  1. What a bummer about the DLC! That sounds like something that would be done on a cheaper watch (like one of my DLC'd fossils). I got the blasted finish, which hopefully looks good! I have read similar reviews that the blasted is a last step finish as well.
  2. I love that. I've been waiting on their Tudor homage to come back in stock as well!
  3. I've owned a couple fossils. Honestly hasn't touched my wrist in probably 8 months. Maybe I should put it on for old times sake. In my experience with Fossils, there is always one to two things that I would change. Looks like they almost had this one!
  4. I wanted to share a neat piece I just ordered today: http://www.obrismorgan.com/pradatapage.html I ordered the $289 model with a blasted finishing, black dial, white indices, orange font Watch Case : SUS316L Stainless Steel Bracelet : 4.2mm Thickness 5 links Bracelet Movement : Automatic Calibre - Miyota 9015 Movement Frequency : 28,800 bph (beats per hour) Dial : SuperLuminova Lumed (C1)indices Bezel : 120 Clicks uni-directional bezel Dimensions : Bezel 44mm diameter, Case Body exclude crown guard 43mm, Thickness : Bezel 4.5mm, Case 6mm, Back case 2.2mm Lug width : 22mm Automatic Helium Escape Valve Water Resistance: 30 ATM / 300 meters Crystal : 3.5mm Thickness Sapphire (single side anti-reflective coated) Video review -
  5. If you're happy with it, keep it. If you aren't, talk to your dealer. Either way, wear in good health I love the 116610
  6. Just got in some custom gunny straps.
  7. So beautiful!!! I love DJ's. If anyone doesn't mind, I've been following the work of mymanmatt for a while, and no one has ever said roughly what they paid or put into it. I'd love to hear what his work roughly costs!
  8. Droptopman -- What kind of strap is that? I'm digging it! PS - Showoff
  9. That's a bummer Andrew will probably have you send it back to his watch repair guys to clean it. Takes about a month to CONUS. I just had a similar situation with a crown that fell off. I may look into what it would cost to have someone else take a look at it in a shorter period of time... but that is just me. Best of luck!
  10. Thanks for this post! I absolutely LOVE gen vs rep posts. Mostly because I can hardly notice the little things when looking side by side. So I need to stop being so damn picky
  11. Jack, This is going to sound weird, but you are not the first person I've heard have this issue. I've heard of this happening to probably 3 or 4 other people. Strange. I'd contact one of the watch repair guys in the forum and see what it would cost to send it off. Best, Sam
  12. Live1 got a custom build by zocker (on RWI) FYI. Truly beautiful. Live, could you give a ball park of what the parts cost? You have quite a few Gen parts.
  13. Well, TC makes the 16610, and that is a newer 116610. You can tell because it has the rehault engraved ROLEX all around and the ceramic insert. Basically what I'm saying is that a TC is a different watch although both submariners. You said he paid 4k ... I assume you do not mean USD! If you love the look of a 116610, BK is your man. Either way, I'd source some gen parts: crown & tube, crystal, bezel insert, etc... have someone put it together for you, and you'd be into it $1200 to 2k USD range depending on how fun you want to get ~ less than a fourth what he paid. You're friend is a showoff
  14. Damn Mike, I need to stop falling in love with black watches. 7 out of 10 of mine are black!!
  15. Man, I've never been a fan of the DSSD personally, a wee bit big IMO. But yours looks so nice for what you paid... I may have to source a Franken in a few months. So pretty!
  16. Never taking it off. Ever.
  17. Take some photos of what you're drinking!
  18. This is the perfect explanation of the replica purchase cycle! #4 could not be more spot on. But I have to agree with Mike -- This is more like a few week cycle
  19. Holy smokes I was going to say don't buy watches drunk... But you got a steal! Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
  20. The second is what I like to call a Mickey Mouse watch On a serious note -- My brother in law has very similar huge watches. He pulls them off well. They look good!
  21. I think any dial from a factory would be bad next to that custom build zocker made for you I stared at it for like an hour!!!
