  1. All is normal. He sends a invoice to the email address associated with your PayPal account. You go to your PayPal account and pay the invoice. It's the best way to do it because it doesn't allow you to put something stupid like "fake watch" in the note field. Hopefully your watch will not go through the Dallas customs office. I hear very bad things about that customs office.
  2. I think the only difference is the fatter hands on the 2005 version, no? I've not seen any with the fat hands. Your best bet is to email a dealer and ask.
  3. It is that easy. Or just have them send it right to your house and then refuse to pay. A lot of hassle just for revenge, though.
  4. Working half-a-day: Later: Or: Haven't made my mind up yet.
  5. Nope. I just push it one way or the other with the tip of the screwdriver. Towards the outer edge of the case for faster, inward for slower.
  6. All I have is Microsoft Paint and I don't know how to put an arrowhead on the line: The bottom of the red line is the adjusting arm.
  7. I have a BBK SS. The crown is a little wobbly but it doesn't seem to be as bad as yours. I don't know how to fix watches but this is what I do with mine. If the crown doesn't start threading when I push it in, it usually will if I wind it backwards a tad bit. Manually winding this and any 7750 is always easier if the time is set between 6:00 and 9:00. I go slow, of course. Also, if the gears seem to catch while winding I'll pull the crown out a tiny bit and it always winds much better. I've been able to regulate the time on mine. It was running a minute slow, now it's about 15 seconds off. Lots of guys have complained about the wobbly crown, though.
  8. I had one that, when I sold it, would barely screw down. It's a very common problem but can be inexpensively fixed if you can go your own work (I can't).
  9. Welcome nemeo! Got any watches?
  10. It took me 30+ minutes to get that sucker adjusted. You have to use a very thin jewelers screwdriver. It's a stout spring pin so you've got to get the tip of the screwdriver through the tiny hole to depress the end of the spring pin. It's a bugger.
  11. Send that picture to Josh and see if he can get it or have it made for you.
  12. I bought this about 3 years ago for $1,050, before I found the replicas boards. "James" of Best Swiss came on RWG1 and RWGjr last year in an attempt to drum up some business, I assume. He claims the watches he sold were "Taiwan Best" models, the type of watches that Eddie Lee and River used to sell. I don't know if he was telling the truth or not (as everything on his web site is a lie--904L, 27J, solid gold, genuine Rolex dials, etc.--it's not likely) but this watch is one of the best made replicas I own. I had it sized at the AD and they were either being polite or thought it was a gen as they simply sized it for me for free and handed it back with a compliment. (I think they were being polite.) I ordered it with the "new" mother-of-pearl dial and "Moissanite" synthetic diamonds . What a sucker I was. I wasn't able to capture the MOP color. Rats. Here's the end-link. Not all gold but it gives you an idea of how thick the plating is: Wristy: A stunning watch, IMO, one that used to get a lot of wrist time way back when, before I had so many nice watches to choose from. I think this watch, or at least one very close to it, can be purchased for about $278 from Josh. I do not recommend buying from Best Swiss as James is a liar and gouges his customers.
  13. It was discussed in this thread: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=88453
  14. You can get all of those from Eurotimez. I don't think Eurotimez manufacture anything. They just assemble. (Not 100% sure but I don't see why that matters.)
  15. I think he was telling his dog to fetch the paper. Poor pooch.
  16. No doubt. When I ordered it I thought I would be selling it shortly after receiving it. I just wanted to see it. That's also why I bought the 21J version. Easy to sell later. I wasn't complaining, thus the .
  17. Daytona4Me on RWI. "Group buy." I posted a mini review that got all of 44 views. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=88619
  18. Works for me. I've got mine ordered. Such a sacrifice to do this in Paradise! Thanks for the work!
