Try Ulysse Nardin, their ADs often has to offer big discounts as their watches are not very popular. Many Rolex ADs do offer discounts of up to 20%, especially in places like Hong Kong and perhaps Dubai where competition is more fierce. Of all the brands Louis Vuitton is the best at keeping the prices high as they don't have any authorised dealers apart from eluxury.com, they only sell their watches in their own boutiques therefore they're much more valuable at the 2nd hand market. Edit: eluxury.com is actually owned by LVMH, the parent of Louis Vuitton so they're not actually an AD.

Switzerland or Swaziland?

Absolutely stunning with the new Improved Asian 7750! This will be my next watch.

20, found RWG1 last February and now with 25 watches in my collection.

I thought they have 'rice wine' for that?

You can just move the logo with tweezers, shouldn't be a big job.

Not very good actually, there's a lot less pasta than the old red ones. The problem is that there are no definitive guide of Submariner reps here in RWG, while we all say 'MBW/DW are the best' only Luckyy has them and he's not a regular dealer here. There isn't anyone comparing the dozens of Submariner variations from Paul/Josh/PT and others. Paul alone sells 3 different types of the plain black Sub.

There's always time for a fresh start, perhaps it's time to do what you really want to do, like a change of careers, starting a new business or going back to school.

Scandinavia punching well above its weight with 3 members, that's more than France and Germany combined!

How about a Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sub from Subway? Or do you prefer more 'solid' ones?

Let me present you the biggest and the most detailed diecast model of a bus! I paid US$230 for this monster, a 1/24 China Motor Bus (Hong Kong) Daimler Fleetline DMS with a Park Royal body. Reg DA6535/XF187, in service between 1976-1993. More info here: http://www.omb-fleetlines2.wanadoo.co.uk/05242.htm http://www.omb-fleetlines2.wanadoo.co.uk/05241.htm Here's the place I brought it from: http://www.jotus.com/ The real XF187:

I think Paul (Or whoever he is) is saying the 'original style movement' which was used in the Rollies is now in this Omega. I agree with r11co it's a POS.

Are the ones above 43mm or 45mm, or both?

LOL Here's my new toy, a 1/24 diecast rep of a China Motor Bus (Hong Kong) Daimler DMS: And the real thing for comparision:

If she like the minimalist look there's always the Guccis.

Now here's a contentious topic.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5033648.stm IMO those Marines are out of luck this time as a journalist just happened to be filming the aftermath, I'm sure that many more civilians were killed just like this but were never reported. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Oh well........war is hell, soldiers kill innocent civilians (and their comrades too, remember Pat Tillman?) and then their commanders try to cover it up, how typical.

What happened was Paul screwed up on the crazy sale Pam shipment, he tried to get the orders in before he had the stock and when things all went to custard people started to complain to Paypal, which then locked his account for a significant period of time. All other shipments (i.e. Rollies & Omegas) during the crazy sale were not affected and that's the reason why I got my Cartier within a week. This time the crazy sale wasn't as big as the last one, with only a $30-$50 drop on price on the most common Rollie, Omega and Breitling reps. And as Sichuan mentioned $100 including shipping for an ETA Rollie can be done. You'd be surprised how much the dealers mark up their offerings, sometimes over 100%. I got my CN 111H from Silix for $110+$8 shipping (Shipping@Silix $16 for 2) when the same rep from Joshua will set me back $168 plus at least $10 for shipping. (Shipping@Joshua $30 for 3) You do the math. See the prices for yourself: http://perfect-clones.com/product_info.php...products_id=796 http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1471

Intresting thread...... .....What will happen when Aspire's customers start receiving their watches, with no problems? BTW I purchased a Santos 100 from Paul during his last crazy sale, I got it within a week.

I find it very odd when a rep maker makes a 1:1 case and then suddenly stopped making them after a few months...

You remind me of the wait I had to go though in order to get my Coldplay X&Y album, The Japanese got it days before the rest of the world and there's even a bonus track just for them! Although the album costs 2-3 times more. It seem like the Japanese are much more willing to pay more $$$ in order to get the cool stuff first.

Don't forget that there are non-chrono Asian 7750s out there, like the Arktos.

No Rollie GMTs for $109...... All of them are at least $150 so no change.

I can imagine a maximum of 20 people on this board getting one, but the dealer will have to carry the rest....unlikely to happen I think.

At least he's a reliable dealer.

Perhaps one of those green balls that Narikaa talked about? (Pics are near the bottom)
