508-Fanatic

That sounds like a good idea except for all the bodily fluids that would be on it... ;-)

I am pretty sure they had an article on this @Hodinkee where Rolex and many experts could not verify the authenticity of this RCO and Maron still snatched it up...because....Maron.

I'd go a different route, but to each is own.

I find them offensive. Cavi, look at the discrepancies between their "retail" and what they are selling for... Come one man, it's like going into a Maserati dealership and haggling them down to a Camry price.. $1400 then down to $150?? w.t.f. The watches you find in the bins at those stores are either returns, seconds or last years model, or something they're just trying to move so it doesn't get crushed for a write-off loss. I'm not really here to buy "over-the-counter" stock reps. The ones I've tried from TD's didn't really do it for me, much like an Invicta REALLY wouldn't do it for me. If you want to suggest my opinion is unfounded, that's fine, after all it's just my opinion. You will find people that love all kinds of useless junk, and people who will decry it. Here are some reasons why I find them offensive: http://www.amazon.com/Invicta-6981-Collection-Chronograph-Polyurethane/dp/B003MYYJD0/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1440096937&sr=1-1&keywords=invicta+watches+for+men http://www.amazon.com/Invicta-17466-Reserve-Chrono-Polyurethane/dp/B00XLUAUQA/ref=sr_1_22?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1440096937&sr=1-22&keywords=invicta+watches+for+men http://www.amazon.com/Invicta-1090-Gold-Tone-Stainless-Skeleton/dp/B004V96OKQ/ref=sr_1_34?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1440096937&sr=1-34&keywords=invicta+watches+for+men $1,395 retail, but it can be yours for $150 if you have utterly ZERO taste. They are big, clunky "fashion" watches and if you are telling me they're well made, I have a bridge to sell you. Perhaps it's a difference of style opinion, but the people I see wearing these things around downtown I wouldn't hangout with... Of course some of them keep decent time, it's a Quartz. The only one that is even remotely passable, is their sub-homage: the least offensive watch they make: http://www.amazon.com/Invicta-8926OB-Stainless-Automatic-Bracelet/dp/B000JQFX1G/ref=sr_1_8?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1440096937&sr=1-8&keywords=invicta+watches+for+men

I genuinely hate them. This is my humble personal opinion but they represent all that is wrong. Big retail price, marked down to fool folks into believing "it's a deal!" when they are paying perhaps 2x what they should for ugly bling fashion pieces with sub-par quality. Truly awful.

This is why I am here. Cheers to the mods ever strong diligence and acumen!! long live an honest safe RWG!

Highly modded 1016 picked up from Droptop - beautiful watch - added genuine OEM caseback sticker today love it.

I've been trying to source out the #'s... like 66.00.00143 or whatever the f but in my research I haven't found anything that's conclusive for 1966 and the #'s can be misleading.

my brother has a typewriter so I can fill in necessary stuff.

Really genuinely pleased with what came in the mail today!!!! With a proper vintage box this really will be something special.

At the risk of being told to do, yet more reading, believe me I have looked - can anyone identify the *right* case for a '66 Submariner?

They are glorious! Love my 5513 PCG. Where can I get one of those period specific boxes?

I'm speechless.... That is a watch you could sell to John Mayer for $200k

If it looks like a trap and smells like a trap... Maybe someone can express to/impress upon them the size of our community and that playing ball with us, alleviating fear, would bring them lots of $$$$ If you can get past the langauge barrier. Now thinking about it I believe some of these to be either Trade-Show or Baselworld pics

Way too big, no offense. The lugs shouldn't go out over your wrist.

I too am seeking a gen red insert, and a gen crown. Alberto.86 had some in the past - but has not responded

I agree... I'm tempted to order one just to see but can't gamble away another $400 right now... Just did on raffle. If I win the raffle, I'll order one and report my findings.

Great data compilation! Love the % of income, that really helps it hit home. There's a lot of people out there that will tell you that Rolex is just "responding appropriately to market demand and inflation" but I think there's something deeper there...something that is completely out of whack.

I plan on doing a 1016 build - I have the vintage case-back stickers on their way from Germany! First piece!

omfg... DO WANT. I'll PM you.

That is really stunning, can you tell me more?

Hah! Love it, call him right out.

Guys, it says Audemars Piguet on it. Clearly it's genuine.

Been there, done that, sucks.. I empathize.
