  1. Seeing as how the rest of the lume dots are quite acceptable.. I'd be reluctant to ask for another sample.. Unlike a lot of the normal V2 and (especially)V3 skylands, the blacksteel version tends to have more misaligned lume dots (at least in my opinion). If you only have one lume dot slightly off.. I'd live with it. I have about 3 dots, but honestly barely notice them unless I'm really looking. If you eventually plan on getting a relume.. the dots can be adjusted perfectly anyways
  2. You won't be disappointed the 111M looks amazing
  3. no one else identify any other reps here? Not sure about the TAG.. I LOVE IT, but am not versed in Tag-ology
  4. RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH... The dial you're talking about with the "space between the glowback" is called a SANDWICH dial... Depending on the SERIES letter a 111 can have a sandwich dial or a SAUSAGE dial(numbers painted directly onto the dial). If you want the best 111 with sandwich dial go for the newer 111J or the 111M that just came out in the last few months. The H-series has lest correct case shape and worse crown gaurd. The term "franken of modded" i'm not quite sure I get what you mean. As no replica out of the box is "franken".
  5. Mastrmind... you speak nothing but the truth! agreed
  6. not sure if it was a rep or not.. but the bracelet certainly did look a little fishy.. with those wings being stamped and not engraved
  7. Not sure If there's any members with a GEN 176 as well as a rep... I wouldn't doubt it, The possibility that there's a member out there that has both doesn't necessarily mean there's been a side by side comparison done... But I'm not sure Good luck
  8. What you're not noticing is the small amount of rodico on the Balancing wheel... keeping the movement from running GREAT attention to detail.. seriously!
  9. wow.. great looking pearl.. when did they start correcting the pearl on the V5s!? or is this the V6???? I'm out of the loop!
  10. Your Royal Oak Chrono- Biggest flaw.. Your subdials are located at 6,9 and 12.. This configuration is not available on Royal Oak Chronos.. Only on Royal Oak Offshore Chronos. Genuines Royal Oak Chronos are a smallish 40mm. Yours is larger. Royal Oak Chrono design in a Royal Oak Offshore size case. Your PAM127 suffers from crystal distortion on the outer edges.. (Gen has less distortion).. and your CG has the famous rep Pin "dimple". Genuine cg pin is flush with the rest of the crown gaurd
  11. Great piece!! Obviously one my and Jkay's favorites Clean it up a bit with a microfiber cloth and it should be sparkling.. a trick with the bracelet is to spray some WD-40 on it.. (take the watch head off).. get it nice and soaked an you'll be surpirsed at some of the grime that comes off from between the cracks.. let it soak a bit.. then wipe it dry... Once it's dry, put a little dish soap (a VERY little) directly on the bracelet to get the oil off the surface of the bracelet, rinse it under a slow faucet and it will be sparkling clean and the bracelet will be silky smooth from the lubrication For some cleaner photos, you could try taking some near a light source.. (windows are great on a sunny day!) and without the flash... Your photos will come out with less glare and more clarity Congrats on the purchase Rep Master!
  12. I can help, but where would the item be shipped. Could the item still be addressed to you?
  13. Welcome Jamdot! Remember, crawl, walk, run. I know you're not new to watches.. but the rep game is quite a game to get into (and a complicated one at that). Start researching and get the knowledge base down before jumping on the watches... especially if you plan to be here for a while
  14. Go for the UPO.. you won't be disappointed.. the UPO is a much more universal watch
  15. welcome aboard bro. Glad to have you
  16. Thanks for all the kind words fellas... Seriously though.. Seems like over the last 4 years I've always had VIP or Platinum status.. never had to deal with Flood Control soo much before! blahhhhhh!
  17. No no.. I didn't lose my job.. I'm currently finishing up my master's degree. Studying at night and teaching during the day. I'm looking for a career change as soon as my program ends! Thanks Zeleni
  18. The new AP diver looks amazing... I would go for that or a PAM 177M before a UPO or SA.. but then again... I already have a UPO and an SA!!!
