Gran. Still #6 in posts at RWG1. I've come to appreciate TTK a little more. His photography is second to none. His wit is, well, "witty". However, I would never give him any of my hard-earned cash.

Depends on who you hang around. If they're watch fans, they might be able to spot a Navi rep at first glance. My personal opinion is, in the town of 225,000+ that I live in, 99.5% couldn't tell a gen Navi from a rep.

I wouldn't do it. Don't think I'd like the view looking out through the bars.

Why just one pic? Please post more.

Wore this one most of the day:

They have been getting through the Yahoo spam filter.

I think this time will go down as one of the biggest transfers of wealth in U.S. history.

Heard on the news that AAA said July 4th traffic was down only 1% from last year. Consumption has changed very little: Finished Motor Gasoline Consumption (Thousands of Barrels per Day) Current Trend June 8, 2008 - 9,318 May 30, 2008 - 9,301 May 23, 2008 - 9,347 May 16, 2008 - 9,301 Historical Comparison June 1, 2007 - 9,454 June 2, 2006 - 9,329 June 7, 1998 - 8,345

Comparing the price of vehicle fuel in different countries is worthless without discussing taxes. The price of fuel is almost the same (2005 data, but the relative prices will be very similar today) the world over. The U.S. taxes fuel at a rate lower than any other country except maybe Mexico.

Then later, in the spirit of the 4th.

I second, or third, the opinion that the bracelet on this watch is one of the best for Rolex reps. You will see common reps problems

Very nice write-up. I received this watch with 2 straps. The yellow one had the lousy clasp but the black strap had a good one. It does not pop open. Anyone swam with this watch yet? Should be okay as per your tests.

I agree. I dislike the blue replica tint.

I voted earlier but it made me vote for an IHS as well. Mine's running great. +12 seconds in the last week. At the beginning of June Joshua told me he had sold 150 of the CHS watches. We can assume that number is, what, 250? 300? by now? It will be difficult to determine with any degree of accuracy how reliable the movements are. Nevertheless, based on these informal and preliminary poll results, I feel fortunate to have one that is running great (so far). It really is a stunning replica.

Watch has been running w/o a hitch for four weeks. Is about 12 seconds fast in the past week. I also received a replacement bracelet from Joshua Monday. A screw was stripped on the original bracelet. It was the easiest bracelet swap I've ever done. My current favorite!

Both versions have adjustable GMT hands. It's adjusted in the first click position. Turn the crown one way to adjust the date and the other to adjust the GMT hand.

Welcome from Central California. Your $500 will go much further here.

First, I would e-mail Andrew about the problem so you're "on record" with him. GMT movements can be odd this way. Must be the modifications to the movement so it will operate the GMT hand. Usually they behave after a period of time. One of mine had odd quirks like this for 4 or 5 months. Then I picked it up again and it worked fine. Not sure if this has been of any comfort to you. Before you ship it back to China, I would work with it. Try moving the hands through several days of revolutions, then backwards. Slowly, of course.Quite often you can get it working fine this way. Good luck.

I played with all the hands of mine quite a bit after receiving it from Josh. I had a couple of issues that were resolved with rotating the hands through severals days worth of revolutions. It sat on my good winder for 5 days and kept time at -4 seconds per day. I don't "play" with the hands anymore, but I'll use them next time I travel.

Today the GMT-II C: It's been running about +4 sec/day lately and runs great on my good winder.
