  8. Attention rep makers! We want this watch!

    Vic and Pug, thanks for your support! :D Now we need to convince some factory to do this rep.... i wonder if they browse rep forums...hmmm <_<

    I don't have any PVD PAMs, and frankly, I think PVD would look much too masculine on me. Okay, this is ceramic, same idea -- the rep would be PVD.

    That and the fact that a PVD Radiomir is just SO wrong (it ruins the sleek lines of the case!), makes me think...yeah, I'd give this a shot. :p

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- If your boss wants to transfer you to Moscow this year, he'd better offer you a fair sum to do so - or even a downright handsome one depending on where you live now. That's because Moscow has just been designated the world's most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resource Consulting.

    Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive after taking into account the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment.

    World's most expensive cities 2007:

    1. Moscow

    2. London

    3. Seoul

    4. Tokyo

    5. Hong Kong

    6. Copenhagen

  14. Will gens eventually lose their value?

    in General Discussion

    gens will never loose their value. period. the prices are actually going up :)!

    also, have you seen CD prices (legal copies) go down in the past 15 years??

    in the next 10-20 years most of the factories making reps in china will be closed as china becomes more and more legit. this is a natural process, a number of countries are going through this right now.

    i do not understand this.. did we forget history all of the sudden? We all ARE foreigners here in the states (unless you are native american, which i dont think you are).

    very funny!

    But of course this makes us extremely intollerant to other cultures, at least this is what I was told by my Greek and Lebanese neighbors.

    what do you expectfrom fake gold?? of course it will wear off...

    Hi,

    I am looking at getting the two tone (gold and white) Carrera Automatic Chronograph from Andrew at TT. Does anyone know if the gold is likely to wear off on this model? Anyone have any experience with gold reps? If not then it looks like a smart watch for the right occasion.

    Thanks,

    Lee.

    I think that the same can be said about USA as well...

    Being American is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.

    And the most British thing of all?...Suspicion of all things foreign!

    Only in USA do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

    Only in USA do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke. <--- USA is really where it all started!

  19. silly questions about the lifespan of movements

    in General Discussion

    if you are planning to keep watch for such a long time - get an eta movement. $150-200 difference in price over the period of 5-10years is nothing...

    later on, say 5 years from now, if you want to replace your broken asian mov, the eta mov may be not available (out of poduction) or really rare and expensive or at least more expensive than now...

    regarding your 7750 question - if it is stored properly (not humid environment) and lubricated nothing horrible will happen to it in 2 years, especially if it just sits and not running...

    So they're just plain cheaper, in either parts or assembly... if the darn thing breaks down, can they be simply serviced and brought back to life ? or is it cheaper just to get a new movement ?

    How about the question in regards to usage as a factor of life expectancy ? If I let my Asian 7750 sit for a couple of years, will it break down on its own ?

  21. A gen 1675? Well it feel like a rep!

    i fill ya, you put down probably around 3K and expect everything.. but in reality it is a 30 years old watch that you cant really take out for a swim or just enjoy it cuz you are always worried that its gonna get scratched/damaged/ or stolen. stick to reps until you make enough money to not worry about these things...

  22. Why are reps so expensive?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Some dealers here actually check watches before they are shipped to the customer. We pay them for their time and service. its that simple. you got an extra $1000 and a few days to kill to fly to china and buy some cheap reps yourself???

    this is a business and very profitable one for our chinese friends :)

    guys this is funny, we buy reps from them, they buy gens..
