Save your money. Get a monster. Look for a used one. They're under $200, and truthfully can't really be beat by anything under that price.

Wow! That's awesome! Was it hard to learn the brass plating technique?

Ebay will have it. Or tandy leather.

Have you gotten it in yet?

wow! That's beautiful. Do you like that one better than the one with the black bezel?

Make your own receipt with some receipt paper from a calculator and a laser printer. Change the margins to fit the paper, and use a real stores name. Just change the price.

Print a few practice copies on regular paper. Then tape the receipt where it's printing on the page.

Hi. I'm looking for a datejust1 or tudor oyster date rep. Does anyone know which dealer could get them?
