Nice combo Pug. I don't think Bob has it with orange stitching in 20mm. Is your Calf?

I got a 42mm PO a long time ago from Andrew and I also got the leather strap with the orange stitching. It's a bit cheap and flimsy, besides the fact that the gen strap is actually rubber not leather. So has anyone seen or sourced a good rep strap that is close to the gen?

Beautiful!! I want one!!! How much was it? Link?

Hey D, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. People always refer to our shih tzu as our first born and can only imagine the suffering you are dealing with. I hope you can forgive your wife. I'm sure she is suffering and hurting too. (not to mention guilt ridden) I wish you all the best during this time of grief. -spence

From what I've read, Ceremic is very hard (just under diamond) so is scratch proof. The polished ceremic is supposed to be very stunning.

This is a tough choice between two excellent replicas. The obvious choice is to get both! If no then consider: Ingy biggest flaw is the date font. You must get this upgraded (check Lello). Otherwise it is perfect. It is also quite thick and hefty. For me, it falls in my casual/daily wearer category. Sturdy and understated. The VCO's biggest issue as mentioned is the bracelet screws. I've had this issue in every VCO i've seen. Other variations revolve around the date window shape and the accent over the word Geneve (or lack of). These minor issues hardly retract from the beauty and elegence of this watch. It has a much thinner profile than the ingy, and could be considered a dress watch. The bracelet, despite it's screw issue, is much more interesting than the ingy. You really can't go wrong with either. Throw in the MBK Nautilus and you're really screwed!

I'm in: a little collage for ya

So there is a lot of talk about shaving down the indices/markers on a 3717. What does this refer to? Are they too tall? Too wide? To long? Is there a reference to compare the gen vs rep? I want to ask my watchmaker to do this for me but a reference would help.

Owdeguy, Where did you get your bezel from ? ofrei? pics!!

Same guy is selling a fake Comex advertised with an asian 21j mvmt for $1700??? item 160261655121

I was of the same mind, but my MBTW finally made it on the last cheiftang run, so I'll post pics when I get it back. By the way, though probably not a problem for you lanikai, but I had to take it to a watchmaker to get the bezel and crystal off. You can't to it by removing the back, since you can't easily get the dial off (just look at the size of the dial vs size of the caseback) you have to take the bezel off the front.

I love this thread. A wristy of my gen link chrono Something about the bezel angle or thickness is off with the reps.

Cartier Seatimer is another.

Thats not good photography by me, that's great AR service from Cheiftang! BTW, thats a V2 dial in a V1 case.
