it's still not left Germany according to DHL tracking. This timescale is taking the p155 let alone the timescales sending to china. I agree that the reps we buy are bloody expensive and shouldn't be pot luck. If they cost £20 you could expect it but not at £300, they should work at least
  7. Oh my god. After walking away twice I have finally resized the bracelet. The bracelet itself is sweet it's the pins. They are made out of some sort of soft cheese alloy and are indeed a pig to work with. If you grip them tight to pull out they flatten and bend. Use a pin pusher and wd40 plus mole grips but don't grip them too tight. A shame for a $300 watch I'm sure some will get trashed in the process. Anyway it's been worth the aggro. Great watch. Love how flashy it looks on the wrist. Sort the garbage pins out though noob! The worst watch I've ever had to resize by a big margin.
  8. You obviously have a trustworthy face. (Which surprises me for a fellow united follower)
  9. I love the green NATO watch. very unusual. Awesome collection!
  10. Similar to auto detailing clay. Great idea
  11. I have a box with cushions and they were loose. I tried a few things but foam or bubble wrap that runs under each cushion and up the sides works great. You can't see the strip if you cut it right, two pads doesn't work too well so one strip that goes down one side, under the watch bracelet and up the other side, I would show a pic but the wife is in bed and I don't want a black eye REAL nice box by the way!!
  12. Numbers on the bezel look good to me. I've seen them joined up before I think these look great
  13. Looks great to me. Super critical points. Date looks a bit low and pic 4 and 7 it looks like the rubber strap is splitting a bit? I'd be more concerned with the strap if I'm reading the pics right. It could be a seam/ join though...
  14. Hour markers are wonky, date wheel is ok. I wouldn't wear an iced out rolex rep personally but this looks presentable. If you are pulling good money why not get a gen?
  15. 205 gti. Handles like a housefly and goes like a scalded cat. Supercool little cars from the 1980s Cheap too but prices are rising.
  16. Myota keeps coming up in my research. I went for the v6 which is J(something) and it is magnificent. They myota sounds like a good plan. I will wait till payday to buy this beauty
  17. Thanks buddy, it's a stunning piece. Modern successor to the sub? Who know but they are bloody gorgeous. I'm a fly fisher also. Mainly in Scotland ;-)
  18. Since my v6 diver I've decided that I love AP. I know bp is a good one but what 15400 APs do you guys have? Needs to be all stainless with black dial. Any opinions on current offerings chaps?
  19. Well when my ten box is full I'm stopping. I think tens enough.... Or is it.... :-S
  20. I just don't know if I would spend that sort of dough on a watch even if I had the cash, I've collected 9 reps (2 of which are in transit) for the price of a middle of the road used planet ocean. I'd much rather have my reps. Quantity over quality? There ain't much in it to me when it comes to look and finish. I was at a rolex ad (just window shopping). The 3 people I was with were wearing two gens and a rep datejust and even from display distance they were all the same. If I was rich I'd blow the $10,000 on a jet ski or some shares I recon!
  21. Bang on Gentle! The greatest minds think the same
