  1. This watch keep in mind was the new quality inspected piece after the intial batch was rejected by the dealer because of QC issues. I had to wait a month to get the watch you are looking at. How would you react?

    :lol:

    Silix.

    I've been told that on EVERY order. :lol:

    He/she told me that on a SS Daytona, then sent me one with a "running-hours-at-nine" dial and gouged crown guards:

    Plus, look at the "3" on the dial:

    (Already deleted the crown guard pics.)

    I sent the "QC'ed" watch back and they did send me a new one, a different Daytona.

    But the replacement was the wrong one! :lol:

    I have to laugh every time someone posts that Silix told them the first watch didn't pass QC. Used to make me feel good, like they were actually checking the watches.

    Until I got the Daytona.

    It was a shame. The 1st seconds-at-nine Daytona I got from Silix is one of the best made replicas I own. Different "factory," I guess.

  2. Ah, thank you gents... it was a GREAT birthday!

    I got my beloved vintage Guild's frets replaced (finally)

    I got to have lunch with my son the Eagle Scout

    My daughter gave me an iPhone

    IT SNOWED THREE FEET TODAY!!!!!!!!! :tu:

    It just doesn't get any better than that!

    That's good for a birthday, or any other day.

    I got to spend Sat. with my Eagle Scout and my soon-to-be Eagle in Monterey:

    A couple of clowns, but good guys.

  3. Gen Breitling brown calf strap.....makes all the difference,Doc....will look great and not that expensive..... B)

    I forgot you are a rich doctor,grab a gen brown croco,moneybags..... :p

    Croc straps are at the top of my list. Seen some gorgeous ones for not that much change.

    You want to walk the fine line between dressy and casual. A watch this size shouldn't have a shiny strap. It would look tacky. A matte croc or alligator.

  4. Newest addition to the collection.

    A fantastic replica!

    The rep strap is passable until I find a suitable replacement.

    Great power reserve: about 2 days.

    Starts up with a few gentle shakes.

    See the light-blue AR? Nice.

    "Bling" for guys that are afraid of real bling.

    Bought it from Sead for $330. Then I see Lawrence has it for under $300. Oh well.
