  1. Yes... with enough elbow grease. Use different abbrasives and finish with the CapeCod cloth. Poliching takes time, pressure and patience!
  2. 4 working days after payment. Silixprime is great!!
  3. BUUUUUUULSH#T! I had 600 posts over at RWGuide which earned me a little respect from the fellow members. I aggree that much knowledge about reps came along with these posts. Now here on the new forum I already know a lot about reps. That's why I (and many with me) am not going to post very much/ often. The way things are going now all the newbies with the trigger happy post finger earns a false status of wisdom.... Just my 0.02
  4. Due to that stupid ass post counter I already see many people posting [censored] replies. Some people just love that thing so much that they can't stop posting..... For the sake of this forum disable that thing so that quality will prevail over quantity!!
  5. This is just for high polished SS. You don't need a Dremel or other fancy equipment. My method is idiot proof and can't go wrong. Just remember to mask/tape the brusched parts of the watch or else they will become shiny to. WASH THE WATCH AND MAKE SURE IT IS CLEAN BEFORE YOU START!....... STEP 1: Use some copper cleaner to get rid of all the deep scratches. I use Hagerty copper polish (Commandant cleaner nr. 7 , Flitz, or Brasso will also do just fine). Use a clean cotton cloth (old T-shirt). STEP 2: Then use a CAPE COD cloth to get that high luster finish without all the nasty polishing scratches and swirls. STEP 3: Use a soft and clean fiber optic cloth to buff. If you want to get the scratches out from the BRUSHED parts use the Titanium & Steel Refinishing Pen. (Click on the link for before & after PICS AND VIDEOS). Remember to brush in only ONE direction. First try it with little pressure, if the scratches won't come out press a little harder but ALWAYS brush in one direction Ordering from the Watch Boys was very pleasant and fast. After polishing wit Brasso: After polishing with CapeCod
  6. Maybe it's an ETA 6497 but I'm not sure. I don't see the typpical ETA 6497 regulator, so it could be a Chinese copy!!!?? If it is the older ETA with the old and incorrect bridges then it is one of the most reliable versions! I would choose this one over the newer any day. @ Artoero don't forget that these people in Holland are trying to make some money, they have to take the risc of importing these watches and they also want to make some bucks. There's no harm in that. Think about it... do you know how much an authorized Breitling dealer pays for a genuine Breitling Steelfish(Euro 2010,-) ?.... no more than Euro 1000,-. That's more than a 1000 euros profit! Now that's a crime!! For that version of the fiddie (if it's brand new) Euro 450,- is not too much! If you want it cheaper buy it direct from the source in Asia and contact one of our dealers. But you have to deal with the riscs of import and shipping.
  7. I recently purchased this new Tag from Silixprime and I know there ain't much Tag fans on this forum so I'm not going to put much effort in this post I love it's design and overal looks. It's sporty yet classy and not too big (42 mm) but big enough to get noticed. I had some problems with the movement the first couple of days but I guess that was because it was new and needed some running in. At this present moment the second hand is running smooth and the chronograph works perfect. It keeps good time (- 3 secs/day) THE OVERAL QUALITY IS THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN!! I also own the SMP rep (which is considered the best quality rep available at the moment ) but this TAG is 2 times better. The stainless steel... the engravings... the feel.. the bracelet.... ALL PERFECT. I would rate this watch 99,999% accurate. The only thing that's off is the date font but that doesn't bother me (easy fix). .... and off course the movement. So far so good but we'll see? The serials are perfectly engraved but that doesn't show on the pic. In real life this watch is a 100 times more beautifull!
  8. Thumbs up!!... Let's c if my post counter is still the same?..... Nope! How come some of you guys have the same count of posts as @ RWGuide?.. Is there a way to take the post counter from RWGuide with me?
