  1. ok.. im buying this next month for sure.. man.. im waiting for the bracelet version too
  2. hi i tried searching on the post for how to resize the bracelet of UPO.. but i cant find anything on it.. just that everyone has been saying that it's really really hard!.. but im guessing this is a split pin bracelet? and i was meant to push the pin to the directions of where the arrows tells me to? isnt this right?.. well i tried and for some reason it wouldnt come out :\.. but then i didnt put much force at all because im scared of scratching the bracelet..! so i took it to the watch repair place.. and they wanna charge me $10 for resizing :S which is too expensive and the fact that they probably use the same method as wat i did.. and they'll scratch the bracelet :S.. is there anyone that can teach me how to resize the bracelet?
  3. i guess.. but what i dont get is.. the quality of the super reps arent even that much better from last yr.. i mean movement is the same material is the same.. AR is the same.. why do they have to mark up so much? i just dont think that if it goes above 400.. i can afford reps anymore.. which is a dissapointment because i love reps.. i love watches.. and yeh.. meh
  4. 380-400 is crazy.. i mean this is kind of making me sick now.. that the newer watches coming out are in the areas of 400$.. i mean SUPER reps usually costs in the 300 region last yr and now it increases by 100? and wat i dont get is why ppl are still on the cartels side.. :S.. wats gonna happen next yr? it'll increase to 500? then 600? then it'll be the same price of the gen? :S
  5. reg u took it right out of my mouth i was gonna say wouldnt cape cod take the gold off?
  6. like the others have said.. dont worry mate the watch will come.. just hope that customs doesnt do anything to ur package and when it arrives.. everything works perfectly.. no broken movement or broken dial or scratches or watever
  7. shower yes, rain yes, sex yes, swimming not yet.. and mine is the UPO from andrew
  8. omg this is getting on my nerves now!!! i swear the postman came today and no one was home.. so they left a card saying that theyre gonna left the package at erindale post office :\.. but then i called the australian post office and told em that where is erindale post office and they said they couldn't find where erindale post office is :\.. so now theyre gonna do an investigation on the package.. this is really pissing me off.. i hope they dont open the package :\
  9. uhuh! but them money transfer thing is a ripoff.. id rather pay rwg $50 via paypal then only pay $20 and $35 for them rip off artist.. get wat i mean? :S... is there anyway to transfer money without too much cost of transfering (WU is $35 and theres no moneybookers in AUS).. so i have to wait for my paypal to confirm :S
  10. hi i would like to help.. but im still waiting for confirmations from paypal (just made the account today).. apparently they have to confirm it with the bank first... so is that ok if i donate next week? because they told me it takes 3-5 days to confirm.. and another 3-5 days to transfer money :?S
  11. dammit that reminds me.. if i marry her that means i have to go through "Dad, I want a pony." but don't worry ill teach her to say "Dad, don't worry about the UPO, just buy yourself a UPO"... hehhe
  12. HA HA! mystery indeed.. she likes wats that brand called.. chloe or something.. and she was gonna buy one for $3000.. then i pretended i got a heart attack in the shop so she didnt buy it
  13. lol hey ken!! ur in melbourne?? OMG!!! coincidence indeed!!!! because my dad's birthday is coming up and HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES montblanc pens.. and believe it or not I LOVE st dupont lighters and my girlfriend for some reason LOVES bags.. so omg omg omg and i heard that you sell these things.. ouftttttt ill be ordering some stuff from you soon if that is ok? you sell these things right?
  14. black and orange all the way!! .. mannnnnnnn ihope this wait is worth it.. nothing beats getting a perfect rep after waiting for so longgg.. but nothing is worst than waiting for so long and get some effed up reps with misaligned bezel, misaligned blablablabla.. i just hope everything is workinga nd good and ready to hit the water.. coz my tissot can go under water
  15. haha was quite warm in adelaide today actually... sunny and most girls were dressing sexy.. sunshine and all ... do you know what kind of quarts movement is in the tissot? and the glass? do you know how much to repair them? but i don't really care about the tissot anymore lol.. i just want my planet ocean
  16. haha i know oh well another reason to get a new watch .. i took it back to the AD and they told me that they gonna have to send it back to tissot or something to repair it.. i thought its not even worth it, to fix the damn watch it'll cost me probably 200$.. then i thought id just get a UPO.. looks better than tissot anyway and its an omega heheheh.. ahh yeh hows sydney treatin u? ..
  17. lol i know i cant wait.. i really need a watch right now.. all my watch are in the collection box.. and those watches i dont wear.. just for collections.. however my usual daily beater a tissot pr50 broke last week.. i smashed it on the floor.. and the quartz movement and the glass was broken.. so i needed a new daily beater.. so i decided to get the UPO.. and i heard the 3717 is very accurate to the gen.. so that'll go into my collections box too after i changed the datewheel anyway so ur from melbourne? or sydney?
  18. sorry .. but im just speaking from experience.. happened to me 3x before.. after 3 days nothing showed up.. and i told the dealer to check and hes like OK OK ILL CHECK BUT I SENT IT 3 days ago.. then i checked it the next day.. and finally it said items lodged on the day after i complained.. so yeh im not sure.. but it happened to me 3 times before.. but obviously others experienced differently.. hehehehheheheheh sorry for scaring u
  19. ultimate planet ocean and iwc pilot 3717
  20. Hi i checked my tracking today.. and it said Your item was released from Customs(COMMENWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA MELB EMS) at 2007-07-23 17:47:00... it said that it has been released in melbourne.. but i live in adelaide which is in a different state.. how many times does a package go through the customs? does this mean that it'll get checked through customs again in adelaide? or this means that my package should be ok? because im concern about this :S and normally it took 1 day from customs to delivery but this time.. its been 2 days and it still hasn't arrived yet.. so yeh.. its not that i cant wait.. i can wait.. but i just wanna make sure that its been through the customs so i dont need to stress anymore :S
  21. thats a factory pic.. and yes they do look yellow to me.. like the reps.. its a picture man.. if i photoshopped and airbrush my rep like wat they did in ur photos.. my pinions will look silver too.. but i saw a genuine 3717 yesterday, 3 days ago and the day before.. to compare it to my rep and boy.. them pinions look the same colour to me (the gen in the ad and my rep).. unless AD sells a fake watch then im not sure.. but yeh.. if ur gonna believe pics more than the real thing then its ok
  22. he probably hasn't sent the watch yet.. meh

    IWC 3717

    ridiculously good? i saw the pilot watch the other day in the AD but they didnt have the chrono version.. and the AR on that was very similar to the rep.. but the only thing that i noticed a difference off is the 3,6,9,12 markers.. on the rep it looks like a stick on thick double tape.. but then ive never seen a gen 3717 so i dunno maybe u can comment on this
  24. Pirated and counterfeit goods Copyright piracy and trade mark counterfeiting are illegal. By buying pirated or counterfeit items, not only could you end up with a flawed product, you are supporting an illegal trade that could involve serious criminal activity. You can play an important role in combating copyright piracy and counterfeiting of trade marks by not bringing pirated or counterfeit goods into Australia. In some circumstances pirated and counterfeit goods imported into Australia are liable to seizure by Customs and people importing such goods may be subject to civil litigation or criminal prosecution. there u go aussie law.. now im stressing like hell because i have one on the way :\ ... i swear if i survive this.. it'll be my last reps for a while :\
