  1. There's 192 countries in the world... 30,000 members... There's bound to be a korean somewhere KB!!!
  2. Take your watch off at work? Where do you usually place it after you take it off? On your desk? Do you have a private office, or a cubicle? or hot desk set up? damn.. this is just sad
  3. We certainly do have members! HomeCD is from South Korea and at least 3 or 4 other members
  4. is this your construction or one of the new quartz models?????? Looks great tee-jay!
  5. It's also about flyability.... Wanna know what plane has the worse crash record in U.S. Airforce History?? You guessed it. The f-22. Funding has already been cut for further production of the F-22 anyways. The military realized it was a mistake, and the design flaws are horendous considering its ridiculous cost.
  6. This is a huge point. Buying a replica watch is NOTHING like buying a car. When you buy a car, you also have a warranty. If something goes wrong, you can take it back to the dealer, if you're out of warranty they will still fix it, even if for a fee. If your watch stops in a 3 months, you have no warranty, and you can't walk into your nearest rolex dealer to have them fix it, since it is, in fact, an illegal replica. It's easy to say this is hard, when you haven't read anything. It doesn't take a watch mechanic to make the simple decision you're making. I'm by no means a gear head like some of the others here, and I sympathize with you about getting a nice watch for a decent price that looks good on the wrist. I'm in for the same reason. But I've also signed a social contract by becoming part of the "rep game". It's your responsibility to inform yourself about what you're purchasing and from who. If the watch turns out to be a dud, (which in all likelyhood can pass), there are norms and procedures for correcting the problem, but it's not as simple as going to your local mechanic and getting it fixed. Secondly, please take the dealers advice with a grain of salt. They do provide us with high-quality replicas, but they DO NOT PROVIDE US with knowledgeable advice as far as maintenance, servicing, etc is concerned. It's not their job. Their job is to sell you a watch. Hopefully the watch will work well for you, but by no-means are there any guarantees in an illegal trade. The dealer could care less if your watch only last six months. Even if he might express differently in an email. The forum is here for that kind of stuff. Unfortunately I don't feel flattered that you'd take my word for something and spend $400 on a rep. I could care less, and as you said, I have more important things to worry about in my life, than whether or not someone else is spending their own money on a watch. The important thing is that you evaluate the information like any other consumer and use the information that you're given to make an informed decision, if you do that, then WELCOME TO THE CLUB Lastly, you have no business reading about how to service a movement if you don't even have a watch. The noobguide is designed in STEPS, and as far as I'm concerned, the only thing you need to be reading is in Steps 1 and 2 of the guide There's an entire dealer section here. Find your dealer. Look at some dealer reviews and be on your way. No reason for this to get drawn out. Buy your watch from Josh www.1-pc8838.com or Andrew at www.trustywatchguy.com/ (they're partners). I just made it easy for you. If you're into breitlings maybe a nice Skyland Avenger Grey V3 would be nice for you. The blue version isn't as accurate to gen, but a black or gray version is very accurate as far as coloring is concerned. Any other questions.. seriously, don't hesitate, but the I don't have time to do for myself, what you guys are doing for ME.. just sounds annoying. Patience, understanding and common courtesy really gets you a lot farther on this forum.
  7. haha.. Gas filled by jeweller??
  8. ufff.. worse fighter jet ever flown by the United States..
  9. Can't be regulated? Why can't it be regulated?
  10. come on man.. a little googe search is all you need: http://kpn.koreapost.go.kr/eng/sub/EMS_Search.jsp?contId=e1020600 put in your tracking number and it should show up
  11. No worries BGgodwin. There's no dumb questions.. just dumb people! haha. Don't hesitate to shout me a holler for any questions you might have, as I'm sure lots of the info is overwhelming! Take your time and don't hesitate to ask a question or two when the search function has failed! Cheers. -Fender
  12. I almost feel sorry for you Dombehsman.. I would've railed you myself, but looks like all the other beat you to it. There's a whole section on this forum, RWI and REPGEEK dedicated to trusted dealers. Almost any of them will all be able to get you the same watch, and they're all "Trusted" Secondly. You're VERY mistaken if you think that ANY of these dealers are "MAKING" a watch for you. Your best bet is to take 10 minutes and read our specially designed "NOOB Guide" written by Toad for people like yourself. Do us a favor, and try not to insult us, with comments like "I just don't have time to research, someone tell me where i can get the best breitling" With the amount of time and dedication many of us have devoted to the forum, it's a slap in the face to hear someone like you say you can't spend 30 minutes reading up on some of our reviews that might have taken us HOURS to complete. So apart from doing reviews, you're telling us that you don't even have enough time to read our reviews in detail and that in addition to the reviews you want us to spoon feed you watered down information from our reveiws so that you don't have to do it yourself?? Blah... In any case, don't be too hard on yourself.. we've been hard enough! You'll get the hang of it, but please before posting anymore PLEASE READ. Buying a rep watch is not like walking into a store and buying a gallon of milk. The first thing you have to realize is that this is an illicit hobby. As such, the factories that these watches come from are run illegally. That translates into good prices for us, but poor quality control by the part of the factories. Watches can come with defects etc, so you should be prepared for a problem like this. If you're watch comes with a short power reserve.. you should halfway expect it. Do your research and prepare yourself for your first buy. If you get a watch, especially a chronograph, you should probably get it serviced if it's a watch you plan to keep. These are extra costs that all of us Veterans know about. Good luck in your search.
  13. +100 Good response mike. I hate hearing stories of.. "I didn't mention it on the forum.." or "I was afraid to mention it to the dealer"... Exactly what this forum is designed for. We as a community can really hold dealers accountable
  14. you're exactly right. A great place for lots of info and friendly folks!
  15. Trevor.. any update on your website? can't seem to get access...
