the dude from the other forum hasn't replied yet to me.. so i don't know wat he wants.. but as for me.. i want black background (3 o'clock) day and date wheel for IWC 3717.. but can u tell me how much it is first? and also ajoe.. u can send it to me via normal letter which probably cost u $1 for stamp.. put it in like a greetings card or something .. so yeh let me know the price first.. because i might want to get more than 1

lol pls make one for SFSO too

hi yeh.. im gonna have my IWC 3717 AR'd in indonesia (my watch is already with my friend).. however he told me that the shop that are trying to pull the sapphire off told me that they can pull it out but putting it in would be a problem since the crystal is curved.. does anyone have experience with putting back in IWC 3717 crystals?.. and wat do you use usually? thanks very much

pug i dont know man.. i want this to stop as well.. and thats wat ive been trying to convince ppl.. but at the end of it.. ppl attack me back for it.. so i cant do anything about it.. but if more ppl are voicing their opinion and spread it across the different boards.. maybe the newbs can see that these cartels are ripping us off.. the current problem is that the cartels are protected.. once u say something bad about them.. 934290293409234 ppl attacks u.. so yeh

im in on this one.. .. the day ill b on the cartels side is if they really fix up their prices

im 1 i decided to get a vco double ar'd now.. this is taking too long

thanks mate for the reply.. if you dont mind can u pls summarize this silix version story? i'm really really sorry.. but my internet is capped atm (so my speed goes down to 24k... 1/2 of the speed of normal dial up).. so it takes around 10-15 mins to open one page.. if i try to open every single thread about VCOi would be here for days .. so that's why i'm asking for help.. i apologize once again.. but yes.. if you can summarize it for me... about the latest silix version i would really appreciated... ok 1 flaw that i heard is - the AR (which i don't really care) - the date font - the endlinks (not fitted properly) and also the bracelet is loose fitted - the cross are these things fixed in silix' latest version? and wats the flaw on that one? again i apologize

Hi this watch has grown on to me overtime.. and now i feel like i want to buy the swiss eta upgraded version.. i don't know if a review has been done on here b4.. but the thing is that my internet is capped (24k speed).. so ive been trying to use the search button for the last 3 hrs.. and i got no where.. some reviews i could NOT even opened .. stupid slow internet!!! so your help would be really appreciated .... my question is.. what are the flaws of this watch compared to the gen? (are there any flaws like the logo on omega or datefont on tag carrera, etc?).. i would like to know .. and are these flaws fixable? thanks very much

yeah get well soon ken.. we really need u in here

i'm in! how many ppl should we get? coz theres 1 other guy from another board ajoe that wants to join in i think

heheheh good combination! i have blue dial on blue rubber too!! wanna see?

i will definitely not drop out !! ive wanted an AR since you introduced it.. but never got the chance to be in it :S

chrono hands arent really correct either

haha cant wait for the project to finish!! but i dont think once the watch is finished, i wont be able to wear it .. because im a basher when it comes to watches, phones, etc.. so yeh by the time it finished it would look and feel like a $5500, especially if the promised genuine ETA 7750 is really coming (my friend who owns cimier swiss watch, told me that he will send me 1 ETA7750 movement for a gift)... by then yeh.. it would really be too great!!! i think i'll let my gf wear it on a good leather

yep.. i really love the iwc pilot 3717.. it kinda is my favourite watch.. i guess with AR double coat with new datewheel and superlume.. theres nothing else you can do to get it closer to the gen... i've pretty much yet to find another flaw than the fonts, superlume and AR.. and i think it is fully worth it.. $300+$100(dateswap+genlume)+42(AR)=around $500.. to get it visually perfect to a $5500 watch.. i think its worth it dont u think so? heheheh

thats ok.. coz my watch will be with The Zigmeister in september and if chieftang is doing a run than it'll be great i hope The Zigmeister can remove the AR for me

that is really good then i am up for the next run.. my question is though chieftang.. i have a light AR on the inside of the next crystal im doing.. you told us to strip it off.. but you also said that the next run will be single sided and i want to have double sided AR.. so would it be ok if i leave the AR on the inside on.. and you coat the outside? is this possible? thanks

omg vic.. thanks for the reply i was just about to pm u.. about this.. coz i know u know alot about panerais.. yes.. i have been reading that thread 3x already.. but still don't have a single clue about wat its saying LOL.. sorry my stupidity.. but i like the 111 like u said.. but in that thread it says that you need to mod it.. wat kind of mods do i need to do to get it accurate to the gen? to a point where you can't really tell a difference..? thanks vic

Hi I'm not very familiar with panerai watches.. but from pictures wat i've seen.. i can see alot of watches that i like.. but my problem is i don't even know what model is which... and i don't really know where to start... so can someone pls help me on starting? .. which model is the best out of the box? and which is your favourite (and please if you can also list the flaws)? thank you oh yeh and i love the pam187.. does anyone know wat are the flaws in this watch? PS: my friend said that his boss has a $80k panerai watch.. but my understanding is that most panerai watches are in the 5000-20000 price range.. does anyone know wat model is the 80k ones?

yes agreed! give me the girls number first

yeh ppl try to make it as if gen watches are bulletproof.. but reality is its not :\.. my dad has 2 gen rolex and one of them has a misaligned datewheel.. i saw a genuine omega PO last friday at an AD and i noticed that the omega logo is also misaligned (yes the logo on the dial)... i mean these things can happen.. human makes these watch NO? and offcourse human can make mistake and as with the AR.. it says on every site that the aquaracer has AR.. but from pics we've seen.. it doesnt show sign (as it still reflects).. so yeh.. im guessing that the AR is on 1 side.. like our UPO

lol i think we got the same lust!

lol one day u have to show us ola's face ok?

morning.. today its yachtmaster day!

lol NICE! wat a life u got.. beautiful gf and always on holiday
