How you can make gen refills fit:

http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...t=0#entry370050

Let me tell you that after I fitted my rep MB with a gen refill there is absolutely no reason to buy a genuine MB anymore. I find the overal quality and finish of my rep excellent. Off course there are a variaty of rep MB pens makes out there so surely it depends on the source. Try Narikaa, he never disappointed me.

No, I just want to try to tell MYSELF it is a gen... I've got a gen Tag Heuer Kirium quartz what I got from my father for birthday , and I never told anybody it's a gen... Anyway, I don't even wear it, I don't really like quartz watches.

But back to the point: I just want to "fool" MYSELF, not anybody else. You might believe me, you might not, I don't care! If anybody uploads a certificate, I'll appreciate it, if not, then not.

I didn't start the topic to argue with anybody, sorry guys, maybe it was my bad...

Greetz.

No harm done Yodap. I partially understand your standpoint. There is no arguing here just sharing some opinions . Sadly there are also people among us with other intentions for our high-end reps than just collecting them en appreciating them for what they are: Replicas! Don't fool yourself!

And why would you want papers? Do you carry them around to proof your watch is gen? Do you invite people to your home to look at the papers? In my opinion replicated papers stimulate and enourage scamming. Maybe not you but perhaps the person you might sell the watch to in the future....

People with gen watches (I'm one) keep their certificates and papers locked up in a safe. And if anyone would ever doubt the authenticity of my watch and wants to see the papers, my reaction would be to 'F off'! (sales excluded ).

Look at my signature

Anyone that pays $5000 for a watch based on these pics is asking for it.....

This happened to me before and squeezing the tube is very very risky! I applied a teeny tiny amount of thread lock in the tube (done with a needle) and it worked like a charm

I don't get it... all this fuzz about a loose chrono second hand? This is like the easiest fix of them all. Just uncase the movement. Use a tooth pick to realign the hand and push down on the hand tube.

Ya had ta look huh ? >> like a moth drawn to fire ...

the colours are dazzling RM. .. what's not to like ? .. go ahead be a risk taker ..

This ad almost pulled me over the edge. It's the steel bracelet that makes a huge difference IMO.

My eyes, MY EYES!

That's indeed a really nice gesture! This is the true RWG feeling, which can't be replicated .... all for one and one for all!

Your post is a waste of space

That's one ugly mofo.

Look HERE for the answers. Same problem.

This is an Asian DG 2813 movement with 21 jewels indeed and 21,600 BPH. Nothing to do with ETA. It's a $15 movement which performs rather good. Some complain it has a short power reserve. The rotor is supposed to move in both directions but it will only wind in one, this is normal. If runs okay now, it will probably run okay in the future...

Nice macro's informative write up. At first I really liked this rep and even considered buying it but after seeing Phoband's pics and now yours, I changed my mind!

IMO this strap is now already 2009th ugliest strap. It looks absolute horrible on the wrist with that weird metal thingy....

Feels like I'm back in high school ... I hate math LOL

Great write up, now all I need is a Breit with a slide rule

Thanks for sharing. Way to big for my wrist but it sure looks sweet. Does the gen also come with the rubber? I think this beast would look awesome on a leather strap

A lot of noobs are leechers and one-day-flies. They just take, take and take even more. The first post they usually make is to complain E.g. about a well respected dealer on this board, a rep which isn't truly 1:1 or a dust partical underneath the crystal....

I still think we have to limit the acces to the dealer and trade section for newbs. Best way is to require a minimum amount of posts. Sure this is no guarantee they will contribute valuable information, but they WILL engage in some conversations and learn things along the way!

From Seven pounds with Will Smith.

Oakley 10-213 Holeshot

'for your consideration'? You wouldn't by any chance be watching an illigal movie, now would you?

Seven pounds sucks. Same counts for the watch....

Damn that are some nice pictures!... and I'm not talking about the ones you're in

After some extensive research, I am in the process of learning new information on how to achieve a super mirror finish. If my attempts are successful, I will post a guide. However, none of the sites I came across mention how to properly clean wheels that are designed for rotary tools (you can't take a wheel rake to them as they're too small).

Is it advisable to clean wheels using soap and water, or just water?

Why would you want to clean the wheel? You can also buy and exchange different cloths for rotary tools.

Buy a Dremel. The cotton polishing wheels for a Dremel are cheap as hell.

I use 4 wheels:

- A piece of 200 grid grinding paper wrapped around a rubber Dremel wheel for the deep scratches.

- A cotton wheel for polishing with a rough finish (it has fine sand in but is less abressive that the 200 grid grinding paper).

- A cotton wheel with jewelers rouge for the fine finish.

- A coton wheel with a Cape Cod wrapped around it for the mirror finish.

... simple as that

The funny thing is that the balance spring is supposed to have a bend.... it's now probably [censored] up beyond repair. You need a new balane.

This is what you see with the dial, hands and date wheel removed.

If you remove this gear you disable the complete Quick Date mechanism.

Different parts of the mechanism which could cause drag?

ETAs may be at a premium, but are these actually ETAs? Visually I cant tell the difference anymore.

Amen to that! That's why I don't buy ETAs anymore... it's probably Asian anyway so why not buy a Chinese movement from the start and safe some $$$

Thanks.
