but i didn't ask for a bezel insert.. he said that the whole bezel needs to be changed? if this is the case, couldn't he just send me a new bezel (with the correct pearl already on it?) :S.. anyway theres no hard feeling or anything.. but yeh i was just hoping before that this was a possibility but meh.. all good..

lol.. no offence to anyone.. but i was once an andrew fan as well.. thinking that no other dealer will provide a great service like him.. but as transactions go by and after trying other dealer.. to be honest his service stinks like crap.. andrew will act like OMG I'LL MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT FOR YOU! but when you really do ask him about something even for something simple he would tell you to send the watch back.. i mean wtf.. for example.. he sent me a [censored]ed up bezel pearl for my UPO.. i posted this subject on the forum and he clearly says "email me and i will make it right for you".. i sent him an email showing pics and all about my [censored]ed up pearl.. and he told me to send it back and he'll replace the bezel with a new one.. i mean WTF MAN? is he that blind that he couldn't see that my pearl was [censored]ed up.. whats the point of me sending it there? at the end of the day he still had to replace it anyway :S and another dealer who i bought my ETA SFSO from, i bought it from him for a MUCH cheaper price than what andrew sells.. anyway.. it came with a scratched dial, so i contacted him and straight away he told me that he'll send me a new dial.. without telling me to send the watch back all i needed to do was show him a pic.. so all this [censored] about andrew and josh is worth more because of their good service is a load of crap because other dealer would give you better service and price.. and again no offence.. but A & J is starting to make me disgusted.. i just hope that other dealers won't follow in their footstep

Gen and Rep Day Date Aquaracer
arminvanbuuren replied to World Traveller's topic in The Tag Heuer Area
lol this is even better than SFSO!.. its scary because the rep is better than the gen (AR coats, etc.) lol -
hi I'm not really familiar with this model but I've always loved all the breitling for bentley models.. and after reading The Zigmeister's review of this movement now I'm thinking of getting the breitling bentley 6.75 big date at 3 secs.. however i couldn't find much review of this watch anywhere except for pics and also how the only flaw stated is the colour of the datefont.. can someone pls tell me what are the flaws of this watch? (if any at all)? thanks very much everyone

hey dude.. don't worry i get the same response too.. infact i display all my reps in my room and sometimes i clean/polish it.. and my dad always peeks in and tell everyone in this house that i have a mental problem.. and it's not a joking kind of way telling everyone that i was crazy.. but in the way where they tell my mum and my sisters sometimes even my gf that I have nothing in life and all I do all day is just reading catalogs and obsessed with watches... i guess some ppl just couldnt understand our hobby.. but hey.. he can say whatever he wants with calling me crazy.. but I'm sure alot of ppl in this board are like me.. and thats wat counts.. you're not alone mate

Comparison of Gen & Rep SuperOcean Steelfish X-Plus
arminvanbuuren replied to alanytical's topic in The Breitling Area
hmm i think this is pics.. i've seen the gen in real life.. infact i've hold it.. the numbering is not rounded or flat (it looks flat in the gen pics because of the lighting) its very similar really.. and with the dial colour also.. in some lighting the gen looks lighter in some lighting the rep does.. i've got it side by side and believe me they're very close colour.. with the engravings of the b.. it was between 11 and 12 too on the gen that i saw.. as for the other things i don't really pay attention so yeh maybe theyre flaws.. but boy who could really pick out "flat top" bezel?.. but really you get the pearl relumed and also the dial relumed.. change to a rubber strap (yes the bracelet on the rep STINKS).. i doubt anyone could tell unless its us (we can also tell from well the spacing of the 15 to the window box, on the rep it nearly touch) -

arminvanbuuren replied to RWG Technical's topic in General Discussion
thats it im getting this watch ... heheh thanks The Zigmeisteryyyy!!! -
yeh why not for steelfish?
-
just about to go to sleep right now.. but this is what i'll be wearing tomorrow have a nice day everyone !!
-
i cant believe it.. the hands alone is worth more than UPO? LOL.. but on a diff note tho.. would a gen dial fit a UPO lite? without swapping to gen hands? gen hands wont fit UPO lite right? :S.. and the bezel fits too?

morning rob.. u got my emails yet? regarding the iwc 3717 .. thanks man -
and how in the world doesnt these ppl get caught by the police? :S.. i mean when you transfer WU.. you need an ID.. which then have your full name and address.. paypal you can get your money back if its a counterfeit items? and i can't see how theyre getting away with the scams.. unless the bidders don't even bother checking it.. but for the buyers that do how can these sellers get away with it? :S

Australian members who want ETA 7750 date wheels
arminvanbuuren replied to ajoesmith's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
i think its a rough price for a set (day and date).. as each one costs around $12? plus shipping and everything.. but since u only want it for tag carrera right? i think u only need a date wheel alone (probably around $17) to u? :S -

arminvanbuuren replied to ajoesmith's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
so wats the deal? -
hmm ur talking about the stop watch right? well i think the bottom counter is the hours and the top counter is the 30 min counter and i think every 2 rotation in this dial and the hours counter moves 1.. as to the date font.. it is off.. especially the "8" check it out
-
if by any chance i miss this run.. will u be doing another one after this? ouft.. i hate this timing stuff.. before i thought i could never get AR from here anymore coz chieftang isnt doing it.. so i had to take it all the way to indonesia.. now this is available my crystal is overseas :S GRRRR!!!!
-
ok can i book in 1 spot for 1 crystal.. but k2222 because my watch is in indonesia with my friend (trying to get it AR'd there) but i don't think he can do it.. so my watch will be back on the 7th.. but yeh i'm still waiting for his answer whether he can do it or not. if not then i would like to book a place.. so is that ok.. if i just have a pending spot in this (ill give u an answer within 2-3 days or so) thanks man
-
so how much does it cost for each crystal?
-
well they're charging me $10/side for the AR.. but theyre doing the coat in a different place then the watchmaker.. but yeh.. i don't live in indonesia.. my friend is from there.. so i left my watch with him.. and hes coming in 7 days.. i don't know yet if i will risk it.. if they couldnt put the crystal back on :S
