ohh lol.. yeh why not

lol and kurt klaus will go to andrews house with a huge bulldozer

lol ok then.. we dont care.. ..

lol yep i agree.. but dont u think we have to consider customer satisfaction and value as well? see if they do put the price at 300.. coz we're all happy.. we'll buy another thing.. just say maybe aquaracer.. get wat i mean? but yeh.. ur right with saving the time.. but i just dont get why they would mark up so much if it means upsetting customers :\.. when the mark up isnt really necessary (like u said profit will be the same) but market share will go down..

man i cant be effed explaining anymore.. i mean if you people agree with these mark-ups that is so ridiculous then i guess its ok.. all im saying is that i believe if they charge in the $300 area.. HELL lot more ppl are willing to pay and can actually afford it and also imo that in turn would make more profits to them (e.g. like what they're doing with UPO and submariner) i mean those 2 watches dont cost $400.. yet they are best seller.. quality wise UPO = swiss ETA, aquatimer = asian valjoux.. so again.. if you people are happy with the mark-ups then hell.. watever the cartels are doing its working well.. i guess YOU ARE their target market.. for me thats out of my price range.. and like i said im pretty sure theres alot of ppl like me out there..

ohh and actually to add to that.. toyota dominates the car industry... why? coz of this reason.. ppl buy lower priced cars.. so if the rep ppl wants to maximise its profit.. then they should employ toyota's tactics.. yet they choose to promote it mercs way? which is wow im targetting the rich ppl only.. with reps tho?

which they do? did u know that most benz sold are 2nd hand benz? and guess how much they go for? around $25k..

keyword SLIGHTLY correct? but when they start charging ridiculous prices like $400.. thats not slightly higher.. thats ridiculously higher.. lets be honest.. ive heard guys say regardless of watever.. everyone will buy.. but guys like me couldn't afford $400 reps even if i try.. and im pretty sure there are many guys/girls out there that are like me.. so wouldn't it be profitable if they charge $300 and 1000 people buy = $300,000.. instead of $400 and only 500 people buy = $200,000? still a mystery for me.. i guess they don't teach management accounting in CHINA?

hey that looks nice.. i want one.. is it very close to the gen puggy?

hey possibility is always there.. i hope ur right

lol wat a genius.. imma be sending mine to The Zigmeister next month (i cant seem to get a hold of the date/day wheel in australia) to try on ur method.. and ordering from cousins will cost me the same as The Zigmeister.. so yeh.. once i get it (i hope by then i can also get the aquatimer done) THEN ill try to do the same photo

well IT IS a super rep.. theyre making it out of a gen.. so yeh.. and i heard the inner bezel alignment will be better and also the lume is also on the inner bezel (The Zigmeister style) but this is a potential FLAW

pug im afraid i have bad news for u mate .. it just came in from josh and he said the price will be very similar to CD so i am really guessing around $380 or so.. so yeh ..

haha ur fine mate!

puggy did u change the AR into a double AR? because from both your pics I can't see any glass.. it looks like the glass is missing.. and also the PINNIONS looks silver how did u do this?

thank u for that .. its ok then ill wait.. thanks once again

Hi chieftang.. i sent you a pm yesterday regarding doing AR sapphire crystal.. was wondering if you got it yet? if you can answer my question it would be appreciated.. thanks

would this raise the pearl? ohh and from bytor's review i heard the ultimate version has a correct hand now so i dont need to change it to the gen right? and puggy ur right.. a replacement PO is cheaper i cant believe i even thought of getting a gen bezel

ohh ok thats fine.. would the gen bezel fit? im guessing ofrei sells them right?

lol puggy can i borrow it for 2 months till i get bored of it? ..

hey.. both of u with the UPO.. can i ask something.. does ur bezel come like that originally? or you changed it? because your bezel pearl looks very good (very close to the gen) in ur UPO.. where as mine is too recessed (means the pearl is too deep inside the ring).. do you guys know where i can find a replacement bezel? i talked to andrew but he wouldnt replace it :S.. anyway my 3 choices are the same as u pugwash UPO blackbezel/orangenumbers, Steelfish blue dial (both ETA) and also 3717 (going to rob next month)..

yeh im getting these works too in september.. i know that the original lume is only on the 3,6,9,12 markers.. but The Zigmeister if ur reading this.. can u also do the numbers? .. coz i think it'll look much much better if you do em on the numbers as well

BREITLING AVENGER?

agreed.. again i went to the AD stared at it for a LONG TIME.. went in and ask for it (my ex-gf works there) and i asked her if i could compare it.. so yeh... I SWEAR IT WAS BRASS.. wasn't even silver.. it was brass colour :S.. as to the holes.. he's right.. theres no holes on the clasp.. but thats not wat we were arguing about right? we were just talking about the pinions? i mean as for bracelet.. i don't really care.. im changing mine to leather anyway

well ive used cape cod on these kinda thing before.. it was on a daytona bezel.. and yes cape cod removes the black paint from the bezel.. i don't know about gens though.. from wat ive heard from ppl in here.. genuine watch are like PWOAH.. like theyre indestructible so im not sure if it will do the same to gens.. but yeh ive used it on reps before and yes it takes off the paint
